I decided to enable deaths on one of my challenge families that I'm finished with, just to experiment, and I got a notification that my elder Sim tried to conquer a mountain, but the mountain conquered her. So I guess she fell off the mountain while trying to climb it? Unfortunately, the rest of the household were kids,…
That would be awesome! One of my favorite spells in Sims 1's Makin' Magic expansion was the one where you could bring the gnomes from the woodworking table to life to help with your gardening. They could even get drunk in the nectar press, or go on a rampage if your Sims hired a gardener or used the perfect garden charm…
Yep. I canceled my pre-order since they hadn't charged me for it yet, and just bought it now. Rather irritated I bothered to pre-order, since it seems to have been pointless.
I don't know if I agree with you on that. Certainly, it's better (to me) than the modern, Ikea style furniture that has been done to death, imo. I'm so sick of it, I could scream. There are other furniture and decorating styles in this world, Sims team!
I think the llama was in large part added because it's the Sims mascot. And I'm sure people will at least be able to sell the wool, even if they don't have the knitting pack. The fact that you can use the wool for knitting if you have that pack is a nice bonus, though. Edited to add: I just saw the speculation about using…
I agree. The emotions system seems like a good idea conceptually, but I feel its current execution is lacking. I remember in one of the surveys they did in the past year or so, I specifically pointed out that I actually would rather return to the old personality point system where my sims' actions were actually controlled…
Ugh, they really were stupid enough to go there? Someone take the Sims 4 out back and put it out of its misery already. Every time I think they can't sink lower or do worse, they manage to exceed my expectations.
Speaking of knitting vampires, there is actually a mystery series called the Vampire Knitting Club. They're really good, if you want to check them out. I intend to make my own Vampire Knitting Club in the game with the vamps from Forgotten Hollow.
I got the marriage phone call recently, but my Sim had terrible luck and kept finding noncommittal Sims or having bad dates that tanked the relationship score. :D Needless to say, she didn't get married in time.
I've been playing since Sims 1, back in 2000. I have over 3,000 hours on Sims 4. I can't get the exact number right now, because my daughter is playing Sims 3 while I cook supper.
I haven't seen any of these messages yet. For the people that are seeing them, do you have Eco Lifestyle installed? I'm wondering if it's more of those story progression-like phone calls you get with EL?
Malcolm Landgraab. Then I'll work to take over his criminal empire, fire him from it when I become the overlord, cut off access to his money, divorce him and kick him out of the mansion, and show him what a real evil crime overlords looks like... All while he watches on, writhing in homeless, broke misery!
No, I'm afraid they aren't. I think the 20th anniversary fiasco showed that quite clearly. The only Simmers that matter to them these days are the young kids they're so painfully trying to appeal to. Never mind the fact that it's us older, long-time Simmers that have the disposable cash to spend on their product.
Cassandra Goth and Johnny Zest. I had an entirely different romance planned for Cassandra, but she and Johnny kept running into each other at places, due to their showbiz careers, and they hit it off so well, I let them get married. However, Cassandra came into magic that she didn't know ran in her family, after marriage…
I ranked children first, because I think there's still so much that could be added to them for gameplay, and babies second. Young adults I ranked dead last. We've gotten plenty for them over the years.
Reasoning? I suppose it's because I'm old, and I do a lot of writing in my line of work, and I think the words we use to express ourselves still have meaning beyond the surface level. Stupid just seems unnecessarily inflammatory, that's all. Also, consider that not everybody is so great at separating having their opinion…
You're absolutely right. You didn't call people stupid, at least not directly. You just told them their opinion is stupid. You didn't say you were confused by it, you called it stupid. That's a word that's meant to insult and demean, particularly in the context of someone's intelligence. And in using the word "stupid" to…
Opinion: stop telling people they're stupid for feeling a certain way. People can feel however they want about whatever they want. As long they aren't harassing or otherwise mistreating others due to those feelings, i.e. the developers, what business is it of yours or anyone else's?
Yup. I received both of those for the 20th anniversary. And my negative feelings towards them is costing them sales. I was going to have my husband get me a couple packs for Valentine's Day, but plum that. I'll go with other items. I have no desire to play this game anytime soon. I'll spend my time and money elsewhere,…
Honestly, they drove me to play another game last night. I'd planned on having a Sims Deathfest in all my games last night, killing off Sims in a night of celebratory mayhem, as I've been playing and killing Sims since Sims 1. I tried, I tried really hard, but the entire mess with the regifted and edited hot tub left such…
Not if you already paid for said hot tub in Perfect Patio. :/ They added a roof, big woo. You can already do that yourself and have pretty much the same object.
I don't think much has changed in that department. :D I've always wished the energy boost from tea and coffee were greater, so that it felt more worthwhile for the trade-off of having to pee so much. It really hasn't ever been that beneficial, sadly. That being said, I do sometimes use the tea and coffee makers in my Sims'…
