    No more woooooooooooooorlds

    I love playing in new worlds. I want something from the African region before they stop making world's. It's sad that some feel we have to sacrifice that for more content, when Horse Ranch couldn't even animate a rocking horse for children or bring the mechanical bull back. Something is amiss with gameplay but I don't think new world's is the reason we aren't getting enough animated objects. I suppose they would have to come up with more content to justify an expansion pack price if they did release another expansion without a world though. I do feel they tend to shy away from animating objects that could cause a bunch of game breaking bugs. They've release kits that I wish some of the objects were animated.

    I don't want a heartbreak death. I guess I'll need another mod for that too if I get this.

    I don’t understand the not sharing location bit. Would that be Sims from the gallery you download or just townies not assigned to a world? Or an option you select as in ‘prefer not to say’? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

    The whole gallery idea is confusing me as I, assuming you need to be online for it to work? Or can you download Sims then go offline and those Sims are available for selecting? Can you choose which townies get selected or is all? 🤔

    I assumed the 'location not shared' is the default text for sims not in the world.

    My theory is that heartbreak will have a moodlet with a countdown, like most "deadly" things in the game. We'll probably be able to have two incidents "safely" before the chance of death comes up. Kind of like how being poisoned works in Jungle Aventure. First tier, second tier, and then if your Sim doesn't "shake it off", they risk death. Not exactly the same, but similar. All deaths in the Sims have some kind of warning first. I find it's very rare for a Sim to die organically from anything except old age, at least in my game.

    With all due respect, I can't really think of how to ask this without it sounding like I am being mean when that isn't my intention, what is fun about playing in a dead world exactly? Yeah I think the background scenery is a nice touch when playing, and having more lots is a plus in my book, but there is literally nothing to do in the worlds. I have lots dedicated to being children parks, recreational parks, walking parks, carnivals, water parks, and more b.c the EA worlds/parks don't offer much and I can't add to them so I just have them recreated on lot so my sims can do more than just walk around and sit on a bench all day.

    Is this a joke? How can this even be a real expansion pack? $40.00 for some romantic interactions? This is not a full EP. This could've EASILY been a game pack.I think this is EA's way of trying to make a PG form of a very popular mod (dunno if I can post the name of it). There are mods where you can get this EP basically for free already. This is the first time that I will not be buying an EP, in all of the time I've been playing sims. That includes sims 1,2,3 and 4. I've been playing since 2001. I cannot describe how unbelievably disappointed I am. Please give is fairies.

    I have this EP in a mod already so I probably will not invest unless there's new concrete gameplay that promotes the new world and sims activities within the new world. An example of new gameplay would be a new water sport like surfing if there's a beach, or volleyball.

    Mods are not available for all platforms. This is why I respect the vanilla player. I personally can not play this game right out of the box without dressing it up to my liking.

    I hope we get fairies too. Honestly I'm not that impressed with the occult life in sims 4. I think 2 and 3 did a better job with vampires. I played 1-4 as well.

    Edit: if I did invest it would only be for buy/build and a city by the sea with a big beach.

    @logion nice hawk eyes!

    Off topic, but so are some other comment in here. :)

    I strongly disagree on that. In 2 there is simply nothing to do with them. And without mods Grand Vampires, after bitten once, will bite and turn other sims on their own at background of downtown communitylots, even your other playable families. :) But sure, of course we all have our opinions , and should have :)

    On topic: My worry is how often some of these new things happen... like that dancing what looked like Rumbasim.. is it like the dance from Horse Ranch what was literally everywhere :s

    I think you answered your own question with why people would want different worlds. I love the new scenery especially when my sims go jogging around. I wish they could go for a simple walk and tour the city too but I have felt like you when you say you want more to do in the worlds. I just feel like new world's shouldn't come at the expense of other features like having new animated object's. They have given us the same playground equipment for the community park areas, when they could have added a slide, a seesaw or a spinner/merry-go-round. They could even add outdoor workout equipment on hiking trails. As disappointed as I was that we didn't get a rocking horse for the children in Horse Ranch. I said Chestnut Ridge was the world I didn't know I needed. I was able to move my cowboys from Oasis Spring to Chestnut Ridge. So, sometimes having new worlds fit your sims style.

    Over these 10 years there have also not really been much development in giving us reasons to walk around in the worlds either. You could put my sim in a beautiful looking world in the game... they are still not gonna have much to do if all that they can do is go to a food stand, look at a sim or an object, go to a rabbit hole, look for flowers or minerals or visit a fishing spot.

    It doesn't feel like those resources spent are worth it, like the tiger sanctuary in for rent, which probably took a while to make and it's just a rabbit hole that you have to walk all over to in order to visit it. Or the horse competition building in horse ranch, just... why? It's just a rabbit hole?

    All these worlds should have come with unique things to do, and also many more different new lots for us to play with. I thought that was the point of the game. Let us build our own tiger sanctuary or horse competition lot. You don't have to make them terribly advanced if you are worried about budget. Just make something... different.

    For example the botanical garden in for rent, make a variant of the park lot where you can place down plants and have sims visit the lot to go look at them, you could grow your own unique plants and place them there. That's simple, different and I can't imagine would have cost a lot to make. It let's us play with the lot and with the features of the game.

    I can't customize or play, with a rabbit.hole.

    @logion My thoughts exactly! At least I can build over a rabbit.hole. or hide one in a playable lot in sims 3.

    This is why we desperately need a world editing tool, even if it's limited. I can't stand the static worlds containing nothing but bbqs, benches and playgrounds. Since there's a Tool mod, I don't see why they can't incorporate something similar for players to use in our games. Let. Us. Customize!

    I would be pleasantly surprised if kids aren't overlooked in this theme pack but I want them to be able to play hand clapping games like Down by the banks of the Hanky Panky, The M.A.S.H game, Paper Fortune Teller Origami or something together. I just feel games like that would fit the theme of the romantic pack. That's why I'm mentioning it. Kid's were able to play Miss Mary Mack in the Sims 2 together. I would love to see kids playing some of those games autonomously outside, so when your sims are walking down the street, they could notice the children playing. I know they say kids don't play outside anymore but I would love to see more fun social interaction between children.

    Ohhh, that would be so cute if the pack actually include some kind of crush between kids! Girl next door comes over while young Sam is in the garden. Walks up to him, and before he has a chance to escape ske kisses him. And poor Sam screams in shock and runs inside to hide. There could be a less-serious romantic relation thing between children. I'd love that, and it would even make it easier for them to find a first love interest when becoming a teenager. So many of us had their first kiss with a childhood pal. Not like my adult Duchess, who had 4 kids and the other night kissed her Duke for the very first time...

    I liked the trailer, but like others I think the pack will offer more than the trailer story shows. For instance the four different relation dynamics, how will they play out in the game by free will? I think there are some mechanics in here that will actually change our games, but that we need to wait for the play through stream to learn more about.

    About the wish for motels, I assume the room we saw in the trailer, used by the two guys, is the room we can rent to get some sleep or to bring a woohoo partner. This might very well be a slightly bigger box than the GT dresser room, and if it is an object, we will be able to build a motel in any world, adding such boxes for motel rooms. They might be rabbit hole rooms, but we can build hotel facilities in the common area. With this we will have a sort of hotel function in our games :) Hopefully the rentable room object comes in a cheap low quality version and a guaranteed better quality version. Low/high quality could affect your sleep as well as the woohoo effects - and of course the bill.

    One thing I missed seeing this far is couples walking hand in hand. Such a feature shhould have been included in the trailer, the couple walks more than once, so maybe we will not get it? If so, I will not understand why...

    Am I the only one who noticed we we already chocolate cover strawberries in the game with luxury party?
    Is it that hard to make an animation with something else?
    It's a full price expansion pack. The closet woo hoo too.

    I don't really mind the closet woohoo bit, cos it's basically still a closet. I was pretty miffed when they used the same closet animation for shower woohoo though. I didn't know we have chocolate covered strawberries already... can sims feed each other?

    @elanorbreton no they can't feed each other with it and it usually takes two bites. if you have luxury party try the chocolate on the fondue tier.
    I wouldn't mind if it was not presented as the few "new" features to this pack.

    I couldn't find any chocolate strawberries... but there is a romantic interaction where one sim can feed the other sim sitting next to them with a piece of food of what they are eating, (it can be tricky to get the interaction to show up) but it's not really the same animation, in the trailer they appear to feed each other with a box that they are holding in their hands.

    But I agree regarding the closet wohoo animation... that looked pretty much the same as the animation that we have seen before.

    When I was a kid , I sure had a crush to a boy in my class. Might of been different boy in next year :D

    Naturally it was just little puppy-love, or puppy - crush more likely, and one sided, as naturally it was my secret :smiley:

    But totally natural, nothing to vomit about. EDITED TO CLARIFY: only talking about myself here :)

    On topic again: I hope not all sims in save are automatically added to dating app :/
