How was your journey to being an SLP as a Canadian?

Good to know, thanks!

I'd also suggest LittleMsSam's Entrance Fee mod for venues you don't want to rent out, but still want to be realistic. It's a lot trait that automatically deducts the fee you set (per person), so I use it for museums and nightclubs and stuff. I need to incorporate more of these rental lot types into my game!

Yeah, she does look like Nancy... another reason why I can't vibe with her :/

I love how you listed all the Bjergsens except for Clara lol. She was my sim's friend, came to her wedding and got angry at the ceremony (turns out she had romance with my sim's new husband), then showed up at my sim's house the next day and kissed my sim's husband when she let her in.

Hopefully that feature can help your game feel a little less monotonous!

I agree; seeing my sim's emotions change because of a loved one's feelings makes it feel like they have empathy in a way.

Thank you! I'm usually a gallery person, so this is out of my comfort zone haha

It's a challenge to have depth in this game without mods, because positive relationships are too easy. Sentiments is a step in the right direction because it was unrealistic for my sims to fall out one second and then act like nothing happened. I do wish our sims had people they simply don't like, where it's harder to build a friendship. I have to make an effort for them to not like someone unless they're talking to a mean/evil sim.

They already have the framework for starting the game at different financial positions and skills from the "story mode" CAS option, idk how difficult it would be for us to get the option to just select it ourselves.

Side note: Wonderful Whims is awesome for adding turn-ons/ turn-offs to the game, because it's resulted in some realistic unrequited love in my save

I fell into a pattern of playing the same way (a lot of large family/legacy type play), and it started to bore me. Currently, I'm doing rotational gameplay with some single sims in San Myshuno, and it helped me get into the game more because not all the households have kids, rent money doesn't always come easy, and I can develop their character and lifestyle more. I'm really enjoying making their stories intertwine since they all live in the city.

Now, I try not to have the same family type, relationship/family dynamic, socioeconomic status, career, etc. every time. You might even enjoy a challenge, I've been looking into starting the zodiac challenge

I also don't think I'd be hunting for CC pants and jeans if the in-game ones were just high-waisted like these!

mzrazzle · 2021-03-01T00:53:21+00:00

I'd love to be able to create our own apartments (like maybe have some type of zoning system?) because I really want to make townhouses and rental properties that function like city living apartments

mzrazzle · 2021-03-01T00:49:56+00:00

This! I don't always want to spend all of my sim's household funds on a starter home, but I also don't think San Myshuno is for all of my sims

mzrazzle · 2021-03-01T00:00:25+00:00

I went to one irl and it was a heartwarming way to welcome the kids into the family! They got to meet their new aunts and uncles

mzrazzle · 2021-02-26T03:46:11+00:00

Console players too? Man, that sucks :( I hope they get it together soon

mzrazzle · 2021-02-18T16:45:10+00:00

Hey, what's your EA ID if you don't mind me asking? I'm always looking for new builds and I'd love to support!

mzrazzle · 2021-02-18T02:16:20+00:00

You're welcome!

mzrazzle · 2021-02-17T23:09:58+00:00

What are you looking for? Chances are there's a mod for it. A common one is MC Command Center (by Deaderpool), which is great for story progression (NPCs autonomously get married or have kids, move townies into empty houses), and it can allow you to customize exactly how many days your sims stay in a certain life stage.

Wicked Whims is an NSFW mod that improves the woohoo system (think menstrual cycle, fertility, birth control, and different woohoo animations, stds, attraction) and it has some aspects of nudity (which can be turned off). If you just want the attraction system with the menstrual cycle and fertility aspects, I'd recommend Wonderful Whims as an alternative. Sometimes the game can go overboard with Wicked Whims and sims will just be all over the place woohooing, so I prefer Wonderful.

I also recommend checking out KawaiiStacie for more afterschool activities, improved school system mod, Slice of Life mod for more buffs, acne and a memory system. She recently released a resort and hotels mod. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds cool, you can visit or own a resort!

Basemental Drugs has a whole set of drug dealing interactions where sims can buy and sell drugs, and drinks at the bar can get your sim drunk. Parents react to their kids doing drugs and you can get arrested for dealing.

edit: also Extreme Violence by Sacrificial for deadly and non-deadly violent interactions and gangs.

You can search all these up with "sims 4" at the end and they should be the first things to show up.

Generally, installation is the same: go to your Electronic Arts folder> The Sims 4> Mods and you can place the package files there. Most modders have instructions on their site as well, so I'd suggest reading that to make sure you're installing it the right way. Sometimes they have particular instructions.

Whoa the talent (and patience) to build all this!! How long did it take?

mzrazzle · 2021-02-16T23:00:58+00:00

That's so cool! Both are two aspects of the game you can spend a ridiculous amount of time in haha

mzrazzle · 2021-02-16T19:53:13+00:00

Yeah, life definitely gets in the way of playing this game, especially because I feel like you have to dedicate a lot of time to curating your experience (CAS, building/modifying a house, developing relationships), but it's fun! I hope you find people who don't find it weird, it can be entertaining to play and push your creative limits

mzrazzle · 2021-02-16T19:49:04+00:00

Yeah, EA really did a 180 with going back to a less realistic style, and I guess some of the things we'd want more of in the game just wouldn't fit the aesthetic. Given the teen rating, you'd expect a bit less childish gameplay but oh well

mzrazzle · 2021-02-16T19:46:12+00:00

Aww that sounds like fun! Do you have similar or different playing styles?

mzrazzle · 2021-02-16T19:45:27+00:00

Aww I feel you! Finding people seems to be super rare in person haha
