  • AD - Gifted. I just feel like snooping is SO cool and so much fun, the idea that we can now break into sims homes?!?!?!!? SOOO MUCH FUN. THE FACT WE CAN EAVESDROP?? OH MY GOD. FANTASTIC. AMAZING. THE FACT I CAN LITERALLY PERUSE SIMS CHEST OF DRAWERS TO FIND OUT INFO??????? STUNNING. but at the end of the day like...what for? for something that isn't actually tailored to a sim and has no real benefit? does it change my social status? does it go towards a job? can i get more than 100 simoleons depending on the sim??? not really. cool concept but no real benefit/drawback to using it

      @@ember9361 I agree! ​
      I love playing the premade families and rotating around the neighborhood. A big problem with Sims 4 premades is they start with a lack of actual real story to them that match their descriptions. Is it too much to ask for Johnny Zest to at least know his family and have a poor relationship with them? Or Bob and Eliza to have a low relationship/romance? For Summer and Liberty to start with a crush on Travis?
      Sims 2 did this the best and it gave everyone in the neighborhood personality, an actual life, and potential for drama. Even scripted events for those who start the neighborhood to really get things going. It shouldn't have been difficult for the Sims team to give meaningful secrets and relationships to premade sims for those who like playing with them or for players to discover who don't play them. Like, what does "Bob doesn't like his dirty sink" really do and mean? Nothing...

      If you reread his secret closely he said he lost a COWBOY HAT, not a cowboy.

      The most obvious reference in his secret is to the Sims Medieval. What's interesting is that in that game he wears red, has wings, has long hair, and seemingly still has flesh. The Sims 4 is the only mainline Sims game where the Grim Reaper still has flesh, so linking it to the Sims Medieval was a pretty nice detail. Plus, the Sims 4 Grim's robe shares the more general design elements to that game's Grim compare to plain black robe and skeleton hands the other games' Grims had going for them.

      Yea, definitely. And I think Jesse is on our team as well; the resignation in her voice when she said that spoke volumes. "I am contactionally obligated to say this but we all know it's BS". Was how it read to me anyway but that's just my opinion and not facts 😅

    I feel like an extremely easy way to do secrets better for the rando sims without putting much more effort is to just limit secrets to 3-5 per sim, and the same secret cannot be applied to any sim twice until the whole list is exhausted, then it resets. ie: there's 20 secrets (random number), and the first sim is applied Sinking Feeling, so that would make that specific secret out of the rotation for all other sims until the other 23 secrets have been used.

    So I’m a modder and I’m taking a peak at the coding for how secrets get assigned and THEY FULLY HAD THE CAPABILITY to make it so that things like traits or a sims home neighborhood the secrets sims get but instead all they did was make it so that animals and babies (and the grim reaper except for his one special secret) don’t get any secrets attached to them.

    I wonder if the flower bunny and santa and sims like that have secrets like grim's.
    Also it would be kind of fun to *make* the secrets be lore. Like have a snooping sim and when they find out something, go give that sim the appropriate game play. If it's a grilled cheese secret, have them do that, or if they love grim, let them marry him. Or if they hate willow creek, they're not allowed to go there or interact with any of the sims that live in willow creek. Could be a fun kind of challenge.

    I agree, a lot of secrets should be dependent upon where that Sim is actually living. Not just the world, but the actual neighbourhood. After all, Sims living in one of the starter home of Oasis Spring and one living next to the Landgraabs should have radically experiences. Then, for Sims that moved from a world to another one, the secrets from their original residence should stay, and those from the new place should trickle in over time.

    The thing is, they’ve already done stuff like the secrets.

  • @Loutron3030
    @Loutron3030 9 місяців тому +1

    As an avid Crusader Kings fan, I'd wager that this new mechanic is more than a little influenced by that series of games; particularly CKIII. Sort of a trading influence thing given that the CK games lift more than a few mechanics from the Sims.
    However the Sims could have definitely benefited from copying more than just the basic format, secrets in CK are procedurally generated- however they're based on a character's personality, memories and relationship to other characters. Also there are a few instanced secrets for characters in each start date, in CK's case they're limited by actual history since that's the "lore" for any historical grand strategy game; however in the Sims they had the opportunity to get really creative with the instanced secrets and evidently squandered it.
    The tone a lot of the secrets have definitely makes sense for a series like the Sims, I wouldn't expect it to get as dark and dramatic as CK secrets- those games really don't pull any punches in that regard. I like the idea on paper, it's just weird that they seemingly copied the idea but not the finer mechanical points of it's implementation. Hopefully this gets some work in future, but damn if that doesn't feel like a tired refrain at this point- we're still waiting on some previously implemented half-baked mechanics to be fully fleshed out so I won't hold my breath.
