Base Game Update (Jul 2024) Thoughts

I wasn't sure about the new maxis eyelashes at first, but the base game ones are growing on me a ton. I think I'll use them a bunch in my game

I wish they had made the default eyelashes (the blocky ones on certain presets) removable, since the new eyelashes look strange when combined with the blocky eyelashes

love the new hairstyles and I'm especially excited that they're converted for kids & toddlers. I love the ponytail hair on kids, I think it's so cute and realistic

so many new nail & toenail polishes!

WE'RE FINALLY ABLE TO SET SIMS AS PARTNERS IN CAS!!!

I'm actually so excited about that it might be my favorite part of the whole update, no more using cheats to set up sims to be dating

actually I take it back, the apply all feature is my favorite thing. I've been wanting the ability to duplicate makeup/accessories/etc FOR YEARS this is INCREDIBLE

happy to see the gender neutral language changes

side note: I genuinely didn't know fiancé/financée was gendered, I thought it was just two different spellings like colour and color

the new romantic boundaries system! finally we can have proper polyamorous sims and open relationships

also challenge wise, could be useful for 100 baby challenge if you don't want to deal with jealousy. personally I like to kill off the baby daddies so I don't really encounter any problems there...

I also think it's fun to play around with the new boundaries mechanics even within non-polyamorous or open relationships. like maybe your partner is okay with you flirting with others but not physical intimacy. or a partner who's okay with their partner woohoo-ing with other sims but not anything else. Loads of storytelling potential here.

the new relationship category is super useful! no more digging through the romance pie menus to find the option to start dating!

removing sims from relationship panels! finally, we can de-clutter the relationship panel. I'm most likely going to use this for removing ghost sims in my legacy challenge saves, but I can also see myself using it to remove old baby daddies in 100 baby or even just random sims I've only spoken with once.

hypothetically the date tuning sounds great. In practice, not sure if it will actually work properly. I've yet to see it in affect in the early access footage I've watched (sims still seem to interrupt those on dates).

neighborhood stories with romance and friendship changes is super interesting. I wonder if it just allows sims in the world to make new friends/romance partners or if it also allows for relationship decay and changes. Like Eliza and Bob finally getting a divorce...

Super excited for curved pools! I think it's super realistic and a fun build tool (and hopefully less room for glitches too)

I know there was tearing with the rounded pools in the trailer, but I've yet to see that glitch in early access content, so fingers crossed!

and I think that's everything. overall, super exciting update with tons of things I think I'll get a lot of use out of!
