That's awesome. Thank the llama they fixed this. This would be a great addition to a challenge.
I've had two fires. They were the nastiest fires I'd ever seen. Got me a little scared. All turned out well in the end though.
I never said you had to.
Fascinating.
So far I have had only one fire and it was one of my children on the lab table. No other fires. Didn't they say something about that in the last patch? Yep a grill or cheap stove should work. I will have to go and look at the rules for IBSI but remember some of the asylum.
As I remember when you made your 8 sims you randomized the traits. Can't do that in TS4 I don't think. (have to check)
I am pretty sure that when you don't pay the bills both water & elec is turned off. You are right @fullspiral they said they fixed it.
In IBSI can the sim you control have a job? Asylum you could but you could only go to work no where else. LOL My poor sim would come home so tired and there wouldn't be a bed to sleep in.
Geez It will be hard to accomplish with TS4 because sims are harder to kill and easier to make happy. Dang cell phones.
My fires were with the stove and the Wizard starter set.
I thought we could randomize. That one, I will have to check again. I'm not postitive. However, you could just randomly click.
Awe. I feel your pain. My husband finds S4 a little more frustrating than S2. I find it easier. I think it all pars down to how you play.
Mine don't read to skill up, but I have a Sim that is neither a bookworm nor a genius. Who knows why, but I picked the "Nerd Brain" aspiration for her and she is required to read lots and lots of books. But all is not lost...she is hanging in there, bless her little virtual heart! Lol.
I'm still experimenting with all the aspirations. So far, for children, I like the rambunctious trait the best. They're more fun. There are so many to chose from as far as aspirations and traits go. It may take me some time.
I don't remember if we can randomize traits or not. Having to much fun playing to snoop around in CAS. LOL
Oh no I don't have any issues playing TS4! I am loving it. I meant hard to make the challenge be as good as TS2. Will probably have to tweak a few of the rules to get it to work right. They have those dang phones so I believe I will cut out the TV. If I remember right they could only have 2 skill things. 5 beds(remove one when someone died) 5 chairs (again remove one when someone died and this included living room seating) as in if you had a 3 person couch you could only have 2 dining chairs etc.. One bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. Bookshelf.
What else?
Yes! That's the one I picked for my very first child Sim recently. Having a blast with it so far!
It's the one trait I was reluctant to chose since I started playing, and now, I have no idea why I kept putting it off. I love that kid.
Yep you are right. I think their phone will be enough entertainment. I think the quick meals might be a problem also. I wonder do we need a fridge with the grill? If not then the fridge is out.
Then you're getting into asylum rather than IBSI territory. You get to have nice things with an IBSI. It's more like a legacy where you don't control all the sims. My Asylum inmates argued but didn't fight much (though several hated each other). I only had one fire and darned if the sim didn't put it out himself. And I had one person die from embarrassment (which is pretty easy since an asylum gives you 1 toilet, 1 shower/bath and 1 sink for the entire household).
Sims 3 IMO took some of the fun out of asylums, too, since ghosts wouldn't come back and scare sims to death. Things got pretty dicey in an asylum once someone died. Good times.
I don't think we need a fridge. You don't need them at the parks. I'll need to check on this.
What are the main challenges in IBSI?
Have you ever watched Llandros09's Asylum Challenge on Youtube for Sims 3? He has great fun with it! Mostly follows all the rules, but adds a few quirks, like the Cowplant and Jellybean Bush. Lol. I highly recommend watching his playthrough if you haven't seen it.
Yep I am thinking of doing the Asylum chaos too. It just didn't work well in TS3 but in TS2 it was so fun. The challenge will be getting it to work in TS4. I saw someone earlier mention the emotions might come into play so it could get interesting. I will be sure to have at least one Hot-Tempered sim in the house.
Ooh. Yes. Angry sims are so fun. It's easy to do once you figure out the system too. But leaving them on their own with nothing to entertain them would be very interesting if the emotions kicked in. I think.
Oh cool! I will look it up tomorrow. Watch it while I sip my coffee. Thanks!
LOL The jellybean bush is a nice touch!
probably have to tweak the challenge for TS4 also.
LOL you know one emotional lamp per room your choice could wind it up nicely!
With all of our plotting I just noticed this. I hope you don't mind!?
I bet it would.
As long as we stay on topic, it should be safe for the OP. I hope.
I just had to add this, and this is sort of on topic. My rambunctious child just aged up and it was time for me to change households. I'm playing in rotation. My next family has a social butterfly who befriended him. She's still a child. I just sent her to the park to make her fifth friend, and her rambunctious friend (who's now a teen) was there.
He's being such a jerk to the other kids. He's standing there with a horrible tone and sounding like he's belittling them. I know this makes me a horrible person, but I can't stop laughing about it.
I think I might marry them when they're at the same age.
Almost all of mine were hot-headed or mean, but I didn't know about influencing emotions with items when I played. (The asylum was literally my first attempt at Sims 4 because I figured I could watch a lot of the interactions/gameplay with it.) I made them all insane, too, but that didn't really seem to do anything. Maybe if I made them all loners it would add some tension. My asylums tend to be huge rectangles with no real hiding spots except for a bath separate from the toilet.
I never know what they are going to do when I am not looking.
