  • Nice, I think this is the first time that any of them (besides the main game) have been on sale on console. .
  • I had built a public pool / spa awhile ago and had just stuck some hot tubs and toddler stuff pillows where I wanted the sauna and yoga mats to go. I was glad to put the sauna in but for whatever reason, I liked the look of the toddler stuff pillows. So I just added a few meditation stools into the mix and put a cafe bar…
  • Yep.. I'd say adding keyboard / mouse support has messed up some of the controller controls. On Pc they've never supported controllers so it sort of makes sense that they'd have some problems combining the two on console. You'd have thought they would have done a bit more testing though. With the console version I always…
  • Pretty sure it's in the "other" section of the settings profile. Might be one of those settings you have to apply for each save or something. Edit: Yeah.. it's in game options "other" and then uncheck "Controls Overlay Reminder"
  • Keyboard and mouse controls seem to work great. Exactly like on pc. The menu and controls can switch seamlessly back and forth between controller and keyboard/mouse.. which is interesting to say the least. (It truly makes you wonder why they felt the need to change the control scheme so much. I mean, how hard is it to use…
  • On the back there are 2 (at least on the xbox one S.) Obviously if you are already using them for external drives or whatever you won't have enough.. You could always get a usb hub but I have no idea how effective those are. You'd definitely want to do a little research so you get one that others have tried and say works…
  • Yeah both the ps4 pro and xbox one x are still outrageously priced.. If new consoles are truly coming out in the next couple years then it's not worth it to buy either the pro or x. Just keep on using your old systems and save up for the new consoles.
  • States you need a wired usb connection (or I guess at least a usb dongle for wireless.) but doesn't state that you need to own anything special so I'm assuming anything will do. I'll either have to go buy a wireless and a dongle or two 10 foot usb extension cables. .. or sit really, really close to the t.v... on the floor.…
  • I actually got pretty darn used to using the controller. Everything on the controller is like a keyboard hotkey. I'll have to see how it works out and which I feel more comfortable with. Lapboard sitting on my lap with keyboard and mouse on top has never really felt all that great to me so I might end up sticking with the…
  • Nothing else announced? I mean spa day is great and all but I really just want to catch up to pc. Figured that they'd at least release Pet Day Stuff as well.. (not that it's anything that anybody really cares about.) Even caught up we'll probably still be a month or two behind their updates and releases.
  • Yes, too many events... it makes sense if you are in a celebrity career and want to get an award but if I have the option to opt-out of stardom turned on and none of my sims are in the spotlight then I shouldn't get the notifications on the calendar. The calendar drives me nuts sometimes. It'll just add holidays as it goes…
  • Ahh.. I'd really try building something in Newcrest just to test it out. Maybe even good enough to simply set a premade lot down and do some testing to see if famous sims show up. I've gone to my Newcrest bar a lot and never had any fame troubles.
  • Also good to note that you do not have to have testingcheats enabled to use bb.showhiddenobjects. Many cheats actually work without testingcheats on and do not disable achievements. Others that I know work without disabling achievements. 'bb.moveobjects, resetsim, Traits.equip_trait.' Those are the only cheats I can…
  • First take a look at the lot traits and make sure "Up and Coming Hot Spot" or "Hottest Spot in Town" aren't on there. If those traits aren't part of the lot then try building your own bar / restaurant in Newcrest. I swear, the places I've built there are the deadest places in the sims universe. I recently built a Karaoke /…
  • I'll probably upload all the buildings I've built. Doubt I'll upload any sims as I just don't see them as being all that creative. I mainly just create sims to fill in the empty houses in the worlds and don't put much time or effort in creating a background for them. I haven't built a ton .. Three houses, a pool, a gym…
  • Yeah.. I've never actively tried for points but I've apparently earned 20,586 of them. Guess I'll just save up for a years worth of Live or something. I wonder how long I've been earning points? Apparently they expire if you haven't earned or redeemed any in 90 days.
  • Yeah, they are just random townie NPC's and don't seem to have any specific programming related to the job they are supposed to be doing.. They maybe some very basic tweaks to a.i. but nothing as specific as in past games.
  • So after this release that leaves only 3 things that we're missing? Can't wait to be all caught up and hope that future console releases coincide with pc ones.
  • Just realized today that the menu screen in my game is still using the pets picture even though I have all the expansion sets.
  • I'll definitely buy it because I guess I'm addicted to buying every stupid thing that comes out. I have no idea how much I'll like it until I actually play it. I'll most likely enjoy some aspect of it.
  • > @CookieDusta69 said: > When will get famous come to ps4? I'm going to guess in the next few months.. After next month we'll only be behind one expansion pack, one game pack and four stuff packs. I could see them releasing maybe Spa Day and the Fitness stuff pack together, Get famous and Movie hangout stuff pack together.…

  • I have aging on.. I simply create new sims and move them in to places if a household becomes empty.
  • Seasons, vampires and parenthood are probably my favorite. .. I guess my least favorite would be Laundry day stuff maybe? but that's mostly due to me just not using a lot of stuff from that pack simply because I don't want to do laundry.
  • Was thinking it'd be nice to have a list of cheats that do not disable trophies.. There seem to be certain cheats you can type in without having to type in testingcheats on... like bb.moveobjects and bb.enablefreebuild. (maybe only bb.cheats don't disable trophies?) I have no idea if there are others but a list would…
  • > @LanieBorne said: > What is the Xbox equivelent of the PC's shift-clicking on a sim? I think with cheats on hold B and press A... (or hold o and press x on ps4.)

I also think it is funny thatI still need Get Together, and of course it's the one expansion pack that isn't on sale for black Friday. I thought if…
  • No matter how many drawings I do I can't complete the Artistic Prodigy challenge. Stuck on 4/5 drawings and I've drawn each picture 5 times. I have level 10 creativity and I've unlocked all the drawings. I guess my poor kid is just doomed to a life of never being able to reach her final goals.
  • There is another toggle switch in settings that turns aging on or off.. If you don't want your sims to age at all use this toggle.
