    Every single one of my sims have the same fear that never goes away. They're ALL afraid of a dead end job - teens and adults. So they're always depressed everyday coming back from work no matter what they're doing. My teen sim got the fear after her first day of work as a simsfluencer. It was so stupid.

      that is SO frustrating wow. have you tried the better fears mod to see if it helps? also I believe MissyHissy is working on her hopes & fears mod which would completely overhaul the system (and likely be way better) so look forward to that!

      *My Sim:* "Oh noes my job is so sad and boring and dead-end, my life is so awful"
      *Me:* "You are a level 10 scientist Extraterrestrial Explorer, you dress like a supervillain and go to space on a regular basis. You invented a portal that takes you to an alien planet. You, as *part of your job,* attended a party with aliens last week and set up your *clone who you also made as part of your job* with a hot alien you met at aforementioned space party."
      *My Sim:* "Woe is me."
      (fr though that fear should be fully disabled at like lvl 7 and above, and should be less common starting at lvl 4 maybe)

    I think Sims developers should watch this video in order to see what the High School Expanison Pack lacks. These mods add so much more depth to gameplay and many interactions and stuff should have come with the EP orignially. It is so not well thought through in general, all this shown in your video might have made the pack increase in value. It's a shame that you get so little and reduced gameplay for 40 Euros. I mean, the fun increase in the ferris wheel isn't a big deal, why didn't they come up with such basic things in the first place? It's good to have these mods, but it's a pain to install them separately and risk the game glitching and bugging. If the expansion packs were generally more thought through it would make such a difference.

    • @simmerena
      @simmerena  2 роки тому +1

      I agree with everything you said and I wish they would! unfortunately I don’t think EA cares at this point because the foundation of the sims 4 base game is just bad, but they are making money off it so they will just continue to release more unsatisfactory content for it as long as people keep buying it. I wish they’d focus on fixing the game and stop releasing new content but I don’t think that will happen 😕

    Yes tweaks that actually makes it possible for Parenthood to work with High School Years. Like why would it be so hard for them to make it compatible. I wonder if there is a mod to remove the body hair cause it looks more like sharpie scribbles and it looks cheap and lazy. I mean they have hair texture why could they not use that?

    • @simmerena
      @simmerena  2 роки тому

      the hair textures are so bad :/ I’ve been using Luumia’s body hair still, someone separated it using the new body hair categories: javitrulovesims.tumblr.com/post/691171677265084416/body-hair-luumia-v5-redux#notes

    • @simmerena
      @simmerena  2 роки тому

      as for disabling townies from spawning with the body hair in the game, I’m not 100% sure if this works for townies, but it’s disables it for randomized sims at least. simplyanjuta.tumblr.com/post/671289397075902464/cas-mod-presets-selection-for-randomized-sims#notes

      I cannot recommend it, no.

      Not really. The trailer makes it look like it would be but the trailer is nothing but fill with lies and well if you have not update your game in a few weeks the High School Patch cause many problems and I heard that they still have not fixed everything from it. Yeah. Clearly EA does not care about the state the packs and patches are in as long as they make money. Sad really. I wanted a Pack like High School Years but they instead just release it in a broken or unfinished state like they did with Wedding Stories. Plus for whatever reason they did not bother to make the pack work with the other packs even though most Simmers would play with all packs on. I know I do.

    • @BiancaCampuzano

      Definitely wait til it’s on sale for a cheap price. Or until maybe they do some patch work. But so far the high school and pier itself isnt that great.

    • @simmerena

      the biggest issue I had with wants and fears is they didn’t add any from previous expansions/game/stuff packs, so to me this makes them unplayable without mods, as a majority of content I own wouldn’t trigger a want or fear. luckily since making this video missyhissy has come out with her wants and fears mod that is absolutely incredible and I definitely recommend it! I actually want to do a video on it at some point! ☺️

It’s a shame that modders have to create mods to make this addon playable. 😡 Every addon costs a lot of money and brings more errors in the game. So I don’t want to see EA advertising more new addons - they should fix the game asap ⛹️‍♂️ But regarding your mods review I found some great mods . Thumbs up 👍 and you have a new follower .
