I’ve not played the latest Sims games, but I’m sure like a lot of you I played and enjoyed the originals a lot back in the day. Much like CK2 last week I’m sure it’s only free so they can tempt you into buying lots of expansions, but the base game itself looks alright. Anyone played this one enough to offer any insight?
I suggest applying Paradox logic to the dlc: buy what you like, pirate the rest.
Tbh I’d suggest pirating the whole thing if you plan to do any modding though. Updates happen randomly and consistently break mods. The only way to stop updates is to have a pirated copy.
If you’re looking for mods though, the Sims 4 probably has some of the best mods in the entire series with Sacrificial’s mods. There are also really good furry mods if you want animal-people in your game, and one of them is actually kinda recommended for the official werewolf dlc. You can use it to give the werewolves actual tails instead of the little nubs they have by default.
I don’t understand why they made werewolves into anthro wolves but didn’t give them tails. I guess they’d be too furry if they had tails.
Are tails important in the furry community?
Yes and no, it depends on the species. Not all fursonas/OCs have tails because not all animals have them (like frogs). However most people like having tails on their fursonas. It’s another part of the character that you can customize, design around (see furgonomics), or use in communication (like someone with a dog 'sona wagging their tail).
There are also euphemisms and innuendo related to tails, though I’ll spare you the spicy details unless you really want to know.
Personally I like tails on anthro characters, especially if they’re digitigrade because to me they either look front-heavy or just look… odd… without them. When you’re used to seeing dogs and cats with tails, it looks weird when they suddenly don’t have them.
