    @asterravos lol, it's cool. I'm the same. I usually recognize people by their avatars & sigs. ;p Can't wait to see more of your story. Enne's so cute! The graphics look amazing on your computer and I know you've done a lot of people a favor by uploading these in-game shots.

    Oh yeah. Thanks for the compliment as well. ;)
    I study psychology. I am often observing social interaction and human behavioral patterns which means you are all my lab rats each time you post.

    @zombieghostgirl - A whole new person with an avatar change. Took me a second to remember you :P Cute sim, by the way! Thanks for stopping in!!

    @Pugslover4 - :D Glad you like it so far! (I should warn you that I've been editing my posts to add pictures)
    You're welcome. It just I like both of them and my favorite couples. I am still don't have a knack on with the avatars yet. ;)

    I believe Enne told a joke.
    14928158569_e32f598498_o.png

    I guess it wasn't particularly funny...
    14928294287_3bff731512_o.png

    WOW LADY! RUDE!
    15111846601_b4a4eb154e_o.png

    Nice, Enne. That'll teach that mean old lady to give you the eye.
    14928195810_e73af86fea_o.png

    Still giving the eye... I have to say the grumpy trait in TS3 was one of my favorites. I'm hoping TS4 has some good rage-y faces.
    14928195760_b2ddc7d792_o.png

    Just can't help myself from taking all the pictures...
    15114478592_9b111ea3a6_o.png

    So... Color me confused. Enne has the Dastardly trait and wants to be the Chief of Mischief but she gets tense around criminals?
    14928195620_3db454f2d4_o.png

    I know some people had lots with low sim counts... I need to beat them with a stick to keep them away!
    14928253590_209b868a56_o.png

    Beeeelllllllaaaaa.
    14928340508_a85ebf1f47_o.png

    Bella might be a criminal, better avoid eye contact.
    15091914056_499f2ab072_o.png

    There's a path behind Enne's house with a fishing spot and more plants/fossils.
    14928214669_b93335d10b_o.png

    Purdy view of the house from here.
    14928340278_4f66032172_o.png

    Snatched this fossil right out from under the other sim, HA!
    15114536032_444b31bb52_o.png

    And this is how you properly call the Geo Council about your find.
    15111902821_a45f45e64c_o.png

    Sciencey moodlet.
    14928412917_78e728f8b5_o.png

    Enne found a ruby that time.
    15114967855_aa86d0ced8_o.png

    The blur hurts my eyes when taking scenic shots :(
    14928315880_c5e6f8e698_o.png

    To make her less tense she wanted to take a brisk shower.
    14928412827_b1f2668e6a_o.png

    Shower picture because I'm creepy.
    15114597582_ab1c2da7dc_o.png

    How refreshing!
    15114597462_62de822955_o.png

    The gems looks so pretty! I almost don't want to sell them.

    @Smidgieroo3 - Thank you so much, glad you like her :) I find her adorable but I know quirkier facial features aren't for everyone.

    @VRStevenson - Have fun braving the forum then! It is sure to kill just about anything. :P
  • Aeroprincess87Aeroprincess87 Posts: 6,416 Member
    So is there a difference this time around, between 'take a shower' and 'take a brisk shower'?
  • MckinneyMiniMckinneyMini Posts: 456 Member
    Ok as frustrated as I am with my game, this picture thread by you makes me so happy :-). You always take amazing pictures Asterravos :-).
  • asterravosasterravos Posts: 3,415 Member
    I have a question. Is there a break up option? You may have to play a married household to check.

    Hi again, @catloverplayer :) I started a quick new save to check your question out and another persons'. There is a break up option under mean. They were boyfriend and girlfriend.

    Hi, thanks for this thread! I have been wondering about the aging up with traits process. If you are able to answer some of my questions that'd be great. How does it work? Is it child gets one trait, teens two, and YA three/four? And then I was wondering how they're chosen as your sim ages up. As far as I know there's no randomize traits button, judging from the CAS demo... so are we forced to choose our child's traits, does the game choose them? Can we still randomize them when they age up? I strictly randomize the traits when they age so I really wanted to know... thanks in advance!

    Enne looks great btw. :) I'm not getting this game for a little while so I'm constantly browsing stuff like this and will keep updated. Enjoy the game!

    Hiya, @skylinesx :) I started a quick new save to test out your questions since I was really curious too. I love randomizing traits :(

    Yes, children get one trait and a specific aspiration to them. Teens get two and an 'adult' aspiration. And adults get three and an aspiration.

    Unfortunately there is no randomizing traits or aspirations. You're given a full (possibly not completely if aging from baby to kid) list of traits.

    Here are the screens for a child aging into a teen:

    Thank you so much :D I'm glad you like her!
  • asterravosasterravos Posts: 3,415 Member
    @pandora4co - Me again :P So you can see how many days until they age up in their 'simology' type tab. YA on normal lifespan ages up in 20 days and kids in 13.

    Bookmarked this thread. I'm not sure if I've spoken in one of your threads or not, Aster, but I really enjoy your picture threads.
  • GenuineGemGenuineGem Posts: 135 Member
    This is the first time I've stumbled upon one of your threads and am enjoying it so far. Thanks so much for this :D

    Enne studies the gems then sells the ruby.
    14928617989_0110e1439e_o.png

    We get something back from it being sold though...?
    14928659780_c837e0d38c_o.png

    I think Enne is still tense and that's why she's so bitter about her tasty salad.
    15112306251_2324a87494_o.png

    15115307115_d34f69b111_o.png

    Careful now, Enne. Tense is going to be my favorite emotion for you.
    14928659970_91395829f8_o.png

    She calmed herself down int he mirror (talked herself down? - I don't remember).
    15115306995_efae81f4b8_o.png

    She wanted to play an instrument so I sent her to the park since I don't want her constantly playing bad music on the home lot. We caught this guy giving someone the dirty eye.
    15092315596_b0de43188c_o.png

    O.o Poor Enne.
    14928802337_eec017345a_o.png

    Kids <3 Monkey bars <3
    14928665079_ae52ce635c_o.png

    Enne needs a kid... asap.
    14928802137_d09a3ff6d3_o.png

    Bad music is really bad. I don't know who they recorded to get the guitat and violin at low levels but wow.
    14928664869_266b2c7444_o.png

    Oh, look. There's even wronger notes.
    15092363926_4276c81518_o.png

    All the sims we're tormenting with music.
    15092363856_b409453832_o.png

    Enne has no shame!
    14928793278_69f9bccd8d_o.png

    The park was very well populated. :)
    15114986562_e90d1d9e2b_o.png

    **I saved and exited after the previous picture. Loading up my game... Enne was no longer playing the guitar and it was in her inventory. Also I can't use the ~, 1, 2, and 3 shortcut keys anymore... :s
    15115413152_54313934b4_o.png

    Homeless sim...?
    14929092549_4ebf907a1e_o.png

    Vivienne played some chess with Vivian.
    14929227607_c431f67fb8_o.png

    I've actually never played chess before O.o
    14929227597_8dcd19352b_o.png

    Awwww, she's better than Enne!
    15115412782_eee299e8f6_o.png

    I think that might be her daughter far off in the background...?

    @Amj1995 - :O *HUGSSSS!!!!* So nice to see you :D Thank you so much! Are you playing TS4 too?

    @Elyssandariel - In the options you can switch the camera to TS3's version which I've done because TS4 doesn't allow you to t ilt (supposedly, I read creators camp people saying this). 'C' is still the key to take pictures. :) Just a side note, I might be doing something wrong but I'm unable to take screenshots in CAS.
    Hope you have fun tomorrow! I look forward to seeing your pictures.

    Wow, I love your pictures. They look so awesome.

    Have you ticked the option "Uncompressed Sim texture" in the settings?
    Everything I post is an opinion here and I think every post of others is as well.

    Thanks so much for doing this! The pictures are so cool!

    With the emotional auras on the minerals and stones, which auras did they give off?
  • Rhian2005Rhian2005 Posts: 611 Member
    Very cool pictures. Thanks for contributing :) Can't wait to get my copy!
  • AtomicusAtomicus Posts: 2,438 Member
    Wow, stunning pictures! :open_mouth: I am so happy to see this, I loved your TS3 pictures threads. Your Seasons one was my favourite, I can't believe it's been so long. :cry:

    I think I can already tell the answer, but are you enjoying the game? :smile:
  • skylinesxskylinesx Posts: 141 Member
    Thanks so much for your response and for taking pictures of it! But yeah that's a shame we can't randomize traits anymore. :( I'll have to find my own way now to randomize it, lol.
  • asterravosasterravos Posts: 3,415 Member
    @lynny - Enne was only able to buy 'starter' seed packages. Her flower packets contained: chrysanthemum, daisy and blue bells. Her veggies contained: mushrooms, carrot and spinach. Her fruit contained: grapes, plantains and apples. And the herbs contained parsley and basil. I'm guessing as you level the skill new packets will be available to you. Gardening is one of my favorite skills so it's definitely something I will eventually get to. Hope that helps you for now though! :)
  • sosweetlysosweetly Posts: 47 Member
    Thank you for this post and the fantastic pictures!

    Question - are you running the game on high? It looks like you have a great PC and video card.

    So there are townies who don't actually live anywhere? Like Sims 2?

    Not sure if this is definitive but I spied this guy at the park and it reminded me that there was a female sim dressed similarly in one of the official live streams. Whichever guru it was did say it was a homeless sim. Did that answer your Q?

    @UtaDagda - Thank you :) And thanks for sharing your pictures! I haven't seen Epic so I'm not familiar with the characters but MK is very adorable.

    @zombieghostgirl - Glad it's not just me!! I should just learn usernames but I'm better with 'faces'.
    Always happy to help people :) Luckily the questions asked often help me out too! :P
