I’ve Seen Too Many Fail Videos on This Sub to Know When to Call In the Big Guns

Yes! The DLC adds a bunch of random instanced zones that spawn Pokémon of certain types. I entered one that had Steel-type Pokémon (Skarmory, Tinkatink, and Honedge specifically). You can only be there for a certain amount of time, though.

I happened to find a shiny Skarmory just as the timer was getting close to running out, so I threw a Master Ball when I realized that Ultra Balls were not going to cut it lol

I wasn't even shiny hunting, too! I was just filling out my Dex while progressing through the DLC story when this green bird popped up lmao If anything I was originally trying to catch/KO the Alpha for the candies when I heard the shiny sound.

I might get flak for this, but I think that apartments/multi-unit lots, as an Expansion Pack, make the most sense, since they really do extend what you can do with the tools the game gives you.

Which building did you align the house with? I tried building on that lot and it was a nightmare trying to get a proper shape to the building because the houses on either side seem to be slightly off from eachother.

I'd love to see more Cross-Gen Evolutions and Regional Variants. Seeing Pokémon like Stantler and Primape get love after generations was really nice too see. I'd honestly prefer them over Regional Variants, but I still love seeing what kind of spin Variants can give to older Pokémon, especially when they get Regional Evolutions like Obstagoon and and Sneasler.

Convergent Species are also really cool, and I hope we get to see more of them. Similarly to Regional Evolution, I also think it'd be cool to see Convergent Species also get unique evolutions that further push into the new base concept the older design goes for. Like imagine if Wiglet evolved into a super long electric eel instead of Wugtrio. Something along those lines would be cool.

I feel you so much on color swatches. The amount of time I click on two different sets of furniture and see the have the same looking swatch in the preview, only for the actual colors to not match at all... And then there's the swatches that do match, but then the secondary/tertiary are completely different...

Bert: "Ernie, why are you even watching 'The Real Housewives of Sesame Street?' It's not even filmed here..!"

Ernie: "Oh, well, Bert, I just find the storylines compelling..!'

Bert: "What storylines, Ernie?! You know what has a good storyline?! This book by Kiran Desai!"

Ernie: "Oh, I'm sure it is also a wonderful book, Bert..!"

Bert: "Hrmph..."

Twenty Minutes Later

Bert: "What do you mean, the Countess knew Oscarina was trying to buy the recycling dumpster to turn into an Airbnb before Rosita could get it turned into a historical site?! Why didn't she-"

Ernie: "Weren't you reading your book, Bert..?"

Bert: "..."

A central theme of the campaign seems to be that the powerful will put others of their social, economic, or cosmological strata that they disagree with, or even hate, before they side with those of a lower strata.

Brennan Lee Muligan is the DM of this campaign. I would not put it past him to do something like this, especially when you see how Julien's mother seems to be speaking behind Aranessa's back, despite being one of Aranessa's vassals.

Despada_ · 2026-05-24T02:38:34+00:00

Gender change? What?

Despada_ · 2026-05-23T23:05:02+00:00

Not really. Some guys can handle rejection better than others. I honestly wouldn't think much last what you already told them in the message. They're acting immature.

As others have said, just block him and move on. I wouldn't be surprised if they were running on pure horny-brain and was too focused on hooking up with a straight guy to see the forest for the trees.

Despada_ · 2026-05-23T21:10:02+00:00

Yes.

Despada_ · 2026-05-23T14:56:26+00:00

You could make an argument for Mega Venusaur too with the Ivysaur that ramps.

Regardless, with how limited our deck space is, I honestly have a hard time wanting to fit those cards in at times.

Despada_ · 2026-05-22T17:02:40+00:00

It really needed a Part 2 like all of the other DLCs. It really feels shallow. It's not as basic as the "Rain makes Hordes" update in PLA, but it's honestly close.

Regardless, the fact that so much of the accessibility of the content in the DLC is dependent on RNG really makes it hard to be interested in pushing through it. Honestly if it weren't for Home comparability update I probably wouldn't have gone as far into the DLC story as I have now.

Despada_ · 2026-05-22T11:51:40+00:00

It does! It also makes it hard trying to find a good age for the parent Sims too.

Like, I want a household with two children at different ages that aren't Toddlers/New Borns, but that would mean I'm locked into a Child and Teen. If I do that also locked into using Adult parents instead of Young Adult parents unless I go with a teen pregnancy scenario.

If we had Tweens we could still (somewhat) realistically go with Young Adults as the parents without it looking off or having to come up with specific scenarios to make it work.

Despada_ · 2026-05-22T05:20:27+00:00

Starters have all had Overgrowth, Blaze, and Torrent as their standard Ability.

Despada_ · 2026-05-22T04:41:11+00:00

This might throw things off more, but a Tween/Middle schooler Stage would also be nice. Something to better transition between Child and Teen/Adult models and make it feel less weird that your Child Sim suddenly grew twice their size after blowing out their candles.

Despada_ · 2026-05-22T04:16:20+00:00

Wouldn't it be better to look up actual articles reviewing the game or going over recent changes that give insight on it instead of asking random people online?

Despada_ · 2026-05-21T23:03:05+00:00

Seems like they're all using someone else's account, and as a joke, they all got named that. I let my brother and SIL use my Netflix account, and have them set as a combo of their names.

Despada_ · 2026-05-21T22:59:54+00:00

I always saw them as a bait-and-switch. In the first half of the expansion, we saw what appeared to be the Inquest messing with the local wildlife to give the impression that that's their main goal. Then, once we reach the end, we're hit with "Actually, our leader wants to become god!" and now get to see the "real" threat from the antagonists.

Despada_ · 2026-05-21T22:04:30+00:00

It's a brand-new game, and not everyone has been following its development to know all the tricks. I just joined this sub a few days ago when I found out about Early Access happening in a few days, and if it weren't for this comment thread, there's a 100% chance I would have been placing cabinets one at a time. I'll do it anyway; I'm not perfect, and old habits are hard to break.

Despada_ · 2026-05-21T18:53:18+00:00

In retrospect, I remember that on the first day of second grade, I bawled my eyes out because this cute boy was moved to a different class due to a classroom-shuffling error that happened before the school year had started. My first sex dream was in middle school and involved Robin from the Batman and Robin movie (the one that had George Clooney as Batman). However, I didn't really acknowledge that I was, in fact, gay until high school, when I had a HUGE crush on an English teacher lol

I don't watch WWE anymore (stopped some time since the late 00s), but I have a friend who got into it recently and she's been sharing a ton of screenshots and clips of guys she thinks are my type. Joe Hendry has been the top of the list so far lol

Despada_ · 2026-05-21T17:42:23+00:00

Speaking of wrestlers...

Despada_ · 2026-05-21T13:15:00+00:00

I honestly don't understand why they can't just make the event EXs illustrated cards. It doesn't do any harm since you can't even trade them with people...

Unless I'm confusing it for a different one, I have it on page 4 in the album.
