New Scenarios

Good old Detective career should be good for No skills, no problem. Promotions are not skill gated, all the sim needs is 500 satisfaction points for the Observant reward trait, and they are set for the career. Also some of the early promotions dish out lots of useless swag that can get sold.

I'm excited to find some weirder scenarios this time around!

What are your thoughts about the new scenarios?

Too Many Toddlers - I ignored b.c I often have way more than what the scenario was asking and the scenario doesn't add anything to how I play with them.

Super Rich Supervillain - Sounds interesting, b.c I play legacy and have to raise so many families having a super villain born to the family would be interesting. The only issue is the game doesn't really give you a way to be a super villain with the lack of consequences in the game. However I guess if you can manage to get a bad rep, set a goal to furnish a secret basement with stolen goods for later generations to find it could be fun.

Unlucky Chef - This one I am excited to try, I plan to use this for one of the heirs who will strive to open their own restaurant. Having the odds actually stacked against my sim instead of simply pretending they are sounds fun.

Troublemaker - This sounds fun until you realize that having bad grades don't really do anything, you can't runaway, you can't crush on the bad kids in school, you can't fall in with the bad crowd. All you can do is get bad qualities that don't really majorly impact gameplay and sims won't treat you any differently from a sim with good qualities. I want to like this scenario, but the lake of consequences and teen gameplay makes it very hard to to do anything other than imagine stuff is happening.

Extraterrestrial Researcher - While I eventually planned to have one heir seek to discover sixim, I've no issue with activating this scenario when that time comes. There is a bit a gameplay to help you do this, but the actual discovery of the planet sixim or even discovering an alien is lackluster. I feel like this scenario will have a fun journey, but with no actual in game content for discovering these things, the ending will feel a bit empty.

Rom-Com - Without an attraction system, without any challenges and without any meaningful consequences for actions, this is nothing more than a great marketing title placed on an empty box. You can't even try to get a clumsy and childish sim to crush on a serious loner who keeps turning them down none the less a rom-com. lol

No Skills No Problem - looks like a challenge and I am interested in a challenge.

Sounds like fun everyone!
@Netzspannung thanks for sharing Luke's story. Bummer that the rocket bug isn't fixed in other saves. I might do some more testing too.

@Mr_MuffinTop I think we are interested in the same ones :)

@JustMeAlb @EnkiSchmidt @Daravi interesting ideas about No Skills, No Problem!

I decided to start the Supervillain scenario with Eliza Pancakes. Who else.

Decided to do a test run through with a scenario with Vanessa Jeong with the unlucky chef one seemed interesting enough. Was thinking, okay just gonna get that cooking skill up and she'll be good but...

First try? Automatically got a fire. So a ruined counter and poor grilled cheese later she decided to eat it, take a bath and go to bed.

That didn't go too well like at all. Every attempt seems to be a death sentence. Think I might try a skill building book to see if it'll help. Had left her to her own devices for awhile and she decided to autonomously cook to only have a THIRD fire annnnnnnnd I was too late to save her and she pretty much bit the dust. :sweat_smile:

Might give it another go as I do like a challenge. Makes me wisht here was an unlucky trait to make things for sims even more chaotic and even a trait for being a bad cook.

I made some mistakes with my no skills, no problem that's why it took 68 days.

Summary, I've got the highest ranking of the science career, have built the dublicator, I travelled twice to selvadora, bought enough local stuff to survive the trips through the jungle and temple. Discover that I couldn't dublicate the treasures, became a spellcaster, practise until I've learned the dublicate spell, with this spell it was easy, dublicate both high value treasures and sold them during the garden sale with the 300% price mark up.

The best thing, after the scenario is completed, my sim is now able to learn new skills, finally. :D

I thing, I'm going to replay this scenario, it was fun.

@Daravi Sounds like fun!
@LadyKyn Haha sorry it was frustrating but thank you for entertaining the rest of us with the screenshots XD
(I wonder if a sushi chef would have better luck? Or if there are hidden surprises there too?)

James Turner did a video playing the Unlucky Chef scenario, I can't cook without catching fire in The Sims 4. Even after maxing the cooking skill, buying the most expensive stove, and buying the fire sprinkler system he had fires.

Somehow I feel like I want to chicken out and go Mixology instead :D But, I'm SO going to do this scenario. Just have to finish at least a couple of the ongoing ones. Currently doing No Skills, gotten a few good ideas here, so thanks for that, people :)

The Extraterrestrial Researcher actually sounded more interesting than it is. At least for me. I've not even built the rocket yet, then I need to upgrade it at least a bit, then the Watcher knows how many times I need to launch it to get all the aliens. I hope the RNG Gods are with me.

Also in the process of doing Power Couple. Its a drag, because I forgot how utterly boring I think the Buissiness career is :| I also think I made my couple a bit too boring as well. I moved Caleb Vatore with them, at least he is more interesting to me, being a vampire.

Supervillain scenario is going pretty good too. Decided to change things up a bit, and moved my sim in to an apartement in San Myshuno. Its been sooo long since I lived there, should provide a change of pace (and climate *brrrr* cold winter there right now). I completely forgot how it was to live in a place with freezing winters and heatwaves in summer.

@Netzspannung I have not had any trouble interacting with rockets. I built and fully upgraded one in the Carnaval scenario (minus the wormhole upgrade, I think) and I don't have any mod spesifically to fix the rockets. Might be one of my other mods actually "fixes" them without me knowing it :D

The new scenarios look more interesting. I am going to try one tomorrow. I love that you can now choose an existing household already in the game.
