@GalacticGal Oh no! Actually that sounds like the kinds of troubles real-life celebs have sometimes. There are big advantages to being nobodies, even in the Sims :)
I’ve got it set to Long but I see that as the maximum lifespan. I still want to age up my sims when I feel they’re ready and have achieved all I wanted to do with them. I previously had ageing turned off with the same aim in mind, but found that I just didn’t age anybody up at all and I could drift for sim weeks without…
The maximum number of played sims on my computer is 80 and I have now exceeded this number. I tried setting the limit higher but it did affect performance. There were other reasons too why I split them into separate saves, and I'm happy with the results.
There are so many different ways to play rotationally, depending on your personality and how you like to play. I think playing your way @Lenny_Ogg would stress me out :) I’d worry that I wasn’t spending time with my other families and that I was missing out on things or getting behind. So I play a household strictly for a…
Despite lots of things not going quite to plan, Kaori and Adolfo had a beautiful Tartosan wedding. (It was my first wedding using MWS. Some of the things that went wrong were my fault as I hadn't done a trial run beforehand. Other things just didn't work as they should, e.g. the groom had the wrong suit on... But I still…
@SelinaKyles I was thinking of relatives but actually I’ve never had anyone ask to stay over, so I don’t really mind who it is — I’d just like someone to do it! I saw others mention about the researching genealogy so I’ve been getting all my sim households to do that but with no results so far. Maybe I haven’t played long…
My guess is that as well as having a GP early on next year (first roadmap), we’ll still get an EP as well at some point during the year. That’s based on my theory that the three EPs this year are catching up on a backlog, in which case next year should feel kind of ‘normal’ (so at least one GP, at least one EP, at least…
@SimAlexandria OK, so playing multiple households and in different worlds doesn’t seem to prevent it happening, which is good to know! Guess I’ll just have to keep waiting…
I’m pretty sure they’ll be back next year. I might be wrong of course, but I’ve wondered if the 3 EPs this year is a kind of recovery post-lockdown/catch-up, given that they work on EPs for years and there have been a few very light roadmaps since covid. As we’re getting 3 EPs this year we don’t need a GP as well, so my…
@LeucosiaX I think this was the first time I got a skeleton and it made me laugh out loud to hear her walk about (with bones clicking) and see her stop from time to time to readjust her joints :D It's a pretty good blessing too - her needs stayed completely full for about 12 hours! I'm still nervous of something really bad…
I don’t know which life stage is my favourite. I do spend longest with my sims as young adults as there’s so much more for them to do at that stage. But I absolutely love the infant and toddler stages, even though they’re shorter, and teens have been made more interesting with HSY. My least favourite stage is definitely…
@SelinaKyles Glad it’s happened for you! This gives me hope for my game :) @SimAlexandria That’s interesting. I wonder if a particular style of gameplay makes it more likely. Do you play with one household or several? If you play multiple households, how long do you stay with them? Do you play in different worlds? I play…
OK, so it seems it’s a really rare thing, so maybe my experience isn’t that unusual. Does anyone know if you can get these calls in any world, or do these long-lost relatives only phone up in San Sequoia? @Simmerville I think the NPC you mean is Kyle. I’ve seen him around, in San Sequoia and other worlds, but he’s never…
It's not actually that complicated: yes I would really like to get it, but not immediately, and I might not wait for a sale. I really like the new appliances.
Yes, Thailand would be really exciting! I’d love another Asian-inspired world. ETA: if it's Thailand and the elephant teapot is a hint, would there be elephants in the world? That would be amazing!
I just thought how funny (but actually quite appropriate) it would be if the title of the new EP was what is written right all over the roadmap in capitals: Get Busy! OK, I think it's time for me to stop over-analysing the wording of this. :)
I know it doesn't seem to fit with the whole neighbourly thing, but I'm curious as to why they chose this wording with so much emphasis on sound and noise. They didn't have to use 'tune' at all in this context, and they didn't have to then repeat the word and add 'noise'. Maybe I'm wrong and overthinking it, but I don't…
