You said this game pack will be available Feb 27, 2018 and everywhere I have looked, I only find the Trailer. Did someone forget to flip a switch?
hi @ewelings, i found this online: " According to previous Game Pack release times this pack will come out at 7PM CET / 10AM PT / 6PM BT".
hi @PugLove888,
working on school projects with siblings and parents sounds like fun. it's nice that you can keep/view the finished ones like art pieces, too. and btw, i don't remember watching "The Brady Bunch" (it was known as "The Brady Tribe" here, and i some channels syndicated it over the years) but i know about the show so i'm willing to bet it was a fun episode!
and why not? considering how many of my paternal grandfather's/grandmother's relatives never left Italy, they could have met some of your own! 😉 there's many on my mother's side, too, and some Spanish-born as well, like my great-grandmother.
i was once told there was *one* French person in all that mix, but i suspect it was so the family tree would look more interesting! XD
so when people ask me if i have any Greek relatives, i say "maybe!" i mean, even if some relatives were, as far as i know, from areas "closer" to (well, if you cross the Adriatic Sea, LOL) Albania and Slovenia, who knows, right?
it's true! Simlish dialect has definitely grown and changed over the years. i can never figure out how to decipher or write (lol--imagine that, Simlish linguistics/phonetics) what they say when they ask another Sim about their day. i think they have two ways, but only one of them sounds like an actual question? *that* one is my favourite.
and just like "ouch!", the sound they make when they smell (or an object is dirty) is also one we could use in real life. XD
oh... most of the times my Sims cook, i think "i wish i could have *that* for dinner" or "why can't it be *that* easy?". because i'm not good at cooking *and* i hate it--worst combination ever. now i must have them order some pizza... and hope they actually get it! i love pizza.
and thank you! avocados are quite expensive, so i will live vicariously through your Sims. =) looking forward to hearing about the other new dishes, too!
@unseenlarks, just a quick reply here since I'm busy discovering Jungle Adventure! I just wanted to give you pics of the avocado tree, a single avocado, and a Sim eating an avocado, like you requested. 😇 Sorry for the bad lighting! I will reply to your last post and update you more on Puerto Llamante and the Omiscan temples later. I've been playing so long, I forgot to eat! 😮 🤭😳😃
Here are the pictures; I will show more later:
AVOCADOOOOOOO!!!! ❤️
@CMeki& @unseenlarks , I'm so glad y'all liked the avocado pictures from the Jungle Adventure GP that I posted! Avocados are so popular now because we have discovered how good they are for you -- a shame I don't like them. 😳 The game also has black beans to harvest and "Emotion Berries"! I finally found an emotion berry tree after extensive searching! Haven't used them yet though. The black beans come in pods just like real beans! In the inventory they look like darker versions of mesquite pods or mimosa pods. But the plant doesn't look like either one of those. I need to Google a picture of a real black bean plant, now that I think about it!
No, the Sim in the picture eating the Avocado isn't me! I'm not as muscular as she is and her hair is darker. I didn't even make this Sim because I made a large Sim family to try out all the new CAS options, but didn't want to travel with them yet, at least not on my first trip! Its too hard to take care of a toddler and 2 young kids in while exploring the jungle for the first time! So, after I made the large family, I just downloaded some Adventure Sims from the Gallery ... I think they were favorited by Maxis. They each have one of the 2 different new Aspirations that came with this pack! @unseenlarks, the Sim eating the avocado must have enjoyed it because she got a good buff from it -- I think she is just contemplating whether it is a fruit or a vegetable! 😉 She needs to realize that all fruits are vegetables, but not all vegetables are fruits! 🤨
LOL! Simlish phonetics! 😃 That's a good one!
Yes, the volcano project that came with the Parenthood GP does remind me of a tamer version of the one on the Brady Bunch! (Cool that you guys called it the Brady Tribe in your country!) The episode in question is called "Today, I Am a Freshman" from 1972. The plot is about Marcia primarily, but Peter and the volcano steal the show! The volcano's best part is at the end. You should be able to find it on the internet. Every time my Sim kids bring home a volcano for their school project, I think of this episode and it makes me laugh! 😃:eahigh_file: There are several other projects in the game, but the volcano is my favorite! (I even made one in the 4th grade!) It's a good thing for our Sims that Selvadorada doesn't' have an active volcano! 👿
I have a list of the foods and drinks at the food stands in the marketplace at Puerto Selvadorada:
Drinks:
Horchata
Yerba Mate
Espuma Agria
Food:
Arepa Rellena con Perico
Arepa de Pabellón
Empanadas de Verde
Pastel Palmito
Platanos Fritos
Pastel de Camarão
Buñuelos
The Pastel de Camarão must be from Brazil since they use tildes over their vowels, which is Portuguese. 😉
However, none of the times when my Sims ate at the food stall did they "learn" the recipe like they do with other exotic foods from City Living or even the seafood dishes from Cats & Dogs! I don't know if this is as intended, or if it is a glitch in my game, or if it is a bug for others as well. 🤔
I love the head scarves that come with this pack also! I've worn these off and on over the years, of varying widths. But right before this pack was announced, I bought 4 new ones ... 2 with solid colors and 2 with patterns! :eahigh_file:
@CMeki, the very first time I had a Sim open a treasure chest, he turned into a skeleton! 🥳
Here are some pictures from the game:
The various recipes build culture awareness. I would have loved to be able to learn the recipes but I think it is on purpose that you can't.
Regarding emotion trees I went to the royal baths and found 5 there. You can also plant them at home.
BTW. Since you have pets did you notice the bug with pet bowls in the inventory or perhaps you didn't bring any pets along.
Well what do you know I just ate Buñuelos and learned how to make it at home. Maybe you need a certain level of culture to learn the recipes. I am at level 3.
Have you noticed yet that there are tree more recipes in the "Secret Menu"?
I have one Sim now that have them all. Word of warning if you have sims in your household that has no S. Culture and you feed them this they will be uncomfortable for hours because it is too spicy.
