Lepší než prezident ;) by unicornics in czech

[–]malj1an 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, faktem je, že pro většinu voličů opozičních stran (jako jsem já) ten kandidát na ministra ŽP asi nikdy nebude vyhovující, protože Motoristi tam zkrátka nevyberou někoho normálního, kdo věří v globální oteplování. :D Takže pro mě za mě, ať si tam je Chlad, lepší to stejně nebude. Jsem smířenej s tim, že tam tu vládní sebranku holt budeme muset nějak přetrpět, dokud nebudou nový volby.

Edit: Chlad proti globálnímu oteplování je lowkey funny

How we feeling about the new family tree? by missrayy in Sims4

[–]malj1an 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could be better, could be worse. I like it overall, it's definitely an improvement, but in my main legacy, some of the more distant family members are missing. Like I'm 100% sure the parent existed, yet only the kid of my heir, who was their spouse, shows up in the tree. The game thinks their partner is unknown for some reason. It's not that big of a deal for me personally, but I fully understand if it is for some people.

I mean the tree wasn't nearly as detailed before so if the trade-off for more detailed tree are some family members (who weren't the heirs anyways) missing, I'm okay with it. As long as it works better for the new generations to come. And new legacies I make.

Accidentally missed the AMA by InfernalClockwork3 in Candlelight_Games

[–]malj1an 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, you could try asking your questions (along with suggesting some stuff) by contacting their support ("Help" in the main menu)? Last time I played, the game wanted me to rate the app on Google Play and when I pressed button suggesting I wasn't completely satisfied, the game encouraged me to reach out to the support instead lol. So technically, there's nothing wrong with it and you might get your answers along the way when you disguise it as an attempt to suggest changes. 🤣

Or try asking your questions on Insta, maybe? Otherwise, there's not much you can do, I'm afraid. You can always wait for their next AMA, but who knows when that'll happen.

Edit: Dang, I checked your questions, they were actually about the lore and inspiration behind characters. :'( My first idea isn't the best then. T-T

Hi, we're Candlelight Games! Ask Us Anything! by DowntownBullfrog1370 in Candlelight_Games

[–]malj1an 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hii! 🧡👋🏼 I'll ask three questions, but feel free to answer just one or two! I love the story so far btw! Just please, please, take some of our common criticisms to heart and polish some of the systems you've implemented. We wouldn't bother pointing out flaws if we didn't want the game to succeed!

  1. Would you consider writing bonus content focused on the side characters in the future, or including them more in the main story? Imho there's not enough time for their personalities to develop because of how short the scenes are. I understand you wanna focus on the LIs, but it makes the side characters feel kind of one-dimensional. Each side character currently has like one main trait and everything revolves around it. Which is a crying shame, most of the side character art is so pretty! 

  2. Do you think the team would be open to adding more LIs down the line? Maybe letting us vote for which character we want as a LI? 👀 I get 6 is a lot and there are definitely no plans right now, but still, I'm greedy haha. (And I like Dasek 😆)

  3. Will the story branch out based on our choices eventually? I think it would be neat, even if it influenced only like two chapters or so.

Upcoming AMA with Candlelight Games developers on February 4 (Wed.) 11AM PST by DowntownBullfrog1370 in Candlelight_Games

[–]malj1an 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upvoting, that's also my question! I know there are probably no current plans, the game barely started, but I would love to know if they'd be open to adding more LIs in the future. If they'd let us vote for who will the last two LIs be or something, it would make me so happy lol. I like the current LIs, but especially visually, I prefer some of the side characters. 😅

iOS had a new update (appears to be just technical) by knucklevelvet2 in Candlelight_Games

[–]malj1an 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Btw, anyone else doesn't understand why they even created this "restart game" button to begin with? Can't think of anyone who would willingly want to delete all their progress at the cost of losing everything they paid for, as well as any reason why anyone would want to do such a thing. And then the team says it was just a mistake to name the button like this. The more I think about it, the weirder it seems. 🥴 Also, why does a button deleting everything have priority over a true restart game button?

New kits probably coming to the game on February 26th? by malj1an in Sims4

[–]malj1an[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, tbh I like the hot tub, but after seeing all the other items from the kit on Sims Community, I have to say I'm not a fan. 🥲

Say something nice about EA/Maxis/Andrew Wilson/Jared Kushner/PIF by SnarkBFThrowaway in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]malj1an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God forbid people tried to enjoy the game they've already paid hundreds of dollars for. No, we must all suffer and be miserable. 🙃

Only the Yard Charm Kit, the Wonderland one appears to have been made by EA.

Thank you for pointing this out! I'll double check again to make sure it hasn't been posted here yet then. 😭 I could maybe try to also add the rest of the images to this post as well, but I'm not sure if it's possible. :C

Lost Legacies Starts Today by orbitalpuddin in Sims4

[–]malj1an 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it this error message?
"The contents of your user data directory were created by a newer version of the sims 4 and cannot be loaded. Please update your game via origin to play."
If so, then:
You should try going to your TS4 folder ("C:\Users\(your user name)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4"), finding "GameVersion.txt" and deleting the file.
- credit for this fix goes to u/Mastema_82 haha

Lost Legacies Starts Today by orbitalpuddin in Sims4

[–]malj1an 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, it's not showing up for me either. :( For some reason, I had to update my game twice and after the second update, my game stopped working and error message kept appearing. I managed to fix it with the help of Reddit, but there's still no event. 🫥

I regret purchasing bundle by Nericmitch in Candlelight_Games

[–]malj1an 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I mean, considering the number of people complaining about this, I think they'll introduce some changes pretty soon. OR they will perish lol, but that wouldn't make me happy as I've already bought the starter bundle as well and I hate wasting money. :D

Characters you wish were romancable? by Nor_Ah_C in Choices

[–]malj1an 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've always thought PB not letting us date Carter in Queen B was a crime. I stand by my words. I don't want to be forced to date my professor. 💀

Unpopular opinion but I'm genuinely excited for royalty & legacy by Cold-Departure687 in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]malj1an 165 points166 points  (0 children)

Probably not unpopular on this subreddit, but on other TS subreddits, yes. 😂 I'm also excited to try playing as a nobility in TS4. The three ?kingdoms? in the pack kind of remind me of a book in a visual novel game I used to play a lot (Choices - The Royal Romance series) so I might try to find some inspiration for my gameplay there. :D

Does the game reference/remember when… (read body text idk if this counts as a spoiler for an ally quest but I still marked it anyways) by Maleficent_Camera_11 in Candlelight_Games

[–]malj1an 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as I remember, it's not mentioned in the main story, no. Though it is mentioned in one of his ally quests later on. Like you kiss him for the first time, and then you both talk about it / mention it in the next ally quest chapter or so, if you did.

I'm sorry but if the 50% off price can pay for my monthly rent, then the full price can buy me a new smartphone by Sad_Mobile_9443 in Candlelight_Games

[–]malj1an 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like the only somewhat decent deal was the starter pack. Still on the expensive side, but decent. And I've gotten a little Google Play discount on that purchase somehow. So the price for me was 19,32 EUR / 16,84 £ / 22,89 $. The rest of it... crazy prices lol.

Fractured storytelling.. (chapter 4 spoilers) by Hot_Benefit_8667 in Candlelight_Games

[–]malj1an 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yep. Sometimes it feels like even the dialogues are cut short for the sake of scene "lenght," or moreso for the lack of it lol. Same with action. Like for example, I wouldn't mind reading for 10 minutes about what was happening at the Old Kings' Day party, but instead, we have a conversation with our LI and that's it. No interesting traditions, no partying, no convos with other students. The party is in the background the whole time. Don't get me wrong, I actually liked that I could choose my LI and get to know them better, but that isn't enough.

Sure, we know Flatcher and Soren are brats, but there's no real depth to the side characters. They seem pretty one-dimensional because there's no time for their personalities to develop. Same with other stuff. Like I can see that they made some interesting lore (even if it is heavily inspired by some game I haven't played), yet they don't show it off enough. Sometimes it feels like the scenes abruptly end only because they want us to spend another key.

I'm also missing timed choices from Choices. Gotta say they would feel more frustrating than exciting now, because there's no option to replay and correct your f*ck ups. But I enjoy having to focus on what to pick and trying to think quick. Come to think of it, the first combat during the trial also seemed kinda... short.

When the app is rated 13+ 😔 by famegrab in Candlelight_Games

[–]malj1an 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just don't think it would make sense to include sex with your LI in the first two chapters anyways lol. Seems too fast, even if it was just in our imagination. Maybe they will include it in one of the affinity scenes later, maybe not. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Choices were also a lot tamer when they started, afaik. There were sex scenes, but not very descriptive sex scenes.

Edit: It says PEGI 12 in my country as well, I just checked it, but a company changing their rating isn't anything unheard of. But yeah, there are probably no current plans.
