Ugh, I was so excited to actually play and just mess around with GTW after making Lena but I just feel so meh about it so far. I keep coming across things that frustrate me

  • You can’t place photos on a surface, they have to be on the wall (I wanted them to automatically go into a little frame or something on a counter rather than always having to be on a wall)
  • You can’t take selfies with the cameras, only the phone (as far as I know)
  • You can only take photos of 2 people, not more (no family photos?? really?)
  • You can only take photos of adults with adults or kids with kids (again, no family photos)
  • No frame options, only thick black
  • You can change the filter effects on photos after you’ve taken them (which isn’t really a negative I just see it as pointless. Why bother taking multiple photos with different filters if you can just change it later anyway?)

I dunno, maybe I’m just not in the proper mindset to be playing TS4 right now and the negatives are just glaring me in the face because of it but I’m just feeling disappointed and meh with it right now. Saying that, I haven’t tried any of the active careers or properly messed about with aliens or anything so maybe that’s better.

Ok I’m pretty fucking disappointed there isn’t any new aspirations/traits. What the fuck?

Same.. I was really hoping there would be, especially with such a big change – I mean, they really couldve added a few. -_-

I mean, there’s so many obvious things they could’ve done. I can’t believe they didn’t even add 1 new aspiration or a couple of traits to go along with the new careers. I’m so confused??? I know they added a lot but aspirations/traits are seriously lacking and expansions have always improved on that… Unless they’re planning on only adding new aspirations/traits in game packs which would be highly disappointing tbh :///

This is so awesome to watch. 

Sixam looks beautiful. And I love that the aliens voices are so high-pitched.

I love that you can transfer funds from your household to your store and vice versa. 

THE PHOTOGRAPHY SKILL IS SO COOL. NOW WE CAN ACTUALLY TAKE THE SELFIES. Holy shit the level 1 photos – they’re all blurry haha! THE GNOME!! That’s fucking hilarious.

Now that we’re able to set poses for mannequins, do you think it’ll be easier for pose makers to implement poses in-game for sims rather than replacing interactions? That would be so great.
