New save without CAS
Now that I am back from TS3 to TS4 for a bit, and after having to start fresh a couple of times there is something that I wonder about: Is there any news about TS4 coming with a patch that allows use...
Thanks for testing. How about collection stats and career unlocks? That stuff seems to reset even upon splitting households. Let alone making a new household with an existing imported sim.
Details aside this thing will never be more then a partially usefull and (excuse my English) rather lame workaround. This whole ride through CAS belongs in the tutorial rather then in every game, IMHO.
Nobody in TS3 had trouble creating any sims. Being able to choose what to do directly at the start of a game is a thing I still hope to see one day. And just maybe by posting this, and people reacting to it, I can invite the Devs to look into it!
@AlHollandiyah @RandomBuzziness The career unlocks and the collections do get lost on importing a sim. You're right, you tend to lose those whenever you move. The one thing I can't remember was what happens with aspirations. I can't remember if they still show as completed or if you have to start over. The points you've already accumulated do stay though I think.
One odd thing I found though is if you clone a sim use the cloning machine built in the Scientist career, they keep just about everything the original sim had as far as skills, traits, etc. but they don't get any credit for the aspirations and you get to start over. You can end up with an incredible amount of points from them if the clone already has most of the buyable traits, there is nothing left to spend them on except the potions and money tree seeds.
