After I bought Cottage Living I had a sims couple move in a cute pre-made house. I couldn't understand why they wasn't using half of the house! I finally put the walls up and could see that there wasn't any doors for them to access that HALF of it! I quickly added two archways but how does the person who built it forget to add doors themselves?!?

i wish it was even a bit consistent, for example it gives us options for posts based on the recent activities our sim did - and yet sometimes our sim is just randomly posting without our prompting (not even linked to the phone animation they do sometimes) and its all stuff they didnt do at all!!! the pillow fight posts are ESPECIALLY egregious; also the fact that while we cant open the app when our sim is sleeping, somehow the auto posting is still going on...

There's something that really drives me insane. They updated the Caliente household and didn't change their relationships, like HOW DUMB CAN THEY BE?! Didn't they see that we've complained over YEARS for that?! I'm tired of pretending there's some lore going on, and the worst part is, they've already updated them, they won't do it again, so we have to say thank you for a cosmetic makeover. And now they're teasing a Landgraab makeover, I'm soooo sure they'll forget about Johnny🤬
@beaniebazzz10 ай бұрын
I feel like this is just one good example of how lazily they do their updates. They always tease us and act like they're doing something amazing and they're spoiling us with updates. Then it's like this. One cosmetic household update per year without even updating relationships to match the lore. Rounded walls that are still almost unusable. Infants that are super buggy and joke on us, almost all the items are behind paywall. Strair railings update which they did resently which removes railings arbitrarily. The list is endless. So lazy. They could so easily do these things right, use simmers who have already fixed base game families/houses and would love to help, but no, they don't want to do even these basic cosmetic updates right.

9:27 The answer is they don't want to have to animate a sim opening and closing a lid on a bin, or stepping on a pedal to open and close the lid. It's too complicated for the people with millions (billions) of dollars available to figure out. The weird bin that zaps plates can get away with a lid and no animation since it's an unrealistic fantasy item in the game.

There are two neighborhood stories. Played households and unplayed households (if you click the unplayed tab when you go to manage households, you’ll see neighborhood stories aren’t global they have played/unplayed household settings separate -- thank god, cause I rotate a few families in the same save and I don’t want my families touched by neighborhood stories, but the rest can be). The settings in gameplay settings is the unplayed family settings. You can toggle it off/on from either there or manage households. So you can have neighborhood stories on for unplayed households and off for played households or the reverse…..or have them on for both. So that your unplayed sims go on having babies and getting/quitting jobs or whatever, but the character(s) and families you control won’t be like reproducing or quiting jobs when you are not playing them. Having unplayed families and played families settings different is really useful for playing multiple families in the same save file. Though it could do with better tuning, I don’t hate it. Keeps the world going without me playing everyone, but still able to protect more than one family from neighborhood story nonsense.

The neighborhood stories gives the option to enable/disable for your saved households and also for other households ... that way if you add a sim specifically to be, for example, a romantic interest they won't go off and get married to some random townie and interfere with the intentional story you're creating ... but the stories for townies/random npc's can proceed without having to go adjust the settings for each of the individual households that you want to include/exclude.

Yes, the randomness of finding objects is very annoying…I never thought about the ‘bins’ aka trash cans, not having lids. Especially when Pets (or Cats and Dogs, whatever) came out…I mean, all of ours have lids because dogs love to dig in there and pull out things that will either kill them or cause a total mess all over the house (we had a dog once who was obsessed with Kleenex, napkins and paper towels…and he was smart enough to figure out how to get the bin open…and spread a thousand little shreds of the above all throughout the house…sigh. Yes, we checked with the vet, health fine, normal quirky dog stuff…we used to say he needed extra fiber in his diet.) Anyway, love what you do, if people don’t speak up, nothing will ever change, and you’re humorous and fun, not a whiner…you keep doing you!!!

Neighbourhood stories... I disable all adoptions and moving out. With no adoption, I get a LOT less families of 8 in a house with only one single bed. With no moving out, I avoid those empty houses stripped from their furniture. That Get Famous «rug» and it's unrelated swatches is used in the studio for the Actor career. They are used to decorate the stage. Often, a smaller plain window will cost more, probably a lot more, than a huge stained glass window. Same for the doors. And, what about the wall papers...

The items in build/buy not being organized properly is something I've noticed immediately. Just got Sims 4 on my PlayStation since it's free, and like? I wanted a small round table to set by a window, but it wasn't in the coffee table section. It was considered a dining table, and I find it similar to rugs and lighting as well, as you said. Had to go through the normal rugs to find a bath mat, and maybe it's just me, but I used the search bar for "bath mat" and it wouldn't work? Regardless, when I'm building, I ALWAYS hit "show all", because while it's annoying to sift through beds and benches to find a chair I want, at least I'll find it instead of being frustrated that it was stuck in living room chair rather than dining room. 🙃

I love neighborhood stories in one save I found out that Lily Zhu the werewolf has adopted a few Landgraab children. When I play I want a mod and can see the townie's family tree instead of finding their household and loading in to see how far the family tree has expanded.

Ya know, someone should make a mod that revolutionizes the build/buy catalog so that everything gets sorted properly. I'd do it myself if I knew how to code. Or has someone already basically done this? If so, please link it for me so I can download it!

We lost the lid to our trash can so we do have an open bin in the kitchen and bathroom lol. We just don't put stinky stuff in it until it's the morning we're taking the bag out to the curb to be collected lol.

Neighbourhood stories are broken for me. I've made a (terrible lol) story about a vampire having 30 children with a lot of differents townies. I wanted the 30 children having children on their own with a partner, to see the genealogic tree growing up. But instead, NONE of them got married or moved with their partner, they only had adopted children. It really was a waste of time aha... i delete that files bc of frustration lmao

Pretty sure NS doesn’t include marriage or merging of households… you still have to do that manually.

stories need at least some triggers, for example a sim with a bf/gf can call you to ask if they should accept a proposal, also consequently they need to be fully fledged married in order to call you to ask if they should try for baby (regardless of same sex or different sex partnership). i think this holds true in general for stories even if your currently played sim isnt familiar with all of them

@@ladyarmourlapras Babies/adopting is absolutely included in neighborhood stories. Marriage & moving in together isn’t. And I thought that “found a ring” call came with a particular pack - it’s supposed to be base game? I’ve never had that happen. When I see people get it in let’s plays, it seems to just set the relationship to engaged and not progress to married….

I think birth and adoption are triggered at least somewhat to balance out the population. One of my played sim households had twins and another had a single kid and I notice more townie babies as well scrolling through my unplayed households. And I have pretty stringent neighborhood story settings. Assuming everyone grows up mormal pace, it seems to be making sure other same-age sims are around so if you have no married families, the game will likely trigger adoption. Don’t know what if any logic is applied to pet adoptions. I usually grab a few married couples from the gallery and pop them into households thrn mark them as unplayed so the game can take it from there.

If you’re not on console, MCCC does so much of a better job at this than neighborhood stories. It’s too bad EA doesn’t just make those tools part of the base game, but they are so paranoid it will give players enough options to skip a pack they can’t do it

To be honest, for as much as people love blaming things on EA, all of these are entirely the fault of the developers. Just bad management period.
@joyfulgirl9110 ай бұрын
EA is in control of who those people are so that’s who is to blame. If EA continues to employ them, they are doing their work properly and EA has the wrong goals for them
