Requires C++ yet the game is running on python. This is what I struggled with when I was thinking of pursuing a career in game development. I started with C++ and did that off and on for 2 years but everyone kept telling me that C++ is 'old school' and everyone uses python now, so I switched to python, then I found that basically C++ does the actual building, while python handles data. My head can't juggle between 2 massive programming languages.
Yeah C ++ is the starter language. I took a coding class too and hated it. Tax law is more up my alley. Most games either use Unity or Unreal engine these days and flash got phased out for games. I was trying for an accounting information systems minor but ended up graduating with an entrepreneurship minor. I even gave education a try for a minor too.
Any ways base game needs major help. The balancing between negative and positive emotions gets overridden by environmental buffs. The memory system, family tree, and whims need a complete upgrade. Babies need to be redesigned to be a life stage so genetics bug don't keep happening. Aspirations need a failure component to them. Neighborhood editing needs to happen so Simmers can at least pick their own lot sizes again and needs a neighborhood redesign to allow for car driveways. Cars need to happen due to false advertising issue which means NPC cars need to happen too. Beds need redesigning so Sims can cuddle and dream. UI toggles need to happen for at least option to turn off some NPCs, supernatural, and story progression. Bug reporting needs to be coded into the game itself with option to send that save files and in game photos and video evidence. Opacity sliders that makeup uses could be a solution for lack of color wheel for all CAS and build/bug items. Height slider would be a nice want to have in the game but they really need to put in more unique interactions for teens and elders in the game. Disability representation is a must especially starting with cosmetic options for the game then later add gameplay options if they are going to market inclusiveness.
