I HAVE A NEW LAPTOP =D

And it's a PC!!! Unfortunately my old mac (that is not even that old btw) died on me (while i was playing the Sims -_-) so i lost everything i had saved for my future new laptop. That i wasn't supposed to get that fast but hey. I cannot live or work without a laptop so.... Now i'm broke as fuck and will be for the next few months (years???) because my job barely brings enough money to get by in the first place, and now i am in deep debts due to buying a new laptop. But i did get a +1500€ laptop for just over 1000€ so i'm still winning right !!!!! (right???) So, since i can't afford to do anything anymore, my plan is to stay home play the Sims to forget i can't even eat 3 meals a day anymore >.<. Work > Sims > Sleep is my new routine from now on. SO

I have reinstalled all the packs i have on the new laptop. I'm struggling a lot because it's a lot different than Mac lol. BUUUUT I CAN HAVE MODS !!!!!!! What are your favourite ones? Anyone know of a mod to help with the glitches with Dine Out? Or a mod that keeps them all together at the table when trying to have a family dinner?? lol What i have so far :

MCCC

Don't Wash Your Dishes where you Angry Poop

TOOL

NoBlue + NoGlo

No Mosaic

Better Computer Games

Faster Gardening

More CAS Column

UI Cheats Extension (not sure how to use that one yet)

+ a bunch of new traits, career and stuff from KiaraSimsMods

Mostly looking for mods helping with existing gameplay for now. I have saved a couple such as Road to Romance and LGBT Mod that i had tried on my old Mac but they didn't work well so i will try again once i get the hang of it all with this computer.

I have started playing yet, i've been working on a no-CC base save with my builds i've done already + a few from my fav creators, so that whenever i want to start a new game i just copy that one save and go from there, instead of starting all over again all the time. Hopefully i finish that soon and can start playing!!!!

“Mandatory Mods”

So I’m watching the Devstream and Scott mentioned the Braton’s stats leveling up as an example of a way to get rid of mandatory mods, like Serration. Now, I don’t know how far they intend to take this, but I’ve had that idea for a while now. As you become more skilled with the weapon(rank it up), I honestly think that it’s stats should grow. For example, By rank 30, it should get a 165% increase to it’s base damage, like having a maxed Serration it. That frees up a slot, gets rid of the biggest “Mandatory Mod”, and makes your weapons actually get better as you rank them up. Not to mention, they could finely tune specific weapons to level certain stats as they rank up. Perhaps even give Formas the capability to increase certain stats as you rank it back up to Rank 30 after Forma-ing it.

As for Multi-shot, make it based on chance. Either it’s a chance that it shoots more rounds, a chance that it consumes ammo, or both. There are plenty of ways to go about it that don’t include nuking the entire mechanic and nerfing it into the ground. Not that increasing ammo consumption would do that, but for a lot of guns it would be incredibly irritating.
