And just to be clear, this is an annoyance but there are other major things that actually affect rotational players like daring sentiments, changing relationships, failing university if you leave students alone etc. So this is more something to take into account before you plan a getaway.

But that’s exactly it, there Are other major things that affect rotational gameplay much more - this is a small annoyance at most and the headline makes it seem like a game breaking deal lol

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 4h

It’s just weird. I actually like the layout, but the builds are hideous

You can check their parents back at home - you just can’t switch households. While the kids are at camp, their parents are still in the same household.

It's nice as a warning, the headline is still clickbait and makes it sound like your game will break...I play rotationally and this is the least of my problems haha

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 8h

THIS hahaha I play rotationally and this is a minor annoyance in comparison

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 9h

well it's an annoyance for sure, but how long does it take to plan it again if it's saved as a preset? I mean, the game has many issues but not sure this would be the biggest oversight...

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 9h

Exactly this, tbh i never leave my households mid-party or mid-vacation...and honestly getaways are saved as presets anyway, when you're back in your household it takes literally 1 click to plan it again

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 9h

Exactly...I just dont see the issue like at all. Just finish the stupid getaway before you switch households and that's it. Also it's not like it's super hard to set up, it's literally saved as a preset so when you're back in that household just convene it again

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 9h

I just dont see the issue and you know I'm the first one to criticize EA lol but this is a bit ridiculous. The headline is clickbaity and makes it sound like the game will break if you do or something.

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 9h

tbh I think the headline is misleading - with the current state of the game it makes it sound like it will cause bugs or corruption and thats not the case

So "players who choose to plan a Custom Getaway in advance will have to stick to playing the same household until their Getaway is over. Otherwise, the game will decide to remove the planned Getaway from the schedule Calendar."...but why would I want to switch households mid-getaway?

Mindless mod folder and save file clean up night. Sometime ago I stopped using MCCC for story progression and started using neighborhood stories. I like being able to easily configure and turn it off for households. I like using this mod as well: www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/n...

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 12h

Yep they are backdrop builds! I guess with mods like blowtorch you can remove all the buildings but it’s so much work…I just wish someone recolored them to make them less ugly haha

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 1d

that would be amazing, I love the idea of those competitions (particularly the pie competition) but my sims aren’t travelling to Hanford for that

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 1d

Yep, even with this system we would still need to keep things more or less simple. I’m thinking more about multipurpose venues rather than anything that’s too complex because I know thats setting myself up for disappointment hah

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 1d

I wonder if you increase the cap with MCCC perhaps other sims will visit the lot too and act according to the schedules even if they’re not any specific role? There’s a “main activity” all sims are drawn to

Puck @anotherplumbob.bsky.social · 2d

The custom venues feature is definitely very micromanagey …but I can also see it having a lot of potential if it works well. I guess we can finally create seasonal festival lots like in the sims 3, and different types of bars (sports bars, dive bars etc), bowling alleys, movie theaters…

3.- A nice addition too: more slots in retail surfaces. Because I don't know why EA is so stingy with slots. www.patreon.com/posts/more-s...

2.- Lijoue invisible business surfaces: lijoue.tumblr.com/post/7777485... . Allows you to turn any surface in the game into a retail ready surface sims will purchase form. Anyone with TS2 will be familiar with this. Allows so much flexibility!

INVISIBLE SMALL BUSINESS SURFACES

I created 3 invisible objects to use with the new Businesses & Hobbies small business retail system. Now you don't have to use the specific Businesses & Hobbies retail displays — you can use these...
