Re: [OPEN] [GF] Celebrity husband acts like fan

Yeah. I hate this.

My sim's GF is a producer at the studios. They've known each other since my sim was doing soap commercials. Now she's got her first movie, she's a three-star, and suddenly her GF - One of her producers, remember, FFS - is peeing herself in public because of how famous her date is.

And I hate that my sim has that reaction with other celebrities, too. As Sir Paul says, Nobody is Beatle-proof... But, unless you're a Beatle, I - my sim, that is - I know you're just a schmuck with the same job I have, I know you exercise more than you want to, and talk to yourself in the mirror and all that. I should be able to talk to you like a human being.

That bit, I'm more forgiving of, really - I know a lot of celebrities still get star-struck around at least some other celebrities. So, while it may be nauseous, and not something I'm prone to, maybe that's just how she is. 

But people who see her every day - especially the person who sleeps with her...?  Come on.

  • I haven't played since I posted my last comment on this, actually.  ☹️

    I love the idea of the game, but the reality of it is just... well... nothing is perfect, but, imperfect to a bothersome degree. 

  • @crinrict- yes, yesterday.  I was playing one of my 'evil' households (Fri. 13th in-game, & Day of the Gnomes) , & my global-celebrity sim was in a nasty fight w/her celebrity spouse.  He was enraged; his anger-bomb had activated, he'd caught his wife flirting with someone else, & they were busy having a public scene.  After each mean interaction, the targeted sim would interrupt the queued actions to cheer his/her abusive spouse for abusing him/her.  Lost some or all of the queued actions thanks to the bizarre-but-ever-present cheering--it's so common for queued actions to get cancelled by EA-programmers idea of what's fun that I don't even mark it in my mind anymore.

    I stopped playing for 5 months or so, & started again a few days ago.  I had fun...once.  The other times I was struggling with bugs and bad design, particularly forced interactions with unwanted npcs whose programmed insertion into my gameplay caused my queued actions to drop.  So much NOT fun.  /shrug

    QA already has access to some of my savegames.  Play the Kjelson/Clancy family in the original desert-like neighborhood; have the adults fight each other in public & QA ought to see it happen.  If it doesn't at first--& I'd be surprised, 'cuz it seems to me it's 100%-occurrence in my game, persist; it'll happen.

    Sorry to sound disgruntled, but...every other Sims-game I've played, I've enjoyed a lot more than TS4.  The team went the wrong way on this one, for me, forcing more npc-interactions on me, & taking over my game instead of letting me play my rotational game my way.
