      From what ive seen a fair amount of the secrets are like inside jokes about the sims game and community, thats the lore aspect Im seeing. I dont really care about giving sims in the game more "backstory" bc I dont ususally play with them, or theyre dead within 3 generations.

      I'm pretty tired of 'lore' and 'gameplay' that is really just more text to read or a new thing to click. NPC roles were implemented OK, but I think the game just stops assigning more roles after the first gen are dead? I'm playing legacy and I'm not sure how to trigger a new Entrepreneur or Eco Master once Bess Sterling and Knox are gone

    Hopefully modders can fix up the secrets, cause they don't really do anything but add random flavor text. It could have been incredible if secrets were affected by what sims do...like if someone cheats on a partner they get some kind of infidelity secret which you can use to REALLY blackmail them, or go and tell their partner.

      I love playing the premade families and rotating around the neighborhood. A big problem with Sims 4 premades is they start with a lack of actual real story to them that match their descriptions. Is it too much to ask for Johnny Zest to at least know his family and have a poor relationship with them? Or Bob and Eliza to have a low relationship/romance? For Summer and Liberty to start with a crush on Travis?
      Sims 2 did this the best and it gave everyone in the neighborhood personality, an actual life, and potential for drama. Even scripted events for those who start the neighborhood to really get things going. It shouldn't have been difficult for the Sims team to give meaningful secrets and relationships to premade sims for those who like playing with them or for players to discover who don't play them. Like, what does "Bob doesn't like his dirty sink" really do and mean? Nothing...

    Can I just say I am a serial modder when it comes to TS4, I need a new mod every fricking week just to keep me engaged because I get bored of TS4 within an hour of playing it (and irritated OMG why are infants so broken??)
    I recently reinstalled TS3 and HOLY COW. I played it for ten hours straight and was disappointed that I had to stop! Proved to me that my preference for TS3 wasn’t just nostalgia. Also only sitting through loading screens when switching between towns was SO refreshing. I also didn’t experience much lag despite the open town, but I have a much better computer than I used to, and I remember it used to be bad.

      If you reread his secret closely he said he lost a COWBOY HAT, not a cowboy.
      I think it was a reference to the Sims 2 DS port. Grim's a cowboy-ghost-mummy thing in that game and instead of reaping people he kidnaps them in a burlap sack since your sim can't actually die in that game.
      The most obvious reference in his secret is to the Sims Medieval. What's interesting is that in that game he wears red, has wings, has long hair, and seemingly still has flesh. The Sims 4 is the only mainline Sims game where the Grim Reaper still has flesh, so linking it to the Sims Medieval was a pretty nice detail. Plus, the Sims 4 Grim's robe shares the more general design elements to that game's Grim compare to plain black robe and skeleton hands the other games' Grims had going for them.

    So I’m a modder and I’m taking a peak at the coding for how secrets get assigned and THEY FULLY HAD THE CAPABILITY to make it so that things like traits or a sims home neighborhood the secrets sims get but instead all they did was make it so that animals and babies (and the grim reaper except for his one special secret) don’t get any secrets attached to them.

    I wonder if the flower bunny and santa and sims like that have secrets like grim's.
    Also it would be kind of fun to *make* the secrets be lore. Like have a snooping sim and when they find out something, go give that sim the appropriate game play. If it's a grilled cheese secret, have them do that, or if they love grim, let them marry him. Or if they hate willow creek, they're not allowed to go there or interact with any of the sims that live in willow creek. Could be a fun kind of challenge.

    I agree, a lot of secrets should be dependent upon where that Sim is actually living. Not just the world, but the actual neighbourhood. After all, Sims living in one of the starter home of Oasis Spring and one living next to the Landgraabs should have radically experiences. Then, for Sims that moved from a world to another one, the secrets from their original residence should stay, and those from the new place should trickle in over time.

    I really wish we could make a Community Project out of this or something with a modder. Like people are writing Secrets for traits or even some Default Sims (Like Eliza) and someone does a mod to get it Info the game. I would Love that. But i bet it would be to much Work in the end to even sort out the ideas.

    As an avid Crusader Kings fan, I'd wager that this new mechanic is more than a little influenced by that series of games; particularly CKIII. Sort of a trading influence thing given that the CK games lift more than a few mechanics from the Sims.
    However the Sims could have definitely benefited from copying more than just the basic format, secrets in CK are procedurally generated- however they're based on a character's personality, memories and relationship to other characters. Also there are a few instanced secrets for characters in each start date, in CK's case they're limited by actual history since that's the "lore" for any historical grand strategy game; however in the Sims they had the opportunity to get really creative with the instanced secrets and evidently squandered it.
    The tone a lot of the secrets have definitely makes sense for a series like the Sims, I wouldn't expect it to get as dark and dramatic as CK secrets- those games really don't pull any punches in that regard. I like the idea on paper, it's just weird that they seemingly copied the idea but not the finer mechanical points of it's implementation. Hopefully this gets some work in future, but damn if that doesn't feel like a tired refrain at this point- we're still waiting on some previously implemented half-baked mechanics to be fully fleshed out so I won't hold my breath.
