Bummer. They don't give us new packs, but they don't give us meaningful bugfixes either. Lose-lose situation.
Yeah. Was hoping they'd at least fix the bugged 'maintain a regular customer' bug from the self care specialist aspiration - or even (though at this point I am starting to suspect it'll be around forever) - the 'plants reverting to newly planted' bug... But nope
Did you manage the "hustle" task in the aspiration ? I didn't.
@alanmichael1 no - not the way you are meant to anyway. The hustle task is also bugged BUT it has a workaround. If you have your sim tend a massage chair and sell something worth 5,000 simoleons or more from their inventory at the same time, the hustle task ticks off (I sold one of those gold plates from JA).

Thanks, I will try a golden plate. It didn't work for me with a staple of shells .

I could not get the task to clear by selling an item worth $5000 from my inventory, but I was able to clear the task by having my Sim simultaneously tend a massage chair and a yard sell table with an item (I used a money fruit seed) priced at $5000. As soon as a sim bought the money fruit from the sell table, the "Hustle" task cleared.

Perhaps they mean this with "adding new dimensions" to the gameplay ? Thank you for the advice!
Okay so I played through the Love one and it's very lackluster... Don't continue reading if you want to avoid spoilers.
I had my "ex-couple" get back together and they got 5 000 satisfactions points at the end. Mind you they had to have their first kiss and first woohoo. Now why would an ex-couple not have even kissed before?
I wasn't expecting much but I was hoping for some in between things, you know like a "pop-up" quest like thing or whatever, even a phone call regarding the situation from someone they met or something. But nothing, they got back together like nothing, never having kissed or woohoo'd before
Also you can only play with two YA's or older (but you can add younger) in the starter household, and I understand that is for the game to know who has broken up, but that kinda sucks.
You can't have a family with say two YA siblings with one of them having broken up with a live in girl/ boyfriend and the then ex getting it on with their ex-partners sibling or whatever.
I give it a 1 out of 5, for the effort. I'm hoping for more though, since they have implied they will add more and as they get the hang of it I'm hoping it'll wow me even just a little bit with the creativity.
I'm gonna give the other outcomes a try and then try the money one but I'm not itching to play anytime soon.
None of them. These first two scenarios don't interest me at all, but maybe they'll get better? Who knows. I'm not going to be updating for at least a few days anyway until more broken mods reports come in.
I'm trying the money one, but basically playing it out black widow... and that's a way I play "rags to riches" now and then.
I like that you can go about it however you want, although I'm not sure if I can move my sim yet to another lot... I'm guessing so? I like loose and fairly unstructured challenges with plenty of wiggle room ,so yeah, just a slightly different way to approach my gameplay. I'm just trying to get her to million as fast as she can seduce her way to it.
Personally I'd like to see more scenario possibilities... the split couple one doesn't really interest me but I might try it out just to see after I'm done with this one.
Okay, this is super weird. I just did the update, opened my Sims 4 game, clicked on the new 'scenario' tab, and I had about 6 or more scenario to choose from instead of JUST 2... I didn't get a screenshot and I am so mad at myself!!! One of the scenarios I saw was called 'Surviving the Holidays'

Yeah a few people got that in there game and took a screenshot

That sounds so cool. Seems like they are workingon way more at this time which is great. What a weird glitch that it would reveal that.
https://simscommunity.info/2021/11/02/preview-of-the-3-upcoming-scenarios-for-the-sims-4/ This link shows some of the ones I had in my game for like 5 mins.
I've updated the game but no sign of the scenario button for me, but a pop up saying the scenarios appeared for me. I have repaired the game and checked to make sure it has been updated on Origin. Weird.
I am having a similar issue but I do have mods and it has to be one those conflicting. What mods do you have? My issue is that I click "scenarios" button and it does nothing.
You may already figured it out but it was TOOL by Twistedmexi giving me this error. I removed it for now and the scenario button is working.
I have not played these scenarios yet but from looking at them as a just-launched brand new thing my impression is why release only two and not a bigger range for sampling?
I thought the Rags to riches one was unfinished in the preview and then it launched like that. Where are the rest of the guidelines or goals? Do they show up as you play or is it freeform and a simple one goal: To simply make a million simoleans?
Also, why was after a breakup added to the romance one? That's oddly specific.
It would be cool if players could make their own and/or customize these scenarios.
I would also like to put in a request to not do limited time only ones because if, for whatever reason, you can't play in the set time you miss out on them and that's never fun.
Since the new patch update that was automatically downloaded when I started up my game this evening, I can't seem to access Sulani? I created a new save to try out these scenarios and tried to move my save there but it wasn't allowing me to click. Is anyone else having this issue?

I agree, I thought that was the actual idea of them was so that we'd get to create our own instead of having them ready made for us. I'm surprised that there's only two available as well.
I'm not particularly interested in the scenarios, but I am glad that plants appear to be getting more valuable...since most of the time I'm using them to get the second rank of the Mansion Baron aspiration and have to spam like 30 of them onto the lot. My lots tend not to have a lot of objects on them because "she cannae handle the framerate, cap'n!"

Well that's cool @Zane_zeee !
I already sorta played "Too Many Toddlers" in my San Myshuno save when Raj Rasoya had 2 toddlers and an infant at once (all adopted), Raj's mother Geeta died, and then the infant aged up. It was fun. And challenging. Raj wouldn't have made it through without Nanny Brantley. I don't need to do it more than once.
Was a huge skeptic, but...
curiosity & overconfidence of being a know-it-all in all things Sims won out, so...
started Making Money & it's hilarious...
My materialistic, high maintenance family is so tense & keep trying to talk themselves down in the mirror. No one's got enough energy for activities, hobbies or even finding collectibles. Toilet's broken, meals are gross & they're fighting over the computer, tv or toilet. Grandpa moves about in a confused state of red & yellow moodlets. The dog's always hungry, keeps attacking visitors & almost ran away on Day 2. Dad's hot-headed & mad all the time. Mom's freaking out about Poseidon's kiss, a broken nail or a dirty countertop. And the poor kid's so overloaded w/ chores that his fun has dropped past the halfway point. Can't wait to finish out the sim week.
Household: adult mom & dad, child (son), elder (the father in law) & large dog.
*half of all traits & preferences conflict w/ 1 or more family members
* everyone hates basic furniture style
Lot: Sandtrap Flat - Oasis Springs w/ traits: Penny Pixies, Geothermal, Natural Well
*downgraded everything to the cheapest basic walls/floor/furnishings from Outdoor retreat, City living, Eco lifestyle
*removed unnecessary doors/windows/walls & all outdoor floor/plants
*used money for 1 laptop & a few activities; only 1 toy for child & 1 dog ball
Still prefer my original sandbox rotational gameplay style, but have found a way to make scenarios work for me.
And Yes I agree that more bugs need be fixed. Also, a lil concerned last night cause CAS was way laggy during scenario household setup. Took forever for hair styles to load.
Judging from the blurb about scenarios I feel/hope that Maxis are providing some snakes and ladders into these scenarios as they tell us to beware what we do. I would hope that if you press the motherlode button to become filthy rich in record time that you might lose all your money in a bank crash. That's what I would have done.
I might try one out choosing the wrong pathway in life to find out!
None. Established scenarios don't fit with my gameplay, and I have no interest in them. Same as I have no interest in Sims lore, townie back stories, or creating a Sim using story mode. It's just not my cup of tea.
Is it just me as well, or is anyone else's game now lagging something dreadful after the update? I've repaired the game, cleared out origin cache, did a factory reset (after backing up my save files), and it's still so, so laggy it's almost unplayable at times.
