@@kevinmurphy4647 Infact, Witches, Werewolves, Vampires, Fairies and possibly Mermaids (Not sure about the last) can interact with the stone to do things, Witches cause a Bewitching Rain that gives all sims in it a Positive Moodlet and was supposed to make them dance, Werewolves call the Hunter's Storm which I think creates collectibles, Vampires I think block the sun out, and Fairies do a Reviving Sprinkle. which revives any Dead Plants that are exposed to it. and tends other plants.
I'm not sure if it can count but in the Sims 2 some community lots in Downtown (Nightlife) have a vending machine and/or a pool table (both from University). If you have Nightlife but not University the spaces for them are just empty.
In The Sims 3: - Mermaids (Island Paradise) will have their hydration need refilled if they stand outside in the rain (seasons), and they get a positive moodlet instead of a negative one. - Witches (Supernatural) get a moodlet if they're near a cat or small pet (Pets) they own. - There are potions (Supernatural) that can turn sims into mummies (World Adventures), SimBots (Ambitions), and genies (Showtime).
With the career day event, one of the careers that showed for me were criminal, so there was just a mob boss telling my sim why she should be a gangster 😭
One thing I've found really annoying with feeding the chickens is that if you have pets that like to play in trash, they will play in the chicken feed, you then have the ability to scold them for playing in trash and they get stinky from playing in it. I tried locking the gate to the chicken area but somehow it didn't work. It got so annoying for me that I ended up just selling the chickens.
This remind me of the cat lot trait, I’d moved one of my sims to a lot that has the cat lot trait. There was a second that didn’t go by without stray random cats constantly coming to my sims lot and vomiting all over. This sim, as most of my sims have the neat trait so she was constantly mopping up pools of vomit by default instead following her other cues…lol. Annoying asf.
I noticed that with a sim version of my IRL cat, Prince Eric, and he was always annoying the chickens lol. Pretty accurate to be honest, if he met a chicken I would be shocked if he didn't try playing with their food 🤣
something helpful I’ve found with apartments and werewolves is if your werewolf sim is in a ‘needs tlc’ apartment they can rampage on mouseholes and pipes/panels and destroy them. Solves the problem completely!
Seems more like an oversight where the TLC event items weren't excluded from the everything else werewolves destroy without prejudice. Still a pretty funny physics breaking image: fix the wall by tearing the hole apart. Werewolves are pure chaos and I hope that never changes.
In My Wedding Stories, if you collect one of the bottled messages named “Till Death…”, it explains the drama between the spirits Guidry and Temperance (Paranormal). In the bottle named “Sunlit Wishes”, it’s a wish made by Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant, whom I assume are the parents of Lilith and Angela Pleasant (Discover University). In the bottle named “A Wish of Adventure”, a man talks about his life when he was young in Senbamachi, Mt. Komorebi. It doesn’t specify who wrote it, so my guess is Shigeru Nishidake (Snowy Escape). In the bottled named “The Little Genius”, it’s Elsa Bjergsen talking about how far bottled messages can reach (Get Together). In the bottle named “A Thousand Leaves”, it’s someone talking about their husband changing ever since they moved to Mt. Komorebi. It’s signed by J, so my guess is Jenna Akiyama (Snowy Escape). There’s another bottle named “A Love Poem” but I have no idea who it’s signed by.
Also, Wolfgang Wilder can be Included among these (Werewolves), as a Sim who finds His Message in a Bottle, will Discover about his Hobby of Moongazing and wishing for a Personal Change, one that of course came true (He became a Werewolf because he Wanted to)
The first time I had a bear night I thought for a minute that it was a less direct way of saying gay night ('cause you know, bears) until sims ACTUALLY showed up in bear costumes. I was very confused 😂
If kids fight, the parenthood pack makes their parents upset. They try to break up the fight. This happens if your vampire teens spar - even though this is a friendly interaction.
I love these videos! One cross pack feature I’ve found is that if you have Cottage Living and Seasons, and you have a holiday tradition to “hunt for eggs”, you can also find eggs that chickens lay as well. Not sure if it works if you don’t have a chicken coop, but still cool!
With the Paranormal Stuff pack, if you appease the Specters, they will sometimes drop a drink called a "Specter Sip." This drink gives you a few points in a random skill. I've had it give me Pipe organ, Bowling, Knitting, and even the vet skill.
Sometimes it's the little stuff that counts, for example with both Cottage Living and Seasons honey can be used as a substitute for cowplant berry jam when crafting the golden treat. Also, some recipes say "any meat" or "any red meat" with the Simple Living lot challenge (examples include City Living recipes, or the Protein Platter your sim can make when energized), and the meat werewolfs can get from hunting counts. Not to mention that meat wall from Eco Lifestyle that produces those meat cubes. Again, usable as meat (and apparently as a veggie), but both that and soy from that pack can be used to make meat substitute jars in Cottage Living. I know I mentioned 3 seperate things with Cottage Living, but I use all 3 of those on a daily basis (at least the soy part of fact 3). Edit: Only fixed 1 typo in the word "red".
If you have outdoor retreat and parenthood kids can go through a bear phase where they only want to wear the bear costume and will be sad when not in it
I always thought the maschino stuff pack was one I would never get because I don’t care about the fashion but I ended up getting it on sale because of the photography. The pet photos ended up pretty cute. I’ve got a couple who are engaged so I’m excited to have official wedding portraits now.
Cross pack feature: If you have Get Togheter and Little Campers installed and you play "Don't wake the llama" on the game table from this kit the llama will turn into a yeti and your sims will get an inspired +1 moodlet.
The bear night at bars explains that one time my sim was at a bar and I had no idea why a bunch of random sims came in wearing the bear costume I thought my game was just being goofy 💀
The Incinerate spell can save the life of a freezing Sim. Be careful when kicking those gnomes. Yes, you may get some valuable item, but, you'll also incur their «displeasure». Things will tend to get uneasy for that Sim for the rest of the day.
A workaround is to kick ALL the gnomes on the lot so there aren't any left to get mad. Reminds me of that post about the two different kinds of stealth games: "either there's no bodies to alert the guards or there's no guards left to notice the bodies".
Cats will eat the chicken feed too, Abi -- source being me seeing my Sims new cat doing just that. I also think it has junk particles when they play in it as it counts as trash, annoyingly enough. The shot of the dogs all going on a hike with their owners was adorable, though. :)
@@onlyabidoang Huh! Well, that particular cat, Kelly, was a stray my Sims adopted, and she DOES have the Mischievous trait. Also Free Spirit and Frisky. *shrug*
Thank you so much for this! I'm surprised that there really is this much cross-compatibility. Maybe I just don't notice it, since a lot of it is more subtle, but it's cool to know that some attention was paid to it.
i love little details like these. especially cross-pack features/details, cause it makes the packs feel like they actually have more of an affect on your gameplay, (even if they’re smaller). even the smallest details can make a difference. i really like that they’ve been adding more neat things like that lately. it shows that they actually are starting to listen to the community more.
Wait wait wait hold up... You mean all this time when painting and my Sims reached emotional mindness when I wanted them to be inspired I could have just CHOSEN A DIFFERENT EMOTION???? I SPEND AGES TRYING TO SNAP THEM OUT OF IT!!!
these are so clever, i never even paid much attention and just took them for granted! no matter how people criticize it, you still have to admit the sims 4 is still a great game with a lot of details
Well, the acting research topic fact surprised me. There really isn't more cross-pack skills than that. And every skill also can't be contributed or written a research paper on. This truly blew my mind... So I can only add... Speaking of snow, bikes also leave their track prints in the snow, but it won't stay for a long time like foot/paw prints do. The initial eco footprint depends on the buildings already there. Let's say I tear down the Del Sol Valley buildings before installing Eco Lifestyle. Then its eco footprint isn't towards industrial. Speaking of werewolf tunnels, apparently vampires can navigate them too as they can see in the dark. And finally, there are sharks in Britechester. Sims can encounter them in every neighborhood except Gibbs Hill and may even get pulled underwater and drown in Foxbury Institute's lake.
Oh yeah regarding the initial eco footprint, on areas where I mentioned that it's slightly to the green/industrial footprint, in some lots, the meter is actually already filled a bit at the very first visit (no footage for it in the video), but not enough for them to change its eco state as a whole so they remain neuttal. Some of them are even progressing to the opposite side since, like you said, building material affects eco footprint progression. And thank you for the new insights as well! I never knew some of them
Once I was exploring the Moonwood Mill's tunnels and suddenly got teleported to Forgotten Hollow, right to that toilet in the park. I don't know how. I've tried a lot of different combinations of options in the tunnels but couldn't repeat it. Still wondering what even was that and how to do that again??
Do you know what pack her dress is from? I tried making Pepa in Sims and gave her the Jungle Adventure top with short sleeves and flowers at the neck and the basegame full midi skirt, both in yellow. But the dress Abi has her wearing looks really cute and I want it for other Sims I make.
I've had it happen with the On Dark Ley Line lot trait and a spellcaster parent. I had to remove one of the occults from her to make her function properly
@@rolandbaldwin I once had a mermaid give birth to a mermaid-alien hybrid (was slightly broken, couldn't edit the mermaid form and the alien form kept changing colours if they aged up or I entered CAS with them still in human form), that hybrid had a child which I cheated to go from half-alien mermaid to another hybrid, and when THAT hybrid had a child with a spellcaster, they had twins, 1 was a spellcaster, 1 was already a hybrid, they were literally identical twins (the only differences between them were the hairstyle and the teeth, edited both in cas). The weirdest part about this is that this way I had a female non-alien sim give birth to an alien with the powers.
Lmao I just watched the sims premium content videos for sims 3, and was shocked when I came to your page from that vid (looking for a part three actually) to see I watch and know your vids lmao
The Sims hiking through the snow with multiple dogs reminds me of Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. He had multiple dogs of various breeds that he tried to use to steer his sled.
So, the singing skill is both boosted by being a mermaid (see your previous video) as well has reaching level 4 business career (see this video). How interesting. I love these hidden features.
Woohoo skill is from MCCC. And the banned mod is not the wicked whims mod. Devs don't hate the mod. It's even an easter egg in the laundry day items description.
When it comes to occults being immune to death by temperatures, once my mermaid literally died of freezing while she even had the immune to cold trait. I hope this is solved by now
Does the oddly colored panda costume in City Living scare bees, give the honey moodlet, and count towards Get Together "bear nights"? I don't have Seasons or Get Together yet so I can't check myself, but it looks like it's just a bunch of recolors of the panda swatch of the Outdoor Retreat bear costume so I'd be surprised if it didn't.
one time i had my sim dry her clothes on a line and it rained so long that the clothes never dried so i deleted all the laundry items. i was trying to do an off the grid type thing and didn't want to give in to a washer and dryer
Oddly enough, Journey to Batuu seems to do nothing with other packs. No special things for aliens or spellcasters, no special lightsaber crystals, can't use lightsaber to cut a path through the jungle, And it does not even do anything for the geek trait.
Hey I have a question if you have both parenthood and laundry day can you use the laundry basket item from parenthood for laundry (Also I wish if you had a big dog you use them as like a sled dog in snowy escape Ik it's more Alaskan but idc)
5:17 a tip for the broken dumpster items! don't move them into the overworld and as long as you keep them in your family inventory you can sell them straight from there for the regular price (not the "broken" price)
EA didn't think much about the animal footprints on number 70, did they? bunnies don't actually have paw pads, so they wouldn't leave paw looking footprints
