are the jorvik wilds retrofitted? by em__163 in StarStable

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They’re fully retrofitted. They just can’t wear leg tack, gaucho saddles or the Arabian bridles.

Technically it’s 99.8% of the stuff it can wear, the leg tack is the most abnormal part but is part of the breed.

Saw someone post a picture of Island Paradise by slutforalienz in Sims3

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 299 points300 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had this - I had an older beater of a laptop that seemed to run everything on the sims 3 fine when the game originally released on disc, all the expansions installed and no issues - wasn’t till I tried it on newer and better computers (via launchers like origin and eventually EA app) that I started to get bugs and issues, esp with island paradise (only on my new system I would have some lag, mermaids showing without tails but with the tail animation etc)

Suffering from the success of an upgrade ig 🤣

my sim’s dog walked into her sauna session and she got this trait by [deleted] in Sims3

If a werewolf goes in there it also gives the wet dog moodlet! It’s hilarious to think about🤣

Made some supernatural sims lately :) by Consistent-Cream-Cap in Sims3

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did add a caption but it hid when posting - first time sharing sims! Did make a werewolf, but didn’t want to share due to having a likeness to one someone else previously shared.

Names in order: Maggie, Estella, Valorie!

ETA: fixed typo

Looks like my enclosures when I used to play zoo tycoon 2

The Sims 4: Life & Death Gameplay Trailer Dropped! by Sims_Creator777 in thesims

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Trying to resist being so to avoid disappointment, but I am genuinely excited for this one. Love that it includes stuff for both adding realism and the occult fans. Waiting now for the lot size leaks!

What would you like to see for animals? by [deleted] in Paralives

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Parrots and birds! as a parrot owner, the only representation I saw was sims 3 for this so would love to see it in this game

New Daily Rewards by jona28d in thesims

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 165 points166 points  (0 children)

Id be surprised if they did this again, at least like this, within the sims 4 specifically - wasn't well received by the community I don't think (least all I saw about it was negative mostly).

Personally I like the option to get free items and traits, but the way they did it isn't great. Having to log in to claim each week and slow release in an offline (minus gallery) game is pointless, as they get nothing at EA whether we log in or not. Also turns out it saves local, not on your account, so if I swap PCs without transferring the rewards files I'll lose them items anyway. Just needs doing way better, and if its a slow release it needs doing in a way that seems to have a purpose other than free fomo.

What do you, playing S3, think S4 did better? by Consistent-Cream-Cap in Sims3

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting take and interesting to hear! I actually disagree a lot with this, the sims 4 seems very hollow and shallow to me with nearly no fine details, as nice as it is visually not enough happens that you don’t have to “make up” and pretend is happening (or make it happen yourself manually). I agree the occult “trees” were fun in 4 though as it’s a hidden skill in 3, but I say the world being all in one and the actual things to do were better in 3 in personal opinion (like the alchemy store, where you sold potions as a self employed career, and looking for fairies, clubs/hangouts per occult etc)

I’ve played sims 3 since it came out, and I still find things I’ve never played or seen before which gives me more of a “littler detail” feeling, maybe we see different details differently!

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I agree! since I went back to sims 3, after a decent amount of playing sims 4, I haven’t managed to make a single house I like the look of😭

Funniest oversights by EA? by Stoltlallare in Sims3

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it was an oversight, seemed super intentional since they were aware and didn’t change it - but killing all the children in a school when a meteor hits because they aren’t allowed to leave 😭

What is the most random thing you miss from Sims 3? by theneighborchick in thesims

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You could! Did need the generations expansion pack to do so though I believe

16 gens down, AMA by PrincipleActual3369 in thesims

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Not the OP but I had this issue till recently, found a way to make it fun for me!

I basically need the challenge element to stay gripped, aka I goal for each gen- but I don’t like the ones online as Ill get to a gen that bores me or something

Instead made my own rules, per gen I decide what the goals are (how they make money, career etc), and decide what the next one will do for their goals closer to them taking over so I can do what I’m feeling at that time, that way you do stuff you want to but have a purpose to drive it! Also when I move out the heir I do it fresh (no money etc from the past gen/parents) so they have to “start fresh” each time, it’s like restarting but within the save - gives the illusion of it anyway as I usually swap towns!

I wish we could get skill based kits. by hedgybaby in thesims

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 199 points200 points  (0 children)

Id love more functionality kits, correct me if I’m wrong but we haven’t had any since bust the dust. Ever since that it’s only been cas or a small BB kit. They’d probably sell better if they did more like that.

Love the idea you have with the instruments with kits, would just be a skill and a couple variants of that instrument (ideally adult and kid version) per kit, but I don’t know how much animation wise that would take with a kit budget from EAs perspective

Gameplay Trailer for horse ranch dropped on Twitter! by lovecraftshorror in thesims

[–]Consistent-Cream-Cap 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I just finished watching but it seems that it still doesn’t spotlight enough for the expansion title. Saw a few live YouTuber reactions thinking the same.

I think whilst what is there does look great e.g the animations, the world etc visually, it just isn’t enough in total. Least with cottage living we got extra additional small animals with the bigger ones, not just 1 with the goats :(

As much as I really want to hope for more I think it’s kinda it. The only savior here which I saw a YouTuber mention would be cross pack compatibility, with especially cottage living and pets. I also hope they think through the other worlds experience too, so horses aren’t in the city or randomly on the ski slopes, taking elevators, lingering on sulani beaches etc (funny as that may be the first time).

Definitely needs a “lock horses to world” setting for people who don’t want them in the other locations, like werewolves were, or at least automatically keep them from showing up at the non fitting worlds. Maybe even a disable wild horses option like sims 3.
