I just have all these packs because for one I make CC using existing EA meshes, and two I have bought them over the years. Give it a few years, eventually you will have most or all of them. Just save up your money and when you have money to spare, go ahead and buy the ones you want most. I recommend though before buying any Sims 4 pack to watch some reviews on YouTube by well known YouTube Simmers. And look at it from your view to see if that is something you would use. Yeah for CC creators it obviously makes sense! (hope you didn't feel like you had to explain yourself haha) I only had the base game until a few months ago and then when I got a new job I finally bought some packs when they was a sale and I read so much about all of them before that cause I was afraid of spending money on the wrong ones :D it definitely depends on how you like to play, I for example am not much of a family player, so packs like Parenthood that many people love is not really something I desperately need (I bought Seasons obviously, GTW, CL, C&D and Vampires... it's really not many but at least I'm happy with the choices so far. Saving up for RoM already! And still really want Island Living too..) I Didn't feel like I had to explain myself, but I feel bad when I see people saying they don't have any Packs because they don't have the money and I have nearly all of them. XD They have a right to enjoy these packs as much as I do, but money is always an issue when it comes to this type of stuff. (-w-)"

Lack of Matching Swatches for Build/Buy Not being able to match/coordinate furniture, Walls floor ect unless they're part of the same set frustrates me so much!

Lack of customizing swatches for build buy is a good one. I love some color swatches on some items and the shapes of others. would be nice to mix and match more.
I'd really like baby to teen ages to be overhauled. I'd like to see more emphasis on the gradual changes that happen from baby to teen. The baby doesn't just go from newborn to 4 year old and 4 year old to 10 year old and 10 to mini adult that's 18. The teen to elder is fine because there's a little less drastic changes that happen. I'd also like to see more detailed schooling.
Pretty much would love for them to make all the rabbit hole schooling and working holes into things like the jobs that came after get to work. Where you can have an option of working from home or you can go with them to a place and do a set of actions for a grade or job increase.
I'd also love the ability to draw my own roof shapes.

If there's a routing issue with a sim or they can't use an object because something is in the way, I wish the game would actually tell you what's wrong instead of the sim just waving their hands in the air. I cannot count the amount of times I've made a build and everything appears to be fine, but my sims won't use half the things on the lot because there's supposedly an issue, even if the object or stairs in question fit perfectly fine even with bb.moveobjects off.

And I found a new one I can complain about. (-w-)" Seems the issue with the Kids' Haircolors is still a thing, is EA just unaware of this issue or do they just not care? Kids' Haircolors sometimes screw up in CAS, like for example I could be testing colors to see which color goes best with a child sim's features, but the swatch will get stuck on one of the colors sometimes no matter how many times I click a different color and it shows as selected. The color will also sometimes screw up and change by the time I go into another outfit slot for them, then I have to change it back again and check all the outfit slots to make sure they have the right hair color in all of them. It is a lot of aggravating work... Has anyone else also had this issue? I love making child sims sometimes, but this little bug makes me hesitant to even bother with creating a child sim when making my own households to fill up the world.

It's a know issue, especially with occult children. I've had an open ticket on their forums for almost a year now about it and haven't received any sort of fix or any sign of them entertaining a fix.

I'd officially like to add the spell caster occult eyes not working properly and alien children sims hair not working properly. Both have the same problem... but with hair you chose a hair color and it'll be any color other than the one you chose and with spell caster eyes if you choose occult eyes it picks a random human eye color. Clicking during either of these scenarios will result in a random color too. You could click black eyes 12 times and get any color other than the one you chose... same for the hair...you can pick the style all day long, but actual hair color is a gamble. red could be anything other than red. These all happen with no cc no mods, fresh install, fresh windows install with update graphic drivers and a brand new game.
Hair's been going on for a year now and eyes since ROM dropped. Disappointed in their willingness to help their consumers.

Last update seems to of broken the real time animation when editing roof shapes and sizes... I went to play it recently and low and behold another damn update to ruin my day. It is pretty bad when a game company updates their game that their costumers instead of rejoicing about possible new features, they instead sit here mother f*ing the game and being worried about what will break next... Seriously EA, get your poo together or just stop with the game breaking rushed updates and actually test everything before releasing the update to your users. Honestly...
I love Sim 4 and it is one of my favorites in the franchise, but I am sick of the updates breaking everything and them not testing their game updates fully before releasing them and forcing you to download their stupid updates. It would be nice if updates where optional, because in my opinion even though they still haven't fixed the hair problem, the game was actually fine before this recent update.

Updates can be optional by going "offline" in origin and disabling the auto-update setting. Anyway, no game is perfect and little glitches happen. To minimize the amount of errors and stuff breaking, I've decided not to use CC in my main save. The save where I build houses and stuff. But again, the game is not perfect. At least they fixed the columns quickly (that was a big yikes).

At least they fixed the columns quickly (that was a big yikes). Yeah I think I remember the columns problem. Was it that when you placed a column it would not match the wall size and usually would be much shorter than it was suppose to? When I had that issue I noticed it when I was trying to build Italian Style buildings and I was pretty confused. I wasn't sure how to work around it other than just double stack columns. Also CC can't break your game by the way, Mods can though if they are outdated since they usually mess with the scripting and what not. But CC doesn't need to be updated and will not break your game, they are nothing more than addable items. Basically the same as EA's CAS and Build/Buy only made by the community.

I‘m sorry to disappoint you dear, but CC can of course break if EA/axis change the codes. And that happened allot to Simmers. I once had a simple living chair blanket created from a rug mesh for some years, and one day after a patch my game wouldn’t load up anymore ending up with an error code. So I had to find out what was causing this. Ended up being the chair blanket. EA/axis changed the rug code and so the blanket was broken. I was able to fix it myself, but CC has to be updated then also by their creators. So your information here about „CC can’t break“ is not correct. I never had any CC break my game, I have had mods break it though when they where outdated. So I guess until my CC actually breaks my game I will just sum it up to some CC has the complicity to break your game, but not all. I use too much CC to be honest, yet my game never broke from it and typically has broke from outdated mods.

When I left my comment about CC, I was referring to mods. It's all custom content so CC includes the game-breaking script mods. With that said, there are some objects and CAS items that can affect the game. Sometimes there isn't a mesh so the item is invisible, game updates can cause script errors, and certain CC will prevent the game from starting. So it does happen. Any kind of CC can potentially break the game. Problems with script mods are a lot more common though, because those scripts break super easily. Oh, and some CC items can simply slow down your game, which is another reason why I stopped using them.
As for the columns, they wouldn't automatically match the wall height. Which is definitely something EA had to fix right away. Sometimes their patches break their own game mechanics, as well as our CC (including mods). :')

Well, just because you never had a CC breaking your game doesn‘t mean that CC can‘t break it when there is plenty of proof out there that it can. No offense, but my point was that you spread false information in a public forum on this matter. It is not a false rumor if I was unaware of the fact that CC can break games. I never had any CC break my game, thus I wouldn't know that it could because I never had it break my game. You say no offense, but you are being quite rude in the way you are approaching this.

Hi guys, just stepping in briefly because I think our language barrier is causing a bit of confusion about motivation. I know no one here is trying to be rude or deliberately uninformative, but misinterpretation of communication has caused a bit of upsetness. No one is trying to spread false rumors and no one is trying to be offensive. Given that, I hope this line of back and forth ends here. Honest mistake, honest correction - done. I'd like to keep this thread open as people have been enjoying it for months.
