I actually haven’t had the plant bug since the latest update, so I wondered if they had changed something behind the scenes but I’m glad to hear that a fix is coming. And I do wonder if I’m not having the bug because I changed my seasons length and rotation schedule to a 2-week one (it was 1 week before). Or maybe it’s…
I switch at (or just after) 2am on Mondays because: • Any holidays have just completed. • Plants are usually harvested by this time. I’ve had issues where if I reload a lot with unharvested plants, the produce ends up in the household inventory which is annoying, so I save before they can spawn in the morning • In the…
I have a set schedule so they all age the same amount and I can also make sure they don’t skip or repeat seasons. I switch every 2 weeks at 2am Monday. When I am through the rotation and start back with the first family, I use the “advance season” cheat ( seasons.advance_season ) until they’re in the right one (and seasons…
Does the trolley always make that bell sound when it goes past? I just noticed it rang at the end of the trailer. I am excited that the cupcakes will be freed but I hope they include everything else you can only make with the cupcake machine because it has a ton of exclusive recipes I’d want to make in the oven. The pack…
If you didn’t save, you didn’t save. Going to Manage Worlds (whether you save there or not) doesn’t restart your save. If you had gone to the Main Menu without saving, then reloaded your save, everything would have been back. I bet if you reload your save now, you’ll see it’s fine. And if not, then you did save somewhere.…
Happy belated Thanksgiving!! Hope I haven’t missed much since the summer. I’m so thankful for my son who is almost 5 months old now. And that he is finally napping in his crib! 😆 Maybe I will get around to updating my game one of these days soon!
Yes, but in the past I’ve been too excited for a pack to want to play without it. So I totally understand waiting. I also get preparation mode. I’m just not planning to get the pack, going on a long Simming break anyway and it’s not my thing. I’m excited for the rest of you, though!
Ideally, I’d continue indefinitely through several generations because I love to watch the genetics play out, but I haven’t gotten too far past the 3rd generation lately because I’ve had visions about how I could have started things off better. I’m slightly perfectionist in this way where changing certain gameplay options…
11 Households currently. I started with all the premade teen households, played the teens as YAs through uni and now some of them are married to each other or sims they met later. I play each for 1 week, changing just after 2am Mondays. It is timed so if my sims are nominated for a Starlight Accolade, they can attend that,…
My sims haven’t built any but there are some Servos that were automatically generated in my game, probably when my sims were at uni. I know it was a long shot, though!
My sim was trying to have a baby at the hospital recently and the doctor didn’t show up. Then I noticed a Servo outside breaking down and she was tagged as the doctor. My sim’s husband repaired her and they went right in to surgery. I don’t suppose your host was a Servo, too? Just a thought!
Sounds like a lot of fun to send those Windenburg sims to uni together. I did so with the teens (all premades) when they aged up to YA, and there were 16 of them, which I placed in 4 different dorms with 4 sims in each dorm (half UBrite, half Foxbury). I planned this out ahead of time as I decided on their majors based on…
Your example of an orphanage is something easy for me to imagine is in the game without it being too much of a stretch. I suppose everyone will have their limits on how much they want to rely on their imagination when playing this game. I’m mainly thinking of stories that are very much about what’s in the characters’ heads…
I like to see short descriptions about what happens in others’ games because sometimes it’s fun to see what they did with the same premades or it’ll remind me of features that worked well into their lives. Photos are fun, but not too many because the thread jumps around when loading them on my phone and I have to scroll to…
This is how I remember their age bars looking, too. I looked back on my notes and they both had the same number of days till aging up, but she clearly has lived a bit longer so I made a point to list her higher than him (in age order). I figured if I were to change it to long lifespan, she would be a few days older than…
I don’t feel like it would matter to me if they updated her somehow because we have the flexibility to change it. I play her as a tomboy girl who rebelled against how feminine her name was, and changing that to Darlene helped her feel more comfortable in her skin. She married a female and now works as a high-ranking…
They sped up eating fairly recently (in the past 6 months?) and it was a bit controversial. People were saying they could barely have a family eat a meal together anymore. But they were eating ridiculously slowly before. They still eat slowly if they’re sad or something, is that relevant to your current issue? I don’t…
In the context of the Health Nut lifestyle, this thread has some info: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/998854/question-about-the-food-lifestyles In the context of calories, Carl’s Guide has some details but I’m not sure how up-to-date it is. The game had added a bunch of foods with 0 calories so you might want…
That would be dyeing. My sims tend to get hysterical if they’ve had several recent events that give strong happy moodlets, like engagement, marriage, holidays, etc. so I spread those out as much as possible and try to avoid bubble baths. Now it’s not really an issue for me. But it really can sneak up on you when the stars…
I’ve always added mine under the genres given by the game. Did you put them in a “custom music” folder? If so, I would try moving them to a game-generated folder and just make sure they’re checked in your options (I often uncheck songs from the same folder that the game put there).
There’s been a lot of discussion about how Neighborhood Stories doesn’t split individuals from households (although MCCC does, do you have that?). And many people have said they wish it did, because when they have Move In/Move Out enabled, it’s the entire household that moves. It would make sense for YAs to move out of the…
