An Appreciation Thread
It's pretty clear that there's a lot of negativity on the Sims 4 areas of forum at the moment, both amongst ourselves and towards the EA team. It's making me sad so I decided to make a more positive ...

Well there is a lot I love about this game. I couldn't cover it in this thread.
So I'll mention some things/tools that I've been really appreciating just lately.
The ability to transfer stuff so easily between sims.. either as a drag from one family member to another or in gifting to sims. It's come in super handy lately.. especially since I've taken to playing larger households very recently. I know these were things that weren't present in the base game on release and for some time after.. but they make a world of difference for me. Gifting is especially wonderful because it fits into a story much more seamlessly.
I also am making use of the easy to access cheats. I mean we always had them in some form but they are super easy to access at this point. Even if I still look them up too often. I haven't been a big cheat user in the past. Actually feeling like a cheater when I did.. but now especially after doing certain things so often I feel like I can jump past them and get to the good stuff without feeling guilty. I've wanted to remake a lot of townies in world lately.. change the name and looks but leave them with their title and it's been very easy to so. Just a hop in and out of managed worlds and done.
Also groups and clubs, not sure where my game would be without them. I love the ability to tell all the sims in my groups to go over here or all do something together it's wonderful. I don't miss having to use "chat here" to get sims to go where you want.
The gallery.. there is a problem just lately with the old chemical analyzer from GTW. It's not available like it use to be. I'm guessing because there is some problem because there is also a new one with StrangerVille. Anyway... I can just get one from the gallery or find the cheat to make it accessible (couldn't find the cheat at the time I needed it). There's always more than one way to do things and I don't have to feel stressed about it.
Gotta put it in Strangerville. I didn't even know I needed it until I got it. Thanks!
