I've gotten several comments suggesting that the items go to family inventory instead of the Sim's personal inventory. They DO NOT go to the family/household inventory when you are not controlling the Sims. Some items go there after purchasing, but only for the active family. I have tested this dozens of times with numerous households. Playables you do not control don't actually buy anything.

When I saw this comment plus reached the part of the video where you discussed this. I WAS SHOCKED! I had a clothing store, designed the clothes myself so townies can look nicer but now I'm wondering if I should really sell other items other than clothes. Since items don't go to your inventory (whether personal or household) I guess I should stick to clothes. Wait! What if its the same issue with clothes?!?

Id suggest speaking with the modders on the Mccc discord. There are so many wonderful and knowledgeable folk there. Also the modder basemental that makes the adult drugs mod has sims who purchase the drugs also use said substances as well in the world. So it may be a lead you could follow up in. best of luck! I really want something like this as well!!

And I hate being told we need to stop complaining or being "ungrateful". If you've played Sims 1 and 2, you know this game has so much it CAN do (it's made HUGE strides) and seeing Sims 4 go back in such simple ways that impact gameplay a lot, it makes you angry; it's like EA is doing everything we DON'T want when it's so obvious what could fix this entire game (it doesn't take a genius to know). I know people say this is "just a game", but for a lot of people, this has been THEIR game since childhood or teenhood and it holds a place for us. It honestly kind of hurts to see such an amazing game be watered down so much. I've been playing this game since I was 10 when I got Sims 1 and was amazed at how much better this game got each time, but then Sims 4 is just... ugh. It's decent, but it's not what we KNOW it could be.

@depressed cockroach I have no idea if EA was given a smaller budget for TS4 compared to TS2 but I would guess that TS4 has had a larger audience and therefore a larger intake of profits. That being said it's hard to justify not increasing the budget after 6 yrs of steady profit and putting it back into the franchise. Unless, that money is being spent on other things such as maybe The Sims FreePlay, maybe even The Sims 5. That brings me to my next point which is, our money in not going into TS4 and the budget only leaves room to recycle objects with new skins and recycle animations with only adding new moodlets. Yet we will be charged to play TS5 even though we've essentially already paid for it.

I just hate that this game is over 6 years old and it still has no story progression. The lack of items in their inventory that we saw them buy is a product if that! How they ever thought to release a game that had monster progression is beyond me completely. I have played the sims since the original game and I have enjoyed every one. I even enjoyed the sims 4 at first, until I realised how unfinished and messy it is STILL. And as much as I love CC and mods I shouldnt have to use mods on order to play a game. I can play sims 2 and 3 happily without any mods and any I do have simply advance my gameplay or let me control minor things that are tailored to my play style. In sims 4 I cant even touch it without several script mods. Sadly, I dont believe it will ever be fixed.

@@Boochieween When it comes to Sims 2 CAS is very outdated but with some great replacements for items in the game you can update your sims quite a bit ofc there is cc. The only issue i have is only two body types you are stuck with but yeah the game came out so long ago they probably couldn't figure out how to implement body diversity Build & buy mode is less detailed from 3 & 4 but is still more then enough for regular builders and with some cheats and tricks and cc you can make great builts. But the thing Sims 2 does best is the gameplay. Gameplay is so rich,personalities actually exist and are very much present in your sim's life. Neighborhoods are full of drama and stories,you can go for scripted events but you can also play as you wish. Not to mention you can make your own neighborhoods. Swatch system i forgot to mention is also better then in Sims 4. Also there are so many realistic details not included in the Sims 3 & 4. My favourite packs for Sims 2 are OFB,Nightlife and University. Did i mention that in Sims 2 you can drive cars unlike the Sims 4

The SIms 4 is purely made for builders and they half-assed every other aspect of the game. They know that objects are the easiest thing to make, so they can pump those out 3-4 times a year to keep the expansion pack income flowing. Its hard to believe that there are so many game-breaking bugs in the game still. And at least base game bugs have a chance of becoming fixed, but if your bug is in an expansion? Good luck. Those never get looked at again after they released them.

It would have been fun to go to the store to buy new clothes like in TS2... Even if you are lazy and don't want to go to store to buy new clothes we could have online stores where sims could just order them at home. And of course you could use cheats to go to CAS and edit your sims there when your children grow up so it won't be such a hassle everytime. So it's not like it would be impossible to have both in the game!

I started playing The Sims with Sims 3, so I can say this without any nostalgia goggles what so ever... the Sims 2 really kicks the Sims 4's ass. I only seriously picked up 2 a few years ago when EA was giving out the Ultimate Collection for free. It really is the little things for me. Like, when sims cook in 2 they'll open drawers on counters and "pull out" different utensils to cook with rather than manifesting them from thin air. Or the romantic interactions? Compare the stargazing interaction in 2 to the one in 4. In 2 they'll snuggle up next to each other and rest their heads on each others chests and gaze lovingly into each others eyes and in 4 they just... lie flat on the grass near each other. I guess "underwhelming" would be the right term for 4. Sims 2 just has so much more life and personality. The main reason to play 4 over 2 is the vastly improved CAS (seriously I love the ability to swap masculine/feminine clothing preferences and gender and the like on the fly), the abundance of CC, and the improved build/buy mode. That's literally it, though. If I could get a mod that put 4's CAS, CC, and Build/Buy mode into 2 I would never play 4 again.

I didn't even know a retail pack existed. That's how much I care for the sims 4 lol. The buying simulation (or lack thereof) wouldn't bother me. I specifically installed a mod in the sims 2 to stop purchases appearing in Sim inventories, because I would just be able to sell them, essentially giving the household free money. Of course there are many ways to fix that. But the Sims just bunching up in one place and not acting like real customers sure would steal any enjoyment for me. Do they even test their own packs?! Like...how did they release such a horrible AI? And ringing up with an iPad? What? If you're able to place a register, why can't you use it for its proper purpose ? Urgh. Anyway, great video!

@@PleasantSims they definetely couldn't use the same ofb system as sims 2 because sims 4 has different lot system. Sims 2 base game has two types of lot residential and community. So you don't own store or a restaraunt, you own a community lot. Roles of the stuff and the customers are tied to the objects on the lot. Sims 3 and sims 4 shifted from this by making specialised community lots like "gym", "lybrary", "park", "night club", "cemetery" etc. And I think this is why sims 3 didn't tried to do a business expansion pack. Because since sims 3 every community lot has a type so every business lot has to be a type of business. They can't give us a customisable sims 2 style business anymore. They can only introduce new types of businesses, like hotels in sims 3 and restaraunts in sims 4. Which would be totally fine if they would have done better jobs with the retail stores. Restaraunts and vets are nice. You have customer ratings, reviews, you have to train your employes, perks are specific to that type of business, further customisation. So when I want to play business in sims 4 I open a restataunt, they are clother to ofb.

OFB was THE BEST. I don't even get what Sims 4 retail is. I liked how, in OFB, you could have a lot that people paid just to visit or you could have a family home on top of a store you owned. L LOVED that because it's something you see in real life; family-owned businesses that are apart of their home. The businesses you could have could range SO much. People actually had the stuff in their inventory. You could hire your family to work in your store. And set jobs for each person to do. Like, it ran like an actual store. Some people didn't like when sims would get angry and leave, but it's realistic; if you're at a store and you've waited 20+ minutes to check out, you'd probably leave, too, lol. Not to mention the levels to your store, which gave you like a mini-game within the game. It was just such good gameplay. I've honestly never bothered with the system in Sims 4 because it's just so boring.

The Sims 2 OFB is what I expected The Sims 4 Get to Work to be, partially. I knew the active jobs were going to be a part of it, but when I saw retail was a thing, I figured "oh so it's gonna be OFB again, sweet" and then that went to "um... what is this?" Sure, the tablet is more modern, so I could see that (though that's not a thing irl so it really makes no sense), but other than that, running a store in Sims 4 is boring and I hate having no control over my employees. Being able to give them specific tasks makes perfect sense. I guess you could argue that the fixed roles are a thing, but so often they just do what they want. I don't know, it just doesn't feel the same. It's always the same with the new stuff in Sims 4: "Oh, this is cool... let's try it" *plays for a few hours* "...bored now." The worst part is that the formula was already there! They just had to copy it. But yeah, I guess EA just hates things that aren't corner-cutting messes.

The main ones I can think of are the Apple Store and the Comcast store in my area... one of the Walmarts used to have someone who would walk through the long lines and ring people up with a tablet, but it stopped earlier this year, because of covid.. Other than that, I've never seen them in any store because, even if it's modern, it would take way too long for a few people to come up to everyone with their tablet. They'd have to hire a BUNCH of people for it to work well. And as I mentioned before, with covid, that close interaction to so many people would probably be discouraged.

@LadyTsuki 3 жыл бұрын

@@BooDotBoo Oh ok, so it does exist. And yeah, it's obvious they'd put such close interaction on hold.

It's probably why you're more likely to make the waiting customers angry. So I think I'll stick with my "unnecessary corner cutting" thought on how the process works. Though I'd think programming the tablet would have been harder than just having the cash register do everything. Then again, I'm no programmer.

It really adds to the limitless possibilities the Sims was known for in it's early days and I never played it until last year. As for sims 4 disappointing beyond belief it shouldn't bother me that the things a sims buys doesn't show up in it's inventory but it does. It's a great attention to detail and as someone who likes realistic game play it's sad that I need to be playing that Sim to make sure what I buy is in there inventory.

They don't have wishes towards specific sims. They don't have whims related to specific careers even! It feels like everyone has depression because they are so lacking in motivation. The only way to simulate internal motivation is to change aspirations. However there's only about four of those and hardly any of them correlate to careers or to skills. So I'm working on custom aspirations based on the TS3 base game aspirations, just going through each job and combination of skills trying to figure out how to structure it... TS4 feels like playing with dolls. TS2 and 3 feel like you're guiding a family or a world.

What business would spend unnecessary money to fix something if they can keep their money and still make lots of money? That wouldn't make sense for a business, lol.

Pleasant Sims like they even made a whole REALITY SHOW and they can’t fix their game🤦🏽‍♀️

I love Sims 2 but never played much of OFB. Your gameplay style is so cool and dynamic! I never considered making businesses like art galleries or museums. Definitely inspired to try OFB again in my own neighborhood!

It is really insane the amount of modes you have to use just to make sims 4 playable; like gezz. Take a shot for every time "mods" is said.

Sims 4 is like a parent’s “runt of the litter” child or a disappointment while sims2 and 3 are like the grand siblings that have success that the parents are proud of. Hope you guys understand what I’m trying to say 😅

Honestly, while I love Sims 3's open world, I'd be fine with a Sims 2 remaster where the only fix would need to be synced time across lots and I'd be good. The base of Sims 2 is solid and the only thing that ever bothered me was going to a lot and it becoming night, but going back home and it's still day xD

@PleasantSims 3 жыл бұрын

You can use the community lot time mod to fix this. Works great as long as you don't send your pregnant Sims out while they're pregnant. I've had issues with that. The mod enables the passing of time on community lots to be spent on the home lot. When a Sim leaves a community lot at 5:00 PM, it will be 5:00 PM when they get back home, but you’ll still be able to play the family left behind in the meantime.

Hihi! Could you possibly make a video of all the mods you use in the Sims 4. You mentioned a mod to fix the action delay when sims are instructed to do something. I bet you have more fixes and handy dandy things like that! I would love to watch a video where you show us what mods work for your game!

It's also crazy that Get to work is I think the first expansion pack and it's full of bugs. Also I'm pretty sure that if your active household "A" visits a retail lot owned by the household B, once you load the household B you'll get a pop up that says your store was opened for hundreds of hours and you've lost a bunch of money 💪🏻
