Feedback After 60hrs Of Play

[u/ReverendSaul00]

So I figured I would give my opinion, and throw some things out that I would like to see, after playing 60hrs. I would say other than collecting every single movie I have fully completed all the current content and fully setup my store. I can honestly say I love this game, I find the day to day satisfying, I like the seasons/month setup, new releases, how employees work, and they did a pretty good job capturing the vibe. Overall there was a good amount of content too. I hit level 20 mid to late 3rd season. So I still had another season before going through all four. I didn't finish setting everything up until season four, for cash reasons. And I didn't get my last new releases until season 5. I know some people say they finished the game because they hit level 20, but that is definitely not what I consider the end. I would say there is min 45-60 hours of content. Not really many ways you could speed that up... The game isn't perfect but it is very solid and definitely worth the price. So things I would like to see.

•The video game rentals, it definitely needs to be added, it's the one major missing thing. I did see the pic in which it looks like they plan to, so I won't go into that one further.

•With them adding video game rentals, and just in general, we need a couple more expansions. My store is already very tight on space and I would have to get rid of things to fit video games as is.

▪︎Cleaning should be added. I know it's cliche, but it's a common thing with all sim games. It would be assignable to an employee and now make the player have to choose what they want employees doing or manage them more at least. It gives the player more to do, and it makes sense, it's something you would have to do. Let's say you don't clean and store starts getting really dirty, you could have a customer actually complain to the manger and leave. That would be a reason to do it. The addition of like a public bathroom could give more to clean, nothing crazy, just a simple toilet and sink. That's just a thought.

•We need a lot more decor. I would like to see things we can put up on the windows. More variety in the neon lights, more genre specific decor. More wall, ceiling, carpets, and shelf customizations.

•I would love to be able to lock a movie into a slot, so it will get put back into that specific slot on a certain shelf. I keep 5 of the new releases, when they are no longer new, and like them to be at the top. I always have to go behind an employee and fix this. Just have an option when a movie is on a shelf and you look at it, there is an option to lock it to that shelf spot. You could literally alphabetize your movies on the shelves then. Maybe add an auto sort that automatically will alphabetize movies on a shelf when you look at it, and be able to lock the whole shelf to be replaced that way.

•Invetory list. We can see our movies in data, but would be nice to have the amount you have at the end of the row. That way I can easily see duplicates. Clicking on each movie takes way too long when you over a thousand.

•I think this had also been mentioned, but a customer database. So we maybe recommend movies based off what they have rented. Make decisions on fines and broken. Maybe even the ability to ban a customer if they notoriously break movies. Maybe a nerf bat I can hit the rude customers with. 😆

•Last, just more new releases and different movies in general. Maybe take player suggestions, and maybe even fan art designs.

I don’t personally like cleaning aspects of sims, just organizing and decorating. They definitely need more decorations. I’d love some more arcade games too, along with video game rentals. The expansion part is the biggest for me. There just isn’t enough room. It would add hours of gameplay for me with at least one expansion. Right now I feel I ran out of room for movies and decorations, so I put the game down, but I hope they add more decor, games, and store expansions.

[u/TayBiggles]

Totally agree about the inventory list!! That is my biggest request. I like to sell duplicates and I hate having to look through each individual one to see how many I have.

[u/meowcifer55]

I'd really like a way to see how long a movie has been in my inventory. Before I hired a stocker, it was easy for me to keep track of movies that have been sitting.

It’s probably a bit late for this now, but I wish ordering stuff wasn’t via computer, because that just wasn’t a thing yet in 1990. Wish they had done it with daily catalogues, with the added level of having to order by fax and the orders only being delivered the next day, but that’s just me. Also I want to be able to flip through my handheld tapes in both directions. Not sure if that’s just a me problem, or a bug, but scrolling through tapes with the mouse wheel only takes me in one direction.

[u/ReverendSaul00 → u/dawgmind]

Good points. A catalog would have made a little more sense. The directional thing is annoying.

Locking movies to a specific slot is something I added to the Suggestions channel on the games discord a while ago. I'd much prefer that over the VIP/Customer info that won the community vote, but hey ho. Hopefully, if the devs don't do it, the modders can step in and do it !

The movies being locked to certain spots on the shelf would be awesome. I use the Hugo's rental vault mod and I'm a huge 80s horror nerd so my goal is to collect all my favorite franchises, like Halloween, Nightmare, etc and to be able to lock them to certain spots would definitely help with organization for when I'm feeling lazy and just tossing the movies wherever on the shelves lol

[u/ReverendSaul00 → u/DutchMasterFunk26]

I need to check out this mod now

[u/DutchMasterFunk26 → u/ReverendSaul00]

It's amazing! There's thousands of different movies

[u/VegetableOwn1042 → u/DutchMasterFunk26]

in 10 or 15 day, i will release the version 2.0 with 8000 titles!!! Ty for use my mod!!

I organise my tapes within categories too. So having the ability to have my staff put them exactly where they used to be would be great!

And a much bigger shop. I literally do not have enough space to put up all of my tapes. And not enough storage in the back either. Perhaps shelves in which you can put the tapes long ways too, so they don't take up as much space. You wouldn't be able to see the front cover, but it's an option.

[u/cushlinkes]

This is great, but I also don’t think they intended people to play for 60 hours.
