    I have no time to play but I looked at CAS, it’s very nice! Some categories are empty or close to empty, one earring, no shoes etc. But I guess this is replaced by the new skin details and infant stuff, and more men’s clothes.

    There are quite a lot of clothes and the textures and details are really nice, some really good swatches as well, it’s a big step up from the base game clothes.

    Not sure how much I will use it but definitely while I’m playing growing together there is lots of good CAS to use. I especially like the T-shirt with the elephants, or flowers depending which swatch you pick. Really nice.

    @Hearts4u I also bought the simtimates and bathroom clutter!

    I haven't really played my game yet, I just went in and started giving likes and dislikes to some of my sims but I got fed up of doing it lol.

    In the morning I am going to have a look at the world lots and do some editing and adding rec centres to other worlds.

    I've been in CAS for the majority of the day because I deleted a bunch of CC and now I'm going through every household. They really did a great job on the CAS items.

    Next on my list will be to build and/or remodel some of the houses to accommodate my families. I'm hoping I'll get to play on Saturday.

    Did anyone else notice that toddlers are taller?

    So I just jumped straight in and let the game kind of arrange things itself. The family I have been playing has set the father as Strict and the others are all jokestars. Poor strict dad gets a bit sad sometimes.

    My issue at the moment is one of the kids aspirations...

    I can't seem to get the 'Go 12 hours without a negative need moodlet' to work. Like I have micromanaged her for a couple sim days now and none of them have even sunk to amber... She has had other negatives as she is hot headed, but as it is specifically said NEED surely that shouldn't impact it?

    Has anyone else tried it yet? I wonder if it is just me missing something? :D

    Don't know if anyone mentioned but I was testing some things and grabbed a toddler and infant off the gallery as the family I picked didn't have youngins yet and you can adopt them, not just as care dependents.

    @RedDestiny92 ... What is that object in the dad's hand in picture two?

    the adoption forms I believe, he read it before the adoption was complete.

    Although my Sims will be having children the old fashion way, that is a nice add to the game. Loving all these little details.

    This has to be my favorite pack to date! Loving everything so far. Infants are challenging, but oh so cute! The family dimanics are so good.

    yeah it is really adorable, I am just looking around at the moment so it's nice to see things I really wasn't thinking about.
    So stay overs can be planned on the calander and they also gave us family reunions in events, which again sorry if someone already found that.

    I haven't done anything with the gameplay yet, been too busy building houses. I forgot to save a house before I bulldozed it, so I'm stuck with the WIP house.

    Aaaanyway, my main couple ended up lucking out and having amazing compatibility. Also, I discovered milestones are retroactive; my sim had milestones for things from before I installed the pack.

    The BB isn't amazing, but I see a few art deco-ish pieces I plan on using. And once my sims have kids, there are a ton of clutter items I want to use.

    "yep! We made a baby thing..have fun!"

    I'm loving infants so far. There are so many animations and cute details with them. Kerrigan expanded her brood and promptly abandoned the child today. That's normal for Kerrigan.

    It's has been a while since I've built a house.
    High School Years had me building a high school, gym, special events building, and several community lots.

    So I tried my hand at a Craftsman styled house.

    Now I have to figure out how to organize the interior.
    I think things will change as I try to figure out how to make it work.

    Yeah, I just finished building a renovation for Straud's lot, a modern house with a near full basement for vampires and the children... But like you, I dont like adding "lived in clutter"; thats the part of interior dec I just dont care for.

    Still, the house is rudimentarily ok for grotog.

    Did play some, interesting milestone system... Might look at more later...
    Sorry, Avatar is merely my favorite Sims 4 sim.

    Alright!
    It's almost there. Just when I thought I would give it a rest, things clicked and I took it further.
    03-16-23_11-51-44_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    I think the interior will work itself out.
    I even managed to put in stairs to a basement.
    03-16-23_11-34-32_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Plenty of space now.

    2 Bedrooms upstairs.
    The Tree House seems to fit alright.

    Does Grim Reaper resurrect our sim if there is a good Social Compatibility ?

    That would be awesome.

    I literally spent all day yesterday editing my sims & their homes, lol. :D I’m hoping to get into live mode next week since I won’t have much time over the weekend. So far, I’m really loving this pack, though!
  • BabykittyjadeBabykittyjade Posts: 4,926 Member
    Can anyone confirm if they made toddlers taller? Or if they simply "look" taller because of infants.
    Zombies, oh please oh please give us zombies!! :'(

    Conor talked about Bunk beds and sleeping bag while Tiny Living Stuff livestream a long time ago, I'm still waiting for the sleeping bag.

    I like the Family Dynamic with my played family (30 sims)

    It seems to be a good way to let the game decide instead of setting it in CAS.
  • LSM36LSM36 Posts: 589 Member
    I'm in the middle of playing, my hand is so cramped. I just completed my baby shower for my main sims. Did you know if you get a mixologist they will make a:
    Mom-osa
    Parental Punch
    Terrible Twos
    Sparkling Water

    I think we may have had sparkling water maybe just the tonic water. But omg this is attention to detail. I don't think we got new foods but we got new drinks. Who knew?
    Check out my posts in the Ideas corner, and see the Simsverse living inside my head. :blush:

    I am really liking this so far, but I haven't gotten far enough to find any issues.
    I decided to just play test the house and finish it as I play it.

    So I needed a test sim.
    03-17-23_4-36-15_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    The whole shebang.
    And to start his family, he is going to need to find a wife.
    He met several sims at this gym.
    03-17-23_4-39-58_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    But it was Sophia Bjergsen that latched on to him.
    She kept dropping by the house.
    03-17-23_6-13-34_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    So I had her sleep over for a few days to get to know her better.
    03-17-23_8-17-58_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    After that, I had her move in and they visited Tartosa.
    03-18-23_9-04-43_AM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    To get married, because she's the one.
    03-18-23_9-05-23_AM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    And then they came home to build a tree house for kids they don't have yet.
    03-17-23_9-05-33_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Joel needs to get to work on advancing his career as a programmer.
    03-18-23_2-58-52_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Because they are about to have their first child.
    03-18-23_2-59-08_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    This is a great time to have Sophia's little sister stay over.
    03-18-23_3-00-13_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    What a perfect time to bond.
    03-18-23_3-01-16_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    This is a really good idea because their relationship was just at acquaintance level.
    03-18-23_3-04-14_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    There will be so many reasons to have a sim stay over.
    03-18-23_3-05-17_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    This a great time for Joel to get to know his new family.
    03-18-23_3-20-32_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    It will be a while before they have a child and a teen, so Elsa can test the room for now.
