  • A wonderful excuse to create a beautiful place just filled with romance
  • If we go to France don't forget the fields of Lavender. Make sure it looks right and smells good. Lavender smells quite strongly. Harvestable for Soap & Hand Creams , candles, laundry additive, perfume, and food (Herbs de Provence and Ice Cream come to mind). Rosemary and Thyme is very necessary too.

  • The nectar should have blends - Elderberry Nectar?

  • Still so much to do. :D
    I won't this game to be finished so I can mod it in peace, but it can still go on for years because it still needs more features.

    Awesome list.
  • The most important refresh for me would be, that if you had both Seasons and Outdoor Retreat that Maxis could add thermostats to the purchasable items in the booth or at least add them to all the rentable housing available in OR.

    I could add them to the Sims' family inventory before going but keep forgetting and going in and adding them to property there is annoying! (I have a lot of Saves)!
  • great list! i'd settle for doorbells and no more deaths from covid.
