No negative point against the pack itself, but the official German title "Lukrative Hobbyküchen-Accessoires-Pack" (Lucrative hobby kitchen accessories pack) has just won the platinum raspberry for being the subterraneously worst name in the history of videogaming.
The award ceremony will take place in Del Sol Valley on Sunday, 7 pm, if the doorkeeper lets me in.
I assume this will be a standing-room-only ceremony, as is tradition."catloverplayer;c-18310419" wrote:
Agree about pools. What do you mean by Super Soakers? Also Pool Waterfalls need adding.
Oh. Thank you for catching my mistake. I typed fountains, but what I meant was waterfalls, yes.
Super Soakers is a brand name for water pistols. This version draws water directly from the pool:

Oh wow, is standing during Award ceremonies really still a thing in Vanilla Gameplay? I'm afraid I haven't checked that without mods for a while.- Nothing real negative - kitchen and cooking stuff wouldn't be my first choice if you would ask me for a pack theme. But I'm happy for all those who look forward to this pack.

Did you ever come across the "Britechester Pfiffikusse" (= Britechester Spirit Squad in English)? That's also a pretty creative German translation :lol: "Bonxie;c-18310498" wrote:

No, I never noticed that ??.
Pfiffikus is however a very cute and nostalgic word.
The problem with the lucrative hobby kitchens was probably that there is no real German equivalent for "Hustle". I noticed that already with the new Spa Day aspirations which also used that word and resulted in a strange translation.
And even far, far worse is the fact that there is also no fitting German word for "stuff" which forces EA to zu use the bizarre French substitute "Accessoires". All German alternatives are either boring and pale (Sachen, Dinge, Ausstattung) or explicitely negative (Krempel, Kram, Zeug). It would be interesting to know if other languages have similar problems."alanmichael1;c-18310544" wrote:

I also thought it was weird that they borrowed a French word for "stuff. "What about "Dinge" ("things")? Too boring?- Well... The only "negative" thing I can say about it is that I personally don't care much about its theme. I think we have enough food in the game, don't need any more recipes, because as long as we don't get food likes and dislikes, they all serve the same purpose. I love pizza and always wished for sims to be able to make their own, so I'll get the pack for the pizza oven eventually. But other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything in it that I need.
- I agree @Cynna ! I miss the way the sims 3 did packs tbh. Like, I didn't mind getting new swatches of already in-pack objects in The sims 3 store because the main focus of the EPs were so vast and fully covered a theme, that those objects were so miniscule when it came to new gameplay. With TS4, they break up themes into micro themes? which sucks. And sometime objects become a huge part of gameplay with TS4 packs because new gameplay is so minimal.
A poolside or water activities SP would be awesome! It could offer some new stuff and then maybe new swatches of already in-game objects. Kayaking sounds so fun! I feel like after Island Living, they completely abandoned ocean activities, which is a shame. Especially because a one-sim boat is absolutely boring. It'd be nice to get a 4-sim fishing boat/speed boat like TS3 IP pack offered. "alanmichael1;c-18310544" wrote:

The filter makes this ordinary word more interesting now. ?
