@Gednaa I know you play a lot of Get Famous. Does Loveday have the "no touching" quirk?
(Which, since you play that pack a lot you've probably checked, but just making sure.)
I personally think "no touching" shouldn't apply to your family, but since I had to install a mod to prevent my famous Sims from reacting in disgust to family members and pets until they fixed that...
@Gednaa I just remember you. :D In this case, I remembered your saying you did at one point.
I hear you. I have one save (Super Sim) where everyone is famous and I get really annoyed that my famous Sim's grandchildren can't introduce themselves to their famous grandma. Like, are toddlers really that awed by movie stars?
My Super Sim is kind of down-to-earth (aside from being very ambitious about learning and doing all the things) and they were hounded out of the simple tinyhouse in a modest neighborhood where she grew up by the paparazzi and fans, so... yeah. She'd probably still live there if she could. OTOH, penthouses are good for that sort of thing because limited entryways. There are usually paparazzi hanging around the elevator lobby like a bunch of creepy stalkers, but at least they're not walking through the house, wandering around the garden, etc.
I meant react to their famous families!
@Gednaa I hope so! I did have a famous cousin drop by recently, and a child "attempted introduction" and did the screaming thing and was locked out of talking to him. :P I'd love to see that get fixed, but... yeah.
Just to see how being a celebrity works in Cottage Living, I bought some famous sims down from household management. Not only do you have all the animals to look after, crops to tend, but screaming fans too. Still can't go anywhere without people screaming in their faces. The idea of raising kids with this combo is frightening! I thought the Brits (which I am :D ) would be a bit different, but no, just the same old same old... worth the experiment, but not a good match for GF. I would imagine we'd have kids in our farmhouses with the same problems, so it's not for me, I'd love to have a famous Llama though! :D My beloved Banana-Llama is well deserving of fame! lol
@Gednaa Yeah, I took my Super Sim to Henford-on-Bagley and moved her into the lovely empty house in Old New Henford with the rest of her family. They're all five star celebrities. It was fine, but we mainly raised chickens and did the aspiration while her merhusband swam in the river compulsively. 😉 We did not attempt villager errands for that reason.
(We left her adult sister in the San Myshuno penthouse.)
We ended up missing the city and moved back. I like confining the paparazzi to the elevator lobby.
That made me giggle! the thought of you confining the paparazzi to the lobby. I don't know much of San Myshuno, I went there for a while and couldn't stand people wandering in and out of my apartment! People just randomly appeared! Nowadays, I get so bored, I just frighten the hell out of my sims by locking them in a haunted house and cheating all their good moodlets off them so they're terrified! I won't do it to kids though! I now make children in CAS so that the whole toddler stage is missed out. I loved toddlers, but it's unplayable now. The kids barely know the parents when they age up (famous or not) sims seem to be getting worse at bonding than ever. I'm sure there used to be a lot more caring and sharing going on. Now they don't even keep in touch when they become adults, like they're complete strangers. I spend most of my time building or creating sims now. game playing time has gone down a lot! :/
I like San Myshuno, but I do lock my doors and I also tend to have Sims in penthouses or The Old Salt House. The starter apartments are kind of annoying (in a good way? depends on your playstyle), with noisy neighbors and the like, but I like how lively it is.
With the doors locked, the Paparazzi tend to congregate in the elevator lobby and play on their phones all day. In the burbs, I've found they try to congregate around your pool, hang out in the garden, try to let themselves into your house (but the door's locked)...
I lived in 1 Torendi Towers for a short while, where people would randomly wander in even with the doors locked (???) and before that one of the other apartments which had noisy neighbours which my sims hated! Also that weird one with the blonde hair and bright suit ( can't remember his name now!) kept coming and complaining to us if we played the piano, so yet another move! Back in Sulani now, and my sims are happy again. Haven't had time to play them much as I do a lot on the gallery these days. Thanks for all the info @xochiquetzl_xkvn 🙂. xxx
@GednaaI think there was a bug where door locks just didn't work on apartments that they've since fixed. Yeah, that would drive me CRAZY. Also you're talking about Diego Lobo! :D
My Sims tend to live in Torendi Tower, too, but I always edit out the basketball court. I've also lived in Fountainview Penthouse, The Old Salt House, and... I forget the name, a super annoying starter apartment next door to Salim Benali, who is a nice Sim but a super annoying neighbor. 😉
So... the refusing the toddler a hug is still not fixed! I've had it happen twice in the past few days since I started letting them have kids again, in the hope that the bug was fixed, but obviously it isn't. Please fix this, it ruins the enjoyment of the game. I also got the sad about evil moodlet agains a toddler again!! Heeeeelp. Toddlers are impossible!!! My sims are all good,, cheerful, family traits! What????
