This is why I wonder whether it may be a bug rather than by design. It's frustrating because I'm playing a legacy and want to play without cheats. If the life stages weren't meant to be increased in length, then playing with them as they are feels like cheating. But if they are now meant to be longer, I don't want to make…
@luthienrising is this intentional though? Or is it a glitch? You'd have thought that if it were intentional it'd have been mentioned somewhere in the patch notes but there's nothing about it there. It isn't just the teen lifestage which has changed either. The young adult and adult life stages are now also longer (young…
Nope. Young adult and adult also changed. On normal lifespan, the teen lifestage is now 21 days long (it used to be1 3). The young adult and adult life stages are now also longer (young adult has gone from 21 days to 24 days and adult has gone from 24 days to 33 days.
@LadyKyn Ohhh you know what I've just realised? My sims all have their phones on silent! That may be why I'm not getting the invites! I will unsilence them and see if it makes a difference.
Ok I just checked and actually the YA and adult life stages have increased (toddler and child are still the same - tot remains at 7 days and child remains at 13 days). YA used to be 21 days long but is now 24 days long. Adult used to be 24 days long and is now 33 days... I wonder if all of these increases are intentional…
@LadyKyn thank you for answering. Do you get a popup when a sim invites you to a party? Of is it just a notification? Maybe I'm missing the notifications. Is it only friends who will invite you to parties or also acquaintances? Perhaps my sims don't have enough friends.
@alexspoom13 @aktex @GalacticGal @LadyKyn do you have MCCC? I know it was blocking the prom event from occurring so I am wondering if it is blocking party invites for me (yes I have updated it).
@somewhsome I might have been wrong in saying that the other lifestages haven't changed. I thought they hadn't but I'll need to double check, I was mostly focused on my teens.
@Gorand THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! You were right, I checked through all of his relationships and there was one which was labelled 'rival' in her profile. I had previously assumed that making enemies with a football teammate would do, didn't realise there would immediately be a sim explicitly labelled as his rival.
I actually put mccc back in and my sims are still getting followers now so I think maybe it wasn't a mod issue. Maybe you just need to be on social bunny for a certain amount of time before getting any followers.
How long *should* the teen lifestage now be on normal lifespan? Because on normal lifespan the teen lifestage is now 21 days long (it used to be 13). Is this an intentional increase or a glitch?
Aww thank you! I dunno it might be fun to raise your own simself from toddlerhood onwards! I feel as though that's the basis of some kind of challenge ;)
@RedDestiny92 so do you get a notification saying that your sim has a rival? Do they have a 'rival' sentiment towards that sim or something? Is your sim's rival also a member of the cheerleading afterschool activity?
Oh my goodness your OP just prompted me to check and my NINTH forum 'birthday' is coming up in August :o but anyway happy third anniversary! I love your simself. I'll download her next time I'm online :)
@RedDestiny92 I only have mccc which I'm was fully up to date. Just took it out and the 'have to enemy rival'task is still not thvked off on his aspiration. I am wondering if maybe the problem is that the sim he declared declared enemy is not a 'rival'? But what even makes a sim a 'rival'? I assumed that being in the same…
@Bonxie Just wanted to report that in my game MCCC seems to be stopping my sims from getting followers on social bunny. Been playing for about a week in sim time and none of my sims could get any followers at all despite posting, adding friends, tagging sims etc. MCCC is my only mod and was fully up to date (yes I…
@MVWdeZT @RedDestiny92 @somewhsome do you have MCCC? That's my only mod so I'm wondering whether it could be the issue (though it is fully up to date to the latest hotpatch)
