Seems just like the ones from Sims2 - It's a lounge chair for crying out loud. Sit by the pool chair. What do you want a lounge pool chair to do. Really?
Do you not socialize? Read? I mean the point isn’t really what we want to do there, but that this game is built around the multitasking feature and we were explicitly told by the studio that it was unacceptable for them to release a lounger that isn’t compatible with it. In Sims 2 the loungers had nested interactions, not everything was available but more than sitting was.
No - I sit by the pool under an umbrella (I burn too easy, no tanning for me) and watched my kids - other than that was not much interested in lounge chairs
In house lounge chairs if i use them at all - I prefer swivel chairs, I sit reading or using my desk or watching a movie. I socialize by standing up and talking with my friends not sitting by the pool.
ETA - I was in Sims 2 not all that long ago at the indoor pool in strangetown and all the sims were sitting in lounge chairs just like that guy watching people in the pool playing hold your breath and marco polo - and doing nothing else for hours. Same thing.
Not to sound rude, but it's 2019. And yes I would rather do without than to see an object that looks extremely uncomfortable (no neck support as the older ones had) and not even up to par for the very reason they waited so long to add them. Hey, they are the ones that said they didn't want to release an object Sims couldn't use to multitask. That is the reason they took so long, so they arrive and wow, just wow, they don't do any multitasking by talking to other Sims sitting near by and or they have to get up and sit differently to read a book. Lounge means lounge, you can read a book, use a phone, chat while lounging. But not in TS4 it sort of defeats the purpose of the reason they delayed them so long.
It's not the players' fault they were expecting more of the object but Maxis for saying they wouldn't release them without some good multitasking options and even stated it's below their standards to do so...well, I guess they have lowered them.
Well then take them out of YOUR game - I like them as they are and will have them in mine. 2019 - does chairs in 2019 do anything different than 10 years ago - a chair is a chair. Funny my son and his wife just came back from Jamaica for the 5 th anniversary - they sat in the same chairs at the resort they have pictures in during their honey moon just sitting there looking at the water and people on the beach. Not a thing had changed but the date on the pictures and their beach wear. I guess art (games) do imitate life actually.
So did you buy the game and reinstall after all or are you just commenting still.
First, how would anyone remove a patched content when they possibly need the patches but don't want an object? That's new if at all possible.
I saw on my thread that was closed you made the last comments to me about me no longer playing. I had legit reasons for stopping buying and have legit reasons for not wanting everything they add for free since then.
Unlike you ( I skipped it, too) when you were upset with that GF world too small and not enough lots, I decided summer of 2017 I wasn't just going to 'buy anyway' if something wasn't up to my expectations or standards anymore. You had made a lot of comments about that and was really upset by it, but I assume you got the pack anyway. I won't do that anymore, even if I do love all The Sims games or at least the idea of them.
No, I haven't gotten this new pack and after reading a bunch of feedback and problems with it, and or short comings in many areas of it, where things don't seem to be thought out very much I wouldn't get it until it was half off because I honestly feel it's a GP sold at EP price. One thing as a short coming is the mermaids. If you create one in a different world there isn't any kelp for them to put in a pool or whatever for them to eat like in the actual world so I think that would break immersion to me to put a mermaid in a pool though an EP should expand across all the game, or at least by my standards and then no kelp as someone complained seemed just a half done pack to me or not tested or an oversight or something. Again, what some of us call shallow because they didn't think about it or because they didn't care, or money or whatever, it still winds up seeming shallow with things like that not even thought about. Some are very disappointed of how drowning another Sim works...at this point it seems not too good, so with stuff like that in an EP (higher price) I won't buy now fix later anymore. They've had five years of my time to amaze me, and I'm waiting to see Realm of Magic but doubt I will be impressed. And since I bought many packs before then, I'm still entitled to bug fixes if they ever get around to them for the packs I do own.
And you know we actually have lounge chairs here in the backwoods and don't have to go to Jamaica to figure them out.
