    Travis got himself a Lightsaber. :smile:

    The Resistance also got a taste of his hacking powers.

    With my play I have it so that the family has no idea each member has joined a different faction. For most of the day they're together, acting like they are on a typical family holiday. Then around evening/night they go their separate ways to complete missions.

    Playing this way has made the game pack more fun. There have been a couple close calls were Travis, for example, would catch his son (Derek) acting like a scoundrel and Derek would have to make a run for it. Liberty and Travis have been doing good so far staying clear of each other. I think when they get higher in their factions I'm going to have Liberty confront Travis.
    There's Derek in the background trying to think of a way to get around his dad.

    I love having my sims play sabbac. If there were more hours in the day I would be building a japanese karaoke-bar with a sabbac-corner in the back.

    Sabbac is probably my favorite part of the pack. I know it's a little thing, but I like that my sims can gamble and that they'll do it for more than 15 sim minutes. The Fengs are at this creepy mansion in Forgotten Hollow playing a high-stakes card game at 2:00 in the morning with a pair of vampires thinking "how did I end up in this situation?".

    SilentKitty and OEII1001, don't know if you already know, but Lebbion's mod is now updated to include sabbac as a club activity. Once I've run through the jedi club enough to be sure it works as it should, I'll be making my scoundrels club as well.
    Hmm... whom to choose?

    Speaking of the Jedi Order though, had kava-grandma, er, Luminara run a meeting at the temple, and after a few snags things went well, everyone (all, uh, five of them. Yup, a big Order indeed) doing their lightsaber things and getting along great - too great in fact, but nevermind that - I got the popup that yoga class was starting. Sent them along down to the basement for yoga class then, and... the yoga instructor is Asajj Ventress.
    Not quite what I thought would be her path in life, but somehow, yeah, stay classy Asajj and whip those jedis into shape.
    (they all did well, btw, except for Luminara who was basically just doing her own thing in the back while everyone else followed instructions. She also lost her shoes somehow)

    Same here. I have a sabbacc table in every save and all my main sims turned into scoundrels. Batuu or not. Man I love it!
    Best thing that happened to my sims this year. :D

    Oh, wonderful! I have an empty space in my Vampire's basement, I'll put in a Sabbac table!

    The hair and a few of the outfits are cute... I also bought it at 50% off which is great.

    (Although I bought it because I briefly thought I would need it for the pack coming out soon, though quite a few people fell for it from what I heard. I honestly think EA did this on purpose because they needed more people to buy the pack but hey I have a few cute outfits and hair styles and I might actually play the pack someday... It at least has more missions than Strangerville)

    I like the droids you can make!

    Hope you end up enjoying it DevSims91, I've personally found that it fits nicely (and unexpectedly, didn't think it would) with bits and pieces from several other packs, it probably is all in what you're going for.

    Two questions for you fellow Batuu/Star Wars fans:

    Has anyone played a household with more than one droid yet? I'm curious to know if the droids interact at all, on Batuu or at home, at least bleep at each other or something.

    Also, can anyone suggest a female scoundrel from anywhere in the various SW-verses to me? I've already made Sugi, Mara and Ventress (Mara and Asajj sort of qualify, right?), but could use a few more for my game I think. Oh and I have Aurra Sing as well, I suppose she counts too. :P

    Ysanne Isard for sure if you are doing legends. Oh, and Gara Petothel (alias Lara Notsil).

    Both good suggestions, I think I will - but Ysanne Isard as a scoundrel? No, she's surely an imperial girl.
    ...oh no. I shouldn't have written that. Now I have the song "Material Girl" running through my head with "material" swapped out with "imperial" :sweat_smile:

    I think Cara Dune will be added to my game, even though I thought I wouldn't unless I could also make Mando and baby Yoda, but... yeah. A few others too, and a few imperials to join Iceheart wherever I plunk her down (I feel compelled to do a hair recolor for her first :P). She needs some stormtroopers, right?

    Okay it's been a few months, but anyone still playing Journey to Batuu noticed alien "hats" not showing up anymore ? So I have a bunch of bald humans including hornless zabraks, and maybe one or two mirialans if I'm lucky.

    Out of interest I browsed youtube for people playing the pack for the first time this month, and they all have the same problem.

    I know the dev team really isn't good at coding but come on. Give me my weequays back EAxis. How did you even manage to break that ?

    @happyopi , it has been broken for some time now, there is a thread about it at AHQ , here:
    https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-JGB-Townies-in-Batuu-are-missing-face-masks/td-p/9723701

    My main save gladly started before the bug happened, so I still have all the "hats" at my main, but not any other saves :(
    My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
    Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
    My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
    Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

    My sims went to Batuu maybe 2 weeks before Paranormal came out and everything looked fine except for when my sims went to go "freshen up" something got glitchy. I can't remember what. I'll have to go look again.

    Okay, now the Batuu townies are hatless. And when my sim goes to freshen up I can't control them. :'(

    Batuu is a mess. I'm trying to find human sims for the recruit first order mission and all sims look human but many aren't. I clicked me too on the bug report, I hope they fix it soon.

    @happyopi @DragonAge_300905 @Ellupelluellu

    I still play with my Sim, Lea, and I haven't had any issues. Lea recently reached the highest Resistance rank. I've keep my Star Wars restaurant in the game so it will always be playable. Sometime this year, I plan to go back and do the Scoundrels with a new Sim.

    Interesting how some have issues and others do not.

    Picks today from Batuu

    Remodeled my Batuu restaurant by bringing the chef station upstairs.

    Restrooms and wine cellar is still downstairs. I still think this pack is the cats meow.

    Those bartenders and bald sims are actually aliens. If you try to recruit them for the first order mission, you'll get a message that they need to be human.

    @DragonAge_300905 ... I haven't played the First Order missions at all. I've only played the Resistance. When I was recruiting for the Resistance, I only recruited while walking around either Black Spire Outpost or the First Order District. I never went into the cantina to recruit anyone.

    By the way, I always found several humans walking around those two areas depending on the time of day. Yet, It does take time for people (humans and more aliens) to start showing up.

    Yeah, I'm not seeing any "Alien" Sims in Batuu either, so I left a "me too" and comment on AHQ. I hope it gets fixed in the next patch.

    Yeah, Batuu is ruined without the alien masks. I feel bad for people that buy the pack new and don't even get to see how it should have looked. I was using the heck out of it when it first came out and was integrating batuu with my Sixam aliens but Batuu lost all of its appeal without SW aliens.
