    What's a sim together story?

    Some members of the Sims team and some Game Changers create a brief let's play together on the Sims Twitch streams. One person will create the sims, another the lot, and then a few more (usually three) will each take a stream to play out the story (start, middle, end... ish) like a group storytelling project.

    They've done... I want to say two (one early in the pandemic, one to promote Eco Lifestyle) but I may have forgotten one.

    Oh yeah I remember watching a few live streams of one and it was very fun.

    For me it is always in the evening and because of real life circumstances I usually also can't watch at those times. So it will be a day later until I can read up on the news. I have gotten used to mentally adding another day ;) .

    I didn't expect an inside maxis this week. I hope we get some news about the next few weeks.

    I will skip watching this one and just read what it was about. I'm not into watching other people "play" the game, that doesn't interest me. I only watch inside maxis for "news" of what might be coming.

    Exactly. And it better be something good and new. If it's just them playing I don't care. I can play the game myself and there's already plenty of let's plays on TS4 on Youtube.

    Gameplay segment is first so if you're not down for that you might want to check in later or just wait for the recap.

    It's nice to see the forum acknowledged!! Everyone always thinks it's abandoned lol
    Honestly I think the only reason they engage directly is because someone always wants to start an argument with them and demand answers πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ otherwise they have proven time and time again that they do know the forum exists and reads it
    Zombies, oh please oh please give us zombies!! :'(

    He dodged that question about swimmable worlds like it were a poison dart in an Omiscan Temple.

    I love that there'll be a refresh for a past gamepack. It's likely going to be Dine Out or Outdoor Retreat...unless they'll be making Selvadorada livable.

    If it's OR, I'd like to be able to live in Granite Falls, hike like they do in SE, swim/wade in the waters, shower in the falls, and have bugs spawn in more places than just that world.

    If it's DO...I'm not sure what they could upgrade. Other than fixing the bugs and making the careers playable (active chef/host/waiter career), I'm at a loss.

    I wonder which pack is it that they have been working on improving? Can't wait to see what that is about. I am ready for zombies yet. :lol:

    So it sounds we'll be getting info on a new - non occult-themed - Gameplay Pack in the near future. I was busy with some tuning so I'm not 100 % sure if I got it correctly.

    The also indirectly said that we will (unsurprisingly) not be getting existing worlds updated with swimmable bodies of water.

    The team is also looking for our ideas of how to make this game more challenging - I'm very much into that one.

    Actually, they said they'll be refreshing an existing gamepack.

    Other than that, we'll be getting updated existing townies, and lore for them.

    That non-answer to the "swimmable worlds" question stuck hard in my craw. This is why I always champion listening to what someone does not say, just as much as what they do.

    Is the replay available yet? I started watching but had things going on so I missed the back half.

    *Edit: Never mind, found it! Sounds very optimistic for more Occults!! <3 I hope the updated GP is going to be Realm of Magic! I always felt it should be an EP. And I'm really glad to hear they'll be taking suggestions for more challenging gameplay! That's wonderful! I hope I'm back from vacation by then, I really want to contribute some input. :)

    Sounds interesting, I'm looking forward to it. I wonder if the Game Pack is Dine Out.

    Yeah it might actually be pretty complicated to add swimmable worlds...I'm not sure.

    I suppose it's a bit too much for me to hope that they'll be adding more lots to Forgotten Hollow.
