@sailorleontine , wow! That is amazing that we rank the versions of the Sims in the same way! 😮😎 Yes, I do like a bit of realism in the game. Not exactly a fan of laundry in the game, though I do love the Laundry Day SP for the CAS and B&B items that it has! I would have been satisfied with just decorative washers and dryers! 😅 That way we could have realistic looking houses without being bothered to have to do laundry all the time. 😉 When I actually want to use the laundry features, I prefer the wash tub and clothes line, because it is more different than what I do in real life, and I like the soap bubble animations!
But, I love families in the game, and like realistic things like helping kids and teens with their school projects (thanks to Parenthood), and watching toddlers learn to speak and use the potty on their own. And I love gardening in the game! most of my households have at least a small garden. So there are a lot of realistic day-to-day things that I enjoy having my Sims do, in addition to all the whacky things ! 😄 So, I am really excited for the High School Years EP that is coming soon! 🙌
@daikoyu , yes, I think at the very earliest we would have to wait a year, but even that seems too soon because of them just releasing Werewolves! Especially since they only have been releasing only 1 EP and only 1 or 2 GP's for the last couple of years, when they used to release 2 EPs a year in the past. So I agree it will be some time before we get any supernatural Sim pack !
While it didn't bother me about Sims 3 Fairy wings always being shown, I understand why you would hope that we had the option to hide them. But the way all the other supernatural Sims in TS4 have disguises/2 forms, it seems to be the way they are doing things now, so I would be surprised if Fairies didn't also have 2 forms/the ability to hide their wings! 😉
I did get rid of all my Mods/CC in TS3 because of the lag and problems that I had. While it did help some, by the time I had done that the game was bigger and even more laggy. I also didn't know who to trust for technical issues and if the fix required additional money or technical knowledge that I didn't have to implement, then I couldn't have fixed it anyway. Apparently, there were some Mods that would have actually helped the game perform better, but I didn't know that then!
But, that still wouldn't have helped with the empty open world problem that you and I hated! 😫 If I was trying to get my Sim to meet someone not in their family by taking them to a public place like a club, park, library, etc, nobody would be there. I would wait forever and by the time someone finally showed up, by Sim would either fall over asleep, or pee themselves, or have to go to work (not having taken care of their needs)! I hated it! 😭 And yes, I had plenty of CC in TS3, but don't have any in TS4. I prefer the looks of the Sims in TS4, so I totally agree with you on that! 😅
@valohim666 , Navi!!! 🧚♀️💗🤣 I'm playing OOT for the first time and am stuck at trying to get the large quiver. I have seen Let's Play playthroughs of it before and I know there is a Giant Poe hunt coming up and I have great difficulty aiming the bow in that game even when not on horseback (I did not have as much trouble aiming the bow in TP, SS, LA, or BOTW!). But I always have Zelda music in my head! 😅🥰 I was thinking that if we got a Fariy pack in TS4 , that I would make a Navi, as well as Tattle and Tale Fairies! Or at least how I would envision them if we were tiny enough to see their faces (or if they were big enough to be our size!).
I still want a Fairy pack, but I do agree with you on expanding Sylvan Glade! That place would be better even if you didn't have to wait for the trees to grow. I found it odd that at least in that location that you had to be there long enough for the plants to grow enough to pick their produce, which is especially difficult with the trees!😫 And it is even worse since Seasons came out, because now they have to be in season as well! I think a magical place should defy the normal laws of plant growth and have all the produce available upon the first visit, no matter what time of year it is! 🤨 Also, the hidden location/mine in Oasis Springs is even more lackluster, despite the fact that you have to have a level 10 Handiness skill just to even visit there! 😖 It isn't worth the effort, although the idea of it was a good one!
