Some EnB (including Cross-Pack Compatibility) Suggestions

Without any major overhauls (hopefully), here are some suggestions to tweak EnB, as well as EnB with other packs. I don't think these are asking too much—they are probably even possible for modders to make.

EbN Suggestions:

  • Select Sim to choose "Sleep Preference" (similar to utensil preference), so Sims with Natural Living Skill can choose to "always sleep on ground" or sleep on ground when there is nowhere else to sleep.
  • If emotions are absorbed by a friend (or higher) no relationship loss.
  • "Harvest All" works with Aura Blossom, Lightning Root (if possible) and Moody Shrub.
  • "Forage for Apothecary Ingredients" should not contain non-Apothecary Ingredients (I keep getting apples)
  • Remove "computer required" daily tasks from this career, we are in a Natural Living EP, having a computer on lot defeats the purpose....

Other Cross-Pack Suggestions with EnB:

  • Cauldrons or Apothecary Table can both craft/brew Potions/Cures (Realm of Magic)
  • Apothecary Table can also hold Alchemy Ingredients (Realm of Magic) This does happen if the lot also has RoM Classic Apothecary Cabinet
  • Apothecary Table can both craft/brew Remedies/Cures (Outdoor Retreat)
  • Apothecary Table can also hold Herbalism Ingredients (Outdoor Retreat)
  • Copypasto works on Apothecary ingredients/cures (Realm of Magic)
  • New Lifestyles to better reflect magical (or occults), crafting and/or fable completing lifestyles (Snowy Escape)
  • Moonstone effects Fairies respectively Gemology and Fairies mentioned here (Crystal Creations)
  • Fairy specific Nectary, also mentioned here by another Simmer (Horse Ranch)
  • Insects added to World, well all worlds preferably (Outdoor Retreat)

Feel free to add your suggestions as well.

  • Bumping cause still really annoyed "Copypasto" doesn't works on Apothecary ingredients/cures (Realm of Magic). It just doesn't make sense that the ingredients can be bought from the Apothecary Table but not Copypasto'ed. If Alchemy and Herbalism cures can be copied; I think Apothecary ones should be too.

    Note I did make a mod for this but I think it should be official.

    Also so annoying we cannot have a storage for all Alchemy/Herbalism/Apothecary ingredients. I have my frogs, insects and other items in a storage box (get out when needed), and herbalism harvestables in inventory, and what does fit in the Apothecary Table in there. 

  • The biggest disappointment in The Sims 4 comes from expansions that are poor in content and lack synergy. Synergy is essential to reward players who have invested over the years, especially financially. It would be ideal if The Sims 4 offered content with coherent features and updated older packs, like Get to Work or certain supernatural Sims that lack skill trees. Personally, Life Mode’s interface has become a jungle: each pack adds small features with similar effects in different forms, but ultimately without depth—for example, the vacuum doesn’t work in a house without electricity, so why isn’t there a broom to use instead, or even being allergic to dust, which would be a change from the symptoms caused by other Sims.

    I find the Neighborhood Action Plans feature in The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle interesting, but it should be as flexible as the Group Creation feature. The more customizable features there are in the game, the better for replayability. The game should stop scripting gameplay, except for the main pack storyline, like quests. And seriously, the paper bags on the heads—who came up with that abominable idea?
