Commentary and a few random questions
...From a simmer who's fallen back in love with the Sims 4, after a seriously long hiatus from it!
Man, it's been a while! Hello fellow Simmers! Thank you to those who answered my question about bringing Patchy the Scarecrow (From Seasons EP) fully to life! So cool, and I have a save of my new Legacy founder, where I may go back to it sometime, and use Patchy as her husband (after bringing him fully to life of course)! In the save I'm playing of her right now, it was also totally appropriate for her to woo (and Hoo too!) and marry a merman. So, that's what I'm working on with her atm, heh!
It's a lot of fun. I wish I could be one of those who can take pictures in game, and then narrate/story tell using them to describe/play out stories and so on. The save file is "No One Is An Island Legacy". And the home lot is (appropriately!) that island lot by itself, in Sulani. That lot is perfect for the story I'm playing out in my own head at least, about her and what will be her Legacy and so on! :D
Unfortunately, I don't have the patience to do the picture taking and then do the writing for the pictures in a cohesive, narrating fashion. The narration, yes! But all the picture taking, ugh...Those who DO do such, have nothing but my respect!
So yeah, I got the Island Living and the Discovering University EPs on the great sale that's going on now! I have to wait to afford the Magic GP, as sadly, all out of money now for this month, heh! I think it runs until like February 6th, so I should be able to get it on the sale still. I'm so psyched for the sale! But I'm wondering if they'll give us anything new for free, for the Anniversary Celebration? I know others have been wondering that, too.
So I could go on and on (and onnnnnnnnnnn), but I'll wrap this up with a few questions, maybe some of you can answer them for me, please?
1.) I own the Seasons EP. So my Founder has a beehive. And it's set up to perfectly pollinate her garden too. Great! Buuuuuuuuuut, for sim days now, the bees have been "Outraged" (Angry Bees Are Angry!), and I have NO clue why!?! They aren't bothered too often. She "bonds" with them fairly regularly and has a good relationship with the hive over all. They don't need mite treatment either. So I'm utterly at a loss as to why they're SO angry now, all the time??? Anyone know of how to get them to calm down again?
2.) So her spouse to be (right now they're engaged) is a merman, yay! I'm wondering....Anyone had any merbabies from a mersim and a 'normal' sim trying for a baby yet? I'm sure, given babies are OBJECTS (*Hates that!*), that it wouldn't' be able to be told if it was a wee merperson, until they're children. Or, maybe toddlers? Like how the merpeople's needs area looks different than a normal sims does. And they need 'hydration', rather than having a normal 'hygiene' bar and all that jazz. Is there anything (short of having them eat the kelp you can get in the aspiration rewards store when they're old enough), that I can do to help up the odds for a new little merperson, while my Founder is pregnant? As, if there IS something that can up the odds for such, I'd definitely want to be having her do that, LOL!
3.) This issue is something with my game itself, it has to be. As had it after some patch at some point, like waaaaaaaay back, and it's still an issue now. And I'm playing a 'vanilla' game atm, so I have NO mods that might be weirdly causing it, either...
When I have a sim write a book on the computer, well...If they're able to finish it completely all in one sitting (if they're needs are all good), then that's fine and dandy. BUT! If they start a book, and then have to leave it to do something away from the computer...When I have them go BACK to the computer, to return to writing the book in progress? They wont. This weird icon shows in the activity que bar (it rather looks like a usb memory stick, in fact), instead of the computer icon. And they just stand there, or sit there, doing nothing until I cancel the weird icon/activity out. EVERY TIME! I sob thinking of all the bestsellers that could be, but no...They're stuck in progress in Sim Limbo somewhere!
4.) SPEAKING of "Sim Limbo"....Does anyone know what particular activities and events and so on, are unique to Sulani and the aspiration directly associated with that world (Cant remember now what it's called, sorry!) I know there's that ceremonial bowl they can make a special drink in and stuff. But I'm curious and want to know what other things they can do/need to do, for that aspiration and so on?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! To all of you who read and who comment at least, even if you dont know the answers to my questions, yourselves. And a SPECIAL THANK YOU in advance, to those who read, and DO (if they can/know it) respond with answers!
I really, really appreciate this community, and I'm glad to be back after my long stretch away, heh! ;)
Sul Sul!
