My Wedding Stories: Alot of Missed Opportunities

A theme with a lot of packs are good ideas but poor execution. Here is just some stuff off the top of my head that could make My Wedding Stories a better pack.

Assign seating- Before there is the wedding, have the sim go to the venue and have them choose where everyone will sit. That way the AI doesn't have to try too hard to figure out where everyone has to go so and it should run smoother.

Debt- Weddings are expensive. Sometimes people pend way too much on their wedding day. Just brought a new wedding dress for 100,000 simoleons, the ring was 200,000 simoleons ect. Now the repo man is showing up and is taking everything you and your spouse we're going to build a future with. The longer it takes you to clear the debt the more your romantic interactions fail due to stress. Will you stay together or will this break your true love.

Divorce- Sometimes things just don't work out. Split up your assets. Who gets custody of the kids? You can agree to on times when you can see your kids and pay child support. Relationship is impacted if you do or don't. And different scenarios on how the relationship ended. Separation doesn't always have to be messy.

Wedding Crashers- Let's say maybe before you were getting married you may have forgotten to end relationship with someone. They show up and confess their love for you. What is your sims to do? Call of the wedding? Tell them to beat it and go through with the wedding? Point is if you set it up then it should happen. It's your story after all.

Romantic Poses- Holding hands, Kissing, the cutting of the cake.

Strip-I mean Dancers!- It's rated T but it could still be heavily implied. A fireman or cop shows up and does a crazy dance. I mean we have the bubble blower for gosh sakes.

Soulmate Aspiration That Means Something-When I go through the trouble of doing the soulmate aspiration it means these things will be committed to each other until death do them part. You know what-even in death they will be together because they are soulmates. So absolutely no cheating or romancing other sims, ever.

    I'm disappointed in the pack. I wanted to see different wedding styles and traditions. I wanted it to be a celebration of love and diversity.
  • I lot of great ideas in this thread, I agree with most of them.
    I wish for an option to select multiple actions for the cermony and let it play out instead of this micro managing (it’s tideous and it look so stiff lol! :# There’s no flow in the cermony at all!).

    Also wonder why there’s so few activities for the parties? Can this PLZ be added later on?! There could have been activities like Bubble blower / Karaoke / Keg stand for Bach parties. Even a lot of BG features could have been added like Flirting / Gaming / Fighting.

    There’s also no hiking in Tartosa (eg. hike to a romantic spot where you could propose). I feel like all worlds, at least the ”vacational” worlds needs something like hiking or an option for multiple Sims to go for a walk together. (could give your Sims different sentiments). That makes me discover the world in gameplay. You can walk around by clicking ”Go here” but it’s tideous, there’s nothing to interact with in the world and Sims don’t react to their surounding so I see no point in doing it. It’s a shame bc the worlds are always beautiful with nice sounds to listen to.

    No interactable objects / Hiking / Option to go for a walk (1-multiple Sims) makes the worlds just feel like a beautiful empty shell that I’ll never use.
  • I believe the missed opportunity here was to not include allowing a sim to open a wedding planner business. I haven't purchased this wedding pack because I am not yet ready for my sim to get married, but I would have purchased it if my sim could have opened a wedding planner business. I think EA would have had more buyers for this pack had they included the career opportunity of being able to become a wedding planner.
