mentally and chronically ill and very bothered about it usually
it's also not the actual devs being lazy obviously it's the people who direct them on what to do and what to concern themselves with and who says not to bother to do things like have weather match season besides prioritizing some bullshit with the flowers and making sure snow is appropriately timed
January 4, 2026 at 2:18 AM
cuz it's unfortunate that they couldn't program it so that rain passes, either

it's gotta be an all day affair sort of thing

if that's not the case then I stand corrected but it always seems like it's just a full sim day of one type of weather
January 4, 2026 at 2:16 AM
I'd just love to know what's the reason to have rain in the summer besides laziness

ain't no way they were like "no all worlds in the sims run on monsoon season logic"
January 4, 2026 at 2:16 AM
love to see what happens to the geek festival when it rains tbqh

but I turned rain off because it rains too much in teh summer

I might bring it back since I'm mostly playing an autumnal game file and it's been boring without some rain

it still rains too much 🥴for all the seasons.

it's like they're not even future proofing the packs as they think of them

when they know they're gonna do a weather/seasons pack
where it'll rain
and all the shit they've set up as outside electronics are gonna fail

it's some basic shit to make a few things rain-proof or to give it cover

one of the stupidest two venues I can think of for these DJ events are very much like "why are we partying here exactly"

the one that annoys me most is in Get Together
you party at some boring ass ruins

so you're fully fucking outside and it's like the devs are not thinking "we're GONNA HAVE RAIN"
January 4, 2026 at 2:14 AM
I guess bare minimum you do have unique events where sims are all set to dance BUT UHHHHHHHH

have seasons installed
and have an inability to fix any of this problem right when it happens:
it could rain and your outside DJ party gets ruined

no, I don't think they considered it nearly enough
January 4, 2026 at 2:13 AM
which should still just be the bare minimum

instead I don't find any outstanding sim behavior at parties or events that should probably happen more often

I wish they were set to do things a bit more reliably than doing random shit, especially if there's a lot for them to do
January 4, 2026 at 2:11 AM
also? growing together pack and horse ranch so far aren't that bad

I've not touched wedding stuff cuz I don't really fuck with events even like that--I don't like the event system in the Sims 4

they used to be happy when you put on some music and got food out

it was how quick it was and how he just sort of woke up and it all happened while he was sitting

it was fucking seamless

he didn't need to get up and dramatically fall to the ground, his ass fell asleep for about 1-3 sim hours on the chair

I do love when they fall asleep in bath tubs to be fair
January 4, 2026 at 2:10 AM
literally the only other one that comes to mind is when I was experimenting with the bubbler thing

the fucking hookah basically

and I was trying different flavors and my sim was alone in the house

so he fell asleep for like 2-3 super speed hours just from the hookah 😭I was dying

I've played enough of the Sims 4 to have a few moments of going "that was pretty amazing gameplay"

one of them is just playing as the werewolf for the first time and he had friends he could call up 💀so it all worked so fucking well as like "oh he's like on a bender, that's funny"
January 4, 2026 at 2:08 AM
but then again if you delete vlad and the other two vampires and just steadily cull vampires--I think MCCC might let you exclude paranormal sims from the population as well

cuz he's the only one for sure who has all the perks required to do the shit he did in my game �
January 4, 2026 at 2:06 AM
I can see how it'd ruin your immersion if you were a pure realistic player though lmfao

like it's so literally invasive

and I didn't actually think it'd work--someone explain to me why the fuck the vampires work so well 😭why are they so much better than spellcasters and MOST supernaturals
January 4, 2026 at 2:05 AM
I just wished it was slightly more brutal and there was a greater chance of death

idc if it's not a change bite, but like make him sick or just make it more dire I guess

I absolutely hope it kills your sims if they're too low on their needs--I was HOPING it might kill this sim but alas
January 4, 2026 at 2:03 AM
are there sirens inside these caves

like I just considered that whole "oh darwin awards"--these are smart capable survivalist type people

something fucking seductive calls to them to do cave diving and it's like ??? so you can find OTHER DEAD CAVE DIVERS? you could all just STOP lmfao
January 4, 2026 at 1:55 AM
if the fishes are like "fuck that, it's too dark, we're going to get turned around--it doesn't even have enough oxygen FOR US FISH" WHY WOULD YOU GO DOWN THERE

I'd only understand it if it was fully a biological environment

at least then I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING DOWN THERE TO SEE 🙄
January 4, 2026 at 1:48 AM
these caves don't even hold creatures in them!!!! these water ways DON'T HAVE FISH

IT PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN HAVE VEGETATION

WHY WOULD YOU THINK IT COULD CONTAIN HUMAN LIFE
January 4, 2026 at 1:46 AM
"he's got a full tank of oxygen and this pocket of air that he died inside, what actually happened"

and in the video he just drops the camera suddenly after taking in a breath

like oh my god what an actual fucking death trap why would you ever 😭
January 4, 2026 at 1:44 AM
he got stuck or turned around so in desperation he found a pocket of air, took off his gear that still had a full tank of oxygen inside, and breathed in exactly once before he just collapses and dies

we know this cuz he was filming 😩everyone was confused when they found the body
