Adventure Awaits Positive Thoughts Thread

Here is some additional information that may help some who are struggling with getaways and set-up.  Of course there are some things I hope they fix and tweak, but I really like things so far.  

Rebuilt the lot where you go to for Plan a Romantic Competition (Gibbi Point – Love Highland Getaway) and made sure I had the things the lot needed for the getaway.  

How I created my Singles Getaway: To make things easier, I select one of the pre-created getaways which is Romantic Competition.  Next, I change the name to Looking 4Love.  Yes, you can Save what you have created and even make changes to what you've created and then Save over that.  Everything you set-up Saves as long as you click the button.  One of the reasons I start off with a pre-created getaway is because sometimes I want to keep the Sims selected in pre-existing roles--otherwise they will not show up as an option if you don't know them. 

The only activity that I have issues with from what I've tried, as I mentioned in a previous post is Eat, because they keep on eating.  I decided not to include it because Sims will take care of their needs when I assign Free Time or Self Care. 

The Staff is also Single who took on the role of a butler while working.  This is what I set-up for my Singles getaway:

Let's say I want to do my getaway again, I always select one of the pre-created getaway from my phone, then I use the drop down and select the getaway that is saved which I named Looking 4Love.  I've learned never to edit the getaway while on it because things don't go well and Sims will start standing around doing nothing (This is something that needs to be addressed.)

I did introduce Maliah to 16 single Sims beforehand because I wanted them to be there.  Under Role Properties make sure to set your criteria.  In this case a Sim needed to be Single and the age is Young Adult and Adult. 

Only the one staff person's outfits were created; gave him the butler attire.   He did cook during the times he was supposed to which worked out well.  

They have improved Sim's reactions when it comes to jealousy.  Even if they are in a different room, the Sim will come into the room and have a reaction now.  Nice touch.
