This thread is for those of you who are looking forward to the new GP. Or at least willing to entertain that it might be a fun pack. Although I've seen and enjoyed all the movies I'm not a big Star Wars fan but I am interested in seeing how this plays out.

The highest a sim can go in this game?In the screenshot it looks as if the rocketship rises even higher, but I think they both vanish from sight at the same elevation.

I'm back to posting here and of course what I post about is my ongoing Star Wars gamepay, with or without the actual pack.My sims got challenged to a Walker race (nothing more exciting than seeing an AT-AT slowly waltz along a straight line, right?) for which I found this gem by DrGluon on the gallery:Check it out, it's perfectly live-in able thanks to clever use of the Realm of Magic teleporters (or just plain old cheat-teleport).I placed one on the plane crash lot. Don't worry, neighbors, the Empire is here to protect you!For a while I had the perfect coat for my First Order officers. It goes over the regular uniform with minimal clipping. This picture was taken inside the AT-AT cockpit.Unfortunately the last update broke the coat. (Sims already wearing the coat still have it, but it doesn't show up in CAS anymore, so I have to use MCDresser to copy it over.)Since the coat is an accessoire, it can get combined with any not too bulky top. Just don't be surprised if your superiors don't take you serious if you wear your Alderaan sleepwear t-shirt for breakfast!A screenshot of a combatent using force-throw to hurl their lightsaber:To do this, you need to move the camera into the other sim until they fade out. Then change to cameraman mode (TAB) and zoom back out - the faded out sim or object will stay invisible. I love to use that trick for screenshots.

I took the TIE-Echelon to Sixam.The good old girl is well concealed against the rocks.Two crewmembers (one arrived via the rocketship, the others teleported in).Where she belongs 😊

Shortly after the battle of Crait, Finn confronts Kylo Ren in Black Spire, on the planet Batuu. He has no chance of defeating the Master of Ren, but just enough willpower to drive the dark side adept away. After the encounter the city is safe for another day.Meanwhile the First Order seems to have changed its approach to ruling the occupied planet. Is that General Hux hugging local children?!And what's with that scarily human-looking droid in the white shirt?Finn's triumph changes into sorrow, when Poe tells him that BB-8 broke down and that the pilot is about to get a new one. How cold and distant the friend has said this... And why is Poe running around in the First Order district in that bright orange flightsuit, that marks him as a target?Finn seeks out Master Savi, who councels him that he shouldn't walk around after dark anymore. Savi shows Finn what he takes for a safe place to spend the night. But what Finn will see in the safehouse will change his life even more completely than having defected from the First Order.EDGE OF DETROIT is a picture story that I'm writing with my Star Wars sims. I start posting tomorrow, if you're interested: Edge of Detroit (At the moment there isn't anything to see under this tag.)

My sim rolled a bucktlist goal to spend a day in oasis springs. So the only logical consequence is to take a vacation at the batuu neighborhood in oasis springs ;) They dressed in a new outfit which is more appropriate for the surroundingsTheir holiday home for the weekend, including custom transport. (and christmas lights that couldn't be removed )Visiting the local parkThe park even got a recent upgrade with some playground equiment. (Don't mind the legs in the forground of the picture. That's someone on the swing)Even dad joined in on the playground fun.In the evening Aster is very enthusiastically retelling his adventures of the day at the vacation rental. His red plumbob shows he really needs some sleep but other than that he is in a great mood.After Aster went to bed, mom and dad watched a movie. The local TV channel even offers movies with robots.

That looks really awesome. I never considered rockets or spaceships on top of the mountain but now I wanna try. It feels like a secret base with a great view of the stars

I'm so insanely proud to present to you: RISE OF THE SECOND ORDER

For plot continuity purposes I replaced Kylo Ren, Lt. Agnon, Vi Moradi and Rey with my own sims.

https://64.media.tumblr.com/b7b7f5a9d74a2361bd370fff29b461da/3e8958c049f8df50-46/s2048x3072/c918a5cd9669c17e4bb8180d84c996bbfa8087fa.pnj

Daniel O'Malley and C64-3PO. Daniel completed the scoundrel questline, but was also involved with politics and ended up quite close to Kylo.

https://64.media.tumblr.com/e567cda8f1c56cc7fca48f0ee6861686/3e8958c049f8df50-88/s2048x3072/a21c5edafcc70e48da241b953951de8712a70038.pnj

In the background former stormtrooper Lt. Tina CH-100. She completed the First Order questline (making her sergeant) and while I played other sims, she will have attended officer school at Foxbury. Would she drop her number now, go by just Lt. Tina or adopt a surname?

https://64.media.tumblr.com/cb8ce2f75e66a3d784e6387ac8243e38/3e8958c049f8df50-d8/s2048x3072/687465f0626c9c9e715ae570eb7ef003e3c8e390.pnj

On the Resistance side we have Lt. Gavin Dree, who completed the Resistance questline, and Connor Sonderan, who did the lightsaber challenge but otherwise focused on riding tournaments. Unfortunately I couldn't give him his purple lightsaber, so I need to come up with an explanation why it's imperative that he temporarily uses the Skywalker heirloom lightsaber over his bonded crystal.

The original Daniel, Tina, Gavin and Connor were not changed and are still playable sims in my games. Likewise I have a a played version of Kylo, Rey, Vi and Agnon now.

All of this was done with MCCCs "Complete sex change", "import tray sim" and "Edit in CAS" functions (and I think I posted a similar model swap before in this thread).

General Hux and Captain Dameron - ready for the press conference?

You know things are messed up if they require a joined operation of the Resistance and First Order. (It was supposed to go quietly under the 'hood, but ingame events forced them to make if official.)

It's one of the factors why, for me at least, The Sims has such longevity. On the story tier I can have heroic adventures, but also play out the downtime. And on the gameplay tier other games have hitpoints, magic points and maybe food items to restore those, but the full needs system of the sims is unique.

Modded:
Medieval custom dishes go well with the Star Wars setting.

Unmodded:

This happened while two of my force-sensitives (spellcasters) were training together. Hux was reading in the couryard, but when the duel started, he walked out and sat down with the book, as if reading the other two the instructions from a textbook. It's not really Batuu gameplay, but RoM, but I include it here because it has the Star Wars characters.
