Journey To Batuu Positive Thoughts Thread

off topic but I just misread this thread title as "Journey to Positive Thoughts" and I'm ?

time to hibernate Simmingal
maybe tomorrow you'll have eyes

Made a discovery last weekend. Using debug, put an X-wing onto a regular lot for my techno/rocket/robot geek sim to try. Took off just fine but came back with the X-wing smoking and sparking courtesy of a Battu type chance card. Not long afterwards a Batuu alien shows up, runs through my sim's house out to the back yard. Like, where did he come from? There's not supposed to be any sim cross-over (actually, there is as the letter carriers arrive in Batuu regularly and on one occasion one of my own sims showed up.). Followed the guy, and found him at the X-wing making repairs. Turns out he's a Resistance mechanic sent to fix the aircraft. I've no idea if something similar would happen with either the 1st Order ship or the Falcon (which is huge).

You've got some great shots! You may be onto somthing. If there was a way to blend the packs

My Black Spire's First Order district now has an evening school courtesy of a misunderstanding.

The localized quest text says:
"The locals don't understand what a lucky break our being here is for them. Give them an education, maybe then they will appreciate us more... and join us."

The german phrase used was "bilde sie aus", what means "train them to get a degree" and so I was surprised when the actual quest steps included only "recruit two sims into the first order" and "report back", with no task whatsoever relating to mentoring in a skill or training together.
Then it hit me that "bilde sie aus" might have been a mistranslation. Maybe the original quest text had read "educate them", as in "educate them about how good First Order rule is for them"? No classroom session at all required in this case, just a couple of deep conversations! The correct translation in this case would have been "kläre sie auf" (engl. "enlighten them") instead of "bilde sie aus" (engl. "give them an education") - they're two different things.

Or maybe I'm overthinking this, it wouldn't be the first time.

In any case I'm patiently waiting for Lt. Agnon or Kylo going ballistic on my poor sims for misinterpreting their instructions.

Good point. I've not played a First Order path so can't say what the English version is but have a feeling you're correct. Great screenshot! Would be a worthwhile addition to that side of the pack quests.

But how will nooboos contact Mother now since they're not allowed in Batuu? : (

I am absolutely blown away by the creativity in this thread. @EnkiSchmidt this is awesome! Love it!

Motherplant in Batuu. I've always wondered what planet she was from. Now it makes sense. :p :D

Wow, that's so cool!!! And I have not even greeted her in that lab yet... there's just sooo much to do! I decided to visit Sixam first, but that was already 2 years ago and my sim is not read yet :lol:

Well now Godmother, that's one impressive looking lightsaber! :D
She just looks perfect in this setting!
