Quiz for 2017 - Your Sims 4 Highlights [What did you enjoy last year]
Heyah, since the year is winding down, I was just wondering what everyone was up to this year with their simmies. ~*~*~*~*~*~ 1. What was your favorite pack released this year and why? 2. Wha...
@Xoxk9 I was going to post a top 10 simming moments for 2017. I used to do this for TS3, but haven't for TS4. I will just post in yours because the way the forums work, my thread would probably just get merged with yours, which would probably be a mess because the format would be different.
Just be warned, this is a long post. >:)
1. What was your favorite pack released this year and why? Parenthood. It goes hand in hand with toddlers. No toddlers was one of the reasons why I could not get into TS4.
2. What was your favorite free update/challenge? Toddlers, of course
3. What would you like to see next year (if you're being creative, think outside of the box, beyond Seasons ;)) I need Uni because it is the most important missing pack for my game play. Aging will be turned off when my sims are teens and I will wait for Uni.
4. What was your favorite sims moment (did your favorite sim get married/have babies... find a cool challenge? made cool cc? upload a video you love?) I have ten of them and I will list them after the quiz. 5. What was your least favorite pack released this year and why? I don't like to focus on least favorites. 6. What do you hope to accomplish in the new year (will you try a new challenge?) I want to experiment with new ways to tell stories with The Sims.
Now, for number 4:
This spoiler tag hides #10 to #2:
The Death and Birth of my Simming Moments thread. 2017 is the year The sims 4 took off for me. My Simming Moments thread that was created at the launch of the game was filled with complaints, restarts, and game play that was not normal for me. When we got Toddlers and Parenthood, I felt the thread should be archived and started anew. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/A%20Mega%20Reboot/01%20It%20Starts/The%20End.png
Since I was digging deep into TS4 again with all my favorite sims, I was ready to do some serious rotational play, I created this little tool to track when I was ready to move on to the next stage of play. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/spreads.jpg
I had been dabbling around with all my immortal young adults living in San Myshuno, but it got really interesting when I put in Meadow Thayer. I had her living in the city and working in Social Media career. She was investigating the cat girls from Windenburg she has seen touring the city and was going to write about them. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/Game%20Play/50%20Snipptets/04-17-17_8-48-10nbspAM.png
I wonder if I might have Cassandra experiment with vampirism. She could use the experience for her memoir: I Was A Teenage Vampire. The Vampires Game Pack is not in my top ten because I have yet to play it fully, but I will.
This is only here because it relates to my number one. Toddlers are the starting point of my current game play scenario and I liked having the extra content. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/A%20Mega%20Reboot/15%20Random/10-24-17_7-37-02nbspPM.png
To be honest, pets are not a big feature for me. I was interested primarily in the new world and having another career. But I do plan on trying out a scenario I have been thinking about.
I had decided to build a replacement for my old computer several years earlier than expected for quite a few reasons. The Sims 4 wasn't one of them since it really doesn't need a more powerful machine, but fast load times and saving are even faster now. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%203/Game%20Play%2025/01%20OBC%20Matty/13f3e4c9-c385-4822-a5cd-028f47ea60ca.jpg
Liquid cooled CPU and GPU, M.2 NVME SSDs, Windows 10, and a virtual reality headset is making for some fun gaming.http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/20171022_180154.jpg
Parenthood is half the reason why I am back into playing TS4 now. I haven't gotten deep into yet, as most of my sims are still toddlers so values, science projects, curfew, grounding, and phases are just getting started. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/A%20Mega%20Reboot/17%20Story%20Progression/Melonie%20Bloom/12-09-17_10-09-07nbspAM.png
The other reason why I am back to playing The Sims 4 because I could not stand full grown children jumping out of the baby bassinet. Best toddlers ever! 'nuf said. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/A%20Mega%20Reboot/17%20Story%20Progression/Melonie%20Bloom/Perigrine%20Visit/12-09-17_6-21-56nbspPM_2.png
For the majority of the time I have been playing The Sims 4, I have been playing the same never aging young adults. They never married or became involved in deep relationships. They merely explored the content in new packs. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/Stuff%20Packs/05%20Movie%20Night/01/01-15-16_6-13-38nbspPM.png
And played around with custom content. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/Game%20Play/49%20Angry%20Birds/07%20CosPlay/10-01-16_2-59-11nbspPM.png
But now that we had toddlers and Parenthood, I started my game over again. I've started all favorite sims over by aging them all down to toddlers. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/ts4cover.png
My supernatural sims are being raised as toddlers in an orphanage. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/05-20-17_10-07-17nbspAM.png
My normal sims have been given parents and are scattered around the various worlds. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/A%20Mega%20Reboot/17%20Story%20Progression/12-02-17_9-53-03nbspAM.png
