Be careful with the Steamy dynamic. Your sim will have "Thinking about partner" autonomous interaction. It's annoying because it will happened when your sim is sleeping resulting your sim waking up multiple times throughout the night.

[@kapsican]

12:56 the picnic itself does work without the picnic basket as well. just click on the blanket and select one of the options. if you meant that in order to have a "real" picnic with both a blanket and a basket you need both packs, then I agree. but when I first discovered that the basket slots to the blanket I was actually excited, cross-pack compatibility is always a win in my book

[@SineN0mine3]

Cottage living is already one of the few good packs, it would have been easier for EA to just include the basket as part of this pack so everyone could use it. They had to go out of their way to make sure players who don't have that pack can't use that feature. Nobody is buying cottage living just for the picnic baskets, it would have been nice if they just included it as an incentive to buy the new pack. I don't think every new pack has to include every old pack feature, but when there's obvious crossover like this they should include relevant features from other packs for players who can't afford to buy $2,900 worth of DLC. At this point they should be happy that anyone is still buying it... Would anyone feel like they weren't getting their money's worth if new players got one or two features in this pack instead of the oack you got them in? I seriously doubt it.

[@kapsican]

@SineN0mine3 I completely understand your point, however, the same thing can be said from the perspective of the people who already own the pack. in the end, these cross-pack features are like easter eggs for the players who own both. but imagine how they would feel if they bought the pack for a specific feature, only to then see it included in another pack. this happened with the hot tub a couple years back, an item that people bought a specific pack for, only to then get it for free (plus in more packs now). in this specific example, the picnic basket doesn't gain or loose any functionality, it just slots to this item, much like it would to a picnic table. the blanket also doesn't loose or gain any functionality, as you can have a picnic without the basket just as well. so this compatibility is just nice to have but not at all necessary. and hey, cottage living is a great pack to have, and so is lovestruck. if you get them on sale you could have a great gameplay experience for a bargain. and that's what it's ultimately about, having fun with it. hope you do too!

[@Leviachan-]

Fianlly! They added turn on and offs back! It was one of my favorite character things in the sims 2 lool!

[@whiteglovian]

Sadly Sims can't prefer bodytypes anymore. I understand why, "times have changed" or whatever, but I have Sims I'd imagine would prefer heavyset, thin, or muscular Sims and it feels kind of immersion breaking that we got Outfit Colors instead

[@Me-jx1mo]

@@whiteglovian at least something that would make more sense like hair colour instead of clothes

[@slwrabbits]

The sims 2 turn on/off system resulted in every premade couple having zero attraction to each other - or even worse. Even if I tried to deliberately alter them to fit the other sim in the couple, they never managed to hit it off.

[@whiteglovian]

@@slwrabbits You need to use SimPE to fix that. Even if you're not a modder SimPE is basically mandatory for every Sims 2 player to learn unless they don't mind save corruption.

[@LonelyLoo281]

i think you really wanted the cake dancers and to be honest they wouldve been such a great thing to have

[@Dovima1]

they need to start adding animations for specific objects instead of using that basic default animation sims use for everything 😭 the one abi pointed out during the axolotl section of the video (i also don’t like how they pull out a motherboard looking tablet and start fixing it for every electronic device in the game… i miss my sims having to pull the tv and work on the back of it 😭)

[@Dovima1]

the tablet is also used for too.. idk why its so hard for a triple A to deliver such tiny yet immersive details.. i mean i do know why. we are talking about EA at the end of the day

[@armybird8887]

Evil Sims should be able to sell the Axolotls What's the point of putting the "Sell" button there if you can't even use it? Hopefully someone makes a mod for this.

[@alvinjy4860]

Wow I agree, that's a small detail. And maybe they could get playful moodlet from that or even caught👀, which need to pay for the fine like 1000§🤣

[@eryptina]

4:19 I think that it's a reference from a tiktoker who had a axolotel and most of their videos were about drawing things on the aquarium's glass (like mustaches, for example) so it looked like the axolotle looked like if it had a mustache, in this case.

[@SineN0mine3]

I'm so glad they're adding tik tok references instead of fixing the dozens of broken packs they've already sold us.

[@docette2015]

Okay, I was really unsure about getting this pack (as I already had mods that did a lot of this), but I have to admit, the sweetheart box looks cute, I like the picnic blanket (though yes, it's embarrassing that we need TWO packs to have a picnic on a blanket), and some of those phone calls and the Ring Bear thing look pretty amusing. XD I dunno if it's enough to sway me, but -- we'll see.

[@aaly.aaly.oxenfree]

You don't need both packs to have the picnic. It works without the basket from Cottage Living, but they added the cross pack compatibility by creating a place for the basket to slot if you DO choose to bring it.

[@dominic.h.3363]

The dialogue options convinced me that this expansion is attempting to parody Sims mockingly. It also convinced me that the development team was replaced by new people who don't know the first idea how to create content. One of the most important things about making your product last is that you do not introduce language that is inherently temporary. I'm sure "rizz" will age well...

[@SineN0mine3]

I'll starting paying for EA games again when they fix Eco Lifestyle or Discover University. Been waiting a bit too long for those to become playable. You can't play either as intended without cheating constantly to trigger the gameplay that's supposed to happen. I want to play the game, not shift click my sims and set their stats and spawn rewards but if those cheats are the only way to get them, it feels like a waste of time to put the time in. Let's not even talk about Bust the Dust. At least Highschool years has some cool items because it's not annoying at all to have to click "send sims alone" to highschool every single day because actually attending with them is a surefire way to get expelled. I'm glad they finally managed to figure out to implement events without causing the game to crash or break every time but there's still a LOT of work that needs to be done to consider any of this game as passable.

[@dominic.h.3363]

@@SineN0mine3 At least you are able to pinpoint your issues to specific EPs. I still don't know why the game suddenly decides randomly that from now on, it refuses to path sims through certain doors. No obstacles, no permissions, the doors worked fine, then at one point, they don't.

[@Emilywang1405]

Another one : In the woohoo motel , if your sim dresses up in a costume , there will be different woohoo interactions

[@joaohenriques3872]

the thing is , why there is auto break ups, when sims don't cheat on partner autonomous, I would have to do it manually and intentionally put the other sim in front of it to get caught. I would love to have some randomness and more autonomy and not directed autonomy and complete control if I want some chaos or drama.

[@SineN0mine3]

If you have neighbourhood stories turned on they will, but I don't recommend it because it's literally random. Your whole game will be overflowing with NPCs and pets in about two sessions of gameplay.
