I just wish they where made into a real occult like ghosts. Even of it was just a “timed” one like it is now and appears to stay like that.
No hate, love the new update it’s just not it yet.
Will have to see in-game soon it’s here.
I will admit I’m salty about EA warping Plantsims to their current state for S4: Gated Access, Timer on Life State, Horrid Needs management at night. (Where Sun?) Yeesh. And very little to make them stand out social interaction and functionality wise.
That said, the modding scene knocked it out of the park. I utilize PlantSimLives by SrslySims and they feel much more “full”.
The other stuff EA plans for Plantsims does look interesting but I hold my reservations until the result is in hand/played.
Thank you, I’d never heard of this mod! Let’s hope the update doesn’t break it!
I will die on the hill that they should have take some of the fairy abilities – some – and used them for Plant Sims on a new skill tree with some crossover between fairies and Plant Sims. Much of the stuff above also could have been on the skill tree. Considering they made the effort to create new assets to make Plant Sims, it would have been appropriate to make them an official occult. Two fleshed occults in one pack would have also been great for the price as it feel kind of bare now.
Going all in on Fairies and skimping on everything else doesn’t make much sense when they could have taken a little off the top for fairies to give to Plant Sims.
Guppy, it would be better if they made one character well than to spread them out into many bland ones..
That’s why the Aliens are what they are, because many of their abilities are contained in the Sim-ray!
Now, now we have a really good one and one that’s lackluster. I was encouraging them to make fairies boring, but if there are two occults, there can be some crossover while maintaining the list of things above and put it into a skill tree.
It would make sense for them to update plant sims in the basegame and then have this EP as further support for the plant sims since it’s a nature based pack. Similar to ghosts. I’m glad that fairies have a skill tree because we’ve been burned before.
In the sims 2 and 3, it was paid, so for me it’s normal, it’s an additional element for this pack, we must stop wanting everything for free, it’s not fair for those who buy everything.Dans les sims 2 et 3, c’était payant, donc pour moi c’est normal, c’est un élément supplémentaire pour ce pack, il faut arrêter de vouloir tout gratuitement, ce n’est pas juste pour ceux qui achètent tout.
Plantsims deserve to be a permanent lifestate. An option to prolong the Plantsims timer is very bitter as it confirms the temporary nature instead of fixing it.
Also this should be base game
We neeeed better Aliens, Mermaids and Plantsims!
I am hoping they update aliens next!
