    Who knew all we needed to do was stop giving them money to get the updates we want! I've been WAITING for better stairs in any capacity

      @BrendanP 7 days ago +42

      I don't think the so called "boycott" had anything to do with it. I'm pretty sure EA has planned this stairs update for months.

      This is one of the first big updates we got since the sims game got sold to new owners

      ​@BrendanP probably, but at least we can pretend and be hopeful.

      @AeonKnigh432 there is no pretend and be hopeful, there’s don’t buy the new pack and actually boycott ea until they actually give us the fixes we’ve been asking for to make the features we already have paid for work and stop accepting these bs “shut up” gifts, your comment is exactly what ea wants, stop pretending

      @JessJaspjust tested in my game which doesn’t have the latest update and can confirm you cannot zoom in and out pre update. When satch on sims mentioned it I thought you always could as well but I guess not!
      What I’d really like is for it to be easier / possible to set up relationships in cas for sims you bring over to a new save from previous saves.
      About 18 mos ago my legacy save file started having a loooot of issues and I had to start a new save and move everyone important over and it let me set some of the sims relationships but not all of them. So my legacy founder now does not show as related to her children and grandchildren and many of them aren’t related to each other since they were all in different households with their own family’s. Even if I move them in together briefly it will not allow me to change the relationships. I think there’s a way to do it with mc command center but I don’t play with mods or cc.

      @WhisperTrainingu can use cas.fulleditmode lets u set family members and dynamics to existing sims.

    • @shrunken-cloud5
      @shrunken-cloud5 9 days ago +3

      It’s a cheat with ctrl shift c after activating it u shift click on a sim and select modify in cas.

      @cortneyjacobsen3882 If I remember from the Sims 3, Agnes and Cornelia Goth (Mortimer's mother) are sisters.

    • @Shleepy_Sheepy
      @Shleepy_Sheepy 10 days ago +26

      @AJBeals1212 Correct, thus why it shows Agnes as Mortimer's aunt.

      @DaughterOfApollo345yeah, I’m not sure why that worked because it *shouldn’t* have worked. All the details said that it was only for new save files.

      @elijahgates8980 10 days ago +325

      Ah this makes sense. I could’ve sworn that the Afro hair texture category already existed but I noticed it was gone in CAS a few weeks ago. I really hope the categorization is a lot better now …

    • @thecrow_937
      @thecrow_937 10 days ago

      @delfinabruno470 I haven't played in a while but with ui cheats (unless it changed) you can just click various bits of the ui to either complete them or to get rid of them. Like if your sim gets sad and you don't want them to be sad you can just click the little tile that labels them as sad and it'll disappear and put them back to whatever is their next strongest emotion, if you want to get through an aspiration without going through the trouble of doing all the tasks for it you can just click it and it'll mark whatever bit you clicked on as complete (like with the artist aspiration it wants you to view paintings at a museum, if you didn't want to you could click on that task and it'd mark it as done), or for events you can click on the tiles of the tasks for the event and it'll progress you through the event even though you haven't actually done whatever task it was (like for prom you could click on the dance with someone task and it'd mark that task as complete and progress your little bar closer to gold)

    • @margaretwolfe930

      @ashlyngibbs3801 10 days ago +21

  • @enderphoenix11
    @enderphoenix11 9 days ago +134

    10:11 Actually the Afro-textured has always been there. I think they just split it in Afro-textured and Curly as before it was sort of all lumped into one category. It's not new, just more granular. Which honestly I appreciate, I like having stuff properly categorized, and tbh I wish I could add my own tag filters to CAS as well haha (sorting all my sci-fi, fantasy, medieval, and modern stuff would be nice, or by cc author)

    • @Too-many-Lilys
      @Too-many-Lilys 7 days ago +7

      @enderphoenix11 that would actually be a really cool idea for them to let the player add our own tags! I’ve never thought of that before but now I really want that as a feature

    • @LorEnergy-g1e
      @LorEnergy-g1e 7 days ago +3

      Yeah "Afro-textured" was the title but it also included looser curls along with kinky/coily hair. "Curly" should have always been there along with afro-textured category

    • @enderphoenix11
      @enderphoenix11 7 days ago +2

      @LorEnergy-g1e Yeah it's kinda weird it took them this long to split it, but then again not very surprising considering their lack of enthusiasm for textured hair. Wasn't high on the priority list ig.. :/
      But we have it now so better late than never. Now they just need to add more than 3 items into the Africana clothing filter XD

    • @BackpacksAndBacklists
      @BackpacksAndBacklists 7 days ago +2

      I came here to say this! I noticed it was missing more recently, but the Afro-textured tag has been there before. I’m glad to see it back and in a way that functions better but I’m confused why they’re saying it’s new when it’s not.

      I feel sorry for your friend but we need to support ICE. I don't know your friend's situation but the blanket asylums from the Biden admin. is what caused them to look over these cases with a fine tooth comb. If they are here legally, I hope they get out soon, but just because you have one injustice doesn't mean we stop what ICE is doing.

    • @grakki91
      @grakki91 10 days ago +52

      if I’m remembering correctly I think Simsie said at one point it should actually be like 1000ish hours more. when the sims first came out, for whatever reason, time spent playing in the sims 4 would log in the CAS demo and not the actual game. so after the CAS demo was removed, her app stopped counting like 1000 hours in time played

    • @bookcat123
      @bookcat123 9 days ago +10

      It was originally straight, wavy, and curly. Then some years ago they renamed curly as Afro-textured because it made them sound inclusive without doing the work of actually sorting out Afro-textured hairs (or admitting how few they had). Then an update or two ago they put Afro-textured back as the original curly, and now they’ve added Afro-textured for real as a fourth tag that they’ve sorted the hairs that really are Afro-textured into.

    @Malfunctional 10 days ago +775

    This update makes me a little mad because they updated family tree and relationships, but they didn’t bother to add this feature/update in CAS, so you can’t even set/select the relationship in CAS in pre-existing games or in a new save file and apparently the select connection features is tied to the legacy pack and under scandals which is soooooooo dumb. :/
    They made it complex and time consuming for no reason.

    • @LadyCynthiana
      @LadyCynthiana 9 days ago +61

      @lilac_reed you shouldn't have to download a mod to edit relationships. It should definitely be in CAS.

    • @Malfunctional
      @Malfunctional 9 days ago +33

      @lilac_reednot everyone have access to mods and console players exist. Mods also shouldn’t be the solution to every problem that the sims have.
      If mods are what you have to get in order for you to be satisfied and complacent with the game then you’re feeding into EAs laziness.
      “Well let’s just let the mods do everything.”
      Mods are supposed to be for fun uses, not carrying your game on its back.

    • @lilac_reed
      @lilac_reed 9 days ago +1

      ​@Malfunctionalim not saying that mods should be the solution to every problem sims players have. But it IS the solution to things that ea doesn't do.
      And you can say what you want about mods but anyone who genuinely plays the sins knows that modders are the backbone of the community and i feel like saying that mods aren't for "carryig your game on its back" is kind of minimizing what mod creators do.
      As for console players, yes they dont have access for mods, that sucks and there should be more accomodations in cas for them, im not going to disagree with you there. I am curious as to what you mean when you not everyone has access to mods because your wording sounds like you are referring to people other than console players in that, so if you'd be willing to explain id be happy to listen.

      I mean, besides the money part, theyd have to recode EVERY SINGLE railing, from every single pack. And adding all of those to the idea of bugs, glitches, something that works that messes another thing up? It can take.. a lot of time.. though its probably mostly the money..

      @poochthedog1 10 days ago +27

      Im pretty sure her lore in the sims 3 is that her husband died before she can take on his last name so Crumplebottom is her maternal name and Cornelia Goth was Cornelia Crumplebottom before she married Gunther Goth

    • @itsmike64
      @itsmike64 10 days ago +14

      @poochthedog1 This is correct - Agnes Crumplebottom was engaged to Eric Darling who tragically drowned before they could get married, so she didn't take his name. Also, Mortimer is as much Crumplebottom as he is Goth for the record.

    1 thing I want in The Sims is an easier way to make floors sunk in the ground, and to have floors on the same level be at different heights and allow them to intersect.
    So like say you wanted to do a raised bungalow, where the basement is partially above ground and the entrance to the house is at the ground but the first floor is higher than that. You can't really do that in the Sims

    6:53 she didn't notice when she talking about the stairs comparision of sims 3, the "fancy" stairs she just showed, didn't had the little points to make them curve. so I'm guessing some of the stairs are limited to curving.

      Nah there's at least some that they've added in the base game but VERY few if none from other packs. Also yeah, I'm pretty sure the high-ups (not to be confused with the creatives) refused to approve a pack with an African inspired world because they said it "wouldn't appeal to a larger demographic" (I'm paraphrasing so don't quote me on this but yeah that's the reason) Having a single neighborhood in the new (potentially last) pack was their compromise.

      @selkiefluff 10 days ago +34

      Nah, if you know that they didn't agree to an African-centric basegame world and instead made a small African neighbourhood in the new pack, it makes sense that they had some features related to Black sims in store for the basegame too. The stairs are also definitely related to making grand mansions for the royalty part of the expansion. They're releasing the packs so fast now this came as a post-pack update rather than the usual pre-pack update.
