      We are still waiting for essential elements present in all the other sims games that are missing:
      - Being able to cuddle your partner in bed and not just sleep
      - Being able to read a book lying on your bed!
      - Very poor romantic interactions in this opus
      - Thieves

    I love how this build is actually mid century with the obnoxious colors and decorations. When I do midcentury it's definitely a more contemporary take on it. I also appreciate the wall lights in every room because my family's house is midcentury and all of our bedroom's have a single super dim wall light

    I love the Desert Lux sliding door, but as I painfully learned in my own gameplay, the game treats it as an archway and random townies will constantly enter your home through it unless you have a locked fence 😩😩 Can't have nice things...

    • @Kate09090
      @Kate09090 Год назад +6

      I would probably only use that in a fenced in backyard purely because I don’t trust townies. It doesn’t surprise me that they constantly enter your home given that they constantly enter your conversations uninvited.
      (Not that I’m ok with it, I’m just not surprised).
      I wonder if it still happens if you use the “set as front door” option on a different door. 🤔

    The house that I grew up in was built in the late 1940’s. The whole back wall of the living room was made up of window panes, very similar to what you did in this living room (ours were more rectangular though). Spot on!
