Lifestyles and Sentiments?

It sounds like our sims might actually have some more depth and personality. I hope they truly feel unique with this system.

    I really hope an update to emotions, whims, aspirations and traits is coming as well. All these systems if improved can make TS4 the best Sims game ever.

    If it's just with this pack, what happens when you leave Mt. Komorebi and go home? Does you sim forget everything? Do they suddenly remember everything if the return to Mt. Komorebi? I really hope it's a patch feature.


    The problem is that you shouldn’t have to go Mt. Komorebi at all to get a lifestyle update.

    I’m really worried that these lifestyles are just going to be related to this snow pack and not at all a personality update like we think.

    I hope so too. I have a feeling, though, that if it's tied to the pack, no matter what, people are going to be angry. It will also probably be buggy (though I hope not). I have a feeling that anyone who's expecting a fundamental change to the sims and they way they act and interact are going to be disappointed.

    I'm keeping my expectations in check. I'm looking forward to the live stream and seeing how it actually works.

    Edit: Ever quote the wrong person? Yeah, that's what I changed in this edit.

    It's not really a sims personality overhaul if it only affects sims in one world. It needs to be in the pre-patch.

    I agree with what Dannydanbo said about personality overhaul. The personality overhaul needs to be in the patch for better performance if all the sims in the game are getting a personality overhaul. The reason why I say this is because the game randomly spawns sims. And their personality needs to be overhauled too. Otherwise it could cause conflict between game codes which is basically what bugs in a game are.

    Hmm...

    My belief is that the new system would be tied to owning the pack but not to a geographical destination in the game.

    You can gain or lose fame in every world. You can gain or lose reputation in every world. Both these two systems came with a pack.

    Just me guessing but I believe it will be available in all worlds, provided that you buy the pack.

    We will see what happens.

    I'm going to keep my hopes down. I had very high hopes for NAPS, and I have it disabled in my game.


    I’m trying to do the same at the moment. I just don’t think it will be as good as what people expect it to be. I very much hope that I’m wrong mind you. I’m seeing people refer to it as a personality overhaul which tells me that the expectations for this feature are already set very high and I’m worried that it’s just not going to live up to peoples expectations. I guess we will have to wait and see though. :#

    I think it will be tied to the pack, not just that world, (just like NAPS aren't only in Evergreen Harbour). I think to access the lifestyles and sentiments you will need to buy the pack. I am hopeful though that the base game update pre-patch will have personality improvements and then this paid for feature will add onto that.
