Hmm.... Phones jolt me out of any kind of historical saves, or when you take all your carefully hoarded Dragon Age Inquisition CC on your sim and strand them all on the Island in Windenburg only to see all of them happily texting away. For me it feels like a constant reminder that my way of playing the sims is wrong. I…
Jupp. I'm on the werewolf-patch before the phone-madness. No way no how am I going to introduce that into my game without an option to turn it off. It would be so much easier to update the game if there was a way to toggle the phone off.
Today I have been hunting bugs. Not the fun version in Granite Falls, there is something lurking in my Mods-folder. Splitting things in halves and trying to find it. Part of the mod-experience.
I have added a few mods that made kids feel better to me at least. The don't do homework or take away laundry unless you tell them to. They feel less like mini-adults when they don't do all the cleaning without parental input.
Yeah... I did not update my game for the High School expansion and I will not update it for kits either. A really good occult Game Pack would do the trick, or an exceptional Stuff Pack. We will see what happens, I am happy with the game I got at least.
Hmm...loner might make things difficult with the social aspirations. Having your sim being tense all the time because you have to be out in public to work on an aspiration might be irritating. Or it could be an interesting complication to work around, something to overcome. Depends on how you want to play it :)
Vampires is a great pack! If you decide to get it I recommend getting the vampire invasion fix since they were removed from the game. It adds a little bit of excitement. https://lotharihoe.tumblr.com/post/634515803637694464/bug-fixes-compilation-download-google-drive
Today I started up the game! You remember right after werewolves came out and there was a patch that introduced new phone-idles and there was no way to go online without getting it, there was no way to play offline. I logged off and haven't played since. Today I started up Origin and now I could go online and update Origin…
Hmm…. The MMO part of the game is of no interest for me because being able to play offline and keeping Sims 4 offline while updating Origin is essential for my enjoyment of the game. I am not interested in MMO for the sims and I could stay happy playing Sims 4 for the future. I want to tell my own stories my way, this is…
I do not remember I have answered earlier. Now that I have updated my game to the werewolf-patch and have seen the new Goth-family I must say that I much prefer the new version and I am glad that they were updated. Earlier I only had pictures of the newer versions.
Oasis Springs - there is almost no shell buildings so I have saves in which I make it into a Star Wars world. Other times I make it into medieval times.
I am trying to understand how this works as well. Have no information to offer since I am still in the Werewolf-patch but I find it interesting to read about. Hope you will get some insight into this.
@Mr_MuffinTop It is my understanding that sims can ask you to prom, you can chose to accept or decline and it would have consequences. If you teen has many friends and you live on a long lifespan that could be distracting on week 8. I do not really understand how this pack work with long lifespan’s yet but from the looks…
There are some good things that I would like to do with HSY but how it runs over the calendar will not work for me. Also, how do I make it occult? How would I have a occult or stranger vibe on my save. With Uni I could at least set the student house to only accept occult students but unless I mod the game I will only have…
I am plaing CAS-Batuu at the moment. I get to my computer so late in the evening that I only have time for a little bit of CAS so right now I am creating townies for my new Star Wars-save. This will be my main sim, genius and slob, not sure about the third trait. Looking forward to having actual gameplay sometime soon.
Hmm… I welcome being able to set my gay sims as being attracted to males, lesbian sims attracted to women, straight sims attracted to women or men. Mostly I just see who the sims has a good chemistry with, man or woman. Have plenty of gay, lesbian and straight families in my saves. No, my issue is with the…
First the phone was a way to keep work, traveling and things organized, which is why it is mandatory. Now more and more things are added to it and since they are mandatory there is no way to opt out. Now they are adding idle animations, which are impossible to opt out off and with occult sims it is very noticeable. Or…
@PrincessrozeeS Hmm…. stop what? I can see that you are very passionate but I do not understand what it is that you wish to stop? Personally I want to throw the sim’s phone under a bus but, so less mandatory tech idle-animations. That it would be easier to play historical saves. What is it that you do not like?
The thing that infuriates me is that there is no way to opt out of idle animations with tech. They decide how your sims is supposed to come to life. Contrast this with "exchange phone numbers" when your sim chooses to take up the phone and do something.
https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Who-asked-for-more-phone-use/m-p/11714156/highlight/true I am going to add my voice to this discussion over on EA feedback when I have screenshots to add. Have updated Sims 4 to the latest patch on y husband's computer but will not have time to play until next week.…
@GalacticGal Oh I am sorry that this EP is giving you such a hard time. I seem to remember you being really excited when it was first announced. You even made a flash save with Erik and his family in order to experience it. Hope the biggest bugs will get squished. Depth might be difficult to add after the pack shipped but…
Yeah. I micro-manage the households that do have neighborhood stories turned on as well. Accidental deaths are just turned on for some specific households, “move in” is ok but I seldom use “move out”.
- If a household has gotten a kid or two do you uncheck the “have a kid”-option? - Hmm… how many households have the “deadly accidents” checked? If you change the settings for what the game is allowed to do with an household, does that work? So far if I see that one sim died in a household and I remove the “deadly…
Yes! I agree, all sims become super-sims unless you use mods. Triplis has a mod that let’s lock a skill when you feel that your sim has gained enough knowledge. That way you can have a sim making dinner every day, humdrum lvl 3 all the time. Or a sim who lives karaoke and sings badly every Friday night. I highly recommend…
I was searching the Gallery for some good Batuu-builds and it was so much fun. Love that you can have a description like “Smuggler’s den complete with toddler-room”. Have a Tray with nothing but Batuu-builds, have so much CC for making good townies. I will make a Tray with the new townies so that next time I start a new…
