I worked on Grove Part 3, this time focusing on interior items.
The Set contains 32 items, highlights are the tasseled bed frames, different seating options and handpainted artworks and tiled walls inspired by Portugese Azulejos. You can see everything in the images above but if you want to know more about this set and my inspiration you can find it here
My Wedding Stories is now available for everyone, so I will give it another try. I have a clean Sims 4 folder and created a new save (but I will use some of my gallery sims), let’s see how it goes! Will it work better than last week?
Spoiler : nope.
The day before, I planned my event (I will do it in the same house used in the livestream), filled all the role, baked and selected a cake, and bought flowers. The day of the wedding, no one respects the dress code I chose (everyone is in casual clothes).
I try to make a speech first, using the interaction from the Ceremony Activities menu to gather my guests, but only three of them come (and they talk together instead of listening). The interaction doesn’t interrupt the discussion the other ones have in front of the house.
At last, the sims sit when I ask them too, even if they still play musical chairs, and some decided to dance or do push-ups in the aisle. And once again, they talk together… which is fine for now, but will be a problem later on.
My Flower Pal and Sims of Honor keep talking when I ask them to move down the aisle. At last, my Ring Bearer and my Bride and Groom do what they are told.
The officiant I chose refused to leave her chair when I asked her to perform the ceremony, but at least my sims don’t exchange their rings several times (as they did in the version we had before), and some of the guests react (the others… talk).
The interaction to throw rice at the bride and groom works, as does the bouquet toss, although my sims had trouble finding a location with enough space to do it (you have to choose the sims you want to throw it to, which was easy in my case, as only one came!).
My groom then made a toast, alone, with his back to the guests, too absorbed in their discussion. Even if you use interaction to gather them several times, it doesn’t work, it should have a much higher priority and interrupt the guests.
For some reason, the cake I chose was nowhere to be found, and I could not make it spawn by clicking on an empty table. So I created a new one and the interaction to cut the cake, as well as the one to give a slice to your spouse, works now.
Same thing for the first dance, this time it worked and some guests even watched (which is a small victory). All the objectives were met at that time, but I had to end the event myself hours later (a whole day after it started). No reward, or even notification at the end.
And that’s all. Even if some bugs have been fixed, it’s still too tedious for me, you have to micro-manage everything, and the interactions to do so often don’t work properly. Most of the time, the other sims don’t react to what is happening, it doesn’t feel natural.
I’m not even sure if all these bugs can be fixed: maybe game is simply too limited to handle complex events. Unfortunately I can’t recommend this Gamepack. But if you buy it anyway (maybe for Tartosa, or the new assets), I hope you will enjoy it, sincerely.
PS : This, again. I don’t know what to say at this point.

Frustrated with the awkward color schemes EA provided for the chairs and arches? Me too fam, let’s fix them!
I’ve taken the flower swatches and applied them all to the base dark natural wood tone for the Adorned folding chair. This way they will, hopefully, fit with the arches that came with the pack.
