It seems like when I'm out of the game I can come up with so many ideas on what to do, but when I'm actually sitting down to play, I completely forget about them!Most recently is when it was raining in my sims neighborhood, but I wanted her to workout. We couldnt afford any workout equipment so I sent her for a jog in the rain and she was upset because she got all wet. I told her she needed to get over it (yes, I talk to my sims) and I let her watch some TV.. but when I clicked on the TV I had realized that with the fitness pack, I could have just had her do a TV workout inside !Is there anyone else like this? Do you sometimes find that you have to remind yourself to take advantage of certain features?

All the time! I forgot they can now hold a full conversation when eating and I was worried about a specific sims social....Then I remembered I can click another sim and get my other sim's social bar completely up while they ate. I forget sims can now multitask!

Oh definitely. I'm trying to really explore all the stuff I forgot about when I took a break from the game through my legacy family and having each new sim do something I hadn't done before or forgotten about. Slow but steady!

Everything related to the handiness skill. There are a lot of cool things you can do with it, like unlocking TV stations and making fireplaces turn on automatically when someone enters the room, and that sort of thing. Still, for some reason I always forget to upgrade my possessions.

I am kinda ignoring the other features from the way I am playing now.At first I was only playing Young Adults and ignoring relationships and family life since we didn't have toddlers.Now we have Toddlers and Parenthood and I have aged all my YAs down to toddlers and given them parents, or put them in an orphanage.So, currently I am not using a lot of features. Mainly because I am primarily playing the orphanage and not the other households and not using much from Get To Work, City Living, or Pets.That's about to change as I advance the other households, so I should be rediscovering a lot of features.

Yes - I often forget multiple features when I get caught up in the storyline that I'm playing as I usually have their jobs, hobbies, etc. all pre-planned. Most recently I had my Sim family watching a movie and was thinking 'popcorn would be great' - at the end of the movie I realized I had completely blanked as there is a popcorn maker that came with Movie Hangoug :b

Do you ever find yourself forgetting that certain features exist?

Lol, I blame EA! There are just so many things in the game now, how can we be expected to remember them all? :D I'm sure that there is a huge expansive mound of things I have not even tried because I've forgotten they exist.

I keep meaning to add an umbrella stand into my current families home, but do I ever remember? Nope, they still go out and get soaked.

I have been thinking about making a mind-map of all the packs and all the game play they offer. :D
I just recently put out the ice cream maker for my sim. It's been ages since I had someone use it.

I always forget we have Spas. I never use anything from Spa Day like it doesn't exist unless someone on here says something about this pack and then I go "oh I need to send my sims to a spa" only to forget about it again :D

That's a great idea. Would you be willing to share?

Edit: I started one, as you can see, and I was going to do a 'per pack' branch but when I got to Seasons I realised that there is no way on Earth I would fit everything on one branch lol. Now I don't know how to do it.

I forget about herbalism.
I forget about the potions in the rewards store.
I forget about the rocketship.
I forget about sixam (is that how it's spelled?)
I forget about the secret place behind the mine in Oasis Springs. Have no idea what it's named either.
The klepto trait.
Photography.
Retail.
Yeah...I forget about a lot. :|
But when I rediscover them it's like I just found five bucks in a pocket of a jacket I haven't worn in awhile. And I do my happy Sims dance.
