  • I’m of two minds about the rabbit holes. On the one hand, yes, it is a bit disappointing that we can’t actually go into each building. But on the other hand, for a mission-based pack like this, choosing to have each area fully open rather than segmented into individual lots was probably the right move, since it means you…
  • Target did actually just release a line of Galaxy’s Edge inspired merchandise this past week, but judging by the pictures I saw I think most of it was scooped up by people to be sold on EBay and the like. Back before The Last Jedi release, I actually went to one of the “Force Friday” events at my local Target and won a…
  • I am so thankful now that my household with Star Wars character names had a set of triplets. One for each faction! (I just have to decide if I want Padme or Finn to be First Order since Rey is obviously going with Resistance. Part of me thinks that the two girls being opposites would be interesting, but then I also thought…
  • Yeah, I'm still torn. I did notice that the actual orange and white BB-8 pattern is not an option...but then again, Poe did say that BB-8's one of a kind.
  • My droid choice will be based on one factor.... Whether or not there is a "belly rub" interaction on the BB units so I can recreate this moment from The Last Jedi.
  • It's called "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge-Adventure Awaits". Strange that it wouldn't be available in all countries.
  • I had a lot of similar conversations with my co-workers today-none are really Sims players (some have played it here and there) but all of them are Star Wars fans. Every one of them was excited, and one actually told me he was going to re-download TS4 specifically to play it. I think this absolutely has to potential to…
  • The Washington Post article mentioned a “home base” where you could attend to your Sims basic needs. I’m imagining something like JA, or maybe even the base from World Adventures in TS3.
  • I...don't think I've been this excited for a pack in a long time. As I've stated before, I count The Sims, Star Wars, and Disney parks among my top interests. So to have a pack that blends them all together is right up my alley. For reference, I currently have not one, not two, but three households in my game with Star…
  • What I would like to know is, say your Sim's outfit includes a knitted item, and they move out of their current household. Does their new household automatically unlock the item because they were already wearing it? One of my Sim kids knit a sweater for his older sister, who is a teen. When she eventually goes to Uni and…
  • Yeah...I don’t think it’s a coincidence that, even with EA having the Star Wars game license for so long, the first real Star Wars DLC for this game had to wait for Galaxy’s Edge. (For reference, Galaxy’s Edge opened in California in May, 2019 and in Florida that same August. Our last game pack (RoM) came out last…
  • Oh my...I can't believe I didn't put that together. You are so right! And I didn't even think about them recreating the creature stall! (One of the little stalls in the marketplace area sells "creatures"; in reality, they are all some sort of puppet or animated plush toy, but in-universe they treat it as though you are…
  • The stories from the movies and games don't even dictate your story when you visit the real Galaxy's Edge-that's why Disney went with an original planet rather than just recreating recognizable ones from the films. They wanted visitors to live their own stories, not re-live ones they'd already seen. So while you may see…
  • So, some of this is going to reiterate what I've already said in another thread, but overall I think a Galaxy's Edge/Battu themed pack is incredibly likely given the icon. (I can't see anything else in that icon now, and the three suns thing is way to specific of a detail.) While Star Wars in general might seem like too…
  • Yeah, I can't unsee the Battu architecture now. The three suns is such a specific detail. And honestly, it makes sense from so many different angles. From The Sims' perspective, basing a pack around Galaxy's Edge is probably the only way they could ever do a Star Wars pack. Having your Sims live in the Star Wars universe…
  • The “stack them up” one certainly seems to be hinting at bunk beds, but...what if instead of bunk beds as separate objects, they overhaul the existing single beds so we can “stack” any bed in the game and turn it into a bunk bed? It may be wishful thinking, but the fact that it refers to something being side by side,…
  • So, I can't belive I actually did this but I just uploaded a video for the storytelling challenge. I set it as unlisted, but it's up here: https://youtu.be/ThIi3jo6blM
  • I think it gets the job done. One other thing I noticed was that apparently our Sims will have usernames for Plopsy. We’ve never been able to actually set up any kind of account for Sims before, so that’s kind of cute.
  • I'm excited too. I think a lot of the negativity stems from the perception that any and all resources allocated to marketing the game can or should be reallocated to development, which is never going to happen. There will always be resources dedicated to marketing the game. And as I said in the main thread, I would much…
  • Huh, well...I can't say I was expecting this. It does seem like an interesting concept, though. (And as far as marketing techniques go, I'd much rather see this than a clothing line nobody can afford.) It makes perfect sense that they would test the concept using their Game Changers first, since they already have a working…
  • Basically, weddings and eating at fancy restaurants-that’s the only place any of my Sims put on their formal outfits. Actually if you have the Toddler Stuff pack, they wear their party outfits to play dates. I have CC “school uniforms” that I set every toddler party outfit to so their play dates look like a preschool class.
  • I am loving the new phone calls. The prank ones are slightly annoying but in a funny way. They absolutely have that Sims 1 vibe to them. (I especially love the one that is a reference to an old Simpsons episode.) Currently, I'm playing a group of Sims in University. One got a phone call from his mother with a message that…
  • Unfortunately, all three of those are ruled out by the fact that the same problem is happening across PC, Mac, and console players. It's unclear why some are experiencing it and others are not. SimGuruNick actually just posted on his twitter that yes, a fix is in the works and that once that fix is released the saves…
  • I was also able to open a much older save that I haven't touched in quite some time, (we're talking like, 2018) but my main saves all crash the game-even when the file is replaced from an older, pre-patch backup. (I actually tried two backups-one from right before the patch was installed, and one from November of 2019.…
  • The 2020 date thing doesn't appear to be the culprit for me. I just tried to load a save from 2019 and my game still crashed. I even went into my Time Machine backups and grabbed the actual save file from 2019; it still didn't work.
  • I don't use the in-game screenshot tool very often; most of my screenshots are captured with an external program called Skitch. This not only lets me easily grab bits of the game UI (like notification boxes or moodlet descriptions), it also allows me to easily drag the image anywhere on my computer rather than having them…
  • Wow, that's a neat trick. I just thought I'd add that there is another way to do this as well. The game will actually save up to 5 camera positions that you can jump between while taking pictures with the camera. To set it up, you would go into "Cameraman Mode" by hitting the "Tab" key, then position the camera however you…
  • I had a thought while reading through the blog post. Given that it mentioned both finding furniture in the dumpster and recycling an old couch after buying a new one, is it possible that we could be getting the ability to put all objects in our Sims' inventory? Otherwise, how would you get the old TV home or get the old…
  • Not ony this, but one of the biggest complaints about the game recently has been that nothing the Sims do really matters. We want consiquences. Now, we're getting a pack that's all about the consiquences of our Sims' actions. Truthfully, I don't see the theme here as "cleaning" or "pollution"; rather, the larger theme I…
  • Based on everything we’ve seen and read, the level of pollution in each world is directly related to your Sims’ actions-whether or not they’re living an “eco-lifestyle”. Given this, I don’t think pollution will accumulate In a world unless you are playing a family in said world. So if you want San Myshuno to be dirty, but…
