I hope the Sims community starts making those “left the Sims running for X hours/overnight/X days” videos again because seeing how drastically the world changes with this update would be really fun.
Now we just need to fix the family tree / genealogy situation so that family members are not just strangers. We need half-brothers, uncles and aunts, mother-in-law, everything else, please make this happen, speak aloud about this! It is so necessary. edit: yes we do have a family tree i am aware of that but it doesnt recognize extended family like ts3 did. thats what i meant. i wrote this when i was very tired and i dont think i made that clear. playing legacy challenges or multiple generations aint rly worth it bc sims dont recogonize family outside the household. i just know it could be better.
Actually i recognize the new one in family tree after this major update is that daughter/son in law can be appeared in our family tree if we still married with their parent.
@@denofthieves6587 I just hope the family tree above the ancestor didn't disappear. Sure we can see all the descendants from the 1st generation's genealogy prespective, but if we look at the lastest generations, we can't see up to 5 generationt above it.
I would love to see sims get into relationships, married, divorced or smt like that. Sims enroll into uni and actually graduated and go into their jobs degree. I’d also like to see them add some drama like affairs 👀
I agree - would love to see some cross-pack features with Discover University added. Have sims join University, graduate, and get jobs related to their degrees would be awesome.
I wish it was also implemented into social options as well, there is a "Gossip" option and you could find out that somebody is pregnant or died through that.
Im so excited rn kfjksdf If they add being invited/attending OTHER people's weddings in the sims as a part of these life change updates then i will absolutely SOB
Dude that’s what I thought the marriage pack was! I was so confused because you could ask to be an engaged sim’s ring bearer or whatever but they can’t even have a wedding to invite you to?
@@williek08472 i used to get invites to bday parties but they were always from homeless sims so it would take me to an empty lot. idk what happened to them now though :/
I was checking on this yesterday and when I checked, the husband of a small family had died. A Sim week later, I looked at the family and they'd adopted four cats. It felt very accurate.
I‘m just SO GLAD they made it as customisable as they did. I find myself not being into the autonomous features in the sims, they really did find a way to get us the best of both worlds.
Exactly. I've re-dressed a ton of unplayed sims, all over, and actually see normal looking sims walk around in nice CC clothes. I also have a biker gang, pop-tart influencers etc. walking around the sim world, and I don't want them changing. I have only enabled the part where NPCs can get jobs. It's lovely how we get to choose!
@@yasgirlypop7 you have to have a rental plot so you go to manage worlds and click on the plot you want and go to the top left corner (I think) where the house icon with the symbol is and that should have the option to make rental and then you build or download from gallery the destination you want and then you go back to your household and use a phone or computer to click on "go on vacation" and then you're done
i don’t know about anyone else, but i like it when other sims have kids because the kids already in the worlds grow up too fast… so i’m happy that we will get more kids to the worlds!
@@monelmonelmonel I think you make all the sims pregnant only by your male sims right?🤣 That's why they can't marry each other. I have save file in 6th generation when all of households are being related in family tree but still can married each other. If sims have same great-grandparents, actually they can marry, but their grandparents must be different. That's why my sims still can marry each other.
Omg imagine getting a wedding invite for townies and get to BE A GUEST AT THEIR WEDDING?! I love this concept.... Hopefully it gets added in the future!!
My first time checking recent neighbourhood stories: “The Bjergsens adopted a dog” “Judith Ward adopted a toddler” My second time checking recent neighbourhood stories: “BELLA GOTH DIED IN A HOUSEFIRE” “THE CALIENTE’S ARE PREGNANT” “THE BFF HOUSEHOLD ADOPTED 3 CATS” “THE LANDGRAABS MOVED TO GLIMMERBROOK”
ffs I've been playing with MC Command Center for a few months now, and Judith always has a bunch of kids in every save. I guess it's just a Judith thing
"Looks like death is rare." My game: Half of the Charm family, Bella Goth, Naoki Ito, and some other characters I don't remember were all wiped out within the space of a week. I'd be okay with this except when I went to their houses, they didn't spawn gravestones or urns. There *really* needs to be a way to retrieve tombstones for randomly dead sims. My other two minor complaints: When a family moves out, they don't get money based on their former house, and they don't have to pay money for their new house. I had the Spencer-Kim-Lewis family move out, and I decided I'd better go in and move them back into a place myself so they didn't, say, move into a one-bedroom tiny home or something. Despite formerly living in a mansion, they only had starter funds. There were no 4+ bedroom homes I could move them into for $24K. I can use cheats, but would prefer not to. And this one is a complaint about the previous iteration, with the phone calls, but I had one of my played households call my currently active household and ask if he should start dating Nina Caliente. I said, yeah, go for it. He called back to say they were in love. Cool. I switched over to playing him to maybe get him married to Nina and ... he doesn't know her. The game obviously keeps track of that sort of thing, but it doesn't seem to actually make changes to the sims' relationship scores.
It does make changes to the sim's relationship scores if one of the sims is in your active household. I've had pretty high friendship boosts from that. I have also had sims get engaged from the "found a ring in sim's bag" type questions. The active sim is now engaged, no proposal needed!
@@charitycodes i had two teens dating, one aged up to YA, and got a phone call that the one who was still a teen proposed to the young adult!! XD apparently he said yes, but she was too young to get married of course...kinda creepy, but i also kinda liked it cuz i was gonna marry them anyway when she was old enough. (also not the weirdest thing about them, i think her grandma is his step-mom, lol) but theyre now my fave family!
@@charitycodes i had a teen whose boyfriend had just become a young adult. he called the teens mother about the ring and they became engaged. young adult and teen...
I hope they add onto the customizability to add intensity sliders of some sorts because things like moving out or quitting a career I'd prefer to not happen super often but to still happen so it'd be cool if you could adjust how often that'd happen.
Yeah, then you could have a world where death happens super often, but births happened only very rarely. Would be silly, but could also make for an interesting and intense plot line.
I really want this! They could also just have a option in the settings where you can put it on one of the five modes. Very Fast, Fast,Intermediate,Slow,Very Slow. Or somewhere along the lines. I would like to do it individually to but I don’t wanna go through all of them especially in the future when they add more stories. Lucky the sim gurus did say it will carry onto all your other save.
i personally dont think i want 3/4 new things happening a day i was thinking more that much in a week so if there was a slider that changed how many times a day or week the story progression pop ups happen then id be much happier using the update
this reminds me of the time my sim was at an art gallery and her boyfriend called saying “i found a ring in my girlfriends bag, i think she’d gonna propose! should i say yes?” and i, confused, answered yes. then when i got home they were engaged
I hope this also plays well with Dream Home Decorator. Call me in to design a nursery!!!! A kids room for a new adoption! A better kitchen cause Eliza is a chef now
Man. It feels weird because I'm used to the whole "We're not gonna wait just so you can play it too! Like who the f**k are you?" While knowing she build like 3 Lots in this game which everyone can see.
@Sandra Swan How so ? EA has issues that doesn't mean they deserve the hate that they receive. Especially when haters are still choosing to play their game anyway.
I know it would be incredibly difficult to implement, but I’d love to see a bed pop up on the lot if a child was adopted, similar to how a bassinet appears when a sim has a baby. Or a pet food bowl would appear if a dog or cat was adopted.
Story progression I would love to see: 1. Townies having their own parties - I wanted to be invited too and choose my own "party guest" quest like party crasher, belle of the ball, social butterfly, wallflower, party pooper, etc. 2. Sims skill increase 3. Sims getting promotions & demotions - especially prioritising ambitious Sims. (If skill increase is off, this automatically get turned off), lazy sims are more likely to get demoted ✨ 4. Relationships: - dating, break-up, cheating, engaged, married, divorced, and bonus relationships like flirtationships, workwife, etc. Also if Sims with negative social traits are more likely to break-up like jealous or hot-headed. Sims who are non-commital are more likely to cheat, etc. 5. Memories - Sims getting consequences and moodlets all on their own with other sims 😌 6. Reputation changes:- In the Get Famous expansion pack I want my mean and evil sims to be able to get negative reputations. I also want a new reputation slide for romance as in reputation from "homewrecker to perfect partner" and how it affects your likelihood in successful dating and you can only override it with high charisma/flirting abilities. 👌🏽 In the likes and dislikes box, I want new options; 5. Health & Diet: You should be able to move vegetarian (it really shouldn't waste our personality slots), lactose-intolerant in likes and dislikes. Add types of cuisine as a like/dislike for Dine-Out expansion pack would make so much sense. And foodie should be able to start food blogs. 6. Sexual Orientation; I definitely think with people being able to get into relationship we should be selective like if someone prefers fem individuals they get depressed and sad if they're in a relationship with a masc and on auto-mode are more likely to break-up. I also think sexual orientations should unlock in your teens and you can have the birds & the bees talk with your parents which prompts you to decide your orientation and you can do a range of options, which could be represented as spectrums. You could even make asexual systems, etc. If you don't have the "talk" then it should be randomly selected in adulthood like a surprise.
I find it so annoying that vegetarian and lactose intolerant are personality traits 😑 i’m a vegetarian I would like to play with vegetarians sometimes, but making it eat up one of three slots so inconvenient.
@@mandisharp yes and no hate to modders but especially if i want a sim who is vegetarian, autistic and part of the lgbtq+ then that’s all of there traits it’s taken up of personal preferences not what they’re actually like 🙄
Moving out would be cool when family adopts a child so they’d need a bigger house or an extra room. Cuz what happens with bedrooms when you have a new kid?
This update came out only yesterday and so much appended in my legacy save, like one of the sisters of my sims had twins and the other sister adopted a baby while she already had a teenager, plus my sims cousin adopted a kid AND a cat, all of that in two sims days ! Edit: I didn't think this would get that much likes 😅😅
@@oceanelortie980 They are working on relationship side of this update too! Im so glad sims is doing this We will see random neighbours get married and cheat on each other it will be so fun
@@roonsters6298 I can't wait for this to happen, after 5 generations I'm tired of placing new sims in the worlds, I have at least 3 worlds that have no townies because I'm to lazy to put some in
That is so exciting. I can't wait to play with my legacy family. The only downside for me is that I'm about to start gen 3 so most of the starting families are dead or old.
This update is FANTASTIC. I’ve been playing with it for hours. Just wish sims could get married randomly, then it would be perfect. Hope it comes in a future update
Extra things I'd love to see! Dating and marriage will come with an attraction system based on traits, aspirations and likes and dislikes. Cross pack compatability with people joining university, and joining clubs also based on traits for example!
Wish the neighbourhood changes were announced like a news articles or a gossip column for the more "juicer" life changes. Like how we had newspapers in TS2 and TS3, Sims could read the news to find out all the changes that is taking place in their world. Or even a news channel they could access from their TV/Phone/Computer. That would be fun. I'd also like them to add some sort of fued update later on, lmao. So, "X's new family is currently fueding with Y's family because of their recent divorce. The step kids don't like their new parents. Etc." Maybe I've just got too much Bridgerton and Gossip Girl on the brain. XD
literally yesterday while doing a legacy challenge i was thinking about how sad it is that other households don't really "live". I was afraid the sims that have to move out the house will just all die and not do anything on their own. immediately had a landgraab get electrocuted. great update!
I would personally love to see maybe for step 3 or later on down the road something where 1. Younger Sims when they age up to adults they move out. 2. Your sims could be invited to a wedding or play a role in a wedding depending on if your sim has a good relationship with them. 3. Your Sims can get invited to birthday party’s and so on and such through neighborhood stories.
Completely agree! I know there are still problems that a lot of people are having but its been nice to feel like EA has SORT OF been trying the last couple years! 😁
@@hanpear I restarted during my 5th gen right before the update so I had the best timing haha. When my world got like that though I’d just drop random families from the gallery to fill the void.
I started playing Sims again a few days ago as I finally had time. I go back on it later and notice how almost every non played family had either adopted an animal or child (unless they had one). Of course, Bella Goth was missing. Plus, one of my sims started a fire and like 3 random neighbor sims ran in to help put it out. Then, neighbors later visited with a meal to offer. Kind of cool. I just didn't realize that they were personal options you could do now.
I was playing yesterday and my current sims aunt died electrocuted and her husband just adopted a child (even already being a old man almost dying) while my sims grandmother adopted a dog. I confess, I'm loving this new update and all these aleatory surprises. Maybe now vampire sims can die accidentally because of the sun? Who knows.
@@thepokemonqueen I agree, it would be cool if a sim randomly decided to be turned into a vampire or even a mermaid, it would be interesting to see. Could they even decide to have children with an alien? (with the gamepack Back to Work) would be really interesting.
I didn’t even have wild custom settings (mostly just turned off moving for the basic townies) and all of the households filled up with kids and pets in 2 weeks. I’m talking single sims with 7 pets in every world. Definitely too many too quickly for me. So many events were happening that I thought clicking the mailbox triggered events at first 😅 It seems that the custom settings are like a guaranteed event that will keep repeating until the household fills or I micromanage them anyway. I can’t wait to see what the next phase of this story progression update will be!
This is SO exciting. I would love if they added other sims going to college and graduating at some point. I'd love to do a 100 baby challenge and the moved out kids actually lead their own lives. I think they should also do an update on families to recognize in laws, cousins, step family, etc.
I'm really glad they did this. I hope in the future this can be extended to autonomous casual romance (ACR). That was a fantastic Sims 2 mod that made the game feel alive.
@@suzannareinhardt8657 Free Love bothers me because it removes the idea of consent. Which is probably an odd thing to focus on, but...there you are. Plus, TS2 days I had a cult called Free Love and it really was about committed relationships with multiple partners, not randomly snogging passerby.
what's so cool about the adopt a pet thing is it makes everything feel more connected? like this is a thing from one expac that can now *automonously* spread to worlds from other packs
This is the type of thing I’ve been thinking about with adding burglars back, I’d love to have the challenge back w the option for it to not happen if you want.
i think this module system is awesome. i feel like modders will definitely be able to add some other modules for us to activate and get more stuff, like sims going to uni, getting into relationships, cheating on each other and stuff... a dream!!!
A fun thing about this is now all the extended family from your legacy plays can get on with stuff now. I'd like to know the logic behind the pregnancies and adoptions - e.g., do they need beds available?
I love everything about this! The most exciting thing to me is that they’re able to adopt pets now. I always hated that when I started a save I’d be the only person in the entire world with a pet (minus Brindleton Bay)
Honestly what gets me really excited is thinking about what the modding community could do with this, I can just see my world getting more and more chaotic
I love this update, I got a message to say that the Goths had decided to adopt a toddler, I only ever use townies/premades as DNA donors, but I had two toddlers and decided to pop over for a play date
Yes it would be so cool to see Bob and Eliza Pankcakes to randomly get a divorce. Or see random weddings or get invited to them. I hope they add that feature.
I played with this a bit yesterday and left all of it on and my Sims went wild with adopting! One one hand it’s nice because my neighborhood was starting to look a little elderly but at the same time it was very overwhelming at first.
One big thing for me would be to have a summary of each sims history accessible in a separate panel. Right now we can see what are the likes, dislikes and jobs of sims we know (if we have asked about that), but a more complete panel of information, including known past employments etc... would be nice. Playing this game I am often confused about who does/likes what already, and with sims changing things like jobs (which is a great addition of course) I will be even more confused about the sims I meet.
J Huntington III and his husband filled up their household w babies. They have 5 kids and a little dog now I was surprised they had so many but i don’t mind finally the town will go on without us doing all the work 🤣
I had stopped playing the Sims 4 for a year because I got frustrated with having to repopulate the town with gallery families in order to do my legacy files. One day I got so bored I just opened the game and realized they had story progression and the toddler update and I freaked out in excitement. Now I'm always interested in starting new files to see how the towns are different. For some reason though the Pancake family always has a full house of bio kids for every file I've done.
I ripped off that band-aid too, to see how I felt about this. The only mod I miss now is my doorbell. That has to come back. But it feels nice to have such a "clean" game now. I'll eventually bring back MCCC for the autonomy control - there's just too many things I want to disable or enable, but the population activity is fine, especially once they add marriages.
I played with story progression for the first time yesterday and the CHAOS was so fun. Judith Ward had twins with Malcolm Landgraab. Who then also had a child around the same age with one of the vampires. It was amazing.
I’m so excited about this! I’m working through a legacy challenge and I want the iconic townies to stay around so now hopefully that’ll be easier than having to go into their households lmao
Hopefully they'll add marriages very soon, because without families having children getting married, there'll only be adoptions to single parents long term. No full families.
I started a new save yesterday for this specifically. In that save, Johnny Zest is already dead as a young adult. I have no idea how he died either. But it’s so cool that we have story progression now.
I’m literally so happy about this, and I’ve just begun a new legacy challenge and it’s been only like half a generation so I can still get this in. I’m excited to see what modders do with this.
Love how she said no baby booms lmao. My game I had the Goths, the Langraabs, the Pancakes, The SKL household, the Caliente's, the Bff's all adopting and having babies in the span of two Sims weeks. So my game has a ton of babies that would never have existed without the help of this update lol
If they have a slider or something so you can select how often something might happen. Or maybe make it depend on how fast you have your world set to, like if life stages are short you are going to want things to happen faster, but if you have longer life spans than 0-2 a day is more balanced.
@@ThatOneLadyOverHere yeah true but still if I’m playing short life span and all of my sims are dying fast anyway i don’t think I like it if they would die even faster or like idk have a child or something when they are elders
I'm definitely going in for every one of the games premade townies that I made over and adjusting what they can do. I don't need Nancy Landgraab to abandon her newly adopted child and have the pancakes move to sulani..
I felt the same about the moving out! I often like to make homes for specific sims, so them moving out wouldn’t work well with that, but I love the other options!!
Clement Frost moved into a lot in my game. He is also friends with my sim so he called asking if he should ask someone on a date and I said yes and so now he has a girlfriend as well.
he became my next-door neighbor when he moved into that haunted apartment in san myshuno. literally the least fitting place he could have moved into lmao
It's kinda crazy how the neighborhood stories go. In this save I'm currently playing, I created a lot of sims in different household and they can't stop having babies. While my sims were at uni for literally just three weeks, I got calls from this one lady at least four times asking if they should try for baby. I'm the type of simmer who always vote yes, so now they expanded from a 4-sim household to 8. There's also this sim living with her noncommittal boyfriend, whom I'd planned to have one of my sims marry, ended up pregnant and now I've no idea whether to move the baby in or not. I'm pretty sure I disabled the "having a baby" option for this particular household and really confused how that happened LOL
I feel like this update can get overwhelming, they keep getting pregnant and adopting everyday, plus getting pets. Will a dog bed and dog bowl appear in their house when they get a dog? Or will they get another bedroom when they adopt kids or get pregnant?
I think the bedroom thing is kinda impossible, but if they somehow coded it to only add another human if there was another bed available if you put it in the house description, that would be cool. The dog bed/bowl couldn't be too hard though, they already put bassinets for babies around.
@@leyadil yes bc there were times where I impregnated a townie I didn’t live with and when I visit the house later I see that the toddler/ child doesn’t have a bed or anything so I was hoping that would change w this update. I want the townies to take care of the things they have lol
I love how you went and checked because I did the same thing to make sure this wasn’t half assed. And then I got excited because THEY GAVE US SOMETHING THAT WORKS
9:19 So her original name is Francine Spencer, in my country for some reason they changed it to Francine Salazar, I normally hate when they do this, but on this particular sim I liked it
I'm just getting back into the Sims 4 and I'm so excited about this! Finally it'll seem like the Sims around me are progressing in life as my Sims are moving and living their stories :D
As someone who loves to have big families w/generations I loveee this so I can play my sims while the others in the fam still develop. More realistic as an entire world!!! Super excited to play this!! Also they’re totally trolling Kayla with that twitter response lolll
Oh my god this is amazing! I've been wanting this since i was a kid and started playing sims! This is the best thing that has happened in sims since alt-placing windows and doors. I am so excited!
I can't say that I've seen that the townies have filled the whole household with children only, but there is definitively a few households that are filling up quite a bit with cats and/or dogs. Though, some households are getting quite a lot of new children... I think it's quite great though! Love the update. I had Dina Calliente die of overheating, but that's the one death I've seen so far. Though, in my game, the Landgraabs have adopted or birthed three kids and a dog, which I believe is because of Geoffrey being Family Oriented. Almost every household in the world has gotten at least a child or pet.
*Kayla:* "This is the first time a Sim has autonomously gotten pregnant in my game. This is the best day of my life!" "Overall, Sims Team, you have made my life." *Dan:* Um...say what now???
This is really interesting as I've got MCCC and my biggest issue is that Sims have too many kids and all my townies have half siblings cause so many of them partner swap. But I may turn that off now in MCCC and just have this.
The one thing about sims now just autonomously having kids and adopting pets is that I wonder about if their houses will actually have the right stuff. Like are they just gonna have their toddler sleeping on the couch and have no food bowls for their dog? Or if they add items are we gonna end with a bed blocking the kitchen? And if the sims like move, the house isn’t gonna be designed for their household so you might end up with grandma sleeping in a kids bedroom.
Yes! Like if family gets bigger then what happen? I think it will not add items like beds but people fall asleep on floor XD so they do any action to meet needs
YES! I love this so much. This makes me excited to see future adjustments and what they add to this. Love that they did it in a way where you can customize it so specifically down to household by household and which ones are active. This is so huge for story telling and progression. Gahh so hyped for all the unique saves and potential.
On the one hand this is amazing. On the other hand I play with aging turned off. So I feel like having all of these on will eventually lead to all the townies being dead and all of my worlds full of orphaned babies.
since i ea skittle n first started watching sims videos, i’ve always wanted this! i’m so so so happy and now i feel motivated to start playing the game again
I’ve been waiting for the sims to do this! I’ve literally always wanted this, this is what make the gameplay fun!! Thank you simsie and sims community!!
I LOVE this update. The Landgraabs in my new legacy challenge had another son and he's actually goodlooking, has the 'good' trait so now the second generation heir is dating him
I love this!! Next I hope they make it so other households can autonomously change their furniture (e.g. if they have a new baby then as the kid grows up the appropriate furniture is part of the house like a potty and toddler bed)
@@SamBrilhanteOfficial exactly! Like you make a house for a toddler then revisit it when the toddler is an adult and their bedroom is exactly the same haha
I don't think they would change it super drastically, but if there could be toddler beds/potties spawning just like bassinets I would love that. Imagine seeing toddler potties on their lawns...
I'm so glad I have Kayla to thoroughly explain the updates to me because TBH I saw it yesterday butwas to lazy to read everything and didn't know half as much about it as I do now lmao.
This will make playing legacy challenges that much more interesting too. Instead of always have to redo the townies since they all eventually just died off. The excitement is real😭🥰
I had a death in my SimsieSave10 file. Was doing The Unlucky Chef scenario (since you can now use existing family's in existing saves. Eddie Webster got a message that Kenichi Kato got so angry that he burst into flames and died. 😲
I agree, i'm def adjusting all the pre-made townies and what they can do. I don't want the Landgraabs adopting a kid just to abandon them like Johnny, or have eliza force bob to move to sulani 😂
I hope the Sims community starts making those “left the Sims running for X hours/overnight/X days” videos again because seeing how drastically the world changes with this update would be really fun.
omg the teaaaa
How can you let it run without pop ups stopping the game?
@@laraking804 I’m wondering the same thing. I get a pop up least every 10 minutes and it’s so annoying
OMG YES THAT WOULD BE A LOT MORE INTERESTING THANKS TO THIS UPDATE
Well.. except the pop-up issue
@@laraking804 I think you can turn it off. If not in game, then mods.
Now we just need to fix the family tree / genealogy situation so that family members are not just strangers. We need half-brothers, uncles and aunts, mother-in-law, everything else, please make this happen, speak aloud about this! It is so necessary.

There is a family tree in sims 4, although it could be better. I agree with more family relationship though.
Actually i recognize the new one in family tree after this major update is that daughter/son in law can be appeared in our family tree if we still married with their parent.
Omfg yes!! I’m so tired of my sims having no idea who their cousins are
I absolutely agree, this always bugged me as well. The family tree definitely needs a lot of work.
@@denofthieves6587 I just hope the family tree above the ancestor didn't disappear. Sure we can see all the descendants from the 1st generation's genealogy prespective, but if we look at the lastest generations, we can't see up to 5 generationt above it.
I would love to see sims get into relationships, married, divorced or smt like that. Sims enroll into uni and actually graduated and go into their jobs degree. I’d also like to see them add some drama like affairs 👀
Agreed homie especially with the uni and job thing
yess me too
100% agree that they should graduate into a job!
Enroll into uni is the one!
I agree - would love to see some cross-pack features with Discover University added. Have sims join University, graduate, and get jobs related to their degrees would be awesome.
I wish it was also implemented into social options as well, there is a "Gossip" option and you could find out that somebody is pregnant or died through that.
That’d be so cool!
oh, when people die from my neighborhoods, my sim gets a call if they were friends/related, or even co-workers.
There's now a mod for that!
Like the sims 3? I miss that so much! It was so cool!

Dude that’s what I thought the marriage pack was! I was so confused because you could ask to be an engaged sim’s ring bearer or whatever but they can’t even have a wedding to invite you to?
I had a Sim get invited to a friend's daughter's birthday party once. The framework is definitely there
@@williek08472 ugh but when that happens and you go you have to make it a birthday party so it’s like you’re hosting it anyways

@@williek08472 i used to get invites to bday parties but they were always from homeless sims so it would take me to an empty lot. idk what happened to them now though :/
I was checking on this yesterday and when I checked, the husband of a small family had died. A Sim week later, I looked at the family and they'd adopted four cats. It felt very accurate.
"Gotta fill the void."
Lol 😂❤
I‘m just SO GLAD they made it as customisable as they did. I find myself not being into the autonomous features in the sims, they really did find a way to get us the best of both worlds.
I agree! It’s really cool! As I don’t want my favourite sims to die in a fire or something or to adopt some random cat!
Just imagine Eliza Pancakes getting pregnant by Geoffrey Landgraab or Bella Goth divorcing Mortimer Goth for the Grim Reaper.

@@malami4891 this persons comment has one of coolest names I’ve seen.
Exactly. I've re-dressed a ton of unplayed sims, all over, and actually see normal looking sims walk around in nice CC clothes. I also have a biker gang, pop-tart influencers etc. walking around the sim world, and I don't want them changing. I have only enabled the part where NPCs can get jobs. It's lovely how we get to choose!
they should add “enroll in university” and “go on vacation” options
yes yes yes
You can go on vacation but you just need to have a rental property
how do u do that???
@@yasgirlypop7 do wat?
@@yasgirlypop7 you have to have a rental plot so you go to manage worlds and click on the plot you want and go to the top left corner (I think) where the house icon with the symbol is and that should have the option to make rental and then you build or download from gallery the destination you want and then you go back to your household and use a phone or computer to click on "go on vacation" and then you're done
i don’t know about anyone else, but i like it when other sims have kids because the kids already in the worlds grow up too fast… so i’m happy that we will get more kids to the worlds!
I remember back then when the Sims in my save file can't marry each other anymore because they were all related 🤣
Since I play on long Lifespan, kids don't grow up too fast 🙈
@@monelmonelmonel I think you make all the sims pregnant only by your male sims right?🤣 That's why they can't marry each other.
I have save file in 6th generation when all of households are being related in family tree but still can married each other. If sims have same great-grandparents, actually they can marry, but their grandparents must be different. That's why my sims still can marry each other.
Right? Maybe now my sims kids will actually have friends
in my game they can't grow older, I decide who can grow older and when by inviting them home and have a party for them xD
Omg imagine getting a wedding invite for townies and get to BE A GUEST AT THEIR WEDDING?! I love this concept.... Hopefully it gets added in the future!!
damn thats so cool
Ive had that happen before :)
yesss and you could be asked to be a sim of honor, flower pal, etc.
My first time checking recent neighbourhood stories:
“The Bjergsens adopted a dog”
“Judith Ward adopted a toddler”

“BELLA GOTH DIED IN A HOUSEFIRE”
“THE CALIENTE’S ARE PREGNANT”
“THE BFF HOUSEHOLD ADOPTED 3 CATS”
“THE LANDGRAABS MOVED TO GLIMMERBROOK”
Yes 😈 I cannot wait AAH

"Looks like death is rare."
My game: Half of the Charm family, Bella Goth, Naoki Ito, and some other characters I don't remember were all wiped out within the space of a week. I'd be okay with this except when I went to their houses, they didn't spawn gravestones or urns. There *really* needs to be a way to retrieve tombstones for randomly dead sims.
My other two minor complaints:
When a family moves out, they don't get money based on their former house, and they don't have to pay money for their new house. I had the Spencer-Kim-Lewis family move out, and I decided I'd better go in and move them back into a place myself so they didn't, say, move into a one-bedroom tiny home or something. Despite formerly living in a mansion, they only had starter funds. There were no 4+ bedroom homes I could move them into for $24K. I can use cheats, but would prefer not to.
And this one is a complaint about the previous iteration, with the phone calls, but I had one of my played households call my currently active household and ask if he should start dating Nina Caliente. I said, yeah, go for it. He called back to say they were in love. Cool. I switched over to playing him to maybe get him married to Nina and ... he doesn't know her. The game obviously keeps track of that sort of thing, but it doesn't seem to actually make changes to the sims' relationship scores.
It does make changes to the sim's relationship scores if one of the sims is in your active household. I've had pretty high friendship boosts from that. I have also had sims get engaged from the "found a ring in sim's bag" type questions. The active sim is now engaged, no proposal needed!
@@charitycodes i had two teens dating, one aged up to YA, and got a phone call that the one who was still a teen proposed to the young adult!! XD apparently he said yes, but she was too young to get married of course...kinda creepy, but i also kinda liked it cuz i was gonna marry them anyway when she was old enough. (also not the weirdest thing about them, i think her grandma is his step-mom, lol) but theyre now my fave family!
Responding to your last paragraph, in “our world” we call that a “stalker” 😅😂
Johny zest moved out and only had 3,500 in my game.
@@charitycodes i had a teen whose boyfriend had just become a young adult. he called the teens mother about the ring and they became engaged. young adult and teen...
I hope they add onto the customizability to add intensity sliders of some sorts because things like moving out or quitting a career I'd prefer to not happen super often but to still happen so it'd be cool if you could adjust how often that'd happen.
Yeah, then you could have a world where death happens super often, but births happened only very rarely. Would be silly, but could also make for an interesting and intense plot line.
I really want this! They could also just have a option in the settings where you can put it on one of the five modes. Very Fast, Fast,Intermediate,Slow,Very Slow. Or somewhere along the lines. I would like to do it individually to but I don’t wanna go through all of them especially in the future when they add more stories. Lucky the sim gurus did say it will carry onto all your other save.
@@darkchocolate9349 they should have a toggle for whether it transfers or not, that way you can have a chaos save without messing up your other saves.
i personally dont think i want 3/4 new things happening a day i was thinking more that much in a week so if there was a slider that changed how many times a day or week the story progression pop ups happen then id be much happier using the update
yesssss please
this reminds me of the time my sim was at an art gallery and her boyfriend called saying “i found a ring in my girlfriends bag, i think she’d gonna propose! should i say yes?” and i, confused, answered yes. then when i got home they were engaged

Man. It feels weird because I'm used to the whole "We're not gonna wait just so you can play it too! Like who the f**k are you?" While knowing she build like 3 Lots in this game which everyone can see.

The Landgrabs are just getting ready to play the Too Many Toddlers Scenario.
They already beat the super rich supervillain scenario.
I know it would be incredibly difficult to implement, but I’d love to see a bed pop up on the lot if a child was adopted, similar to how a bassinet appears when a sim has a baby. Or a pet food bowl would appear if a dog or cat was adopted.
That's what I've been suggesting!! Toddler potties on the lawn sure would be an interesting sight..
Story progression I would love to see:
1. Townies having their own parties - I wanted to be invited too and choose my own "party guest" quest like party crasher, belle of the ball, social butterfly, wallflower, party pooper, etc.
2. Sims skill increase
3. Sims getting promotions & demotions - especially prioritising ambitious Sims. (If skill increase is off, this automatically get turned off), lazy sims are more likely to get demoted ✨
4. Relationships: - dating, break-up, cheating, engaged, married, divorced, and bonus relationships like flirtationships, workwife, etc. Also if Sims with negative social traits are more likely to break-up like jealous or hot-headed. Sims who are non-commital are more likely to cheat, etc.
5. Memories - Sims getting consequences and moodlets all on their own with other sims 😌
6. Reputation changes:- In the Get Famous expansion pack I want my mean and evil sims to be able to get negative reputations. I also want a new reputation slide for romance as in reputation from "homewrecker to perfect partner" and how it affects your likelihood in successful dating and you can only override it with high charisma/flirting abilities. 👌🏽
In the likes and dislikes box, I want new options;
5. Health & Diet: You should be able to move vegetarian (it really shouldn't waste our personality slots), lactose-intolerant in likes and dislikes. Add types of cuisine as a like/dislike for Dine-Out expansion pack would make so much sense. And foodie should be able to start food blogs.
6. Sexual Orientation; I definitely think with people being able to get into relationship we should be selective like if someone prefers fem individuals they get depressed and sad if they're in a relationship with a masc and on auto-mode are more likely to break-up. I also think sexual orientations should unlock in your teens and you can have the birds & the bees talk with your parents which prompts you to decide your orientation and you can do a range of options, which could be represented as spectrums. You could even make asexual systems, etc. If you don't have the "talk" then it should be randomly selected in adulthood like a surprise.
YES
they need to hire you.
Girl Yes!
I find it so annoying that vegetarian and lactose intolerant are personality traits 😑 i’m a vegetarian I would like to play with vegetarians sometimes, but making it eat up one of three slots so inconvenient.
@@mandisharp yes and no hate to modders but especially if i want a sim who is vegetarian, autistic and part of the lgbtq+ then that’s all of there traits it’s taken up of personal preferences not what they’re actually like 🙄
Moving out would be cool when family adopts a child so they’d need a bigger house or an extra room. Cuz what happens with bedrooms when you have a new kid?
This update came out only yesterday and so much appended in my legacy save, like one of the sisters of my sims had twins and the other sister adopted a baby while she already had a teenager, plus my sims cousin adopted a kid AND a cat, all of that in two sims days !
Edit: I didn't think this would get that much likes 😅😅
OH MY GOD WOW!!

That is so exciting. I can't wait to play with my legacy family. The only downside for me is that I'm about to start gen 3 so most of the starting families are dead or old.
This update is FANTASTIC. I’ve been playing with it for hours. Just wish sims could get married randomly, then it would be perfect. Hope it comes in a future update
looking forward to see the NPCs having 5 kids and only 1 bed

Definitely want dating and marriage to be added later so that my moved-out offspring can keep building the family tree without me.
Totally agree. It was sad to have the my main sim's siblings just grow old and die alone once moved out :(
Extra things I'd love to see! Dating and marriage will come with an attraction system based on traits, aspirations and likes and dislikes.
Cross pack compatability with people joining university, and joining clubs also based on traits for example!
well they can adopt cats and dogs now so compatibility is a thing
@@sillygoosetaur for sure but it's only 1 pack which I incidentally don't have. I was just thinking of ideas that spans more packs :)
@@pantherette113 oh yeah! i just meant they can already do it so th others are a option
Wish the neighbourhood changes were announced like a news articles or a gossip column for the more "juicer" life changes. Like how we had newspapers in TS2 and TS3, Sims could read the news to find out all the changes that is taking place in their world. Or even a news channel they could access from their TV/Phone/Computer. That would be fun.
I'd also like them to add some sort of fued update later on, lmao. So, "X's new family is currently fueding with Y's family because of their recent divorce. The step kids don't like their new parents. Etc." Maybe I've just got too much Bridgerton and Gossip Girl on the brain. XD
literally yesterday while doing a legacy challenge i was thinking about how sad it is that other households don't really "live". I was afraid the sims that have to move out the house will just all die and not do anything on their own. immediately had a landgraab get electrocuted. great update!
Kinda ironic since they own the power company 😂
I would personally love to see maybe for step 3 or later on down the road something where
1. Younger Sims when they age up to adults they move out.
2. Your sims could be invited to a wedding or play a role in a wedding depending on if your sim has a good relationship with them.
3. Your Sims can get invited to birthday party’s and so on and such through neighborhood stories.
I think the only thing that could make this better, aside from getting more of course, is if we would adjust the frequency that certain events happen
I played for like 2 hours yesterday and my two unplayed family’s suddenly both had 6 children each 😅
Yes bc knowing EA they’ll overdo something like this. I want it to occur more natural than that.
Kayla: I don’t think that I have ever been so excited about a sims update.
Me: didn’t she cry over configurable stairs?
Toddlers was the last time
it's great to see players getting excited about this game again cause that hasn't happened in a long while..
Completely agree! I know there are still problems that a lot of people are having but its been nice to feel like EA has SORT OF been trying the last couple years! 😁
The pop ups remind me of like people gossiping about things, like “Oh she quit her job”, “They adopted a pet”, and I am so here for it 👏🏻👏🏻
I literally love this because when I do my legacy sims the world dies off around my active family and it gets boring in later generations.
yes for real! i made it like 4 generations i to my legacy challenge and i was like, ok something isn’t right here with the rest of the world
@@hanpear I restarted during my 5th gen right before the update so I had the best timing haha. When my world got like that though I’d just drop random families from the gallery to fill the void.
mc command centre has been my saving grace on my legacy save
Like the first thing I thought was "oh this will be cool for legacy challenges"
@@harlequin5664 this tho honestly
I started playing Sims again a few days ago as I finally had time. I go back on it later and notice how almost every non played family had either adopted an animal or child (unless they had one). Of course, Bella Goth was missing. Plus, one of my sims started a fire and like 3 random neighbor sims ran in to help put it out. Then, neighbors later visited with a meal to offer. Kind of cool. I just didn't realize that they were personal options you could do now.
I was playing yesterday and my current sims aunt died electrocuted and her husband just adopted a child (even already being a old man almost dying) while my sims grandmother adopted a dog. I confess, I'm loving this new update and all these aleatory surprises. Maybe now vampire sims can die accidentally because of the sun? Who knows.
I think it'd be funny if there was a small chance of a townie becoming an occult sim
@@thepokemonqueen I agree, it would be cool if a sim randomly decided to be turned into a vampire or even a mermaid, it would be interesting to see. Could they even decide to have children with an alien? (with the gamepack Back to Work) would be really interesting.
I didn’t even have wild custom settings (mostly just turned off moving for the basic townies) and all of the households filled up with kids and pets in 2 weeks. I’m talking single sims with 7 pets in every world. Definitely too many too quickly for me. So many events were happening that I thought clicking the mailbox triggered events at first 😅 It seems that the custom settings are like a guaranteed event that will keep repeating until the household fills or I micromanage them anyway. I can’t wait to see what the next phase of this story progression update will be!
I think this update is SO important. It’ll mean EVERY save file will feel unique and I love that
This is SO exciting. I would love if they added other sims going to college and graduating at some point. I'd love to do a 100 baby challenge and the moved out kids actually lead their own lives. I think they should also do an update on families to recognize in laws, cousins, step family, etc.
I'm really glad they did this. I hope in the future this can be extended to autonomous casual romance (ACR). That was a fantastic Sims 2 mod that made the game feel alive.
They will be working on the relationship side of the neighborhood stories. We will probably see they can marry by random i am so excited
The Free Love NAP from eco lifestyle gives me ACR vibes
@@suzannareinhardt8657 Free Love bothers me because it removes the idea of consent. Which is probably an odd thing to focus on, but...there you are. Plus, TS2 days I had a cult called Free Love and it really was about committed relationships with multiple partners, not randomly snogging passerby.
For those of us who have the vampire pack, I think it’d be interesting if they added a “became a vampire” option in the next story progression update
Or if you have Get to Work, "so-and-so got abducted by aliens and impregnated" or something
what's so cool about the adopt a pet thing is it makes everything feel more connected? like this is a thing from one expac that can now *automonously* spread to worlds from other packs
This is the type of thing I’ve been thinking about with adding burglars back, I’d love to have the challenge back w the option for it to not happen if you want.
I'd love for most of the things in the game to be able to be turned off or on. I would love for the game to be more customizable.
i think this module system is awesome. i feel like modders will definitely be able to add some other modules for us to activate and get more stuff, like sims going to uni, getting into relationships, cheating on each other and stuff... a dream!!!
A fun thing about this is now all the extended family from your legacy plays can get on with stuff now.
I'd like to know the logic behind the pregnancies and adoptions - e.g., do they need beds available?
I love everything about this! The most exciting thing to me is that they’re able to adopt pets now. I always hated that when I started a save I’d be the only person in the entire world with a pet (minus Brindleton Bay)
Honestly what gets me really excited is thinking about what the modding community could do with this, I can just see my world getting more and more chaotic
I love this update, I got a message to say that the Goths had decided to adopt a toddler, I only ever use townies/premades as DNA donors, but I had two toddlers and decided to pop over for a play date
Yes it would be so cool to see Bob and Eliza Pankcakes to randomly get a divorce. Or see random weddings or get invited to them. I hope they add that feature.
“The Pancakes Household has adopted a child. Eliza Pancakes has died in an accidental fire!”
case 39
**insert little girl in front of burning house meme**
The Orphan sims version
"accidental"
*accidental*
This update is killing me. EVERYTIME I switch from my main family BOOM a new baby in the household!!!! It’s definitely spicing up the game.
I played with this a bit yesterday and left all of it on and my Sims went wild with adopting! One one hand it’s nice because my neighborhood was starting to look a little elderly but at the same time it was very overwhelming at first.
One big thing for me would be to have a summary of each sims history accessible in a separate panel.
Right now we can see what are the likes, dislikes and jobs of sims we know (if we have asked about that), but a more complete panel of information, including known past employments etc... would be nice.
Playing this game I am often confused about who does/likes what already, and with sims changing things like jobs (which is a great addition of course) I will be even more confused about the sims I meet.
J Huntington III and his husband filled up their household w babies. They have 5 kids and a little dog now I was surprised they had so many but i don’t mind finally the town will go on without us doing all the work 🤣
This has been the funniest news report I've seen yet for some reason lmao
Wait-- J has a husband!!!?? My longest save slot's sim's husband is J😂
j is every beginners first husband, glad to see hes been able to settle down.
I had stopped playing the Sims 4 for a year because I got frustrated with having to repopulate the town with gallery families in order to do my legacy files. One day I got so bored I just opened the game and realized they had story progression and the toddler update and I freaked out in excitement. Now I'm always interested in starting new files to see how the towns are different. For some reason though the Pancake family always has a full house of bio kids for every file I've done.
omg neighborhood stories has been so fun. the feng household just adopted the ugliest dog ever, and like wow i kinda wanna steal it
LMFAOAO😭😭
💀💀
steal the dog. marry in. divorce. take the dog.
@@L3mXn yesssss
Super happy about this, am also on a trip, but I’m going to test this WITHOUT MC command center because that does so much of this for me.
I ripped off that band-aid too, to see how I felt about this. The only mod I miss now is my doorbell. That has to come back. But it feels nice to have such a "clean" game now. I'll eventually bring back MCCC for the autonomy control - there's just too many things I want to disable or enable, but the population activity is fine, especially once they add marriages.
I'd like to see a 'frequency' option where you can set how often Townies make autonomous decisions.
I’m surprised the update didn’t come with it, modders have it to where you can change how often things happen maybe they’ll add it soon.
I played with story progression for the first time yesterday and the CHAOS was so fun. Judith Ward had twins with Malcolm Landgraab. Who then also had a child around the same age with one of the vampires. It was amazing.
I’m so excited about this! I’m working through a legacy challenge and I want the iconic townies to stay around so now hopefully that’ll be easier than having to go into their households lmao
Hopefully they'll add marriages very soon, because without families having children getting married, there'll only be adoptions to single parents long term. No full families.
@@Daiska_Plays right I also saw someone else mention this but being invited to other sim’s weddings and parties would be fun too!
I started a new save yesterday for this specifically. In that save, Johnny Zest is already dead as a young adult. I have no idea how he died either. But it’s so cool that we have story progression now.
I’m literally so happy about this, and I’ve just begun a new legacy challenge and it’s been only like half a generation so I can still get this in. I’m excited to see what modders do with this.
My first time ever checking and I got “Mary Greenburg was so angry she burst into flames and died.” 😅
I think you should do another“leaving my game on for 24 hours”. It would be a great way to see more of the story progression update.
Love how she said no baby booms lmao. My game I had the Goths, the Langraabs, the Pancakes, The SKL household, the Caliente's, the Bff's all adopting and having babies in the span of two Sims weeks. So my game has a ton of babies that would never have existed without the help of this update lol
I think those pop ups needs to be less likely like I don’t think every day your neighbors would move out/ adopt a child/ die.
If they have a slider or something so you can select how often something might happen. Or maybe make it depend on how fast you have your world set to, like if life stages are short you are going to want things to happen faster, but if you have longer life spans than 0-2 a day is more balanced.
@@ThatOneLadyOverHere yeah true but still if I’m playing short life span and all of my sims are dying fast anyway i don’t think I like it if they would die even faster or like idk have a child or something when they are elders
@@Amitwallenstine I disagree Personally I play on short life span because I love the chaos so that sounds even better to me
@@purmplelol oh I play normal life span so yeah
I'm definitely going in for every one of the games premade townies that I made over and adjusting what they can do. I don't need Nancy Landgraab to abandon her newly adopted child and have the pancakes move to sulani..
I felt the same about the moving out! I often like to make homes for specific sims, so them moving out wouldn’t work well with that, but I love the other options!!
Clement Frost moved into a lot in my game. He is also friends with my sim so he called asking if he should ask someone on a date and I said yes and so now he has a girlfriend as well.
He moved into Glimmerbrook in my game. I thought that was perfect :)
he became my next-door neighbor when he moved into that haunted apartment in san myshuno. literally the least fitting place he could have moved into lmao
It's kinda crazy how the neighborhood stories go. In this save I'm currently playing, I created a lot of sims in different household and they can't stop having babies. While my sims were at uni for literally just three weeks, I got calls from this one lady at least four times asking if they should try for baby. I'm the type of simmer who always vote yes, so now they expanded from a 4-sim household to 8. There's also this sim living with her noncommittal boyfriend, whom I'd planned to have one of my sims marry, ended up pregnant and now I've no idea whether to move the baby in or not. I'm pretty sure I disabled the "having a baby" option for this particular household and really confused how that happened LOL
I feel like this update can get overwhelming, they keep getting pregnant and adopting everyday, plus getting pets. Will a dog bed and dog bowl appear in their house when they get a dog? Or will they get another bedroom when they adopt kids or get pregnant?
Nope.
no
I think the bedroom thing is kinda impossible, but if they somehow coded it to only add another human if there was another bed available if you put it in the house description, that would be cool. The dog bed/bowl couldn't be too hard though, they already put bassinets for babies around.
@@leyadil yes bc there were times where I impregnated a townie I didn’t live with and when I visit the house later I see that the toddler/ child doesn’t have a bed or anything so I was hoping that would change w this update. I want the townies to take care of the things they have lol
@@leyadil Pescado did that with Awesomemod back in the day.
I love how you went and checked because I did the same thing to make sure this wasn’t half assed. And then I got excited because THEY GAVE US SOMETHING THAT WORKS

“I want someone to die!”
Legacy challenge :
“Can people stop dying it’s really annoying!”

9:19 So her original name is Francine Spencer, in my country for some reason they changed it to Francine Salazar, I normally hate when they do this, but on this particular sim I liked it
I want neighbours stories to include skills. That would tie well with career promotions!
That's a really good idea!!
I'm really excited! Could you maybe show how you will change your MC Command Center settings to accomodate this new update?
There’s even more types of calls. I got one about a simstagram meme and one asking if they should go on a date with a townie sim.
I'm just getting back into the Sims 4 and I'm so excited about this! Finally it'll seem like the Sims around me are progressing in life as my Sims are moving and living their stories :D
As someone who loves to have big families w/generations I loveee this so I can play my sims while the others in the fam still develop. More realistic as an entire world!!! Super excited to play this!! Also they’re totally trolling Kayla with that twitter response lolll
Oh my god this is amazing! I've been wanting this since i was a kid and started playing sims! This is the best thing that has happened in sims since alt-placing windows and doors. I am so excited!
I can't say that I've seen that the townies have filled the whole household with children only, but there is definitively a few households that are filling up quite a bit with cats and/or dogs. Though, some households are getting quite a lot of new children...
I think it's quite great though! Love the update. I had Dina Calliente die of overheating, but that's the one death I've seen so far. Though, in my game, the Landgraabs have adopted or birthed three kids and a dog, which I believe is because of Geoffrey being Family Oriented. Almost every household in the world has gotten at least a child or pet.
*Kayla:* "This is the first time a Sim has autonomously gotten pregnant in my game. This is the best day of my life!" "Overall, Sims Team, you have made my life."
*Dan:* Um...say what now???
This is really interesting as I've got MCCC and my biggest issue is that Sims have too many kids and all my townies have half siblings cause so many of them partner swap. But I may turn that off now in MCCC and just have this.
Play around with your settings! there’s an option to set a cap for max number of offspring in MCCC and rules for breakups.
@@claireasmr1226 I have done. And it just won't work for me so I'm playing without it while I cull the townies.
Saaaame
The one thing about sims now just autonomously having kids and adopting pets is that I wonder about if their houses will actually have the right stuff. Like are they just gonna have their toddler sleeping on the couch and have no food bowls for their dog? Or if they add items are we gonna end with a bed blocking the kitchen? And if the sims like move, the house isn’t gonna be designed for their household so you might end up with grandma sleeping in a kids bedroom.
Yes! Like if family gets bigger then what happen? I think it will not add items like beds but people fall asleep on floor XD so they do any action to meet needs
Great, now we just need more sims to engage in social events and activities 😂
😂 true
YES! I love this so much. This makes me excited to see future adjustments and what they add to this. Love that they did it in a way where you can customize it so specifically down to household by household and which ones are active. This is so huge for story telling and progression. Gahh so hyped for all the unique saves and potential.
On the one hand this is amazing. On the other hand I play with aging turned off. So I feel like having all of these on will eventually lead to all the townies being dead and all of my worlds full of orphaned babies.
since i ea skittle n first started watching sims videos, i’ve always wanted this! i’m so so so happy and now i feel motivated to start playing the game again
I’ve been waiting for the sims to do this! I’ve literally always wanted this, this is what make the gameplay fun!! Thank you simsie and sims community!!
I LOVE this update. The Landgraabs in my new legacy challenge had another son and he's actually goodlooking, has the 'good' trait so now the second generation heir is dating him
I love this!! Next I hope they make it so other households can autonomously change their furniture (e.g. if they have a new baby then as the kid grows up the appropriate furniture is part of the house like a potty and toddler bed)
Yes! Tina Tinker kept having kids and when I went over to her house there was zeroooo furniture for them lololol
@@SamBrilhanteOfficial exactly! Like you make a house for a toddler then revisit it when the toddler is an adult and their bedroom is exactly the same haha
I don't think they would change it super drastically, but if there could be toddler beds/potties spawning just like bassinets I would love that. Imagine seeing toddler potties on their lawns...
I'm so glad I have Kayla to thoroughly explain the updates to me because TBH I saw it yesterday butwas to lazy to read everything and didn't know half as much about it as I do now lmao.
This will make playing legacy challenges that much more interesting too. Instead of always have to redo the townies since they all eventually just died off. The excitement is real😭🥰
I just came back after years of watching.. YOUR AT 1 MILLION!! I’ve been watching since BEFORE your face reveal!! INSANE 😳
simsie never disappoints with all the sims info!
As someone whose been very critical of the sims 4 recently, I have to give the devs credit where its do, I tip my hat to them.
This is going to be AMAZING for legacy challenges!! Omg
I had a death in my SimsieSave10 file. Was doing The Unlucky Chef scenario (since you can now use existing family's in existing saves. Eddie Webster got a message that Kenichi Kato got so angry that he burst into flames and died. 😲
My only issue is they seem to happen way too often, especially some of the super big ones
I agree, i'm def adjusting all the pre-made townies and what they can do. I don't want the Landgraabs adopting a kid just to abandon them like Johnny, or have eliza force bob to move to sulani 😂
I am in love with this base game update! It is so good and theoretically the whole neighbourhood shouldn't die now when doing legacy sims as well.
