Ok so I know you are saying that you can’t combine apartments with working businesses but if you want to run a business at the bottom of an apartment building it can be done. You can make a working restaurant with home chef hustle or a nail salon using spa day pretty easily, just make sure the business portion of the building is in shared not individual apartment space and people will come right in if your business is based around a sales table.

@spooked_glitch Месяц назад

Tip from a European - over here (in the UK at least, not sure about the mainland) when there's an exterior fire escape, there's usually stairs down to what Americans would call the 2nd floor, then a ladder from there down to the ground which is essentially spring loaded so it rolls up away from the ground when there's no weight pulling it down to prevent people climbing up them to break in

@SharmClucas Месяц назад

That's how it normally is in the US too. At least, that's what I've seen from pictures and movies. I've never lived somewhere that had fire escapes, and I suspect neither has Kayla. Florida isn't exactly known for multistoried buildings unless you're counting the one that literally houses rockets to the moon.

@ThumperE23 Месяц назад

There are generally three types in the US...the ladder style you mentioned is the permanently fixed fire escape stairs type, and I have seen ones where the lowest flight of stairs is kept up until some weight is put on it to lower it.

@Anthia-jz2md Месяц назад

She has built this kind of fire escape already! I think when she did the towhhouses for a legacy challenge.

@Ashley_dear Месяц назад

I don't usually dig kits, but something about this I love dearly and it makes me want it. It'd be amazing to use with Dine Out if you can tolerate that.

@notatallfunctional Месяц назад

Whenever I make a restaurant, having a living quarters for the owner is always a MUST. Going back and forth between the restaurant and your home lot wastes so much time with loading screens. I know that you’re able to let the restaurant run by itself while you’re at home, but those employees cannot be trusted alone. Also remember to lock the employees out of the living quarters.

@StaceyBear Месяц назад

Re Login Rewards - as someone who is disabled and can't use a computer when I would want to I will definitely miss out on rewards- as someone who has been playing the Sims since the original game released and has invested a LOT of money into the game the login rewards feel inaccessible and gate keeper-ish.

@blaireshoe8738 Месяц назад

Absolutely! I hope they don't "fix" the filters, and that they are allowed to remain on the gallery so anyone can grab them that way too. That way the perk to claiming them during the event is just being able to find them easier, but you can still use them without.

@KatJustice97 26 дней назад

I filled out a survey regarding the log in event rewards and read them the riot act for punishing players who won't bend to their stupid mind games to access already made content available for free that is *artificially* hidden and locked. I'm case you couldn't tell, I'm furious

@percynotjackson Месяц назад

I think that the unlockable content should be achievements for play time! (ex. Play for 10hrs and unlock this item) That way they can reward people who play but new players could eventually “catch up” while the Sims team can just keep adding so long time players can keep earning

@persnickety99 Месяц назад

In addition to folks missing out because they can't log in for various reasons, it also disincentivizes new players. As somebody who only got into the sims in the past 6 months or so, I can imagine how disappointed I'd be if it was a few months from now instead and I learned about all these free items I'd never get a chance to get. It's a bummer to have missed out on some of the free packs, but at least I can buy those if I really want them.

@shela404 Месяц назад

I would love to see Kayla build a swanky hotel lobby or something with the 2 new kits! Like a nice hotel bar, big lobby (I think you mentioned that the new bistro tiles remind you of a lobby), and a pool or garden area outside with the Riviera pack I don't play a lot of Sims (just random building with base game stuff, and I don't own any packs), but I am SO tempted to buy the bistro kit now. I realized the reason is that I've always daydreamed of owning a cute little cafe and customizing the menu and the decor of it haha

@FirebladesSong Месяц назад

You need Dine Out to customize the menu, which only works in restaurants, and Get Together for the cafe lot type (not ownable by your sims, it's basically a bar that has coffee instead). Not to encourage you to buy those packs, but just so you know what to expect. Dine out is very well known for being glitchy and hard to play with. I only get it to work with a mod. If all you want is to build a cafe looking place, though, the kit is about all you need!

Anyone else think that the half curtains should go on the bottom half of the window like how they are in restaurants in old movies?

I think the tile floor in is bistro kit pairs really well with some of the tile wall papers from For Rent. You can see an example when Kayla is decorating the restaurant kitchen.

@EnterHandleHere Месяц назад

I found out something about the new bistro kit and I’m not sure if anyone else knows about it. It’s more of an accident find, but if you put the bar against the wall like in a normal house you get the option to make cafe type drinks and snacks. I tried it with other bars and those options don’t pop up. So you can in fact make coffee at the bar

@squidthing Месяц назад

Its very weird that the option only comes up when the bar is set against a wall! I wonder if its supposed to work from any placement during the day (like the kit description seems to promise coffee bar by day nectar bar by night) but EA did what they usually do and let it go on sale all bugged out. I hope it gets fixed if thats the case. I just tested it on a lot and it worked for me too.

@EnterHandleHere Месяц назад

They should do the log-in free stuff on a rolling basis. As in it doesn't matter when you log-in but the first log in is one item, the second log in the next item, third the third item and so on. this way there is no pressure to log in everyday and people can still receive all the unlockable items
