The Sims 4 Fun Detail Thread: A collection of obscure, unexpected, and sometimes incredible details you might not know about.

A popular one: If a Sim plays with the boo boo Billy doctor playset and then grows up to be a doctor, they get a moodlet about dreaming of doing this as a child! #TheSims4

i want to make a mod so it can't go any higher in level than your fitness skill, or something. i think it's naet it's its own skill but I also think not every single sim regardless of physical ability should be able to perfect it lol

I want my sims floppin'

What in the fuck is the difference between staying home and not voting?

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 1d

How's this stance working out with the people who abstained from voting for Kamala and simply allowed the current administration to waltz in? Can you remind me? Is it going really great and everything's better than picking the lesser evil?

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 1d

well, sonic adventure 1 and 2 were "good" by mistake

they're kinda crappy games loaded with basic design issues and poor controls and cameras and stuff

but the music is good and they're just dumb fun. so they're "good" but they're also just kinda not good games. heroes is not the same kind of bad.

I really think the entire idea and execution behind her is really fantastic, very unique and special. The fact she can hold real physical concerts despite not being real is incredible lol

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 1d

(The song in the video is essentially about her being given form and live through creatives giving her a purpose through song)

She's the most real non-real being there is, I think. It's more than being a mascot. Even if her personality isnt really set in stone and she isnt much of "a character".

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 1d

She's quite literally just a vocal library that was assigned an appearance. She is a fictional character but treated as a real and distinct being, who is given form and voice through the collective actions of fans who "instruct her" on performing, and she is "self aware of it"

The implication you keep making that the only reasonable option is a message on a discord channel is so ridiculous

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 2d

You can edit the description of the fucking page to say clear and simple: "HEY THE DATE ON THE SIDE IS WRONG WE PUT IT THERE FALSELY AS A PLACEHOLDER AND JUST FIGURED IT'D BE COOL TO OUTRIGHT LIE ABOUT EXPECTATIONS"

The soft reveal here that they're making the employees crunch for a cute release date they aren't even gonna meet is subtle but it's there

Yacht Club Games @yachtclubgames.bsky.social · 2d

This week, our team made a tough decision: we decided to delay Mina the Hollower. The entire crew has been working tirelessly day and night to finish development for release on Oct 31st, but we’re just not quite there yet.

Read the full announcement here➡️ycgurl.com/delayextravaganza

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 2d

The date on the kickstarter was deceptive and remained as such for almost 2 years. Only when that date started to approach did they start clarifying it as people who *Weren't* obsessively on the discord and instead *got their information from the main source of it* started wondering whats up.

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 2d

Oh, so it's on their discord. That's super transparent, then! Leaving it set to "December 2023rd" on the main page for their game that most people learning about the game would look at, for another year and 8 months, is totally fair then, because EVERYONE joins the discord and reads the backlog.

Have you ever considered that you don't actually have to be fair to bad-faith actors who do shitty things on an internet platform?

you're not the law. this isn't society. it's a website on the internet. you can keep out whoever you want, and no good person is gonna be upset if that's bad people.

Please link to and provide a screenshot of this. The fisrt update post for "We're funded!" does not clarify this at all. The entire page doesn't clarify it at all. The only date or range listed anywhere on the kickstarter is December 2023.

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 2d

You FINALLY give it a real release date, a year and a half after the date stated on the kickstarter for final delivery (no, I dont care that it was a placeholder, it was a declared date and you didn't bother to note anywhere that it would be wrong), and you...delay it again.

Unbelievable stuff guys

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 2d

Frankly, you're so lucky that this game appears, from looking at it, to be good.

Because its development has been a mess. The kickstarter declared it would release by December 2023. You later clarified "oh, thats a latest-possible placeholder" but didnt say that ANYWHERE on the kickstarter, EVER.

"EA designed the kids as kids and didnt check how they translated into adults to make sure they were hot" thank GOD can you imagine how fucking weird it'd be if they did? Or designed them to be hot and then made them kids?

oh apparently not because this is what people want them to do, I guess

Wafflecoaster Tycoon 2 @waffle64.bsky.social · 3d

Not to mention you have full control over how sims look. So. Like. Adjust them. But you don't have to announce to everyone "I DID NOT FIND THE CHILD SEXY AS AN ADULT AND HAVE THUS GIVEN THEM PLASTIC SURGERY IN LINE WITH THE BEAUTY IDEALS INSTILLED IN ME BY TOO MUCH TV AS A CHILD". just do it quietly

Something about Sims players being upset that child premades aren't sexy as adults feels really gross to me, not just because I think it's very weird to be disappointed a child didn't end up attractive enough for you, but it's also just generally unpleasant that all sims must be conventionally hot.

dark cloud is one of my favorite games of all time and dark cloud 2 is one of the best examples ever made of a game that built on everything in the original but came out worse. It's simply not as fun to play, it's bloated with excess, and it's not even fun excess, and the towns are too gimmicky.
