Happy Simming!

I'm really enjoying this ep for the most part but there is some things I think needs tuning and adding.

I love
The new vending machines-Whoever thought those up was a genius.

The new careers are fun especially the doctor one.

I like that our sims can now shop from npc stores.

The new easy listening station is nice although it's not really beautiful music like they had in the sims 1 it's instrumental and we need that.

I love the new hairstyles especially the ponytail and I love the beanie hats.

I love that we can make aliens in cas now.

I love the beauty of Magnolia Promanade especially the park and the 2 dock areas by the water.

I love the new photography skill now and that sims can take photos together and hang them. I especially like how the background shows up.

What I think needs some improvements

I'd like to be able to send my sick sims to the hospital who don't work there.

Sixam doesn't have a bar and the house like was shown. I really wish they would have been included.

I'm disappointed the bakery from the trailers and stuff wasn't included. There is no bakery in the town so I have to download one.

I'm disappointed because there is no npc photographer. I have to move a sim into my household so I can have that sim go to the photography studio I downloaded and take their picture and married sims tend to flirt with other sims living in thier household.

Bugs
Several times when I told my sims to travel together they didn't the other was still at the home lot to spite me telling them to travel together to Magnolia Promenade.

I do not like how expansion packs purchased on a disc still force you to download the game rather than take it off the disc. If this is how all future expansions will work, it's a huge negative for me.

Yes this is something that bugs me. I tried to install the disc and I get I need to update my game thru origin and in my games. My game is already updated and it won't let me install the disc. I finally had to put in the code in origin and add the game and I had to download it from origin instead of the disc.

This is another issue I'd like to see yall get fixed. It must be a bug with origin.

To hilarious moments as I played out the Detective... a gnomes fried body as the start/scene of the crime... I really LOL'd!!

And when I brought back the suspect, fingerprinted her, mugshot caught and then searched and found a purple rubber chicken leading to my Sims embarrassment caused me to laugh out once again! It was awesome, totally loved my first run as a detective!

I liked the game at first...then after playing it for a while, I started noticing at lot of annoying things (not certain if these are bugs or if they just annoy me). I have a lot of bad stuff to post, but a lot of people tend to notice the bad over the good, right? :wink:

Bad:
-My sim stopped surgery promptly at 7pm since she that's when her shift ends. Why can't the careers be salary based so our sims can come in early and stay late? A real doctor doesn't leave as soon as their shift ends if they are in surgery

-Can we please have more than one other doctor at the doctor's office? The only other doctor doesn't even work! It's no wonder they remained a doctor the entire time my sim was constantly getting promoted. The other doctor was always playing games on their phone or talking to patients. This caused lots of displeased patients to leave, but if it takes an entire day to cure one patient, how do you expect us to get other patients into beds?

-My male sim gets abducted by aliens every night.

-Why does it take an entire day to cure one patient? Especially since if my sim gets sick, all they have to do is order medicine and they're cured instantly. I'm happy that you guys didn't make it like a real hospital to where my sick sims would be there all day trying to get cured as opposed to taking a magic medicine that instantly cures them (kinda defeats the entire purpose of the doctor career)

-I would love to be able to run a real restaurant. I know that you guys said a while back that we don't actually have restaurants, but please stop with the trailers that make the gameplay so misleading. The trailer showed a restaurant full of sims eating and a waiter actually delivering more food to a table. That's just not nice.

-4 new lots. Please. I want more lots. I miss big worlds. TS3 had huge worlds and it was an open world! Why do we get such tiny worlds when there are loading screens between every single lot? Not all of us have slower computers! I wish there was an option to turn on an open world for us with higher end computers.

Sorry that I was so brutal. I love The Sims. Been here since the beginning (I loved The Sims Bustin Out and the original sims on my gamecube, and of course the original sims for the computer). I just am hoping for improvement. I know the developers get impossible deadlines imposed on you by your boss, and you also get the angered fans. It really isn't fair on you. I have had high expectations for my Sims games since the previous games have all been wonderful. If you need to, tell your boss up, lol! Quality over quantity any day, please.

I like it so far. I was surprised and disappointed that there weren't more aspirations and personality traits with it though. It would be nice to have some more. It would be great if we could add more than 3 personality traits in the future too.

When extending work hours, I am hoping for more time, or be allowed to adjust it ourselves, like a couple hours or an all nighter, etc. :D

The huge thing about retail for me is the fact that you don't use the cash register or exchange money at any point! Can this be added in an update later PLEASE!!! Also locking doors should be added in cos right now people can just walk right into my kitchen or office when they should be employees only! Apart from that I love the game!

I love it!! So far I've made a couple new sims using the new CAS content. The outfits and hair are wonderful and very stylish, I love all the detail and color!! I can't wait to have build a clothing store!

I've played the detective career and it's soo much fun! There's so much to do! I just love all the machines and interactive objects, they are so detailed and look wonderful.. the build and decorative objects are nice as well, everything looks so realistic.. lol when I saw the trailer with the machine pulling the baby out I was afraid that everything would be too chunky, goofy, and cartooney but that's not the case at all, it's realistic with a nice touch of humor. I also like the new sim interactions related to careers.. I watched my detective sim interrogate a suspect and their body language and facial expressions were so nuanced and fun to watch.. they are very animated! (no pun intended lol) I was also thinking about the sims 3 ambitions, with the fireman career.. the detective career is similar to that but it's a lotttt more dynamic in comparison. When I play, I feel like I'm playing a career simulation.. I feel like I'm taking the role of a detective. it's like playing a whole other game but it ties into the base game seamlessly. (despite the lack of a totally open world :p) I felt like many of the EP's for ts3 felt almost like a separate entity.. I'm not sure how to describe it, but to me the game just feels like it's more harmonious mechanically. TS4 in general is a lot smoother and more nuanced, it's simplified in some aspects too.. and I know you get a lot of hate from many simmers for this, but I actually like it a lot. I'm not missing many of the things that were cut out, such as watching my sims drive to work. Not being able to do that doesn't take anything away from the game for me, if anything it actually adds to it because I don't have to wait for them to drive somewhere. It's not animation I need to watch.. esp considering the car was invisible most of the time lol.

So yes, I'm very much enjoying this EP and I've only just scratched the surface. I expect to get a lot of enjoyment out of this.
I really like the direction that game is going in, it's a vast improvement to previous versions and I'm looking forward to see what you guys will come with next! :)

So far so good. Only been playing for a day and have set up a retail shop for one sim and started police career with another. My male sim got abducted almost immediately by aliens and got pregnant so my plans for how his life was going to go has changed but I like surprises like that. Just found out he has the option to breast feed his alien baby which is too funny.
Game play for new police career has been fun so far. Havent had a chance to try scientist or doctor yet but will soon.
Really like the new hair, jewelry, clothes. And am looking forward to more furniture and decorations.
Would prefer smaller tattoos for men (too many "sleeve" tattoos or full arm tats). Hopeful that body hair will be added in future.
Hoping the game will add more traits and aspirations as what we have now is kind of skimpy.
I had been bored with base game for a few months now and camping game pack was okay but really didn't add too much for me (except new clothes, hair, etc...which I like). But now GTW has re-sparked my interest and enjoyment. Will be interesting to see if it maintains but certainly looks promising.

Its a shame that we can't serve clients with a cash register!

I want back checkout queue!
