@LiELF: I don't see how this pack could possibly break my noautonomousphone mod. Except if there should be a crystal that disables autonomous phone use, that is.

The vast majority of my mods should still be fine with the pack and patch.

That's a relief @83bienchen thank you for letting me know. It's the one mod that is absolutely essential to my game and I don't think I could play without it because I just can't stand the excessive phone dependency.

And while I've been playing offline to avoid the update, there have been a couple of times that the EA app has tried to start my update, even though I have it set to offline play. My game was being a little wonky after that so now I'm afraid it got bugged by me cancelling the patch and I'll have to update and repair anyway. So I'll continue to use the mod, thank goodness.

I really appreciate the work you've done for the community. ❤️

Question to EA_Cade and the team: I need to buy the new pack on Amazon. When will it be available there? On German Amazon, not even the Castle Kit has arrived.

Nevermind.

The pack is now on Amazon, but to my surpise I wasn't allowed to use my Amazon wallet to buy the code. Looks like this is only possible for physical goods now.

No Visa Card verification on the EA App, no gift cards on Amazon - The Sims is like a fortress, they don't want to sell their games.

Thanks for giving us hope @83bienchen! I agree with @LiELF , I honestly wouldn't know what to do without this mod. Game-saver all the way! ?


As for a phone disabling crystal...mmm, that would be a fine crystal indeed, but you gotta keep it charged to make sure all the phones remain -uncharged…
Too complicated. I think I prefer the mod! ?

@simgirl1010 I knew there was a spellcaster in the family somewhere.?

The more I hear and see the more I want to try spellcasters again but I have a full plate. I think this pack could finally make them what I wanted them to be from the start.

I don't think this pack will complete my spellcasters but it's a good addition to them for sure.

So far 70 Me Toos.

A few more points of cross-pack compatibility:
-experimenting at the chemistry station (GTW scientist career) builds the gemology skill
-the new crystals can also be refined (JA), although refined crystals can’t be charged or used for jewellery

I love the cross pack compatibility this pack has! Hopefully the distortion bug will be fixed soon. My latest plan was to make some jewellery with Saruman the White, but he is elder and my mermaid is a teen, so the only one who could make and wear jewellery now is my ya werewolf.
