Telescopes and Microscopes

Preach~~~

I'm hoping with the outdoor expansion pack we might at least get travel size telescopes they can bring camping :)

Reminds me of cartoons where they pull giant mallets out from behind their backs and such. Considering the small sizes of the lots, it's not sensible to make them so large. (Imo they're also really silly looking.)

Never bought a telescope or microscope in the Sims 4 because they are so huuuge... come on no one wants to have such big machines in their house or in their garden. It just looks ugly.

Yeah I've had them but I use them and then put them back in my inventory after, which is so annoying.

Ohh that's so smart! I might try that :)

Haha I found it perplexing how the empty lots are much smaller in Sims 4 than previous games, yet some of the stuff you'd expect to put in the yard in this game (microscopes and telescopes in particular) are massive. Oh well, I just used the chess board for the logic skill from lvl 1 to lvl 10.

Exactly!! It just makes me so sad, I'm a big science freak and I loooooove microscopes - I've always thought that slides could easily be used as art, and then it appeared in ts4!! It's one of the few things I was excited about. But why couldn't they have made it a chess table type object or something to put on a desk instead?

@blueasbutterfly‌ Overall, putting them on the rooftop doesn't really look "too horrible" if you go the "modern" route with building; however, this type of design doesn't "blend" well in Willow Creek (if you ask me).

Plus, I really don't want to have build all of my sim's homes like this either. So, hopefully we'll see either smaller scaled versions of these items or much larger lots. :)

Why are they so BIG?!

I really liked being able to look through my telescope on a small balcony and the idea of a microscope sounded really cool, that is until I actually went to buy it and it wouldn't fit anywhere -_-

I wish there were the option of either having them regular sized or the larger size because let's be honest, they're just ridiculous right now.

Agreed. I rarely buy either the microscope or the telescope because they're so ridiculous. But what can we expect from a world in which babies miraculously jump from bassinets to become school-aged children and folks can build rockets ships in their backyard for only 5000 simoleons?

It does solve the problem! :)
