Things You Didn't Know!
Let's share those simming discoveries that you didn't know about. Which means we might not know either!
Forum Discussion
There's a whole thread on The Sims Forums with 386 pages and counting. I will bring out some things from there though.
- After successful attempt at introduction, if your sim proceeds to be rude to the celebrity, they may eventually shun your sim, disabling all the interactions with them.
- From an errand from the Creature Keeper, your sim can obtain food called Mushroom Mash, which allows them to understand birds (you'll get what birds are talking about as a text notification).
- The stereo that comes as a reward from a High School Prom event can play you Prom Night music.
- You can turn Servos into human sims by gifting them a Death Flower scented arrangement.
- Toddlers can destroy unfinished school projects.
- Sims with certain traits like certain toppings on their ice cream.
- There's a hidden colossal head in the oceans of Tartosa, waiting to scare you.
- Brave horses can comfort spooked horses, calming them down.
- In High School career day, three sims called to present aren't from random careers. Sim 1 is either a Space Ranger (Astronaut career) level 10, Chef (Culinary career) level 7, or Doctor level 7, Sim 2 is either a Boss (Criminal career) level 7, Manager (Business career) level 7, or Detective level 7, and Sim 3 is either a Diamond Agent (Secret Agent career) level 10, Professional Athlete (Athlete career) level 7, or Officer (Military career) level 7.
- Babies conceived from the lighthouse woohoo get a special happy moodlet when visiting the lighthouse.
And more that don't come to my mind at the moment...
Oh, some bottom of the iceberg knowledge!
Remember the City Living feature where friends could invite you to go to see performances, such as circuses, operas, musicals etc. Oh these used to be buggy, telling you that the event is occurring, but once the time came, they didn't call you back to get your sim to go there...
Anyway, one message that can come after one performance is this:
SpoilerThe Murder of 1313 21 Chic Street was such a terrifying performance. Who would have thought it was all a true story. I feel sorry for the poor saps that live in that apartment.So yeah, the infamous 1313 21 Chic Street did have a murder happen in it (and thus the chalk outline there), and a musical was made out of it.
As a Needs TLC apartment, there are some things that cannot be removed (the drainer in the bathroom for example). Yeah, no removing that chalk outline either.
It was great that the description of the murder and musical appeared after sims attended the City Living performance was referring to and tied in with the appartment that the chalk outline @EgonVM 🙂 It was great the way the sims developers tied them together.
It would be even better cross-pack gameplay if a sim in detective career could solve the murder and the outline was then removed. I might have to try this as an experiment and see if it is possible.
With the Frequent Traveler lifestyle, when your sim is visiting another world and meets a local there, they can ask the local about their home region. There's a special notification that pops up, with Snowy Escape and all previous worlds (except Magnolia Promenade) having a special text telling about the features of the world. Onlyabidoang showcases these all in this video.
However, there are two he didn't show: one he explained and the other he missed.
These are Batuu and Realm of Magic.
Yup, despite the interaction not showing up there, Batuu does have a special text for this interaction. It is the following:
SpoilerOh, welcome to Batuu! Currently, as you can see, Batuu is under the protection of the First Order. You can find out more about the First Order in the... First Order District. Mostly, you'll be spending time in the central hub though, at Black Spire Outpost. There's Oga's Cantina, Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities. Lot's to do and to eat. And hey, you didn't hear it from me, but some fishy things have been going on deep in the forest.But also, it turns out that despite technically being part of Glimmerbrook, Realm of Magic has a special notification separate from Glimmerbrook. This can be seen in-game when asking it there. It says the following (under spoilers to give you a chance to go in-game to find out):
SpoilerAh, so you have discovered the Magic Realm, traveler. Few can say as much. I dare not reveal all the realm's secrets, but there are a few notes of interest that might help you along your patch.
Seek out any of the three Sages within the Magic Headquarters to begin a magical journey. It is the balance of the three houses which keeps our realm together, otherwise we'd be torn apart by the vortex. On the outskirts of the main platform are various portals that you can explore. One portal leads to Casters Alley, which is a magical marketplace. Another to the dueling grounds, while the third leads to our gardens. That is all I will say.It's fun to see that the lore of Realm of Magic is showcased there, as otherwise the only other part for it as I know is from the Realm of Magic developer livestream.
