I'm pretty disgusted with it so far. It's stressful. The terrains are a pain in the butt, and it doesn't matter how many YouTube videos that you watch to understand it. Buy the Pinnacles mansion and there is a ton of unnecessary terrain to try and deal with getting rid of (which I can't) and I can't even make a basement. No room for anything. Youtube videos don't work.
At least there is the fame part of the game and somewhere down the line I may find the VIP room possibilities again like in Sims 3. Right now, I don't see one single red carpet. Even with cheat mode.
I'm most upset with the acting career. I can't even get through a gig completely. Sims just keep getting Tin. My major issue with the gigs so far are that wardrobe does not have "get into Costume" as you need to do. Where is it? I click the stage right wardrobe, everything else is there for changing clothes, but not getting into the wardrobe.
My Sims don't even get to a performance. At first, I thought if I used no cheats for it (as I heard it may cause the gigs not to show up entirely). I used no cheats and still have the same problem. With less fun as well.
Everyone seems to think it's such a "gorgeous" background and all. I'm not getting it.
The signing autographs with pictures, though, this time around has been neat. The game changes the Sims themselves from what you started them as when they get fame points, which is upsetting, although you can get rid of quirks, fortunately.
I think they are charging too much for this expansion. I'll probably give up on the career part of it, though. But I would like to know where "Get into Costume" actually is if anyone know and can reply.
Thanks.
I play offline and haven't installed the patch or bought GF yet because the CAS aging bug has me spooked and I'm waiting for the fix. I've watched tons of Lets Plays and some tutorials on the terrain manipulation since I'm really looking forward to that.
Have you tried using ther lessons in the game for help? I often use them and found them helpful. There's one for terrain manipulation, it might help you more than videos since you can go through them point by point. I know you watched a lot of You Tube videos but I found The Simsupply terrain manipulation tutorial easy to understand and helpful. Of course I haven't actually tried it yet.
Are you having trouble with the terrain tools from the patch? Are they not working or just overly complicated? I'm not sure what you mean by unnecessary terrain that you can't get rid of. Is the terrain why you're having trouble making a basement?
For the "get into costume" interaction, there's a box on the floor in front of the mirrors in the wardrobe room. Click on that and the option should appear. Your sim will stand in it as an NPC dresses them for the part, similar to the makeup chair. (Sorry, I just realized that @Simtrippy answered this with a pic ?)
Are you having trouble getting gigs, being able to go to a gig that your sim was hired for or once at the studio not getting to perform (because of your wardrobe issue)?
Since quirks are assigned by doing the same interaction multiple times in a short period of time so can you kind of control them by picking certain interactions.
Does your sim change if you don't pick any fame perks? (I know there's the fame shine and famous walk- not sure if you need a perk for that. I also saw the bug report where the walk won't stay turned off)
