  • This is actually a common misconception that gets thrown around a lot as an excuse for poor quality (less content) or rushed games without any actual understanding how the current markets in contrast to how it used to work. Back in the day games were set at 60 dollars because the market was really small. This was even in…
  • This, how can you have an Asian inspired pack and not include a culturally appropriate tea set. Its a really big ooooof in my opinion. More so than any other item that could have been included. I mean its tea we are talking about here. How can you not include it. I do like the other furniture and I actually like how they…
  • Well I am in the US so I am unsure of the time differences in release. Basically I have a 11pm release in central US time so I'm curious if VPN hopping to NZ or Australia will get an earlier release. I can always just wait till 11pm.....but I want it earlier lol.
  • Anyone know if the release is earlier in New Zealand/Australia like a staggered release? Its 11pm release where I live and 12am on the east coast, so I wonder if its its earlier in New Zealand. If that's the case I'll probably hop over there and be a kiwi for a day so I can play eco living on Thursday.
  • Agreed traits don't feel impactful at all really. There are a few that can change the way you play but more than a few deal with emotions. I feel like emotions was something that wasn't properly implemented to its fullest potential. Emotions play a much bigger part in determining how your sim interacts with the world but…
  • Gonna have to jump on the Sabrina bandwagon and say Salem. I started watching the show before the semester started and was about half way through when realm of magic was released. I don't typically do much media influences in my game but I couldn't resist especially since its just a cat name and I REALLY liked the…
  • Agreed, there is also something to be said that vampires was a truly ground breaking pack in the sims franchise. This iteration of sims 4 has many critics but I think the majority agree that vampires is really the exception. It was a very innovative approach and really felt inspired at the time, the CAS, the BB, the perk…
  • I just tried making vampire spellcaster hybrids on adults using cheats. It works out great considering its not really intended. If you want to edit the dark form and assign perks the normal way though you have to remove spellcaster trait using cheats. Though once you have everything set on your vampire you can just add the…
  • Perfect just what I was looking for actually. Its nice that its re-usable so any time I wanna read a book I can just use that and get my flashy animations. Nice find thank for you sharing its exactly what I wanted.
  • I know this might constitute a "did you turn it off and back on again" solution but I thought I would give it a shot since I had this issue but found a work around (sorta). I have the same issue with my pictures not showing up in the mail and further more the photos I submitted for approval would never get accepted or…
  • Yea I lost those features as well in my panel, I think its a bug. I appreciate the suggestions (and your stories) I'll have to look into it. Not typically a fan of script mods that have to be updated frequently because of patches but I might have to give it a go. I just find it a shame that players have to turn to mods to…
  • Another point to consider when thinking about the map is the space we will be dealing with inbetween lots and the over all neighborhood size. Because the EP focuses on the water so much it looks like the neighborhoods will be huge with lots of reefs, canals and open water between lots. They have boats and canoes…
  • +1 its a serious crying shame that Selvadorada is a vacation only world. I barely use it even though its one of my favorite worlds. Vacation worlds restrict player freedom and limit how they can interact with the game, its the sims...this should be a big no no. Like I'm fairly sure I use outdoor retreat and jungle…
  • 4 stars but maybe 3.5 in reality. So here is my reasoning and I guess a mini review. The theme and the "feel" of the pack is good. I like the idea of giving the worlds that our sims live in character. Its a desert town, its remote, and the military plays a heavy role in the towns economy and residences. Its basically a…
  • I think the pack is decent actually. Great idea, great setting, but somewhat missed the mark in its delivery. The world is amazing and frankly I'd buy the pack if it only had the world. I know I'm part of the "problem" but the world is great seriously. I like desert worlds, Del Sol for some reason is actually very cold…
  • I think this was a fantastic choice on their part. It actually changes my perception of the pack from "okay" to "great". The vacation worlds are well designed and very nice but ultimately their impact on my game is very minimal. Their existence is tied to a particular activity and cannot be interacted with unless you take…
  • Don't we all but unfortunately that seems very unlikely. I will admit the two EP's last year was very fun I hope the trend continues. Speaking from my personal opinion I think the removal of quarterly teasers was bad decision overall. I can see why they want to do it in-case they do not have a pack all quarter long but…
  • I think booking multiple gigs is more realistic and provides that pay bump its a win win and adds a bit more depth. Either way I'm glad you liked the idea. As for the low pay early on I agree. My sim was struggling to pay his bills for a long time. I went an entire week without power or water when I finally paid the bill…
  • {EA_Lanna: Quote removed} Could have been phrased in a slightly less demeaning manner without the personal attacks. But....that doesn't mean you don't have a good point. These maxis monthly's originally seemed like a good idea, I've watched the majority of them after august of 2018. I wasn't even aware they would never…
  • The popular opinions (from my observations of posts here and elsewhere) seem to be cars, beach vacation spot, university, witches, and teens/elder content. I've also seen quite a lot of chat on these forums of wanting a farming focused EP. From a personal standpoint I don't mind most of those well.....except university. I…
  • Get famous and City Living are great in their own ways, and work together well. However they both offer different areas of....enhancement. City living is more focused on setting. I feel like sometimes I take City Living for granted because it blends in so well into all the other packs. Its a great stage for pretty much any…
  • It wouldn't surprise me. Its very strange that levels 8-10 nothing changes for you besides the bonuses you get. You still get the same median pay (well you know...) and same gigs. You unlock more BB sets but I didn't see much of a change. I did notice (at least it seems to me) that you get way more fame at level 10 from…
  • Medians are typically mid point values in a distribution of population or sample data. I'm assuming if all else being equal that if the lowest data value in a distribution of payments is 400~ and the median is 9,800 that the max should be around 20,000~. That's not necessarily the correct value but more of an estimate. If…
  • I very much agree that 80k is unreasonable and It likely won't happen. I will be surprised if they bump it up at all, its not something they usually touch in their patches. But I should state if they raise their pricing to reflect the median AND make easy street work 80,000$ a week will be the results (these are rough…
  • I don't really have much plans for the residential area's going forward. However I'm completely reworking starlight boulevard with new lots. I also build a starter home and a mansion for my sim. Here are some pics of my WIP's. Studio PBP will keep its name but it has a new look. The story is that its the first film studio…
  • Its pretty funny you mention that actually. Today I cleansed my celeb sim of his perks and went down the left tree (media production) instead of the right tree (career focused). Since easy street does not work and the audition perk doesn't cut down the days before filming the right tree literally has no benefits to actors…
  • If I had to go by the information they give us then yes (by information I mean perk descriptions and the career descriptions). The reasons why are stated in that above post. The first is mainly easy street not doubling the gig payouts (again or so I have read around here on the forums I'm not fully there yet). If you are a…
  • I wonder if the audition perk and the easy street perk both not working with the actor career is an oversight. Easy street just doesn't work at all (or so I have heard and read on this forum). Warning: now is the time I go on a rant because I love the career and how it works I just hate some of the decisions that are apart…
  • Agreed they really should make the audition to filming day reduced by one day if you have the celeb perk, AND they should bump up the gig pay to 9,800 for high end gigs, AND they should allow the easy street perk to double the pay check (like its suppose to!!!!!) at the end AFTER the talent agency has already increased it.…
  • That's great for you. But are you seriously saying because you don't like something it shouldn't be in the game? And they should never make it again? SMH. The entitlement in this thread is just fantastic. My baaaaaaaaaaaaabies. My caaaaaaaars. Like do people seriously think this stuff is not coming? Fan service has been…
