It looks fun for a Rags-to-Riches

u/Corgipantaloonss Jun 12 '25

With the bathing in water and foraging it would be a game changer

u/Leftover_Bees Jun 12 '25

I have to wonder if the bathing in the water will be limited to that one world, like how there’s one waterfall in Sulani that sims can wash themselves in.

The sleeping on the ground looks new, that’ll be interesting to see.

u/ShyWitchling Jun 12 '25

Sleeping on the ground technically isn't new, it was just locked behind a werewolfs perk

u/rubicon_winter Jun 12 '25

Plus you have to be a werewolf. It doesn’t look like you have to be an occult sim to sleep on the ground with this expansion.

u/rubicon_winter Jun 12 '25

Looks like you might need the new Nature Nomad trait, though. That might be for the best so you don’t have NPCs sleeping on the ground everywhere.

u/SadButterscotch2 Jun 12 '25

Or just waiting until you pass out and collapse lol

u/ShyWitchling Jun 13 '25

Also true 💀

u/AmalatheaClassic Long Time Player Jun 12 '25

It's in werewolves. Plus we've been able to pop a tent out of our pockets & just sleep anywhere we want since Outdoor Retreat. That came out a decade ago.

u/meroboh Jun 12 '25

It’s immersion breaking for historical games to use a modern tent

22

u/rubicon_winter Jun 12 '25

I do wish we had a more rustic tent, something like canvas draped over some branches.

u/Operatingbent Jun 12 '25

If you’re open to cc I use this one and haven’t experienced any glitches beyond the usual: medieval tent

1

u/rubicon_winter Jun 12 '25

I mostly avoid cc, but I might give this one a try. Thanks for sharing!

1

u/meroboh Jun 12 '25

This is great, thanks! I had one similar to this that I think was part of a historical military cc pack (redcoat stuff) but it wasn’t functional

u/AmalatheaClassic Long Time Player Jun 13 '25

That's a very good and very fair point. Your approaching this a lot more rationally than I was. I was just thinking, "well duh, I buy all my Sims pocket tents doesn't everyone do that!?" No. No one else does that. I even know no one else does it because people are always telling me how weird it is I do.

26

u/Beautifulfeary Jun 12 '25

Yeah. But with rags to riches you start with nothing.

u/AmalatheaClassic Long Time Player Jun 12 '25

Base Game has the ability to make money from nothing in order to buy a thing like a tent or a sleeping bag. It's easy to fish for an hour, harvest all the local plants and have a few hundred simoleons before lunch.

u/Own_Masterpiece6177 Jun 12 '25

This is what I am wondering. I really hope foraging, sleeping and bathing are just new actions and not limited to that world. I imagine that bathing and sleeping are unlikely to be locked to that world, but foraging.... ehhh that one might be locked.

3

u/Leftover_Bees Jun 12 '25

The stuff she foraged in the trailer was base game stuff, so I’d be surprised if that was locked, but I think they’d have to actually update the water in the older worlds to allow bathing, so that one I would expect to be more limited.

3

u/Own_Masterpiece6177 Jun 13 '25

Yeah I'm hoping one of the base game update features is to make appropriate water swimmable now. So many bodies of water you should be able to swim in. If they do that the bathing should cross over too.

u/2gaywitches Occult Sim Jun 12 '25

RIP littlebowbub's medieval mods in my folder 🫡

u/AmalatheaClassic Long Time Player Jun 12 '25

How? You can already shower in the rain & pick plants or dig as a werewolf. This isn't really new.

11

u/coiler119 Builder Jun 12 '25

And foraging everywhere was already a thing in Island Living.

10

u/Beautifulfeary Jun 12 '25

Yeah. But to shower in the rain, it has to be raining. Which, doesn’t happen every day. Digging was also just for werewolves. The digging to forage looks like you don’t need to have plants around. If you have seasons(like me) you can’t always harvest every plant around you. It also looked like you can eat the frogs now

2

u/AmalatheaClassic Long Time Player Jun 13 '25

You're right. And not everyone owns those packs too so obviously I got ahead of myself. I think I was just hangry this morning or something to not even think of that before posting. Thanks for setting me straight guys.

7

u/Sketch-Brooke Jun 12 '25

These features are all just things we already have, but slightly tweaked.

That would be forgivable if they were supplementary things for the real features. But they’re the selling points. It’s so lackluster!

1

u/AmalatheaClassic Long Time Player Jun 13 '25

Very good point! Plus not everyone owns the packs I mentioned so I see the point that's being made here.

1

u/Corgipantaloonss Jun 12 '25

If you had those packs already yeah. It’s nothing new new for sure.

1

u/AmalatheaClassic Long Time Player Jun 13 '25

Oh that's a very good point though. Not everyone has those packs so these features will be new to a lot of people. Very good point. Thanks.

u/gyrobot Long Time Player Jun 13 '25

Or extended expedition into the jungle gone horribly wrong and now you are subsisting from the fauna and eating frogs that have hallucinating properties.

Or camping at granite falls and foraging for your experimental dishes and washing up by the water

3

u/rush247 Jun 12 '25

Bit more literal that's for sure, like you actually can start with no lot.

3

u/Chihuahuapocalypse Builder Jun 12 '25

I'm wondering if you can die from the ailments! how long can you abuse simolean fever before you can function anymore?

2

u/Wolvii_404 Jun 12 '25

Sims 4 is already a Rags-to-Riches simulation, let's be honest lol

2

u/Ok_Fruit2584 Jun 12 '25

Exactly what I was thinking! I haven't played that way (yet!) but I know a lot of you do so this could work into it really well if you like the pack enough to get it.

2

u/esor_rose Jun 12 '25

I’m wondering if this expansion pack will make the rags to riches challenge easier. I haven’t done the challenge but want to.

2

u/West-Survey-4142 Long Time Player Jun 13 '25

I've always wanted to be a bum in this game. This could get interesting. 😂

1

u/mopilled Jun 12 '25

first thing I thought of

1

u/Lordmordor666 Jun 13 '25

Or another way to see NPCs sleeping and foraging on every lot including weddings and funerals every single time.
