Thanks for your comments, @keekee53 and @Cinebar . I don't actually have any custom mailboxes though, nor do I have AL (I play on the Mac Sims 2 Super Collection). The only CC I have in my game is a mod that lets you gain skills while on community lots. I'm pretty sure there is a normal mailbox on the vacation lot, but I…
I just finished getting my first batch of Sims through university in Sims 2, and good God, was it tedious. It takes SO LONG. I had to give my Sims insane romantic lives just to keep it entertaining! On the one hand, it was way too easy to get good grades. On the other hand, the stuff you do to get good grades was very…
None of these options really matches me - I intentionally kill Sims for story purposes sometimes, but other times I just let it happen. It's not about enjoying it or not enjoying it, but about what happens in the story. In Sims 4 I do get annoyed at how they get a "warning" moodlet from something like electrocution, and in…
Thanks @kally_space - I am glad there is still support for my ideas! If your main problem is that you don't like what the townies are generated wearing, you can use the MC Dresser module from MC Command Center to blacklist certain CAS items from appearing on randomly generated Sims.
It's very sad that they do this. I use MCCC to stop culling from happening. There was a time when my main legacy Sim was so glitched that I had to test something in his file without mods, and I saved because I thought that would help me test the problem. Turns out I didn't need to save, but saving the game after just a few…
@nerdfashion - I think you missed the sarcasm of Simpkin's post... :sweat_smile: They actually agree with you. Still, would have been good to have a more diverse array of people. Of course nobody thinks all white people are the same, but the Sims is about representing yourself so the more, the merrier.
How do we know they're all Young Adults? Teens and Young Adults look the same in TS4. :lol: I don't mind getting new cover art and new characters on the box - it does not affect me at all. These are my biggest problems with the redesign: - The renders are really low quality on the new base game box art. - The main menu no…
I'll try to answer your question. Expansion packs come with a lot more Build/Buy objects than Game Packs and especially Stuff Packs. I find the uniquely coloured Expansion pack icons helpful because I can more easily remember the handful of items that came with a Stuff Pack, and Game Packs usually have such specific themes…
Great idea for the duplexes and custom-made apartments! Going to have to try that one sometime. My only problem with using door-locking to try to simulate apartments is that it prevents guests from coming inside. How do you deal with that when it comes up?
Thanks for the tag! Your Powerpoint was an interesting read. I agree that the premades are generally lacking in depth compared to premades in earlier games, though I still have had fun with some of them. I'm not as concerned about timeline issues in new iterations. What bothers me more is when they change the personality,…
Windenburg already looks like Scotland (except the more German town centre, though I've been to towns in Scotland that look pretty close) so I feel satisfied on the home front, but I'd love to see... - a mountainous world with premade lots taking advantage of terrain tools - imagine the Andes, we never see South America in…
Yes, you can have pizza on the menu in restaurants with Dine Out! That's actually what I know pizza from since I don't think I've ever ordered pizza delivery in game. :lol:
In Harvest Moon, pigs find you truffles which are worth a lot of money - that's what they're raised for in those games. :smile: So if they got pigs it would probably be for something like that, but I don't see them animating a whole animal just so you can get a special mushroom! That said, I'd love a farm pack that focused…
@elanorbreton - Sorry you don't find it easy to navigate, my sister uploads many of her households without descriptions because she just uses the Gallery as a backup. She makes lots of beautiful Sims though, so picking one at random could at least find you lots of cool faces.
The little detail I like most about Sims 4 is the way Sims who love each other look at each other when they walk by. Sometimes two lovers make my heart melt with their loving gazes!
My sister has remade a lot of the Sims from handheld Sims games on our shared gallery account, Terra575. You could download them and look them up on the Sims Wiki for their backstories if you've never played the games. :smile:
Definitely the photo booth! Also would love to see the hammock, landlines, newspapers, laptops, the Elixir of Life (including the chance to backfire), the small telescopes, and the toymaking and robot-making stations!
