Changes with the teen update

Post by Palmjill »

1. Preteens now go to Elementary School. The new high school will be located behind the old school.

2. Bro Hug between good friends now take only 3s instead of 4s and the sim movements are different.

Do we have to build another school?
I think, therefore, I Sim! (Or I did before they told me to "harvest" them)

Yes we do but we need to complete the higher education quest first.

3. Your away sim now counts in the town total even when away visiting.

Re. no. 3, Oh, that's bad news, Palmjill. I was counting on that workaround. :|

No.4. Another change is that hair and clothes options are cut back a lot in wardrobe, salon and boutique. Your sims keep the items that are now lost if they had them at the time of the update, but beware: if you change them, you won't get those things back again :shock:

(I like being 'a newborn sim' by the way. Clever Perturbee :D)

5. Big change with the regular goals
You are now given a week to complete a bunch of regular goals to earn a key. Collect keys to spend in the mystery box shop (yup one more currency).
The initial goals so far give only Simoleons, and as far as I can see only the later goals for the week will yield any LPs.
Rewards for hobbies remain unchanged.

Less hairstyle options?! Another currency?! I don't like the sound of that.

7. Another downer. Practising on promotional items eg. Painting, firefighting, cloud watching has been increased to 3 hours! I don't know if it gives the same increase in job experience though (as the previous 1 hour). It's going to take much longer to do the promotional items at your neighbours, can't be done in a day now :(

Feeling a bit depressed. Having a three hour option might have been nice, but not if the one hour option is gone. :(
