Oh yeah, definitely looking forward to these for sure!
Day/Night sensor it’s been a long time coming.
I’m definitely gonna use the Graphic Profile I admit am excited to see it.
Getting copies of those milestone will certainly spice things up!

OMG THE GOODEST OF BOIS

It’s nice to see something for condo pets.
I feel like it’s a long shot, but would such a following system work for equippable pets as well?

Are the new pot models replacements for the old ones? I certainly hope not since i like to use the existing pots for a lot of things, such as knobs on my vinyl record player, and the stove top of my oven.

I really wish that new replacement models were able to be changed through legacy options in the edit menu, I get really annoyed when things get changed and you can’t change them back.

Also, for compatibility reasons, it’d be nice if saves from before an update with a new model would turn legacy mode on by default, that way we don’t have to go back and fix our stuff.

I’m so proud of Kalarry for getting her own store :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m glad to see the couch in Suite can finally be disabled! Hopefully highrise also gets some attention, I’ve pointed out issues with it in the nitpick thread and also my own suggestion thread.
