Hey Simmies, I realized today there are a ton of gameplay features I’ve never even explored. Which ones haven’t you ever used?If someone mentions one that you’ve personally used and love - shout it out! Let us know why you love it. It’d be cool to learn about some fun/surprising aspects of the game I’ve never played with yet. Also, try and limit it to the packs you own. Don’t say you’ve never tried spell casting because you don’t have RoM. 🙃Here’s a few that I’ve never tried out yet...- Veterinarian - Pet Training Skill - Making a Sim with a bad reputation- Tech Guru Career- Whatever the Sulani island spirits are called- Flower Bunny Day / Egg Hunt- Gardening splicing. Honestly, I didn’t even know anything about this until I read the recent patch notes. Looking forward to leveling up in this skill! How about you?

The cupcake machine from BGWoodworking tableThe bubble table thing from CLthe alien clothing from GTW

I actually have quite a lot I'm yet to explore.- Pet Training Skill- Astronaut Career- Gardening Career- Fisherman Part-Time Job- Earthquake Zone Lot Trait- Celebrities with Poor Reputation- Owning a Restaurant- Part 3 of the Strangerville Mystery (... I just really don't like lightning, okay? I'm not sure if the lightning caused by the strange weather goes away with the settings.)- Sentient Gnomes

I haven’t used the woodworking table much either, @SelinaKyles! Maybe I’ll give it a try. I sometimes play the cupcake machine on the very rare occasion my Sim has a big enough house ? For some strange reason I enjoy making crab cakes and salmon croquettes with it. I wish they’d just add these items to the normal oven.

Haha @AriaMad2 I definitely suggest you give the earthquake trait a try. It is quite the shock!

I started a Super Sim save and started to make a list of all the things to do with her and realized how much I have not done yet:Veterinarian/owning a vet clinic.Exploring the ruins (I went in one and then left, never even got below the first level).Roomba-style vacuum.Critic career.Just got Island Living, so everything with it.Cop Career.Making a clone.Getting pregnant by alien abduction.And many more!It makes me realize how much I stick to specific storylines. I want to branch out and explore more things.

What’s a gameplay feature you’ve NEVER used? New ideas to spice up your game!

I try to at least check out new features when they get released in new packs, but lately I've been super busy with my 100 Baby+ Challenge. So I've missed out on most of the Island Living content and also haven't looked much into Discover University yet. Need to catch up!!!

Gardening is super fun btw. @popstarissa plus you can make rather good money with it.

The Fishing career is so lame, the pay is absolutely pitiful, don’t bother.

I haven’t done:
Running any business or restaurant
Being a Veterinarian
The dog training that involves the obstacle course
Aliens and alien pregnancy
Military career
Strangerville mystery
Volcanic activity lot trait
Bad growing up traits from Parenthood
Bad reputation
Jungle Adventure relics
That jewel crown from Get Famous
Secret Society
Robotics
All the organizations and sports from DU

Most of them I’m looking forward to trying, but a few I have no real interest in. Good thread!

@babajayne ah! The jewel crown. That’s a good one. My Sim comes across a lot of gemstones but I’ve never tried them in that Thanos hat yet.

@Derella I didn’t even know frog breeding was a thing!

@Prink34320V2 I also have not tried any of the freelancing careers or Conservationist. I just threw one of my Sims into Uni for Biology with the goal of making her a Marine Biologist. We’ll see!

I’ve heard a lot of people say how fun the Scientist career is but I’ve never tried that one either. Maybe that’ll be my next goal!

@Simmingal ah yes the bee box! Whenever I scroll past the Honey Cake on the Cook... menu I always remember I should try out the bee box. I don’t really have any Simmie families that seem like the type either, though.
