Looking to purchase some packs, need some reccommendations
TLDR: looking for well thought out opinions on some of the more recent packs. This question is aimed at people who own some of the packs already because I want to hear your thoughts on why or why not you would recommend it. I'm a long time sims player and I like to reward myself with a pack or two every once in a while (usually when I accomplish something really difficult) so I've amassed several of the packs. It's time for a reward so I'm trying to figure out what I want. I haven't really been paying attention to the new releases so I'm not sure what to try next before the Black Friday sale. So please help by telling me your faves. My playstyle revolves around building and rotational play. I have a few worlds where I've almost rebuilt everything in the save file and created complex multigenerational family trees. I am in my cottagecore era so lately my sims usually find themselves running a farm or a bakery. I like family play but I also like more interesting and adventurous stuff. When I look at packs, I look at gameplay and BB items because I could not care less about CAS. I am that person that will get sims off the gallery or randomize them. My favorite packs have been Cottage Living (obviously), Romantic Garden, Get Together, Jungle Adventure, and the two plant kits (bc I am a shameless plant mom irl so all my sims have to be as well). My biggest regrets are Snowy Escape, Vampires, and Dream Home Decorator. While some of the BB stuff is great, the gameplay falls flat for me personally and I don't use them a lot. I am definitely going to get the Castle Kit but I would like to try out one or two of these packs: Horse Ranch: the nectar brewing system seems cool but also horses and goats would complete my farm dreams. But I had similar thoughts about Snowy Escape and I regret getting that pack. Life and Death: It's new so I know there's a lot of hype but beyond the hype, is it something that's worthwhile having in your game long term? Bust the Dust: I love the idea of dust bunnies and more chores for my sims but is it still buggy? I know when it came out it was massively bugged. Moschino Stuff: I've avoided it because I know it's focused on CAS but everyone on youtube raves about the photography aspect being great for family gameplay. Is this true or is it just youtuber nonsense? For Rent: I don't know if I'm super thrilled with the BB and I missed the hype when it came out but I did hear the rental system was bugged. As someone who does build a lot of townhouses and apartment buildings, I think this would be great but is the gameplay actually playable? And how is the world? Book Nook: I currently use cc for wall to wall, floor to ceiling bookshelves that are in a different style and love them but I'm concerned about the glitching. Do these slot together the way the shelving in Dream Home Decorator does? Because those get randomly deleted all the time so it's really annoying. Lovestruck: I know nothing about this pack but I've used the SimDa Dating mod before and disliked it so I don't think I'd like this pack but I am curious to hear about your opinions on it, specifically anything that surprised you. Crystal Creations: I'm not super into CAS and when I am in CAS I definitely don't utilize any of the jewelry but I like the idea of making jewelry and running a jewelry shop using GTW. BB also looks amazing. What I want to know more about is the crystal gameplay. Things I would love to hear your opinions on: Gameplay: tell me what you loved, what you hated, what you're mildly annoyed at, etc. Did anything get boring for you? Did something surprise you? Build/Buy: What items from the packs do you use the most? Which ones do you use the least? Do the items fit well with any other TS4 content? World: if the pack comes with the world, how satisfied are you with it? Is fun to explore? What kinds of things are there to interact with? What are your favorite lots to build on? Are there any special collectibles? Lot type: if there is a new lot type, what do you think about it? Do you use it in your normal gameplay or is it something you use rarely? Bugs: Are there any bugs in the pack that I should worry about? I know the team eventually fixes most of the bugs but until then, I'd prefer to put off purchasing something that's extremely buggy (like with Wedding Stories). Playstyle: tell me your playstyle and how the pack works with your playstyle. Do you find yourself using it a lot or not at all?
Sims4 Error 134:12e29241 - Being unable to play, anyone else??
I can log into the homepage, and then when I go to actually play, it says error 134:12e29241:aa830a7c I contacted EA and they told me it was a bug, and to keep an eye on the forums for an answer. I have deleted and reinstalled, repaired, removed mods, done a clean boot, etc. , and nothing has worked. Anyone know what it is or how to fix it? Thanksss
For Rent Infinite Loading Screen.
I have a Residental Rental lot and I've decorated the place with furntiure cc. Ever since the October 22nd update I've been having infinite loading screens and it's because of the Residental Rental lots. I found out it was the cc thats been causing it. When I first found out I removed the cc that had been causing that glitch and everything was fine. A day or 2 later it happened again and again and again. 2 days before the day I'm writing this, I went to Sims 4 Studio and updated all my furniture and it worked till now. Looks like theres another furntiure cc causing me problems again. I havent downloaded any furniture, even before the October 22nd update. I'm asking the EA to please fix this. I got the For Rent pack not to long ago just for my new save file now it's causing me problems. Great. Why is it always something going on in the Sims, please fix your game!! This just had to happen with my save file that I'm most passionate about.🤦♀️

For Rent changing lot types to Generic all the time
Hi I've gone to try and buy a residential rental as part of my game but every time I download a lot of the gallery the game is changing the lot type from Residential Rental to Generic and then refusing to accept I have a rental lot. I cannot then change the lot traits for each apparently/unit and the whole For Rent idea fails. So if I by a lot, it comes up as Residential Rental, as a building downloads and places you see the individual units appear but once the game places the unit the lot becomes Generic and the rental fails and doesn't appear in the list of rentals in Live mode. Please look at the images which show the squence of the issue. I've tried to repair my installation but that hasn't fixed it and I don't know what is causing it to fail as I do not use any Mods that link into the For Rent system. I've never encountered this issue before the Life and Death update / pack (which bought along with Lovestruck at the time time) so assume something in one of these may be causing the issue? Any ideas what the issue may be and how I can fix it as this is something I want to play with again but cannot at present :( Klaire
