    I'm unsure if I'll even like the Pastel kit, but I'm interested in the clutter one. I will likely wait until after the Holidays before I purchase something for myself. Glad you're enjoying it.

    I wasn't sure if I would have use for the Pastel kit either. I bought it on a whim for my teen/young adult sims and I'm glad I did. The kit comes with $.hag carpet flooring. The swatches easily fit other styles of interior (not just pastel). :mrgreen:

    edit to add: unfinished build I was working on using the flooring

    I had the kit for a while now and the carpet is the best item I think. It’s the best carpet in the game, I’d probably use it at least once in almost every build I ever do.

    I also don’t see any point in using the base game cork board ever again. Some of the other things as well like the bin and salt lamp are going to fit a lot of builds and the pastel wallpapers are generally an improvement on the base game ones. The kit isn’t a must have but it’s definitely a nice to have.

    Hi, i didn’t know where to ask this question so i thought let’s put it in here
    I recently downloaded the NPCC Mod which is mainly used to deactivate random Sim generation for NPC Roles like Bartender, Gym Trainer, Gardener, Firefighter and so on and forces the Sims which are already existing in the world including my own created ones to do the tasks.

    But i also downloaded NPC Role Sims such as Scientists, Doctors, Military Personal and so on from the gallery after done so and started playing everyone from the Military is suddenly Entertainer every Scientist is unemployed Doctors doing other roles like selling food or something

    Why is that can you help me please?

    Well, I am totally unfamiliar with either mod, but when you removed the NPCs from their jobs, they had to do something to survive, right?

    All the engaged couples in my save show up to view the wedding venues, I was not expecting that. Glad it's not a bunch of random unengaged sims.

    Check your neighborhood stories settings first. Then take a look at the NPCC & NPC mod settings. I stopped using these mods years ago but I imagine there should be a page on the site that walks you through the different settings.

    I started building in Granite Falls a week ago. Summer Camp✅ Campground✅ Next on my list is to build a fire tower. Sounds easy enough but I want it to also function as a hot springs (Onsen Bathhouse lot type). Not too sure on the design yet. So many good ideas on Google images.

    I have a Llamacorn Scouts camp in my Granite Falls. When you get it done, please share pictures. I want to see the fire tower. :)

    So far it's looking like a temple. :D I'll be sure to share screenshots if I ever figure it out.

    I wish the odd jobs time was just a tad longer, like instead of ending at 8 it would be like 10 or 12, also kinda wish you could start the job sooner.
    It just seems like weird times to me

    Screenshots taken in build mode. I have not play tested it yet so I don't know if the "kitchen" will function with just those items. The cab is more for the theme than functional gameplay anyways. I think this fire tower came out a little short compared to the real thing but I wanted to avoid glitches/routing as much as possible.

    Anyone do anything slightly weird?
    I do, I put my sim "to bed" before I log out of the game

    I do that too. I wait until nighttime when they go to bed. Just seems like a good stopping point.

    @ryouma17 Interesting, I've never heard anyone else or seen anywhere else this same issue. The only problems I've heard of and experienced from the auto fix need button option, is that when you use it on needs sleep, the sims will sometimes just take a nap instead of going to sleep. My first family that I played with, that game had a lot of small issues/bugs, some medium ones and some bad ones, then my game started crashing almost every time I traveled. So, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it. Plus, I deleted all save both locally and on the cloud. This fixed a ton of issues I was having and made the load times significantly faster. I had to start fresh, but there was actually some appeal to doing that. If you're having a lot of issues, I would recommend doing the same thing as I did. You may make a bug report, find the place to do so by searching on this site. Someone may have also experienced it or have insight in how to fix it. This topic area of discussion isn't the best place to go to about this issue I would spend more time searching and discovering this site if you are new. Not saying it's wrong to make a bug suggestion report thing in here but it's not the best place to, good day or night.

    For the most part, I do the opposite. I wait until they wake up in the morning. That way I have a fresh day to play them when I come back. That being said, I do sometimes just quit in the middle of the day when they're "in the middle of nowhere" as you say.

    I do the same thing. It gives me a good feeling to know that after a busy day my Sims are nicely tucked away having sweet dreams (hopefully not about spiders or soiled underpants :D ).

    I find I really pay little attention to the game's clock. LOL I know, I know, I'm really bad. Sometimes the three Toddlers are up in the wee hours. But, hey, they're well-cared for and happy little tykes. Besides, their Dad is often on 'away' concerts, as he's a Global Superstar, Rock Star.

    Creating a neighbourhood from scratch is a nightmare when it comes to populating the town.

    Get through making a bunch of Sims for Mt Komorebi with unique appearences and stories well enough, get to San Myshuno and start filling it out with Sims making sure to set their relations right for the perfect drama... Then seeing where else I need to populate

    And oops... 60/20 split of Men to Women, with at least a good 70% of the ladies being in one area. I thought I was worse making men...

    I've suffered through some frighteningly awful karaoke performances lately. One of my Sims, who's done enough Singing to reach level 5, usually sounds terrible, even when he picks the lower level Rock songs that even a novice singer can perform.

    I seem to remember Sims being able to handle "Hotter than Sin" without much trouble once they'd leveled up a few times. My Sim just butchered that song badly enough to cause our cat to jump off the couch.

    I wonder if the game code was adjusted to make Sims less tuneful until they acquire some real skill?
