8 years agoOld Sims in Town
So I've been playing for a few weeks now and I'm on my third or fourth generation of sims, and I'm trying to find partners for them that aren't other user's sims (because I want to be able to move th...
unsure if the image will size down but I made this for my friends recently...
(yeah I'm plagued by elderly, it's so depressing)
@PlanetAuto @VintageStarlette 🤓 ha! Thanking you both, the struggle with discount blue rinse is real.
As for my code it’s YNK4QYD but I only have one spot left, I had to let one go today because their sole sim had requested the hand of one of my leading ladies (who got married today, her kids attended) and after viewing their home, seeing their sole sim weeping by a fruit bowl was too much to handle ... so I actively ignored the problem and severed the link lol. If you find your request is hanging please don’t think I’m ignoring the request, just means the list is full & I’m waiting for someone to fall inactive to remove them and add you 🧙 (no peace sign so wizard out)
@VintageStarlette Wow, love the ‘old world Hollywood/Joan Crawford vibe’ you have, so disciplined, looks amazing. If you can push yourself past the sea of grey out the front of my place my vibe is ‘barely coping/full house vibe’ (I’ve loosely fashioned it on my neighbors IRL lol)
Back to the vintage NPCs I forgot to mention in my previous grumble “interact with them with caution”... Someone somewhere convinced me that if you interact with them enough they will be replaced with new NPCs, sadly all that did for me was give them an unspoken invite to visit me at my home 24/7. Once upon a time my house was luckily elderly free (except for granny and papa) but now they’re helping themselves to my chairs and often find them crying in the kids room 😐😐😐
@VintageStarlette One can only hope for an Art Deco, flapper girl set to grace us. That way your Louis Brooks dreams can be realised while my reclusive yet extravagant Gatsby dreams can play out.
I think it would be very hard to find decor that works together to suit your theme yet you’ve done it and it looks classy AF, be proud. Thanks for the kudos on the garden, sweeping the front like that helped me keep all the automated NPC intruders out of my house (the hedge at the front keeps them on the pavement), seriously at one stage I had a elderly visitor in every room, so awkward. 😞
Is there a solution to the elderly sim problem yet? I'm getting stuck in my current generation of sims because I can't find any non-elderly NPCs for them to marry and have kids with....
@AngelSpiritMuse Start a rival relationship with one of the career npc's. Once it reaches a certain level the npc will quit and be replaced by a new younger npc.
You can also marry & have kids with another player's sim, but you may not be able to move them in.
That's a bit of a time consuming workaround. I'm sure it works but... Really this is a problem that shouldn't be happening in the first place. Even all the new people in the new science Center grew elderly within two days!
Love the word usage of "ancient". haha
