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.

I forgot to update my Uni prep school students.

I loved when these doors opened to reveal the bar.
I really like having my sims kick back at the cantina.

They are just relaxing after some initial scavenger hunting.

Cedrick is a scoundrel with a heart of gold.

They are all scoundrels and the Cantina is their main hangout.

It also helps to have living accommodations right below the Cantina instead of a rabbit hole.
It's funny how I can be happy just hanging around the Cantina.

However, gaslighting Storm Troopers is also fun.

I've had this pack for quite awhile now but hadn't really done much with it. Oh I used some of the objects in builds, for instance just recently my challenge couple, Josh & Essa Hunter's Industrial Loft Penthouse. This couple also dressed up in Batuu outfits to sneak into the Lab when doing the StrangerVille aspiration. A couple days ago though, I finally got to see what Batuu looks like with my Sims. My couple eloped and I sent them there for a honeymoon since Josh is a huge video games geek and Star Wars fan.

First impressions? I love it! They are only there to look around, not do the aspirations though, just having some fun as a couple. I'll save the aspirations for another time. This is what they've done so far. I'll put it in a spoiler as to not bog down the thread. :)

Had some drinks at Olga's and met Hondo! Of course they had to play Sabacc with him. He cheated of course, but then my Sims caught on and started to cheat themselves. Essa actually won a pot worth over 500 credits!

Ate a couple dishes of the local cuisine, including some kind of salad from Docking Bay 7 and Ronto Wraps from Ronto Roasters.

Tried breaking into a storage box and almost got caught doing it. But later, succeeded and found a yellow Kyber Crystal.

Visited the Resistance Encampment in the forest and found some abandoned tents there to *ahem* Remember, newlyweds... ;)

Admired this X-Wing Starfighter, especially Josh, who totally geeked out over it.

Met Vi Moradi, who again, Josh geeked out over!

Bought themselves some lightsabers to pretend to be Jedi Knights!

And finally, here's just a couple scenery shots I took. I have a ton, but this is getting long. I love, love, love the lighting and graphics in Batuu. I wish the entire game looked like it does there, it's just so crisp and clear. The detailing is amazing!

Have yet to check out the Droids, but that's coming up next.

I don't get why this pack gets the grief that it does. I am not a huge Star Wars fan myself. I've only watched the original movie in a theater when I was a teen, so I don't even know much about the current lore. But that hasn't stopped me from thoroughly enjoying this pack. I haven't even barely touched the tip of the iceberg with it either. I wish more would give it a chance, I think they'd be pleasantly surprised. I was! :)

A new trio of students have arrived to my university prep school.
That means...

Student Vacations on Batuu, Baby!

And these three are going to Foxbury, so they are high on the Science part of Science Fiction.

It's been a while, but more members for the Star Wars clubs.

I must say I rather prefer having a corner just for Star Wars, then I know I won’t miss anything.

My Star Wars save is resting at the moment. I upgraded my screen, the new one is really good and I am happy with the increase in size but the colors were a bit different and it threw me off. Not super-much but enough for me to look at old saves and say that it felt different.

Think I will just start a new save for Star Wars when the time comes. There is still plenty of things to do for my farmers but I enjoy knowing that there are other saves and stories that I want to play.

Thank you all for the kind words! <3 <3 <3

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 Well, I mean... sort of rhetorical? But I think you're right, no elaboration is needed. That would be considered off topic anyway, I suspect. :p

I would love to get some recolors of the Boba Fett costume so I can actually make a Mandalorian to care for little Grogu. I know the forums would riot at any Star Wars updating but I still want more, at least in CAS. Even if it's the very last thing they ever do for Sims 4, I'd love a Batuu update.
