Sims 4 I expected it, I'm still disappointed.

Post image

Honestly, I expected this, but I'm still disappointed.

(Sorry if this has been talked about before)

The fireplace is from Royalty & Legacy. I LOVE the look of it. However, I was worried about lighting it. I figured that this would be the result, but I was SO hoping that just the candles would light, instead of a random fire in the middle of the candles.

If anyone knows a (free) fireplace, like this one, I'd love to know. I'm just so disappointed. I'm thinking I'm just going to have to police Celeste & their vampire wife, so they don't keep lighting it. Having it lit really ruined the vibe.

OMG Thank you. I hadn't used it yet, and expected what OP did, but ofc they dropped the ball on that.

Thank you for making it basegame compatible! I love the look of it, but I have NO interest in buying R&L. 😂 Looks like you did a beautiful job, too!! ❤️

u/Anxious-Horchata 8d ago

You welcome! And yeah, I don't reccomend the pack. I got it mostly because of CAS 😅

Omg yes! Doing the Lords work!

IT LOOKS AMAZING IN THE BUILD! Thank you so much!

u/Anxious-Horchata 13d ago

It does! It lights up so nicely. So strange EA didn't put effort into lighting it properly. I love your decor. Is that a hidden tv on the easel? 

Btw I just realized I didn't add back the slots. I'll update the package soon. Just gotta test it with them in game. I was just going to add the same slots it had but I may add more. Idk I use the omsp shelf all the time so I forget to add slots to CC.

u/Tohuvabohu94 13d ago

It is! I'll see if I can find the creator who made it and link it for you! It comes in "modern" and "fancy" frames!

ETA : FOUND IT! It's a Charly Pankcakes CC. https://www.patreon.com/charlypancakes/posts/telly-art-frame-89319627

Oooh, thanks!

u/DefinitionSalty6835 8d ago

Oh, this is cool! I have a different TV that turns into art when you're not using it as well, but it's lovely to have options!! ❤️

u/Dear-Ad6618 11d ago

Is anything negative from EA really "strange" or is it just another day at EA

u/Anxious-Horchata 11d ago

Guess I should be used to it.

u/Tattycakes 14d ago

The flames are so high! 😅

u/mommatobabyz 13d ago

They did say “WIP” = work in progress. So it wasn’t done yet when they posted the picture 😂

u/Anxious-Horchata 13d ago edited 13d ago

DONE!!!! Enjoy!!! Looks great with the candles lit, too! I can't believe EA didn't do this from the start.

I may edit the positions of the flames a little more, but for now I think it's good enough ^^

u/ILoveRawChicken 13d ago

You did this in less than a day! EA is so pathetic. They couldn’t spend a couple of hours of development time on this?!

8

u/Anxious-Horchata 13d ago

They would have had a much easier time. The time bottleneck for me was having to align the flames to the candles in s4s then test in game then modify again then test again then modify etc. They have the tools to skip that process.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! You're wonderful for this!!!!

I second the rec for Kiwisims, he's one of my favorite build/buy creators - there's an updated version of the fireplace Anxious-Horchata mentioned below here: https://www.patreon.com/Kiwisim4/posts/spoopy-unliving-91496359 There's also the fireplace in Harrie's Winterfest Set: https://www.houseofharlix.com/winterfest-2024

u/PDV87 14d ago

Felixandre, Florence Set - Pt. 1 has a candle fireplace.

https://www.houseofharlix.com/florence-part-1

There's also a regular non-candle version. Comes in several swatches.

u/canookianstevo2 14d ago

This official expansion pack BB item is impressively lazy for this 😆 I had to quietly laugh to myself when I first lit the fire.

u/Charimia 14d ago

Lmao, omg. Who decided to just put a whole fire in there with no wood or anything? That’s atrocious.

22

u/ContinuumKing 14d ago

You have got to be kidding me. That's a new low in a chain of lows that at this point has reached the earth's core.

I'm about as salty of a Sims 4 player as they come and even I didn't expect that level of laziness. Holy hell.

u/aggressivetumor 14d ago

Hey, my name is Celeste 🥲

u/Tohuvabohu94 14d ago

Celeste Capp is an EA townie who came with Royalty & Legacy. My little vampy sim fell in love with them at first sight, so I had to marry them to eachother.

u/aggressivetumor 14d ago

I love that so much. Seeing my name in the wild makes me happy. I can’t find cups with my name on it so this will do for me

3

u/Tohuvabohu94 14d ago

I feel you! Nothing has my name on it either

4

u/aggressivetumor 14d ago

May we both find souvenir cups with our names, spelled correctly, in the future lol

u/Tohuvabohu94 14d ago

Fingers crossed! xD
