Yeah but is not all the sims who know how to fix stuff.. At least it shouldnt be, and for those who cant fix there should be a repair man..
I think the only service you can hire is pizza and maid.

You can’t hire a repair man, but you can still repair items yourself. They didn’t take that out.

The first two days, with Ryan, were quite good with seemingly only minor hiccups. But days three and four convinced me that Twitch was absolutely the wrong place to host the livestream. It just distracted the Gurus away from actually playing the game. the second two livestreams would have been more better if they had started with a simple idea, like the party on day 3, and just worked from there. Instead we got two days devoted to romantic interactions, nearly 20 minutes spent trying to kill one Sim, one stage of the cow plant and a last minute baby. Sure, we learned some new things, but we would have learned so much more if the Gurus hadn’t had to deal with Twitch.

Sorry about the block of text.

Indeed, for example, on day 3 the Goth’s toilet broke. They could have had somebody repair it, which, from what I’ve heard, generates a scrap pile that can be used to upgrade items, but instead the kept on failing at romance.

It also probably didn’t help that all the Sims they’ve used so far had very low skills lvls, if any.

“Exploring Emotions” as you call it, isn’t supposed to “hold your interest.” It’s supposed to add to the gameplay & impact how your Sims interact, both with their world & with each other, that’s it.

Nobody expects to spend the next 5 years “Exploring Emotions”
Because we all know it’s not going to take anywhere near that long to figure them out.
Fortunately, the rest of the Game is still a The Sims Game.

Also you’re Sims aren’t “trapped at home” there’s plenty to do, including exploring the world outside the lots, interacting with townies, yes going to venues & other community lots, and nearly everything else that you’d expect your Sims themselves to be able to do in a Base Game.

Also it likely seemed tedious because most of them were focusing entirely on 2 or 3 of the things the people commenting on their live-streams wanted them to do, and were completely ignoring the rest of what the game had to offer.
