As a builder...TS4 is so lacking. Now with the new EP City Life.... is has even more limitations. You have officially done it EA... You've turned the Sims into SimCity 2013. I'm done.

  • Didn't work... bummer. Well....I hate to lose all my progress... but I may have to uninstall and re-install.
  • Yes I have NRaas mods and Master Controller... so I will give all of these a shot. I guess worst case scenario I can uninstall supernatural and re-install and see if that works. the game runs so much smoother since I use Steam instead of Origin. Thank you for responding, I really appreciate it.
  • I have a question.... Steam has all of the Sims 3 games on sale for 4.99 ea... I'm thinking about just getting them all because I'm tired of dealing with Origin. so my question is... does the launcher still work when you play the game on steam? and can I still re-download all of the items I've already purchased form the…
  • Sims 1, 2, 3 each are unique, immersive, unpredictable and give the player an ability to be creative and surprised about what could be coming next. each EP that was added to the game only enhanced the gaming experience. Not all EP's were great...(ahem..sweet treats) but still... there was always something that kept you…

  • Too little too late for me. All they did was make the tools they use to create the worlds available to us...but limited as usual. I just can't....and won't support this company, this game, or even try to be "on board". To Quote a very wise person who brings the sting of truth " The problem here is the subjective intent and…
  • Well...that depends. If it's still a sims style building you need to get your fix..then i would suggest that you go back to Sims 2 or 3. Both games work very well on newer computers and Operating systems. If you go with sims3 I Would recommend downloading some of Nraas Mods nraas.wikispaces.com/Update%20History And keep in…
  • I'm not waiting out 3 more years of this game just to see if they ever get around to making any of the things builders have been begging for. Being optimistic about a poll that was taken almost what 3 months ago now about different types of stairs... and nothing has come out right? and Different style stairs, that should…
  • I'm pretty sure EA will not make a Sims 5. so we can put that to rest right now. I think another gaming studio is the only way we are ever going to get our wish of another version of TS3. Or something close to it. Anyway....I'm with @Bettyboop55 on the speculation of a Sims 5 and that it would have to be another topic. EA…
  • ITF has a ton of content. I bought it for all the building stuff (great windows) Plus it has all the new Plum bots with a new career. You don't have to use the time machine thingy at all. I usually delete it when it shows up....but it's worth having. Unless you don't like the Futuristic hair and clothing... then maybe not.…
  • You are Not twisted at all.... I would not have chimed in and made all my wishes and suggestions known if I wanted to play the sims like its Farmville. The sims just needs new vision... someone to create it in a way that is not scared to make consequences for those little digital people. And yes... It's a Sandbox game....…
  • @Bettyboop55, Well it's doesn't have to be a Nuclear Power plant disaster of any kind. Into the Future EP provides enough possibilities for challenges and "disaster" if it was tweaked a bit. Island Paradise has the whole Plethora of water scenarios and sea creatures that can also be upgraded to create other challenges. The…
  • Yes and No. It might be used best as a Rabbit Hole... because otherwise you would just see your sim checking in, getting assigned a cot or a specific corner of the red cross center... and really not much else to do but wait out the disaster. I mean if not used as a Rabbit hole, there could be a corner for temporary school…
  • I have no regrets with Sims 1, 2, or 3. I however regret ever buying and playing TS4, and purchasing a couple stuff packs and 1 EP. I thought those things would make the game better...sadly it did not, and I'm out the money. I uninstalled the game, and will never put it back on my computer ever again. Lesson learned: Never…
  • When I brought up the Idea of a Nuclear Power plant...I was thinking more in lines of the whole sims world concept. There has always been a Nuclear power plant in every Simscity game...even the last one that EA destroyed...SimCity 2013... yeah there was a Nuclear Plant in that on too. I'm not talking about annihilating the…
  • We didn't think anyone could come close to SimCity either... and then.... City Skylines saved us. I'm not saying we will get a Sims like game soon.... but I would not rule out that another gaming company is working on it. The Gaming community has been a buzz with the disappointment that is palpable right now in regards to…
  • Well, If I'm being honest... I would rather EA not touch anything Sims ever again. So in a perfect world.... Paradox / Colossal Order would create a Sims 3 type game that was 64bit with some of the traditional EP's Like Seasons, Pets, Supernaturals, Generations, Ambitions, with a Story Progression engine and possibly a…
  • I would move on if there was a newer version of TS3. 64bit...updated graphics w/some of the expansions included in the base game...leaving open the opportunity for more original DLC to be added later.
  • So, go to the sims 3 website.... log in, and go to your profile. You can search using the names we have here on the forum. For example...I just logged in and searched for you, Nickijay83. I'm going to send you a friend request now. You will have to be on the sims 3 website to accept it.
  • You don't owe anyone an additional explanation for leaving the game. Honestly I'm surprised there are any builders left to play TS4 with so many build tools that were stripped down or eliminated all together. I would stop playing for the same reasons you are...if I hadn't already stopped playing. I just do not see EA being…
  • The best way to be supportive is not to assume that we are attacking everyone. We are Asking or in the case for Builders... we are begging EA to stop ignoring us and to implement the build elements missing from the game and don't over charge us for it. I'm not going to tell anyone how to spend their money. I personally…
  • Thank you! See, I don't understand...even for the younger players, why this is such a difficult concept to follow. Support each other...demand better. EA/Maxis loot boxing, recycling content and mechanics, limited gameplay and concepts just so the game will run better.... this is all stuff we should be calling them out on.…
  • Good God... you see, this is why there is so much discord on the forums. Someone just singles out one thing to take offense to, when the entire post is making a good point. When are simmers going to understand, that you can still love the game, support the franchise and be critical of things that need to be changed or…
  • It is laziness. Rude and lazy...cause I can't use other descriptive words without it being censored...but yeah, rude and lazy. Mismatch everything, so they can continue to use the same thing and just add another color swatch to it and charge $20 bucks and call it new. That is why we don't have a color wheel. If we did it…
  • Right!!?? And guess what else they did? They took stuff from Spooky Day stuff pack and added a few new swatch colors to it, and put it in the Seasons pack... Meaning, people who have already purchased spooky day, now are paying for it again. This is the really lazy and rude thing I'm talking about. Taking what we have…
  • You see, this is why they don't give us a color wheel. Because that's all they do with content in this game...recolor or remesh...recycle and resell it as new content. Builders and creators not welcome here unless you get on board with buying what's in the game. 4 years in and they are just now getting around to teasing…
  • Yes, boats can be placed on community lots...but I don't think you can charge for them. When you make your dock, are you placing the boat anchors on the dock? that is the only way a boat will connect to the dock. You can find them under the transportation category...the icon is a car. and then choose the tab that looks…
  • LOL don't give them any ideas. That was the stuff pack that made me quit the game.
  • Says the person who has made every effort possible to Derail and hijack this thread...Yet Again!!!! How about you take your own advice, and stop being disrespectful to the OP. all your comparisons have nothing to do with what the OP said in their original post. How many times does the Moderator have to come in here to…
