I can see me getting plenty of use from that smoke machine. Although I wish we could get a bunch of spooky/creepy effects for our game, just like the pond effects. But the smoke machine sized down and hidden inside a bush will do the trick. The retro stereo system and disco ball are also a fun addition. The city/urban…

I agree. The packs aren't the problem (this pack looks great and has some fun gameplay). The problem is the quality control department (and its lackthereof). And that's a real shame because it sours these lovely new packs for everyone. Is it because of crazy spaghetti code at this point (75 packs later)? Perhaps. But…

Saw this comment on a youtube video and it cracked me up so much, I just had to share: 99 glitches and bugs in the code 99 glitches and bugs Take one down Patch it around 134 glitches and bugs in the code :D :'( :D I laughed, I cried, I laughed again.

Simply put: I don't feel spammed... I feel insulted. I didn't pay $1200 for a video game to now (10 years later) start getting bombarded with predatory advertising tactics like a $10 F2P mobile game. I want the invasive grift-y button gone from inside of my gameplay's UI.... flashing or not flashing. Either move it to the…

My plan for this pack.... Is to hold off on buying this pack (and any other packs) until after Electronic Arts releases their 4th (and final) quarterly report on March 31, 2024 (which is also their fiscal year end). After March 31st, I'll reassess the situation and decide whether or not I want to open my wallet once again.…

One more post in this thread, and then I'm done with all this drama. I just want to throw out some 'food for thought' spaghetti to see if maybe this will stick to EA's wall? Marketing 101 If you want to sell your product: a) Ensure your product is the best quality it can be. b) All parts function as advertised. c)…
-
I guess it was a blessing in disguise that I didn't get the chance to update my game today. Think I'll wait this one out.
-
Ugh, yet even more in-your-face marketing tactics (read: greasy used car salesmen). Pardon me while I go take a shower to wash off the 'ick' factor. Welp, that's it then folks. One of the last few havens we had left where we could still enjoy a bit of peaceful escapism to shut out all the mentally draining noise has now…

It really depends on what I'm building... Residential homes tend to be well lit with a combination of light fixtures in each room and outside. Retail shops will usually get lots of lighting, museums and libraries will get mood lighting and spot lights on certain things. Fantasy, sci-fi, historical builds get mood lighting…

*blows the dust off of the ol' fiddle* Pardon my fiddling, I'm a bit rusty.... The last time I screeched the ol' horsehairs across the bridge, cavemen where just learning how to start fire. :D

Couldn't have said it better myself! You just described all other forms of social media perfectly.... it's why these types of so-called 'old fashioned' forums still continue to feel more connective, personal, cozy and home-y. Our forum may be old and rusty (as are some of its denizens :D ), but it's still the best way to…

Ah okay. Yup, it looks like there's only one type/colour of crystal tree that will supply different crystals? Oh well, that one style will still look beautiful at night... all glowy and mystical. :)
-
I also love @Gordy 's idea about a crystal tree forest. I wonder if the crystal trees will come in different colour swatches depending on the type of crystal it grows? If so, it might be fun to make an enchanted crystal tree forest (national park) with glowy mushrooms, plasma trees, mandrake plants, ponds with rare fish,…
-
I think I'm finally going to make a mystical/magical retail shop selling crystals/collectables, jewellery, brooms, potions, candles, herbal remedies, etc. In the basement is where I'll set up all the necessary work stations (jewellery, candle making, cauldron, etc) and behind the shop will be crystal trees and other…

I finally got a chance to watch the trailer today.... Yes yes yes! Love all the bb/cas items, especially that workbench. They really did their homework with all the bench tools: hammering, soldering, pendant rotary tool, bench pin, vise, etc etc. Love it! The only thing I question: Why is a sim standing at the workbench?…
-
Yay! Trailer day tomorrow. :smiley: That'll be great if we can make jewellery from our collections and then choose to either sell the items or maybe keep them for CAS too? That would be awesome. One of my hobbies in real life is silversmithing... working with silver and copper, semi-precious and natural stones to make…

I'm stuck with being AncientMuse2 on both the gallery and AHQ, as has been the case all these years. I worry that my fellow forum simmers won't know it's really me..... *heavy sigh*
-
Interesting how a Maxis official build (Winnie's house) has a pretend garage attached.... *cough*
-
Me in a nutshell: Creative - I have roughly one bajillion different types of hobbies/crafts on the go at any given time. Loner - Luckily my hubby also has this trait, so we get to enjoy being loners together. :D Neat - "A place for everything, and everything in its place." Geek - Obsessively obsessed with everything sci-fi…

Ohhh bother..... I'm going to miss the easy format and layout of this forum. I hope the new one is just as user friendly and familiar enough to easily and comfortably navigate for us old dinosaurs. *heavy sigh*

Went into my game yesterday and the welcome message at the top of the main page was: "Meep meep, AncientMuse2!" :o I've never seen that message before....? Has anyone else ever noticed this? Not to get people's hopes up too much but..... surely that must be a hint cars really are coming this year?

Around 21 years ago, my 11 year old daughter came home from school with a Sims 1 disc that one of her friends let her borrow for a while. The two of us sat down in front of her computer and I watched her play with utter fascination. We couldn't stop giggling the whole time.... And the rest, as they say, is history. Happy…

Before installing For Rent ep: under 2 minutes After installing For Rent ep: under 5 minutes A noticeable difference of 3 minutes, unfortunately. But it's still waaaaaaaay better than the loading times of Sims 2 and 3..... :D Back in the day: Start up Sims 3, go to kitchen and put on a fresh pot of coffee, make some snacks…
-
I've pretty much washed my hands of this EP for now. I jumped at buying the pack with the excitement of building and playing in multi-family lots. During those first couple of days, I set up a shiny new save (mod and cc free) and renovated two premade lots in Tomarang. Then I set up a new tenant family in one of the…

Which is more important to you: The way your sims look? (Goth kit) or The way your sims' homes look? (Castle kit) For me, the answer is an easy one.... castle kit first, then the goth kit. For you though, the answer might be the other way around. :)
-
Something else I just thought of that desperately needs to be remedied in the game: Shiftable mirrors There's nothing more frustrating than not being able to use at least 50-70% of the mirrors in the game because they sit way too high on the walls (and look ridiculous) and can't be shifted down to a lower, more practical…
-
I haven't played with any of the rental features and don't plan on it until we get confirmation all the game breaking issues have been fully resolved. But I took the survey anyways and gave my feedback... it's important they see the impact of what these bugs/glitches do to their players' gaming experiences. Meanwhile, I…

Thanks for the links! I have a tough time trying to navigate my way around the Answers EA forum, I don't find it very user friendly and can never seem to find what I'm looking for. I just submitted the word(s) "cacti casa" in that Gallery Profanity Filter feedback form link you provided. A very handy dandy link to have on…

Things I've been desperately wanting in the game since forever: - Improve on the BB catalogue search function: currently, you have to try to memorize the exact names of things (because their names have absolutely nothing to do with what they actually are) or you'll get no results (or the wrong results). No search results…
Howdy, Stranger!
