  • Q1: Crosspack! I would be opposed to fame from knitting because it would be very intrusive on everyday hobby stories, but especially if you made teach to knit autonomous as you ask further down, that's just asking for a return of the fame plague. However, I would LOVE to see knitted objects included in Seasons gift giving…
  • My theory is this is related to the fishing update. There is a "fish trap" coming with Island Living that you place in water and wade to check on. It would be kinda sad if it only worked in Sulani, and since they completely overhauled fishing it makes since to allow wading in other worlds at fishing spots as well. I don't…
  • Uh, I think you are forgetting Newcrest. Newcrest was added later but it is free so technically base game players do have access. Newcrest is very suited for winter as it does have pine trees! Also while Willow Creek is based off Louisiana/New Orleans to a large extent, I don't think that means NO winter, I think it just…
  • I've never actually redone an entire save, but I frequently overhaul as I go. All of my saves are different but the first time I visit a lot in the save file I go into freebuild mode and fix it. The moment my sim starts to become attached to a townie, I haul them and their family into CASfulledit and fix them. Or if they…
  • TS3 camera has features that TS4 camera just doesn't have, or at least have all of the functionality of. Tab mode and free rotate of build objects being a fairly big deal to me, I never bothered to try to adjust to TS4 camera when it didn't include those features but the TS3 mode did.
  • This isn't a direct problem with death itself, but more how certain deaths affect the gamestate. I was hoping it would be fixed with the other death updates but sadly it still seems to be an issue. If you happen to be playing a household that contains an elder and dependents (babies, toddlers, pets) with no other "adult"…
  • I'm sad to say if you have a toddler or pet in the care of a single sim who dies - they are gone forever unless you exit without saving (which the game does let you do). It says the toddler is taken by sim social services and the dog will be adopted into another home, but this seems to just be to make you feel better about…
  • I can't say that is a feature I highly desire - could take it or leave it to be honest and there are several other things I would far rather have - but I would like some options for grittier game play. I agree having random curveballs thrown rather than playing pretend and eleaboratly orchestrating my own drama has appeal…
  • My understanding is that retail lots, restaurants and clinics STAY with the existing primary household rather than the one being split off. My understanding is that Restaurants lose their perk points when sold (not sure about stars) so to my knowledge The best way to transfer the clinic to the daughter with everything…
  • I don't know about any one else but I am totally vanilla. Never had any mods.
  • Yeah woohoo is NOT supposed to result in pregnancy EVER - however I suspect there is a slight possibility that certain traits might influence a sim to autonomously try for baby instead of autonomously woohoo - because I swear I have caught that happening for sims who are married with high romance at least once. I have also…
  • @SimGuruNeel Thank you for looking into it, and letting us know that you hear our concerns. It is appreciated. I think this thread makes it pretty clear we all have strong opinions on WHY we dress our sims in certain ways, and that we feel the outfits we choose are part of how we convey who they are to the world around…
  • I had a bug awhile back right after the nude outfit category got added with get together, where my sims wouldn't auto-clothe themselves after intentionally becoming nude, like skinning dipping, or changing into the nude outfit, and they would only put clothes back on if I told them to change outfits. I kind of found it…
  • The energized moodlet from singing karaoke poorly moodlet is hilarious it says "nailed it!" Lol
  • @lottevdbrug ah! That makes sense - I play completely vanilla, no mods or CC (even McCC), so the festivals were more of an issue as that fix wasn't an option for me. I don't hate mods, but they just seem like a lot of effort. I have considered MCCC before, maybe someday I will sit down and go through all the options and…
  • @Writin_Reg sorry for any confusion, I was NOT saying the TS3 store worlds were outsourced. I was saying I would not want TS4 worlds to be outsourced because of potential quality inconsistencies, and since the OP brought up the store worlds as a reason we had more worlds in TS3, I was stating my opinion that some of them…
  • Okay, I am like 90% with you OP, the problem is ... I DO care about the festivals. I use them a lot, and not only that, even when I didn't use them, once the message popped up that the festival was in town, I would start seeing sims in festival generated clothing wandering around the world. Oh, hanging out at the ruins in…
  • Okay, OBVIUSLY I would love to have more worlds....BUT I still voted maybe n your poll (and I suspect some of the no votes were for similar reasons), BECAUSE the poll appeared after your suggestion that they outsource the creation (oh and toss in a few build/buy mode mimic items). I am not down with a third party creating…
  • I think it's pretty balanced actually. Yeah cats have more physical "stuff", like litter boxes and cat trees, BUT the dogs have more interactions, like taking them on jogs/walks, bathing the dog, dogs can swim, etc. Which seems real, I mean cats tend to NEED boxes, whereas dogs tend to go outside, more dogs like swimming…
  • Hmmm, I wonder if the tagging got screwed up in the latest patch. There is also a "bacon and eggs" dish in addition to the "eggs and toast" maybe they got mixed up somehow?
  • On Pages 5 & 6 of this thread, simguru Nick explains the new culling and ghost things. Actually I think Luth updated the original post as well. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/16147889#Comment_16147889 Are you experiencing this with an old save? There must have been a lot of tombstones in your world - I…
  • Did you report it? @SimGuruNick @SimGuruArvin we seem to have a bug with one of the new wallpapers. I saw the bug happen in XurbansimsX vet build and Simproved tweeted about encountering it during her vet build as well.
  • I noticed Cassidy the Poodle who lived with the Del Gato family in the trailer and in all the sims camp footage is also missing and mysteriusly replaced by Blue the bulldog... I wonder if what the story is behind the missing pets - it's unusual for trailer stars linked with Townie households not to show up in the game. I…
  • They have said that they sometimes rotate who gets packs as they only have so many review copies. I noticed this time around a lot of smaller simmers got codes who hadn't before. They've also opened it up to content creators of all types, not just youtubers this time around. There have been times in the past LGR didn't get…
  • This is one of the better parts of the patch for me and it didn't even make the notes! (The other being roofs and that alien abductions are once again possible without cheating!) very excited that I know longer have to death watch sims like a vulture to have their tombstone!
  • Yep. Completely vanilla here and I am getting the bug. All my sims have the flirt with self in mirror option, but not all of them have the admire possession - so far just the non-materialistic husband of a materialistic sim is the only one for me, but I think he may have had the trait at some point in the past so this…
  • I edited my post, sorry! Here it is I didn't see a report on the bug forum so I created one, fell free to click "me too" to show how widespread it is: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Non-insane-amp-Non-materialistic-sims-have-trait-interactions/m-p/6408754#M49838
  • Yeah...this seems VERY important.
  • I am as well. Have you checked the AHQ bug forum? * edit * : I didn't see a report on the bug forum so I created one, fell free to click "me too" to show how widespread it is: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Non-insane-amp-Non-materialistic-sims-have-trait-interactions/m-p/6408754#M49838
  • Thank you @SimGuruNick ! Very helpful explanation! And I'm so happy about played sims always generating tombstones now and the control we have over how long the ghost stays!!! So happy!
