  • I for one, am enjoying watching this latest EA debacle. I cannot understand why this was released unfinished. No ON/OFF switch? Amazing. All I can think is it's some kind of test being carried out on the players. No way am I updating. I may never update again. Another thing I cannot figure out is how these "stories" relate…
  • I'm not seeing how this update equates to "story progression." I have seen quite a few posts on other sites showing some of the problems with this system. Random NPC's calling your sim with questions like "should we have a baby?" Or "should I hang out with so-and-so?" Bella Goth calling sims she doesn't know to ask them to…
  • IMHO Get Famous is one of the better expansion packs. Yes, the world is a bit of a disappointment but all in all the pack is good. The acting scenes aren't Macbeth or anything but it's nice to have actual activities your sims participate in. Road to Fame adds so much to it. I like doing the acting gigs on my sims lot. I…
  • I would add one other suggestion. I don't know if you use mods but "Road to Fame" allows you to hire a personal bodyguard. The mod is also a great addition to Get famous. I use it all the time.
  • I am with the majority of posts in this thread. This is just another example of EA fail. Taking an idea that the community has done for years and try to make it seem NEW. It's the easy way out. (What a surprise, I know). I've never done it but I'm sure somewhere a player has, but I'm willing to bet I could marry two sims,…
  • I'm going to add my comment here regarding an issue that is very similar with my sims. I don't think this is a "4th wall" thing at all. About two days ago I noticed that when my sims sit down to eat they do something similar to this post. If my sims sit down to eat next to each other, they stare at each other while they…
  • (Right after this Post)... EA Team (in conference room 101)... "Sims never order things at bar/food stalls/cafes" ✔ CHECK "Sims lose their first and last names" ✔ CHECK "Sim wakes up to look at décor they like" ✔ CHECK "Sims can't use any custom content desk chairs" ✔ CHECK "Sims autonomously doing activities they dislike"…
  • I don't know if you use mods, but this one works great. I've been using it for a long time: https://www.patreon.com/posts/49323063
  • You can upload that LE file here: https://lastexception.com/ Sounds like a mod issue. The only thing that may work is to pull any mods from the game and test it. If the game loads then you quit out and start adding mods back in until you find the culprit. (Of course deleting the cache file every time)
  • For me it's breasts. (Can I say that here?) :o I'm always struggling to get that slight upward curve, you know what I mean? Maybe I just haven't found the right slider yet.
  • There is a mod for this that still works: "Sit to eat and drink" by Lotharihoe. I hate when my sim is having a great conversation with another sim and it's going really well and then my sim walks away right in the middle of the conversation. Why? Because he wants to look at a painting on the wall. The sim he was conversing…
  • The smaller inset pictures are a little blurry yes. The inset picture is the object that already exists in the game. It's easy to see that quite a few objects in the "new" kit are nothing but recolors of existing objects. Here is another look at the kit. In particular look at the bed, the coffee table (Get Famous), the end…
  • Here is a little preview of the next "kit" LOL. https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/pbufxx/current_items_compared_to_the_upcoming_industrial/
  • Here is a nice little look at the new "kit." LOL. https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/pbufxx/current_items_compared_to_the_upcoming_industrial/
  • Just throwing in my experience. I don't think it has anything to do with MCCC either. Right now I'm playing S4 with only Get Together and Get Famous loaded and I have this issue also. Prior to the last patch I did not have this issue.
  • Yeah, THIS. I have a particular long running save with a Sim farmer. At least 60 plants. A farm. Everything from mushrooms to plums to blackberries and everything in between. Being a farmer is his "job." Just as you said I had to put that game on hold as it is just not worth the aggravation. It's kind of funny because…

  • Actually, I think EA should give you a break. What I expect is for "likes and dislikes" to affect my Sims "behavior." So far I haven't seen that happen.
  • Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. Never gonna happen. EA wouldn't make money off that. It's not personal but I do not see how any player can say "likes and dislikes" work. I started a new game (as I mentioned in my OP) purposely to test this. My Sim Alessandro is an artist. He likes Painting, Cooking, and Pop…
  • Yeah I get what your saying, but what I mean is Sim to Sim interaction. Something that adds to a Sims "personality." Not just watching my Sims "fun" motive increase. That's not personality (to me). There are so many things in this game that add "fun" motive or make Sims "happy." My Sims are "happy" enough for the whole…
  • The only solution I am aware of is this: sims4me_nocelebritywalkstyle. Mod. It removes the walk style. No celebrity sims will have it.
  • Ouch. Yeah that's what I'm talking about. In my one game my sim is a secret agent and became good friends with Venessa Jeong. So later in the game Venessa comes down the street after appearing in what I call the "visit spot" for this lot and then stops in front of his house but never knocks on the door. She stood there…
  • Thanks for the response. I think that you're right. It doesn't seem to be mod related. I also have noticed more issues with "idling" in general. Not to mention the psuedo-teleport thing my Sims are doing now.
  • Wow. That sounds like fun. About as much fun as watching paint dry, that is. A different fertilizer for each and every plant. So I guess if I want to play a "farming" game in Sims 4 my Sim better get used to sleeping for about an hour everyday. Heaven forbid that EA should actually fix the bug. >:)
  • I want to make sure no one mistakes my comments. I'm not dismissing certain players idea that story progression is something they want. In a perfect world yes, story progression would be a choice in the game. Unfortunately, as I stated I don't see EA making it happen, at least properly. I also don't mean to imply that…
  • I think a huge discussion regarding "story progression" is meaningless. Why? First of all a player can use MCCC to do many of those things now. I don't see any good reason not to use that mod. Secondly, I would have been much happier to see EA at least attempt to "polish" the base game. I think "polish" is a good term.…
  • No offense, but a yeah, they can't even fix the gardening bug.
  • Posting an update to my previous post. I think you will find fertilizer doesn't seem to have anything to do with this issue. I want to repeat that I do not own ECO or Seasons. I have been playing some big time gardening games for a long time. Also, in the scenario I describe below, my Sim never left the lot for four days…
