  • Quick question about jade. The description states that while wearing it, "sims will randomly find crystals while doing things around the house". What exactly are those things around the house that you need to do for the crystal to take effect? Because my two gemologists in two different households have been wearing jade…
  • I got the pack on Sunday and have been stuck building my new sim's house and office since then, but today, I finally got to introduce her to gemology! The Leighs are a family of renowned jewellers who have been delighting wealthy customers with their crystal creations for generations. A few confused individuals claim that…
  • I never had any problems with roof/fence intersections. In fact, with balconies like this one that border directly on a roof, I tend to place (invisible) fences inside the roof to stop sims from walking through it because it doesn't technically have collision (which has never actually happened to me before, but we all know…
  • Edit: Accidental double post because of server error, please delete.
  • Completely agree, nothing to add here. (Except that I'd rather have angels, but I know how unlikely this is to ever happen.) Playing with nothing but ordinary mortals is too boring for me in the long run. I can hardly even read or write a book that doesn't include supernatural elements in some shape or form. As for my sim…
  • That’s exactly what I do as well. I never thought of a name for the world as a whole, but the individual worlds are grouped together in named "regions", "districts", "countries" or whatever I feel like calling them at a given time, and each has a capital as well. Right now, these are my regions/districts/countries with…
  • A clear NO from me as well, for the reasons others have already stated: It's rude, annoying, and completely unneeded. If the button did something new and unique, that would be a different story. The way the patch notes were worded made me think it would enable us to buy or download stuff and have it show up in the game…
  • When I opened this thread, I thought I was going to be the only one whose sims usually stay single, or with the same person for all of eternity. But reading through the replies, it seems I'm in good company. So yeah, most of my sims don't have a lot going on in their social lives, neither romantically nor platonically,…
  • I remember reading somewhere that children cannot wear crafted jewellery, so cut gemstones, when charged, could be the only way for children (and younger) to benefit from their effects as well. Can someone confirm whether or not this is the case?
  • Thank you for the clarification! Doesn't seem so severe then, I was imagining something much worse, but I'm in no position to judge because I'm not affected either way. Would be interested in hearing from someone who is sensitive to blinking or flashing lights how bad it really is for them. Same here, I didn't really think…
  • The shopping cart button, as disrespectful as it is, will probably stay in one form or another, and I'm not going to play offline for the rest of my life, so yeah, I'll still buy this pack, and others that will come afterwards. It's really not as big of a deal to me as some people make it out to be, we've always known that…
  • Sophia Leigh is a villain from Tomb Raider III, a woman born presumably in the 18th or 19th century who uses the power of a mysterious artefact, the Eye of 🐸🐸🐸🐸, to obtain everlasting beauty and immortality. I recently made her in CAS to honour the remaster of Tomb Raider III that recently came out. Then I learned about…
  • The recent patch day apocalypse and shopping cart controversy aside, I'm still over the moon about this pack! The only other Stuff Pack that ever had me this excited was Paranormal. As I said in an earlier post in another thread, I'm looking forward to combining the two and fighting ghostly home invasions with buffs and…
  • This shopping cart icon issue really baffles me. Personally, I'm not too bothered by an easy option to add new stuff to the game without restarting (if that's really what it does; if I'm not mistaken, EA_Cade is still trying to find out), but making it so obtrusive is another story. With all the accessibility features this…
  • Paranormal, Jungle Adventure, and Seasons, to name a few. I'm imagining a household of regular sims who can talk to and summon the dead, cast curses through ancient artefacts, manipulate others' emotions with scented flower bouquets, change the weather, and create jewellery with magical properties, but without any actual…
  • Sweet! I've been too busy playing the Tomb Raider remasters lately to keep myself informed about The Sims, but this is a cool surprise. I love it when they give us stuff that can be used in magical ways without requiring a sim to be an occult. I have this barely played monastery where the nuns don't have traditional jobs,…
  • The Goth kit works well with the Vampires stuff! I like it.
  • Just like in the corresponding GP thread, here comes my entirely subjective ranking of the EPs. If I were to rank these packs objectively (assigning more priority to things like novelty, uniqueness, bugs, and overall playability), the list would look a little different. But I decided to focus on my personal preferences and…
  • Here comes my entirely subjective ranking of the GPs. I'm emphasising this here (and a few more times down the line) because if I were to rank these packs objectively (assigning more priority to things like novelty, uniqueness, bugs, and overall playability), the list would look a little different. But I decided to focus…
  • I have wondered about those pants that stop right above the ankles, but figured they were made like this to avoid ugly collision with some shoes, because I've never actually seen anyone wear pants like that in real life. But given how little I care about fashion trends, and how rarely I look at other people's pants in…
  • Can shared spaces inside the building be used by played visitors? Example: If a residential rental has an indoor gym as a shared space that is accessible from the street, and I visit as a sim from a household that doesn't live on the same lot, can they get access to the gym immediately, or do they have to knock on some…
  • As much as I hate building, I still spend a lot of time in Build Mode because I simply can't play in a home that I don't like. Note that "beautiful home" can also mean "beautifully chaotic", like the Masons' house in Evergreen Harbour. It's haunted, polluted, plagued by all kinds of natural disasters, and it looks the…
  • That one sim in question can even help themself in that way. If you need to find five crystals, for example, you only really need one, then place it outside the sim's inventory, drag it back inside, and the game will stupidly count it as a newly discovered crystal. The same crystal won't contribute more than once to your…
  • - The already mentioned Friend of the Animals aspiration. The amount of stranger cats and dogs you have to befriend is just ridiculous. I would have preferred a veterinarian aspiration to come with this pack. - Outdoor Enthusiast. I keep forgetting it even exists, just like everything else from Outdoor Retreat, but it's…
  • My favourite world today is Glimmerbrook, which I'm building up for a second save starring my simself and my family as occults living in Glimmerbrook residential rentals. (The one in the lower middle is obviously still missing a neighbouring house, but I don't even own For Rent yet.) Were you using the venue change mod…
  • Most of my sims come straight out of CAS at the perfect age I had in mind for them. Everyone else gets to age naturally to the stage I want them to be, then I keep them there indefinitely. Sometimes they'll age up again later, sometimes not. For added challenge, I still keep ageing on for the active household so sims have…
  • @LeucosiaX I forgot to mention, it's best to use it in conjunction with this other mod by the same creator which allows you to change any lot to whatever you want. In fact, you will need that second mod to be able to change lots in vacation world to residentials. The first mod alone only allows you to travel to vacation…

  • Well, one thing that made me laugh in today's video is when someone said they wanted to give us many options to build... while presenting the second smallest world ever introduced in an EP. I still don't understand why it's only nine lots, but at least it's beautiful. Based on what I saw in the trailers, I didn't think I…
  • While the Magic Realm doesn't have traditional weather, you can easily change that without any cheats. Last night I brought a merman there and had him summon a thunderstorm. This was the awesome result: Look how dark everything is, with the light sources shining even brighter and more colourful! The last picture shows that…
