What Do You Never Play With/Use In TS4? «123456...Next Go

JasonSim16

One time I asked the team what object is least played with and they surprisingly said the Voodoo Doll. Since then I've seen the Voodoo Doll added to the Hijinks Festival so I wonder if that statistic has changed.

With that being said, what object do you NEVER play with in TS4 and what object can you not live without?

ohmyohmy

the voodoo doll & the object i can't live without is probably the toilet.

Wyrren

The huge cupcake maker comes to mind. Never used it.

Can't live without is harder... well, can I count toddlers? no? lol Umm... I think I put a hot tub in every house I design.

Cupcake maker, rocket ship, telescope, microscope, banzai plant.

voodoo doll and everything that is stupidly huge. Did we really need a cupcake factory the size of a room? Why couldn't the doll house be like previous versions? Nooo, it has to be HUUUGE. Telescope is not a telescope, that's an OBSERVATORY. Why do I need to build a WHOLE OBSERVATORY in my backyard if I want to look at the stars as a hobby? Who has a microscope THAT SIZE?

Legit everything that is oversized I don't use anymore, especially having in mind that I'm now playing with apartments (but even before that I was a fan of tiny houses and small lots )

I never have my Sims play with the rounded clay object thing.

I can't play without a computer in my Sim's house these days..... too many good uses for it!

Figwit

I put the cupcake factory at my lab. My scientist builds his baking skills when he has done his other work-related chores.

Least played, I would have to go for the voodoo doll too. I always sell it.

Can't live without? Probably the violin. All my sims learn to play the violin.

Photgaraphy.
Oh and Aliens...Haven't even had a Sims be a scientist to prevent them from spawning in my game)

HowGreatThouArt

Woodworking bench, cupcake maker, and bonsai tree. Basically what everyone else is saying. I don't think my Sims could live without a fridge.

Nini

Never played with an alien, don't use the cupcake machine, woodworking bench and voodoo doll

Can't live without a good bed, appliances and shower/toilet

Jerrello

Never built a rocket ship, never used the freeze ray gun, or portal machine in science career, and haven't used cupcake machine but I plan to at some point.

srosenmund

Definitely the cupcake machine. Never used it - always took up way too much room. Not really fond of the HUGE doll houses this time around. What happened to the good old fashioned telecope? The one that's in game now is the size of a small room! Never use the hats.

Something I can't live without..... Fridge, fireplace, and computer.

Never have used the Cupcake Machine, Voodoo Doll and agree that so many objects in Sims 4 are not to scale. When I first saw the "Telescope" and the small lots, I really wondered "WHAT" the devs were thinking. And don't even get me started on the ice cream cones and cans of juice/soda for kids. There is no excuse for this oversight to me from the creators/developers.

All my sims lots have a swimming pool even if it's in the basement or on the roof. Lifelong swimmer in RL, so all my sims are too.

So many things I never use or do sadly.. voodoo dolls yes I dont use, there is little to no consequence.

All GTW careers are boring so I stop playing them. Actually I havent even tried doctors yet and will probbaly never do. I do play the careers as normal non active career

I stop doing outdoor retreat vacation. I like the idea of vacation but not a huge fan of camping in the insects infested forest. I desperately wqnr vacation so I bought OR

Come to think of it I almost stop using the SPA too . I like the spa a lot in ts3 as it is an easy way to make sims happy . But sims in ts4 are already way too happy like they are constantly on weeds so there is no need to send them ro spa

Autumn_Cats

Rocket ship, Clay, Cupcake machine, voodoo doll, babies, elders, telescope, swimming, hot tubs, computers, and moreee

jimbbq

Oh yea the ginormous science stuff I dont use any more!

dorcsyful

I've had the game since it was released but I don't remember using the observatory EVER. Same for the cupcake machine.
But I do love photography and painting so those are must-haves.

Lustianicia

I haven't used the rocket ship or the cupcake factory. I always forget the cupcake factory even exists.

jimbbq

I dunno who in the team is responsible for those giant items! Yes cupcake machine I never use too.

Netzspannung

I never played with the horseshoe pit. Never will. I cannot live without the yoga mat.
I am not overjoyed with the large items, but I don't dislike them either. I just use them on community lots and not in my homes.

It's a good thing you've never used the Observatory because for a majority of the time, it pulls sims away from the things you have them queued up to do and they will spend HOURS in it. I used to have them in all my large home lots but not anymore. Same thing for the large microscope -- sims always want to use it even when they have no samples or rocks to analyze in it.

The Basketball Hoop is the newest sim magnet and I am probably going to be pulling it from my sims homes until the "attraction" level is dialed back in a patch or by a modder. It's so ridiculous that these objects are added w/out true game testing from the developers.

DeKay

I've used all these things that you guys have listed.

I guess some things that I didn't use are certain clutter items.

musteni

I try to make use of everything, playing rotationally it makes sense that the different families enjoy different stuff. I've made an attempt to use all items mentioned this far. I had to quit using some OR stuff on residential lots because sims find them too attractive.

The most troublesome thing for me is probably the microscope. What kind of sim would have one at their home? A gardener who likes to research plants? All my gardeners are more downtoearth types than tech savvy, but maybe I could pull it off?

Some of my easy to use items are painting easel, guitar and hot tub.

I do have the microscope and the observatory in a couple locations. Mainly because I love the pictures that sims can get with them. Some of them that come from the microscope are oversized as well but I think I like that. My faves are the pictures of nebulas and planets from the observatory. I added a community kitchen and put the cupcake factory in a small adjoining room. Mainly because I wanted to see what it would do and I had no room anywhere else for it. I do admit it is pretty cool and there are some really good recipes since the game menu has been expanded on, but it is just too big. I have used the voodoo doll for a sim to get back at her cheating husband. That was pretty funny. Something I use the least of all is the coffee makers and the tea maker. It's just not worth the massive bladder drain for the tiny spike in energy. My sims always end up peeing on themselves, or very close to it, whenever they drink it. The coffee pots are deco only for me. And I never use the bonsai tree, or the dirty laundry clutter objects. The motion going rig I have only used once. My sims kept flocking to it, so I got rid of it. And I have built one rocket ship at the sim lab science career place. But I never used it either. And I have only made one fountain. Not the object fountain but the one you build like a pool. I really like it though and intend on adding more if I ever have the room too. Hence, developers will you please stop making everything so dog gone big.

The cupcake machine. I think I've only used that thing once, maybe twice since I got the game. The observatory as well. Tbh I wish they'd given us a regular telescope instead; I would have used it more.

Not sure what object I can't live without (besides the necessities of course), but whenever I have a musical sim, I tend to choose the violin over the guitar. It's my favorite string instrument, so. c': I'm also fond of the yoga mat.

StrawberryYogurt

The voodoo, the cupcake machine. Also the juice boosters things you earn through whims, the"max energy/fun/social" ones. Anything to do with ghosts. I still haven't used the herbalism because I dont feel like searching everywhere for plants lol. I cannot live without the radio because i personally enjoy listening to the classic music on there and my custom music.
