I know it's been a while, my bad! I left pretty frustrated with the Sims 4. I don't know which update for Businesses and Hobbies essentially broke retail shops for me (and one of Bug Squad's storylines involves Spider renovating his flower shop), the dreaded weather inside bug, and a few others, I just didn't want to bother with it. It made me extra worried that I'd potentially corrupt my main saves and if you don't know, I'm deadly paranoid about corrupted saves (click link for the lore) from my Sims 3 days, so I took some time off. Seriously, if I lost Bug Squad's save, I'd probably quit the Sims for good. Today, they dropped a laundry list that should hopefully make things better for a good chunk of the bugs I currently have, so I'm tentatively waiting to continue their stories. In the meanwhile, I've been play testing with these Sims:
Meet Calypso and Calliope, they're my first in-game twins from my very first sims 4 save file. Technically, they're still kids, but I moved them to a fresh save and aged them up to playtest retail shops and small businesses (I wanted to compare as well as see what the issues I noticed with Spider's shop were).
Calypso (Purple) owns a retail bakery shop that sells bread and Calliope (Yellow) owns a small business that sells cakes and other sweet treats. I wanted to do a write-up about how each of them plays, but between employees resetting in small businesses, employees not doing tasks in retail, not being able to buy advertisement in retail, and other bugs, it wasn't a noteworthy endeavor. Luckily my employees shouldn't reset now in Calliope's shop, but retail from Get to Work just feels incredibly broken as of late.
I'm ready to get back to Bug Squad, so here's to hoping the next patch helps. Happy simming!
