Potential MySims Agents Revival?
I was just wondering if we can expect a remake of MySims Agents on the Switch, and if we would finally get the much anticipated sequel since the first one ended on a cliffhanger? Agents is my favorite of the MySims franchise, and one of my all time favorite games ever, and I know many agree. I think it would be a great idea to bring MSA back!
Here's a list of bugs and glitches that should be fixed.
Multiple songs now loop correctly in Workshop and Remodel modes in the original MySims game—but that’s not all! A single song also loops continuously when you're at a location, such as a building (in both games) or an area (in MySims Kingdom). However, if the player leaves when the music stops and then returns to the same location, a different song will play, which also loops continuously. Even in Create-A-Sim mode, a single track loops over and over. This constant looping of a single track can get repetitive and frustrating. Ideally, after one song finishes, a different one should play—without looping endlessly. I hope this can be addressed in a future patch to improve the audio experience. The voice and audio quality for the characters, as well as the sound effects in both games, have a strange filter that makes them sound like they’re using a vocoder. I hope this effect gets removed in a future update. In the original MySims game, if you clone a block after painting it with an essence texture, the cloned block reverts its paint texture back to wood. A video link showcasing this glitch is included in the attachments. In MySims Kingdom, when the player is at Reward Island, two of the stereo soundtracks can't be heard in that area. I hope they'll fix this soon so the music plays there as intended! There are various audio bugs and glitches in both games, especially with ambient sound effects. In the original MySims game, if the player leaves the Town Square and goes to a different location—like the Forest or the Desert—the ambiance from the Town Square continues to play instead of switching to the correct ambiance for the new location. Also, in MySims Kingdom, after the player completes an island's story, the game transitions from day to night. However, once the transition is complete, the player continues to hear the daytime ambiance instead of it switching to the correct nighttime ambiance. The same issue happens in reverse—when night transitions to day, the nighttime ambiance continues to play instead of switching to the appropriate daytime sound. On super rare occasions, if a Sim gets kicked out, they will remain in town, even though they have no house. Even if the player builds a new house over the original spot, that Sim is still present in the game permanently. If a Sim is invited back after being kicked out, the house layout and furniture can come back in its default state. This results in a major item exploit as this glitch is repeatable. In the original MySims game, if you kick a Sim out, the number of occupied places on the map, counting the Sim that has already been kicked out, will not decrease. When a Sim uses a turntable in both games, the music doesn't loop after a single "DJ Booth" soundtrack ends. The same issue occurs with the stereo in the original game during the "Dance Off!" activity, as well as when a Sim plays a portable video game or a game on an arcade machine. Also, after one playthrough of the music from a portable video game or an arcade machine, the music doesn't loop, and only the sound effects can be heard. Additionally, after a single loop of the electricity sound effect used for the "Dr. F's Tubular Insanity" and "Dr. F's Tubular Madness" items, the sound does not loop again. In the original MySims game, if a Sim performs the same animation with another Sim who has the same voice type, his/her voice will either fluctuate in pitch to match the other Sim’s. Sometimes if a Sim performs an animation with his/her voice, it would settle back to the voice type's normal pitch. In MySims Kingdom, Chef Gino’s fence texture has the wrong texture. The player can't be best friends with every NPC in MySims Kingdom despite completing all of their tasks. There were still quiet voices during the cutscenes in MySims Kingdom, as well as missing character icons. In MySims Kingdom, during the final cutscene on Rocket Reef, the Simlish countdown sound isn’t heard when the rocket launches. In MySims Kingdom, there’s a bug where characters get stuck in place after being teleported—they end up standing in the same spot and can’t move! In the original MySims game, three of the loading screen soundtracks aren’t played during loading. In the original MySims game, there's a creepy glitch where a Sim's head is missing! Also, two of the soundtracks used for the Fun Sims' homes don't play at all when the player's inside the Amazing Daryl's House. There's even a glitch in the original MySims game with the NPC's best friend dialogue, where the text eventually disappears and the game freezes. For example, Master Aran is the affected Sim with this glitch. (https://www.reddit.com/r/MySims/s/B0t9D3yfCQ) There are three texture errors in the original MySims game. (https://www.reddit.com/r/MySims/s/GLW3M0QUNo) 1. The wood for the lattice prop at Gino's Restaurant is using the lattice texture instead of the wood texture. 2. The green panels—one of the wall textures in the "Create-A-Sim" background—have molding halfway up instead of at the bottom. 3. In Remodel mode, the straw/grass roof swatches on the four-sided turret roof with mini tower have shadows that abruptly end halfway down the ridges. No other swatches for this roof type have shadows like this. When the player plays MySims: Cozy Bundle on the Nintendo Switch 2, the cursor moves slowly instead of at its current speed from the Nintendo Switch version of both games. That's all for now. What do you guys think? I hope all of these bugs and glitches get fixed in the next patch for MySims: Cozy Bundle.
Hilfreiche Tipps für MySims Cozy Bundle
Hurra sie sind wieder da, Die MySims und MySims Kingdom als "MySims Cozy Bundle" . Bereits im September 2007 erschien diese Serie für folgende Plattform Nintento Wii, und für PC. All die Jahren tauchten die MySims hier und da in all den Sims Spielen auf, doch irgendwie fehlten sie als Hauptspiel. Nun kommt das liebgewordene Retro Spiel zurück, der Relaunch des PC Spieles war am 18 März 2025 auf PC, zu Konsolen gibt es sie aber auch. Mit dem Relaunch des Spieles, kommen natürlich jede Menge Verbesserungen, wie die Grafik, neue Steuerungen, NPC Häuser verlieren keine Möbels mehr. In diesem Post möchte ich Euch einige Hilfestellungen zum Spiel geben. Denn wer denkt, DJ Candy, Blumenlady Poppy, Pizzabäcker Gino machen es Euch leicht, der irrt sich. Die quirligen Charakteren haben einiges zu bieten, es wird nicht langweilig.. Wir starten das Spiel mit den verschiedenen Einstellungen. Bildschirmgröße, Automatisches Speichern der Spielstände, dazu stehen drei Plätze zu Verfügung. Zuerst erstellt man sich seinen MySim Avatar. Dieser wird eine wichtige Rolle im Spiel spielen, denn Ihr müsst Rosi helfen, Ihr müsst die Stadt neu aufbauen. Sobald das MySims Avatar erstellt wurde, geht's zum ersten Bauplatzt. Baut euer Haus, anschließend die Werkstatt. Die ist ganz besonders wichtig, für die Zukünfte Veränderungen in der Stadt. Zuerst das Tutorial spielen Sobald man damit fertig ist, geht man zu Rosi ins Rathaus. Dort kommen die ersten Aufgaben. 10 Äpfel sammeln, zu Rosi bringen. Noch leicht diese Aufgabe. Dann baut man einen Stuhl in der Werkstatt, dieser wird abgestellt in deinem Haus, die erste Dekoration.. Tutorial ist damit abgeschlossen, ab nun ist es möglich das Spiel abzuspeichern. Vorher das Spiel nicht beenden, sonst beginnt man von vorne. Nachdem das geschafft ist, geht es zu Rosi erneut. Sie wünscht sich ein Podium. Dies wird in der Werkstatt gebaut, es gibt eine Bauvorlage dafür. Nicht zwingend muss man sich an die Bauanleitung halten, wichtig ist es, das der MySim es verwenden kann, dazu gibt es immer eine Hilfestellung im Spiel. Damit ein Auftrag als erledigt gezählt wird, muss das Möbelstück die Wunschfarbe haben, die aus den Essenzen gewonnen werden. Im Rathaus "übergebe" ich mit der Interaktion "Geben" Rosi ihr Podium. Auftrag erledigt, MySim bekommt ein Blume als Geschenk. Ab nun heißt es selbständig in der Stadt unterwegs zu sein, sie zu erkunden, dich mit den anderen MySims Charakteren anzufreunden. Bäume zu pflanzen, Essenzen zu sammeln, Häuser gestalten , Möbel zu bauen und zu entwickeln. . Wer möchte, kann auch seine kreative Ideen im Rucksack lassen. Irgendwann findet sich immer ein Abnehmer dafür. Eine sehr gute Übersicht bietet das Inventar. Die Bücher zu den Freundschafte, Aufgaben, Essenzen, kreatives bauen sind alle mit einem Klick erreichbar. In den kommenden Wochen werde ich gerne Euch noch viele Tipps teilen, da wo es schwierig werden könnte. Ich würde mich freuen , wenn ich noch paar MySims Mitspieler hier im Forum anfinden würde, um kreatives bauen und ingame Bilder auszutauschen.... Systemanforderungen Die neue MySims Steuerung
No Dutch available?
As far as I know the MySims Kingdom Wii version definitely had Dutch available as an interface language. Why isn't that available here? Considering you're re-releasing this game for nostalgia reasons it would also be nice for people who want to do so to play in the language they played this as a kid. The translation should already be fully there but for some reason wasn't ported, bit of a disappointment, would love to see it get added/updated soon.
MySims Kingdom Unplayable on Steam Deck
