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.

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!

Hair Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I haven't had a chance to play L&D, but I did hop on for an hour or two the other night to blitz out the Reaper's Reward challenge before it ends, I didn't want to miss out on the limited time stuff Might play this weekend as I've seen that it's one of the best EPs they have developed, and Ravenwood looks great.

Make your sim cook hamburger cakes and fruitcakes and you'll max out the required culinary skills within 1 IRL hour Bucket lists >>>> Aspirations and Wants & Fears. Too good to be a DLC feature. 1
poki Posted November 7 Posted November 7 PokiNews Update: - InZoi early access delayed to March 2025 - There is no scheduled release date for Paralives - Will Wright reveals new game powered by AI 1
poki Posted November 7 Posted November 7 I've seen a lot of "Even heavily modded Sims 2/3 isn't fun anymore" type of posts online lately and respectfully, I think if Sims 2/3 isn't fun for you, it's a you problem, not a Sims problem. 5
Bloodflowers. Posted November 7 Posted November 7 The amount of time I wasted stargazing and searching for UFOs in one of my nerd Sim household only for him to finally get abducated by aliens and then returned back without being impregnated with an alien baby, OHHH WILL WRIGHT WHEN I CATCH YOUUU Anyways, just moved in a Bigfoot in my household. The only thing left for me is to get a werewolf sim, a plantsim, a vampire sim and a witch sim, as well as build my own robot sim prostitute and then I will collect all of these uncommon Sims (not the in same household, but in the same 4 family apartment lot so they can all hangout and be besties as I change households between them) 3

Bloodflowers. Posted Saturday at 11:35 AM Posted Saturday at 11:35 AM The amount of cool content that was cut! I kinda think Power aspiration is similar with Fortune aspiration, that's why it got cut out. The electricity outage and rain being initially part of the Sims 2 base game but were cut because they couldn't figure out in time how to make it rain without raining on the inside house in time Wish they added electricity outage in Seasons tho, oh well... Here's Sims 2 open world mod that works as best as it can for a Sims 2 game (remember Open World wasn't initially coded in their program so it's difficult to execute it properly. They used a mod that allows community lots and residentual lot with apartment houses used in 1 lot as well as roads. I think if they can figure out how to make bigger lot sites, they could make a great open world but only limited to 4 families in it cause of apartment life limits. You could still use more houses that would get occupied by NPCs tho.) Ughhh, if only they released remastered Sims 2 same game but open world and customization of colors in clothes and objects 1

I have a theory the reason why the Sims 2 Store had so many glamorous outfits was because those were for that DLC. There was meant to be another aspiration called Crafter which had all its wants added to Popularity. That's why Popularity sims love creativity (low key a genius move, you have to put yourself out there and be charismatic if you want your art to be known). There's also a cancelled lifetime want related to aliens, still exists in the code. And apparently this exists in the game code too: 1

Sims 3 Late Night was basically Nightlife 2.0 but they added the concept of celebrity DLC with 5 stars popularity there! Oh, Crafter sounds dope! Those wants and fears aspirations are so cool because I always play the game based on aspirations I feel like making! I try avoiding fears as much as possible except if my romance Sim has a fear of having a baby, but I need every Sim to have at least one child to pass down generation and be in my family tree once they are long gone ----- New video just dropped!! 1

Let's discuss atrl Here's how I came up with these theories Brandi: In the Sims 1, Cassandra exists and goes to school while Brandi is nowhere to be found. 25 years later in the lore, Brandi exists. Thus realistically Brandi could at most be 24 if she was born to the Newbie family. But somehow has a ~16 years old son, Dustin. Cassandra has 26 days to become an elder. Brandi has 22 days to become an elder. So she is older than Cassandra. Daniel & Cassandra: Sims 1 day-one edition had 3 kids in the playable households: Daniel & Jenny who are brother and sister, and Cassandra. If you add Unleashed, you get Johnny too. Johnny + Jenny seems intended based on their names, which leaves Daniel + Cassandra. Sims lore is super for me 1

Sims lore is super for me That actually makes a lot of sense for Brandi, I can't believe I didn't think of it before. Also isn't it strange that Cassandra is best friends with Mary-Sue who is a lot older than her. Her memories say they were childhood friends but Mary-Sue would've been a teen when Cassandra was a child. I guess it's still possible but it just seems odd that she didn't have any friends her age, Jennifer would've made more sense. The inconsistency with ages between the games is really interesting to me. For instance Michael Bachelor is described as being fresh out of college in TS1 yet his younger sister is married with a child. I think it would've made more sense if Michael was a toddler in TS3 and a deceased adult in TS2 (they even could've alluded to Dina having killed him off, rather than him dying of old age). Also where the hell are my girls Chris and Melissa Roomies at? Bring back the scissor sisters Maxis, I beg! 1

Sims 1 doesn't make family relations between Bella and Michael so I assume that was a random "ooh what if they were related" moment the devs had all of a sudden for him. Sims 3 lore is the worst, the maid Daniel has an affair with exists in that game. Which means she should be at least 50 years old in Sims 2. I like to believe this recent artwork for one of the new DLCs is meant to be Chris and Melissa I actually used that exact hairstyle for my version of Chris last year!
poki Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago This is all from promotional artwork released throughout 2024.
poki Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I thought today marks 5 years of Discover University but it was actually October 21. The last pre-COVID expansion. It really was a different world back then. I like to spend 1 or 2 sim weeks on campus with 1 or 2 courses each semester, then cheat a diploma. Actually a lot of cool stuff in this DLC, low key top tier.
