Batuu - Share Your Sims, Builds, or Stories!

I made another post in a thread I can't find now. :D

Basically I said I would never buy it. Weeell, as my Grandma used to tell me, never say never. I watched the official trailer and it reminds me of our Strangerville, story driven play. I liked the look of the planet and story line is intriguing as I am a life long lover of Star Wars and Star Trek, but with that being said, what is to keep the weird looking aliens from roaming the streets in Windenberg? I am not that fond of aliens from Sixam but it fit into my astronaut's story. My main concern is, is there a way of keeping Star Wars in Star Wars or is it going to "leak out" all over the other game saves?

I have great ideas for this pack tied in with my astronauts' career and scientists' career. I know there won't be but it would help if we could turn them off for certain saves. We shall see.

Definitely recreate Kotor and Kotor 2 stuff with this.

My two girls, the Exile and Revan are gonna rawk!

I'm going to create a new save file and turn Strangerville into a Batuu-ish lookalike type of world. I think the surrounding landscape of Strangerville will make for a good sci-fi themed gameplay... a type of grungy futuristic world like Batuu.

Then I want to create a bunch of new households to live in this new Strangerville/Batuu-ish world. Various households that are sci-fi geeks, science/computer nerds, aliens, and also different Star Wars characters. Maybe Han Solo hooks up with Obi Wan Kanobi, while Chewy starts on a new career path and opens up a flower shop?

Only time will tell... :D

Oooo, and maybe I'll turn the Strangerville lab into a big Jedi Master 'headquarters' community space where people come to hang out, socialize, meet and greet?

I believe that there was a tweet from Simguru Ninja saying that Star Wars will stay in Star Wars so I believe that they have thought of this. But otherwise I believe that this is the sort of information that will be presented before release :)


On-topic. I have a lot of plans :smiley:

My current main family will just travel there and stay a bit but will not get too involved in any of the different paths because I already have ideas for them. However their future child will be the first one to build a droid with the robotic-skill. I have waited with the droids until I had the right story and sim for it. How perfect won't it be to bring my sim and her robot-friend over to Bantuu!

- I want to create a chef that travels the world and learns different recipes, and working odd jobs. Later when the sim has saved enough we get to build a diner!

- I want to create a traveling sales sim. Collecting kyber-crystals in Bantuu and toys and then selling them in San Myshuno. Then if the sales-table works in Bantuu I will be so happy.

- Traveling musical sims who does odd jobs and brings a guitar everywhere. Will sing and join the smugglers when in Bantuu.

- A runaway teen, the last survivor of a family or rebels who have been hiding in Oasis Springs. Will skill up and then return to Bantuu and help the rebels.

- Elsa, my sweet little old lady books an vacation but unfortunately forgets to put on her reading-glasses. She thought it said "Bay" as in Brindleton Bay but it appears to have been Bantuu. No worries, Elsa is a happy soul and we will see what she thinks of ruffians who mistreat their fellow sims.

@SilentKitty , I would love to see Elsa's face when she gets there and realizes it is not "Bay" :D

I don’t plan per se, but I am wondering about how to blend my current Rey and Ben Solo with the game characters Rey and Kylo Ren. I’ve pretty much figured out the Kylo Ren situation, but Rey still has me stumped. I’ll probably need to find out whether their Rey is a regular character, or someone you’ll see only once or twice,

I recreated a few KOTOR characters in TS4 and will be using them to play the pack. My Exile will be my 'main character', along with Atton Rand. And then I'll just let the other characters roam around in the background or something.
Other than that, I'll have to see more about the pack before I make any more plans.

Yeah... if Ben and Rey are the first ones you see when getting on the planet I will change some things in how I plan my stories. Sort of hoping that they are saved for later on in the story-line but we will see. I'm still just loosely forming some ideas, will take a quick spin through first and see how it works.

I'm still reeling and I don't have any long-term plans. But I'm copy/pasting the idea that hit me a few minutes ago (I posted it in the Countdown Thread)


I can build or download stuff to create my own Star Wars themed neighborhood. Or just drop a SW house down in the middle of one of the neighborhoods.

I can see it so clearly: The Landgraabs complaining about the weird looking dump next door right before I plow into those evil snobs with my lightsaber!!!

Me "Ooops, forgot I'm supposed to be on the Light Side there for a minute. How can I... Oh, Vla-a-ad, can you come over here, please? Just hold this a minute. Officer, officer, this horrible man went berserk on my neighbors!"

....yeah, it'll be glorious.



(It doesn't even matter that I know we won't be able to kill anyone with a lightsaber. I'll just finish them off in the pool or some other way. I always ignore those little technicalities when I play.)

I plan on just playing it.. I want to try out the different factions and want to learn much more about them. I often don't actually give a pack a really good play through for a very long time (Strangerville, JA).. because I like things in it and can see many ways to just roll it into my game.
For this pack though I'm not as familiar with Star Wars lore.. I've never have fanfiction like fantasies to spur me on either. I do know I can roll much of what I've seen into non Star Wars game play (lightsabers, robots, CAS, build objects.. and probably much more) but I'm not sure how to do it until I see much more of it.
I also plan on watching the first few movies again. I'm pretty positive that will get the creative juices flowing.
