video game The Sims | Businesses & Hobbies expansion; inZOI early access

[Bloodflowers.]

Y'all I just saved my game in the middle of gameplay, a black screen appeared suddenly and then when it went back to game, the graphics got worse. This game is already crashing on me, and I don't even have any packs yet... just the base game since Christmas 

[Bloodflowers.]

Just purchased City Living, Cats & Dogs and Seasons for 48 euros!!

Ooh, could it be your computer specs? Laptop Mode will make the game look like trash worse but help a lot with performance.

Since I putchased packs, my graphics got worse. Then next time I opened tge game I went to setting options and clicked on graphics to be "high" since they were set on "medium". I avoided "ultra" just in case. And it worked great again.

 

Then next time I opened Sims 4 my graphics got bad again but I was only in the game lobby, I went to check options and they were still set on high so I simply closed before entering new game and re-opened Sims 4, then my graphics got good again and I resumed my gameplay

We need a flat screen TV that's 4 tiles wide. 

 

You can't even buy 90% of the ancient TVs in this game IRL anymore.

So far, so good! Although I am TIRED of entering then exiting the game because their graphics are terrible after I first load up Sims 4 

 

 

My family is living in an apartment so I am annoyed I can't decorate anything for Halloween and Christmas, thankfully I can grow my money tree because earning money through job and promotion is SOOOO HARD like it's real life. Just when I earn enough money to buy myself a cute comfortable bed, bills come in where I have to pay to almost bankrupt levels

There's a roof type in base game (one of the corrugated metal types) that can more than double your bills. 

 

One time I had an empty starter home with $1,500 weekly bills thanks to this roof, maybe I still have it in my library somewhere

I just moved my oldest daughter to a house in that empty third world (Newcrest?) that I downloaded from library. I put all houses so my neighborhood isn't empty, but those houses are too much expensive for me to afford

 

Now I adopted a puppy, but I need to find myself a man and have two kids. Since it's a 20 x 15 sized lot, I don't have much space (the house is small but PACKED and still affordable starter home). They already have a room with 2 beds (one over the other) but I don't have any space for baby/infant/toddler beds ksksksksk I guess they will be living in the living room till they grow old enough

 

Anyways, how can I get twins? And why is every baby I birth are always girls so far?

Strawberries will make sims have girls and carrots make them have boys 

My first ever Sims 4 family had twins so it's random. 

 

Yeah the 15x20 lots are really hard to work with, I usually use them for sims' first retail stores.

The animations is what got me obsessed when the game first came out. The sims are so expressive in this game.

I guess I will have to eat carrots cause I envision her to have to two boys after her has a sister (I might change to her as well when she gets older, I created a big gap between them since she was birth during early young adult stage life while her sister got birth during mid adult life stage 

 

Also I was annoyed when my Sim would wash dishes in bathroom, I later discovered option to set sink as kitchen or bathroom as I was clicking on it but I figured that was an update fix that came like 2 years after game, little did I know you had this problem with the game for 9 and half years until they fixed it in December 2023

The Christmas event ends January 10th and a PlayStation sale until January 18th so based on their history, January 21st at the minimum 

 

And I think they will most likely do a Valentine's event with more missions so I feel like 2 cosmetic $5 DLCs is what we'll get.

Looks like we are getting a kit on January 16th in collaboration with lilsimsie.

Edit: didn't read properly… MULTIPLE kits coming

Some info and images have been posted on X...

Do people deadass waste 5 bucks on kits when you can download custom content for free?

 

 

Anyways, does anyone know any good expansion packs giveaways I can sign on to? I really really REALLY want to get Snowy Escape pack ASAP 

 

 

[PokiTails]

Base game already got very underrated items for a gamer room so I'll pass unless it's void critter themed.  

 

Sanctuary? Sounds like bathroom stuff. Base Game got a lot of that already. If it's a new bedroom set, I'll buy it.

 

Casanova Cove sounds like Lovestruck leftovers. This one is probably those fancy outfits that got leaked by Sims Community last year. Some really nice heels and suits in deep bold colors in that leak. I'd buy this in an instant

Most of the stuff I find online seems to be either Barbie vomit or bland beige. Miniscule crumbs for guys. 

 

And no one makes Ratchet & Clank themed swatches so I have to make them for myself

Okay, but what about free giveaways?

 

 

[Bloodflowers.]

 

 

We are soooooo getting these useless bands and fairies packs that no one asked except for loud minority losers. Who normal would waste money on this? 

 

 

They better be game packs instead of expansion packs. In terms of actual expansion packs that silent majority wants, we need pre-teen stage life (where they can have first crush emotions, being annoyed or embarrassed when talking with their parents, hand love letters to crushes, a bunch of playground stuff... call it Sims 4 Discover Middle School Years if they want to rip us off with another education expansion pack), more city worlds with penthouses (apartmemts come with For Rent, so they need to give us a bunch of penthouse lots where we can build apartments if we have For Rent), a safari world where we would have elephants, crocodiles, lions, something new and unique but interesting (if EA could deliver proper gameplay with it and without bugs). A hotels expansion pack, inspired by South American world. A medival expansion pack and while where at it, EA could be really greedy and make Back to 70s, followed by Back to 80s, followed by Back to 90s, followed by Back to 2000s and then end it with Into the Future in 2036 as the final expansion pack for Sims 4 as they prepare to launch Sims 5

I've seen a lot done by the famous youtubers and on Twitter 

But you got to really hunt for them so I gave up on that. Usually when a new DLC comes out they do it.

Fairies would definitely be a game pack.

Bands tho...we have air guitar animations, karaoke animations / vocals, choreography, DJ stuff, a fame system and crowd animations from the Bebe Rexha event so all we need is just drums and an electric guitar. It's like they wanted a bands DLC since day 1 but can't get approval for it so throw in crumbs across different DLCs to eventually indirectly create it. 

 

My main dreams atm is customizable skateboards, the poker table, model train sets, arcades and comic book stores. Dorky 90s stuff basically lol.

[PokiTails]

They released a new list of bugs they plan to fix and I have never encountered them nor was I aware they exist.
