Why is the microscope so huge?
Why the only microscope that exists in the game is so huge? They never thought to put some normal ones in the games, like desk microscopes? I have a gardener sim and sometimes she needs to make some ...

@jupkmn , yes, I've been playing since The Sims 1 as well! 💗 They had a small telescope in that game that was perfect. In Sims 2 they did have a slightly bigger one, but i think they also had one like in TS1 too. But the bigger one was still pretty small in comparison to the one in TS4. 😅
I don't remember any microscopes in any of the other versions of the game, but maybe they had some. 🤔
@AppleBlossom3 , I think all of your ideas are good ideas for Kits!😃 In fact I have wondered if they would make a music Kit with the ability to create bands, and at least a drum set, maybe a saxophone , bass (orchestral type) or trumpets, etc. And a lot of people want the pool table!
They might still do some of these ideas for kits... we have just had several kits already just in the first half of the year, which is a bit much. They might be spreading them out more for the future. But I don't really know.
There has always been some sort of microscope and/or telescope in the game. I missed your the telescope used to fit perfectly on the patio and look like one you'd have in your house, still my Sims could go out to their patio and stargaze, maybe get abducted by aliens. Now I have to make sure the lot is big enough to put one in their yard that's way too easy to spot.
My random guess is that it was for the animations. If the item is huge it controls the area where it happens (or even eliminates the Sims animation in favor of a rotating telescope animation in the case of the backboard observatory).
My sims have the small telescope on their patio…I don’t remember if it’s base game or not though. It should be under knowledge or maybe outdoor activities…I usually search for it. Ooh one also came with Werewolves as well.
