Let's watch: Maxis Monthly - Episode 1

Wow, that's pretty awesome. I thought they said terrain tools weren't possible though? Does this mean the other stuff they said wasn't possible is now possible? Maybe I'm remembering wrong. But either way, very excited and I don't even build anymore. xD Can't wait to see what gets made with the new tools though!

That was worth watching. I'm more interested in the new career and the sketch pad but terrain tools are good too. :smiley:

I'm more happy for the fashion career also but the terrain tools gave me a great feeling for the builders. Will be great to see what they do with it.

Can you really call it a fashion career though? I didn't get to see much of it, never mind that they didn't even tell us if there were any branches?

No offense intended, but that was so lame.

A fashion influencer career? Maxis you can do better. That was just so so lame......I'm so sad...TS4 just really isn't coming through.

It's not a modelling career, it's not a stylist career, it's another stupid instagram career. I like the new digital art sketch pad, but you can't even do fashion sketches, so....what the actual..... There's no fabric sampling, just writing more articles on the computer....how fun. And the animations look like they are straight out of the Sims Mobile, so disappointing. I thought it was going to be a better update.

ALso, the digital art sketch pad does everything an easel does....it's a cool object but really, why are we getting another object that does everything we already can do in the game? TS4 can't afford that luxury with it's lack of content. So disappointed.

It’s free.
It’s designed so you can paint from reference on the fly, which makes sense.
Not everyone wants to take an easel out.
We’re also getting terrain tools.

It’s a good patch. Let’s not jump to doom and gloom.

You’re holding “paid content” expectations for a free patch.

They said they weren’t going to say everything regarding the career. Every career so far has had 2 branches though.

I think they did briefly mention them but not totally certain. the lady sim was further along on a branch as a stylist or something iirc.

As long as I have the ability to change the way townies dress. I'm going to use it. That's the blow me away part.

And...live stream is over. No new content confirmed for October because they are "polishing" it and making it nice and shiny. However, we did get a glimpse of what looks like a TERRAIN TOOL, a new career coming (no word yet on whether it is an active career, a form of self-employment, or a rabbit hole career), and what looks possibly like a sketchbook and maybe the ability to create art on the computer, if my interpretation of what I saw is correct.

One use of the terrain tool that I would love to see in this game would be the ability to create my childhood home, which was built on a hill. The basement door exits at the bottom of the hill, and the front door and kitchen sliding door exit at the top of the hill. Yes, it was a two-story home. Part of it was underground under the hill.

Even the name 'Fashion Influencer' sounds so stupid and pretentious.

Does this mean we're finally gonna be able to build garages ??

I was thinking the same thing -- maybe they needed the terrain tools so you can build a detached garage next to a house on a foundation before they could add cars. :)

A new career, terrain tools and I'm pretty positive they were hinting at the possibility of cars. :dizzy:

I thought so too UNTIL I realized instead of placing a garage door, he just painted the walls black... which people do already sooooo nah I don't think cars is going to be a thing yet.

Possibly, I'd like to think that was part of the grand tease and it wasn't ready to show. They might do what they did with toddlers and just surprise us the day of. Either way, I'm still excited about what we definitely are getting. I can finally make a garden shed without having to remove my foundation.

@stilljustme2
That makes a lot of sense, with the way things are currently if you built your house with a foundation, your "garage" would also need a foundation, cars wouldn't work very well with that system. Again, this is speculation, but it makes perfect sense we'd get this update right along with cars.
