and when it's a glitchy, buggy mess that freezes and crashes then what

 

Thankfully I've seen online that this team is more of a legacy team that's worked on a lot of good packs like Cottage Living, Growing Together, Werewolves etc. 

 

The other expansions are a newer team and no offence but their track record is terrible (Lovestruck, For Rent, High School Years).

It's overblown. It will feature images from base game and DLC but they won't be ads. 

Ooh that's good to know

Ooh those are definitely a tough sale lol

 

Horse Ranch turned out cute at least. I'd sacrifice HSY if it meant more budget / dev time for Horse Ranch.

All of the major youtubers are on EA's payroll so I try to avoid them

She needs to STFU and do 10 to 15 minute Sims 2 gameplays again

I know Castle Estates was fan voted last year but I just looked at the Life & Death build/buy and...

 

 

[poki]

Now that Cloudgaze / stargaze and a fire pit have been added to the base game, Maxis may as well just officially give us the entirety of Outdoor Retreat for free lol

 

All the 2015 DLCs should just be base game by now

The new world does not have seasonal effects.

Once again, modders proof that they're the lifeline of The Sims 4

How do you overlook seasonal effects in the new world… a feature of the game since 2018… seems fitting the game is the most successful corpse ever considering Life and Death

[poki]

Did the youtubers talk about this? I don't follow Maxis' bazillion Twitter accounts so I only discovered this yesterday on reddit.

According to a Simguru, this was a deliberate choice. They wanted Ravenwood to feel like it's suspended in time so they didn't bother with the weather progression. Seems like a poor excuse if you ask me

So glad I never played Sims 4 except the free base version on my cousin's Playstation like 2 times

The whole weather debacle in Ravenwood is so dumb. I get we should have a freedom of choice option (something that should have come with Seasons) but there are other worlds where the weather is static like Oasis Springs.

Sure they bullied SimGuruNinja off Twitter because of it, toxic fandom indeed.

I was overly dramatic about the seasonal stuff, Life & Death really seems good, best DLC since Horse Ranch. 

 

Did anyone notice the November Creator Kit promotional artwork feature a pink desk swatch that we don't have in the base game? Maybe another swatches update is upon us. 

 

[poki]

So now we have:

 

- Scenario guidelines 

- Aspirations

- Wants & Fears

- New Year resolutions

- Tarot cards

- Bucket lists

 

Should have reworked aspirations and fully replace it with bucket lists like I hoped they would. This is just as redundant as the youtuber career which exists in the base game and 3 (or is it 4?) DLCs under a different name.

Omg when your designer Sim is like "let's look at designs, how would you like the kitchen?" and your client is like "i loooooove skiing and and i hate rock climbing"

Yeah this is exactly what I mentioned in my post about "to do lists" and the live streamer feature: they constantly reuse the same concepts in multiple DLCs. 

 

The only type of social event that doesn't use the "traditions" menu is birthdays so bookmark me, we'll get a DLC that adds that menu for birthdays sometime in the future.

You have to know the interior decor and color likes / dislikes of every sim in the household and take all of that into account. 

And some items have tags for several decor styles and colors.

Some items don't have any tags at all for...some reason. 

If the game doesn't let you ask about decor or color, the sim doesn't have any preferences for it.

If they don't have any likes / dislikes, you can do whatever you want with the decor.

And if you by accident showcase an item that was already in the house and doesn't match the likes / dislikes, you can still fail the job.

 

Fun!
