  • I'm about to go test my game with the new settings, I'm interested to see how this works as well. I haven't had them roaming in my game, just the family tree issue and occasional automatic move ins, but I am unsure...people on the report thread were talking about other symptoms and whether they were or weren't influenced…
  • On this subject, I wonder whether this is a connection between them. Do you guys have Get to Work installed? The sims who have been suddenly sun immune in my game have appeared at crime scenes as witnesses. It's when I first noticed that this was going on. I don't know if their being at those scenes as NPC witnesses meant…
  • Ah, I love these new additions to the thread :D The reaper is hilarious. I love him picking out stuff from the trash. ;) I so would love a Reaper career path. Definitely.
  • I was actually annoyed it didn't come into this patch as I think it's more disruptive than some of the things they fixed :/ I can't play at the moment because of university, but I figure waiting it out till the Feb patch might be a good plan. It didn't bother me too much until relationships started to break among living…
  • Ok, so UK person here. First the general confusion over what currencies are what and what they're worth kind of boggles my mind. Sorry to the person who said this, I'm not picking on you, but I fail to see how that has any relevance to any of the Euro discussion. The Euro is a bigger unit of currency than the $US but a…
  • I didn't have this problem before, but it has begun to manifest in the last week or so. I don't have any mods or CC so I know it isn't anything I've done to the game. It's annoying because my detective keeps having to introduce himself to his boss, but that would be minor. Now it's got to the point where sims haven't met…
  • I got 6 out of 10 on the quiz, which is sort of amazing since my laundry prowess is usually limited to throwing things in the machine and hoping for the best (I am not a practical task person xD). I am not even going to try to do the image as I am the worst builder in the world, but I did learn stuff from the quiz...
  • As if death wasn't enough of a warning for Cameron not to mess with forces beyond his control. He seems to be cursed with encounters with hot things. First the sun...then a wish that went a little wrong at the well... Literally burning money. That's what happens when you try to cheat your way to a fortune. It's not smart…
  • This for me too. I can't vote. I like random, which tends to intersperse normal life into utter insanity ten seconds later. I like the balance of human families, alien abductions and vampire legacies. I can't really separate them because the whole combination makes my sim world. But I really couldn't play without the…
  • Mine don't necessarily have the skins either, but tend to in dark form. My townie vampires are mostly indistinguishable from regular sims, I often have to check whether they are vampire townies or regular ones by seeing if the option to drink plasma comes up for them (as a target) or, if they are an acquaintance of my sim,…
  • My sims entered their seventh generation since the CAS sim, but more significantly, there are now five generations of Guthrie vampires with the name Cameron. And here they are: The grandparents of the first Cameron are Bella and Mortimer Goth and my CAS Sallie Guthrie and her husband Silas. THe parents were Alex Goth and…
  • I had a funny incident with the vampire breaking in thing. One of my vampires was stalking up to a house where sims were living. THe sims in residence were...the grand master vampire and family, all vampires. Stalking vampire seemed to realise her stupidity, as she stopped stalking before she reached the door and went home…
  • I agree with the OP on this one, I hate that they have to cook a cake and then place it and then get the candles on it before someone else starts eating the cake. I would like there to be an easier way for a sim to age up than this, especially since not getting the cake age up makes them depressed about a forgotten…
  • I don't usually post here twice in two days, but erm, today Aubrey had a little accident. He was testing out his emotional control powers at the pool, and, well... Two adult sims suddenly died. I can only assume it was because he made them enraged, though I have never seen him have such a drastic effect before. Ironically…
  • I have had a situation like that! Only in my case 2 sims were on a date and 2 elders died of dancing exertion during the date. Still got a silver medal though... In my game today I finally managed to get Aubrey to catch an angelfish, which means that he finally managed to resurrect his former housemate, Cameron Guthrie.…
  • The game does denote stay at home mum and stay at home Dad as their jobs if you look at them as acquaintances of your sim. I think the same is true for what I mentioned about retired, I think it shows them as retired from x career on that panel. It's only on the actual sim's job panel that these things aren't recognised. I…
  • I have a lot of vampires and a lot of story twists associated with them since I began playing, but they cross four generations now, and I don't know that I can include all of it here without it being a really long post. Instead I guess I'll give some biographical highlights of my main dynasties. My vampire families are…
  • To me it sounds like you're complaining that the game isn't adjusted to suit your modding preferences, rather than anything else. The game may not denote relationships such as 2nd and 3rd cousins etc, but it is not EA's game that is making those sims fall in love, it's the settings on your MCC. I don't have any issue with…
  • When you click to accept the family, does it then ask you to accept the family to move it in? I just moved out my game folders to check what it is meant to do so you can check whether you have a problem with your installation. In my game, it goes right to CAS, after creating a sim and selecting the tick/check mark, it…
  • I don't know if you use any mods that might cause this or if it is because she is a ghost or just that the power system remains a bit unstable following the C&D patch in November. I also don't know if you used any cheats to get to this point, but it does seem like there are still some strange things happening with vampires…
  • 1. What was your favorite pack released this year and why? I don't really know if it was released this year because I have only played TS4 this year, but I like vampires. I know that GTW is older but I really like that too. ;) I like the randomness and a bit of weird in my game. :) 2. What was your favorite free…
  • I also don't mind them walking through each other. Sims 2 tapping drove me nuts. I admit I get a bit twitchy when they stand on top of each other in some weird gestalt entity mode, but otherwise I am fine with it. I don't really see it as game breaking even if it can be a bother. For me right now game breaking is the fact…
  • I don't have a problem not having the lore. I mean, it's fun to have that but also fun to experiment. I have two games I play a lot. In the original one, the Goths have all died out now, except Colby. Colby is the son of Alex Goth and Hermione Guthrie (the daughter of my original CAS sim, the Guthrie family are my original…
  • Yeah, I was a bit worried that might be the case :/ I haven't had a toddler taken by services yet but I dislike having to use stat cheats to ensure that doesn't happen in an emergency and I don't want to have to run home halfway through a work day to ensure that nobody dies. Between that and the undead dead sims coming…
  • My vampire detective finally solved some cases. There's still a grave in the main cell, though, thanks to a previous occupant dying while Marlowe was on duty. He makes a pretty good bad cop. Nobody wants to mess with his fangs. I did think he was going to arrest his daughter though at one point. That was a slightly awkward…
  • I like a lot of these ideas. I'm iffy about the 'cultural' thing, though, as I suspect it would create a lot of potential minefields for the creators. I mean, how to define cultures and would people from those cultures be offended by those associations. Also, there is no such thing as 'Western' or 'Eastern' culture - I'm…
  • If you have the money to upgrade your machinery every game, that's fine, but I have real life to factor in and Sims isn't more important than my rent, food, travel and academic costs. If I have to choose between real life and synthesised sim life, I am going to choose my real life, obviously. I think EA knows that, which…
  • Going back to the vampire drinking thing - I haven't played my main vampire neighbourhood lately as I have been experimenting with aliens in a different game, but the few vampires I have in this game haven't shown any issue with drinking from my sims. In fact, one of my teen vampires just found out his friend was an alien,…
  • Agree with more jobs. I was also rather surprised GTW didn't have a career orientated aspiration added. Also it would be nice if the retired sims on the job scene had the 'retired from x career' screen rather than 'x doesn't have a job'. There's a difference between being unemployed and being retired in my view. :)
  • That's all very well, but when you don't even get a reaper or an option to plead, and when your game doesn't tell you the sim has come home from work and only notifies you that he has by telling you that he's died...that's not fair play. I like having some sun immune and some not, and my game apparently likes it too O.o. I…
