Audio and other Bugs/Changes
Been playing through a bit of both games and noticed some bugs or changes compared to the original Wii version of both games. MySims: Buildings that had two songs will play either one or the other on repeat instead of going back and forth. Unless intentional, building furniture or houses will play the same song on repeat instead of switching to the other 3-4 songs compared to Wii. The game frequently played the same single song even when starting another furniture project. Some flickering with the ground when building houses or furniture. When fishing, the bobber does not go under some bubbly areas. Happens about 1/5 times. When backing out of fishing, the player sim will automatically start fishing again, having to quit a second time. MySims Kingdom: Zones and menus that had multiple songs are missing the second or third song. The first song repeats when exiting and entering the area/menu or when the song loops. (Renee’s Visitor Center, Gino’s Pad, Dr. F Lab, Travel Log Menu, Outfit Selection on Boat) Sim voices in some cutscenes can be quieter compared to Wii version. Volume is normal during gameplay. Also, countdown in Rocket Reef cutscene is missing. Not sure what the terminology is or if this is what’s causing it but may have to do with the placement of the “microphone” during cutscenes. Verified it wasn’t my TV by sending video captures to another device. Videos attached to post. Buddy and Lyndsay can get stuck in some sections of Rocket Reef. This bug was in the Wii version too. Areas include the plateau near the mining wall and the rock steps near Tobor’s bridge. These are areas NPC sims normally can’t get to without jumping. Photos attached to post. Ambient sounds would stop for a brief second before looping. Few lag spikes when talking to sims but nothing game breaking, normally happens when the game is about to autosave. Not sure if everything here can be considered a bug like the music tracks stuff for both games, but I wanted to make sure. Still having a great time going through these games again, and I do like the new controls and reduced loading times.
Not all essences available to paint with when decorating my own house
I'm playing MySims (not Kingdom) on the Switch and am having trouble painting the interior of my home. I want to use the gingerbread essence which I have over 50 of in my backpack but it does not show up as an option to paint with when in paint mode. In fact, most of my Tasty essences aren't available to paint with. Just the first 2 or 3 show up when I go to paint my house even though I have at least one of every essence, including the garden essences. I either haven't noticed or encountered this problem when painting other Sims' homes. Just mine.
MySims - Suggestions, Feedback & Bugs
I have been enjoying the MySims Cozy bundle on PC over the last few days and I have a few suggestions, feedback, and bugs to report for MySims. -= Suggestions & Feedback =- When editing a building's room, the side to side scroll is rather slow, (and the scrolling does stop moving if your cursor goes to any of the corners). For me personally, this makes it difficult to customize a room, as I have to slowly readjust the camera until I can view what I need to. It would also be nice to be able to press keys to move the camera as well, (such as w, a, s, & d), when not moving/placing an item. The walls also go black when hovering over the outer most walls, (which I personally find to be quite distracting and harder to place items, as it can disrupt the flow). Also, some walls, (such as one in the flower shop), cannot have its wallpaper changed since its "outside" the building, (this just isn't visually appealing). It would be nice to have a "view in room" when building new items. I had built a custom cabinet that was a corner piece, (shown above), and it took several trips back and forth between my house and the workshop to get it built just right. A change to the copy/trash system for crafted items. Right now, any existing crafted item in your inventory can be copied, but if you planned on making no visual changes to the copied item, it feels like wasted time loading up the build screen for each copy. A system to "edit", "copy", and "copy and edit", (with a quantity slider), would be nice. As for trashing any copied items, it would be nice to do so in bulk. A grid system would be nice, (much like in The Sims 4), where you can easily tell where items are being placed into a room, (as well as have the ability to freely place items). I see that chairs aren't placed in the center of tables, and that does get slightly annoying, (especially for those who like things to be centered, like myself). When creating / editing a Sim, it would be nice if they didn't move a lot. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted my Sim to look like because they kept moving after every click, (I also had this issue in Kingdoms). Note: Some suggestions/feedback, (other than #5), can also apply to Kingdoms, but I haven't gotten too far into that game to form an opinion quite yet. -= Bugs =- On the save slot screen, my Sim's wearing different clothing than what's actually applied to the Sim. When placing decorations, the item shows where its going to be placed, but once you click to place, it snaps a bit off to the side. Some items placed in valid spots cannot be replaced once moved/removed. The only way to replace the item would be to move the other item(s) that's "blocking" it first, and then retrying. After completing the Chef's tasks, (the fridge, sink, and stove), and before the Museum Sim wants to move in, the Mayor had mentioned wanting to expand to the forest a bit too early. (This made no sense when I had 7 open spots still).
