Attention to detail. All those little moments where Maxis added little quirks to the Sims, or chances for them to do something unexpected. The Sims 4 is too straightforward--you get your Sim to do something, and you'll get exactly what you expect, with no deviation, leading to all Sims feeling the same. Aspiration failure.…
Yeah, because it's not like real wolves can hunt Those animalistic... animals... sure can't do something as rational as think "me hungry, me find meat" You and I clearly have different ideas of what it means to be a werewolf. And that's one of the weaknesses of this pack--in the Vampires GP, we could design our vampires to…
Such as? I can.........eat...........furniture............ or dig holes, I sure But what objects can I interact with? What socials do I unlock with pets or livestock? How many times can I do a vicious howl before I say "to hell with it, I'll just unlock transformation mastery" I can't hunt while rampaging, or even lead…
A way to make farming less time-consuming. My god, if you have more than one animal and some crops, you can kiss your social life goodbye. Just in my last in-game day, my Sim got up at 3am, and wasn't done until 7pm that night. Cows, chickens and llamas should all be able to graze. I've had chickens IRL, they dig up your…
It would be nice if there was a Heartbroken emotion, separate from the normal Sad emotion, that way Sims COULD die of a broken heart without making every Sad Sim at risk of death (the ghosts could autonomously try to seek out romance, the way angry ghosts pick fights and break stuff). A broken heart isn't something that…
I'm being blunt, there's a difference I haven't criticized you or your tastes, I've simply pointed out that you're a fan of a level of unrealistic gameplay that would understandably put you at odds with the introduction of additional realism. How you choose to interpret that has nothing to do with me.
By that logic, why even have preferences at all? Also you're the only fan of dust bunnies I've ever seen, so frankly I don't think a thread about realistic play is something you're gonna get much out of.
I mean that's to be expected, it took DerShayan 2 months to make a map for Eco Lifestyle, and there's been NO maps for Journey to Batuu or Snowy Escape. DerShayan's fanart maps are well and truly abandonware.
Okay, so what do those moodlets do? What is so valuable about your Sim becoming Inspired, really? Oh, they can paint a little faster, but who cares about a base game skill? I haven't touched painting in about 5 years because it's been absolutely done to death. It used to be that the different moods would be useful for…
You could have a Sim that dislikes cats, and prefers dogs (or vice-versa), which you can't currently do. You could have a Sim who, as I said in my OP, likes chickens but doesn't like foxes. Currently an Animal Enthusiast loves chickens and foxes equally, which is absurd. Why would you like foxes if they eat your chickens?…
Yeah, it is really hard. I think it's partly because they all add like +1 or +2 to any given emotion, and they all tend to last for a couple of hours, so they're all equally powerful. If Maxis made negative emotions a bit more meaningful (throw in a +3 every now and then!) I think the added asymmetry would make emotional…
In regards to your last point, I imagine if we get new likes/dislikes, they'll bump up the limit. We can have 20 right now, maybe they'd go to 25 or 30, depending on how many they add. That's what I'd do, anyway.
There are plenty of open world games that don't have anywhere near the level of bugs The Sims 3 had. I didn't buy the "open worlds are buggy" excuse in 2006 when I played Oblivion, I didn't buy it in 2009 when I played The Sims 3, and I don't buy it in 2021.
Okay, but those emotions don't do anything particularly worthwhile, beyond minor skill boosts and reskinned interaction names. If they're gonna add new moodlets, they really need to make the emotions more useful, first, IMO.
Groan. I'm lactose intolerant too. You don't speak for all of us. The gameplay offered by the Lactose Intolerant trait is exactly how I live my life: eat cheese, darn the consequences. Stop being so sensitive, it's not that big of a deal.
You can merge households in CAS with a Sim from the gallery that has the shirts. Then just delete that Sim. You'll probably find that a number of your townies (including played households) have the shirts, too, as townies would autonomously change into Festival t-shirts, but that would cause them to replace their existing…
It would be great if it was a "memories" scrapbook, as the current memory system is needlessly obtuse to find, and when you do it's.............. bad. But I think it's just a stove. Probably a family cookbook, which feels pointless to me. Just click on a real stove, and you'll see all the recipes you have. tbh I don't know…
