My Wedding Stories General Discussion Thread

To spite the bugs I recommend purchasing this pack for the world,wedding cakes,buy build and slowdancing.

I would buy the gamepack for the world, CAS and B/B if they had left the base game weddings intact with the installation of My Wedding Stories. It would have been awesome to be able to use all the items to improve base game weddings while waiting for them to fix the wedding gameplay in the pack. Does anyone know if it is possible to still use base game weddings with pack installed? It is my understanding from things I have read that it doesn't work. I know there are mods to make things work, but I don't use mods.

Question: If the MWS weddings replace basegame weddings, how do you get the unlockable items? MWS weddings don't have goalposts. Are those items now unlocked, or what?

Actually I'm gonna tag @EA_Cade because it seemed like an oversight or something.

I've reached out to the Sims team for clarification on this. I'll let you know when I get more information to share.

When you tell the team, call it the Gordy Glitch. It'll make it seem more fun for them.

Also ask them about dragons.

Thanks for the tag @kaiwrysims .

This was an oversight but was already on their radar before I brought it up. I'll do my best to keep you in the loop, but the most likely source of info on this will be a future Laundry List.

So this weekend I was gifted this pack which I wasn't expecting. I had no intentions of buying it after all the reviews. I've been playing it the past 2-3 days and have now a neutral opinion on it it's not my worst pack but not the best. It's not as bad as some have said however it seems to vary with different simmers. Currently I play on a low end laptop with visual settings at low and no mods or CC. So far my game has lag but nothing different from before the pack. CAS an BB are ok nothing amazing. I do believe I am in the minority where I actually don't like the world it's soulless with nothing going on in it. However I am someone who alters all lots anyway to what I want in the worlds but this world just seems more empty then others it is a gamepack version of the mt komorebi modern area which I find has the same issue.

As for the gameplay it was not as bad as I anticipated. Most of it worked for me however I had a basic wedding of just 2 sims. They walked down the isle and exchanged vows without any issues. I placed the cake in the fridge for as long as possible and they could eat a slice without it being spoiled. First dance was not an issue and the spousal kiss went ok. However and this is a big tip make your bride and groom as a group (if you have get together) this helped me a lot. I am not the simmer this pack is aimed at as my sims always elope and I never use events in the calendar. My advice is keep it as simple as possible. The biggest issue I faced was my sims going off to do other activities such as play on the computer. The lot I played on was the Thebe Estate I edited as a wedding venue and am now in the process of fully renovating it into a wedding venue that would function better in my game. Despite this I can see how this pack will not work for a bigger wedding with guests etc. It worked ok for my gameplay style and for me it's on par with dine out which works ok but could be better.

I had to test this interaction as it wouldn't work for me but glad to see it's fine, the only thing is I missed the first part, Thorne thought it was a great idea to flip knife and by the animation he grabbed the wrong end. I have to go back and try and get it again before they take it out or something hehe. :D

Ah yes, I do love it when vendors crash my sims wedding and help themselves to wedding cake. YET YOU REJECT MY HAGGLING.

@gordy, I loaded into a household that has never been played to make sure it wasn't a household which inherited the unlocks from previous generations without me remembering.

It's still locked with MWS installed, and the tooltip still says you need to complete the goaled wedding event in order to unlock it. So it looks like anyone who has the pack will need to either use console commands (i.e. cheat codes) or mods to access it, and any other unlockables tied to the old wedding event.

Hopefully they'll unlock those in an update.

Or even better make the base game weddings available again under the goaled events so that players have a choice as to how they want to have a wedding play out. I think it’s such a pity every time they remove something from the game, because that also means we get fewer options and options are what help each individual player customize the game to their liking.

Rofl not going to get over this being a formal outfit, guess it'll fit a certain type of sim, but on the plus side I appreciate more pajamas for male sims tho. :p

Maybe that suit is supposed to be for a quickie Vegas type of wedding? It reads Leisure Suit Larry to me.
