  • I’m surprised hardly anybody’s talking about Error 134. Maybe everyone who caught it flocked over to the official bug forums and their 100+ pg thread lol. It’s srsly like the reverse of TS3 Error Code 12, so instead of not being able to save, here you can’t even load.
  • @MKSizzle Coo! I actually like random deaths like that in this game and TS2. You can avoid it if you can but if u accidentally forget it makes the game more interesting on its own. I could imagine a meteor coming to the TS4 and when it hits your sim just gets a “singed” moodlet or literally get a popup asking you “Do you…
  • Could you not resetsim or use MasterController to reset town before it hits?
  • Well “couple” technically means two😅so i’m not wrong haha And yeah I don’t know why it’s random that it’s these packs in particular but at least it’s something for now... They weren’t even on sale at the same time until a few days ago with VG but since the sale ends in a few days I think those are probz the only two on…
  • It’s stylized realism. Even the magical and occult stuff is stylized and not as specific in fantasy genres like Harry Potter, etc. If they went all world of warcraft on the magical aspects of The Sims we’d be just as overwhelmed by the overcomplexity as we would if they added politics to the game including president sims,…
  • Yeah I miss getting messages like “someone in this group has issues” and I wish we got stuff like “WOWZA, that was more than a date, that was a whole Plum!” (haha bad fruit puns) or even just “meh” “it was aight”
  • I use normal lifespan with MCCC to tweak the days some. I prefer normal lifespan bc it means if you want to be the best in a certain career or the best skills or in fame it means you have to sacrifice time from other hobbies or parts of life for them which is more realistic to me. Time managment is what the original sims…
  • The cutscenes in 2 I believe were meant for storytelling purposes as they would record using the in-game video capture. I don't think they were soley intended for normal gameplay but you had the option of having them on or off anyway. I like them on because I think they look cool
  • I honestly don't need like 10 or more sims at every location I go, if I do see that many sims everywhere I go, that's because it is made to be an illusion and fake, unlike in TS3 where if the sims are there it's because they want to be. I keep hearing the "ghost effect" so why don't we start calling these so called…
  • It may seem annoying now, which is probably why LGR cut half his body off this time so he can get it over with quicker. But back when it was first started it was a protest to the annoying amount of pracitcally useless stuff packs, embarassing Gamescom performance, and Rachel Franklin's interview about the future of TS4 and…
  • What was misunderstood is that your issue is more of the fault in the way TS4 aspirations work. Unlike better aspirations in TS2, 4 makes every aspiration have the same goals for every sim with no variety. Quite honestly, if you can't find 10 new people to meet, that means your party animal knows more than enough to have a…
  • That's on a failure of understanding the difference between individual wants and fears of individual sims based on a very complex systen of aspiration, personality, memories, current mood, life experiences, and turn on/offs, and the less complex scripted whims that pop up the same for almost every sim regardless of…
  • And again arn't we kinda back to sqaure one? No one knows what the 5M stands for AT ALL. No one from either side should get hyped up about this. This also would not change the fact of TS4 improvments, lack there-of, and the FACT (Not Opinion) that TS4 has recieved more negativity and controversy surrounding it than any…
  • Not true. TS3 pregnant sims always age in days unless they are 0 days from aging up as I said. It seems that in TS4 pregnant sims don't age at all which is simply dumb.
  • In The Sims 2, if a sim was 5 days or less from becoming an elder, they couldn't concieve without cheats. In The Sims 3, pregnant sims would always age unless they were 0 days from age transitioning. I wish sims could age from YA to A while pregnant and of sims who are pregnant become elders it can be like a misscarriage…
  • I wonder if anybody got the joke of the thread title :joy:
  • Where are the sales figures for TS4, as far as anybody knows The Sims 3 could have sold far more than 4 in the same timeframe. To me The Sims 3 started the dark era of The Sims with the Katy Perry stuff and the ridiculously expensive store, and The Sims 4 is the wholesome product of the dark era with underhelming gameplay…
  • But the issue is for many players no matter how much gameplay and objects are added, this game will still not be much fun to play because the depth of TS1 and 2 is not in this game. It is not anything like TS1, TS2 was more like TS1 (similar voice actors for sims, animations based on TS1 animations. but in 3D). I have all…
  • The notes could be sarcastic in a friendly way as a sort of "we'll tell you by not telling you". It wouldn't be the first time they have done that. Don't rules it out completely.
  • What is the point of a gender neutral option? What will it add? There is only male and female, woman and man, and that's it. I appreciate the changes made to CAS because I know transgender people exist and I understand feeling like you may not identify as male or a man, but as a female or woman (and vice-versa), but in…
  • And that seems to be the intention of the series this time around, A reality tv set were the actors are the active household and the player is the director who manipulates what happens, the active lot is the set, and everyone and everything else are extras and backdrops. Just watch the first gamescom reveal where Rachel…
  • I wouldn't care about the pre-order/limited edition bonuses if it wern't for the fact the the Pets, Supernatural, University Life, and Into the Future limited edition content were like premium objects. I paid $40 for a $20 Supernatural on ebay for that dang peashooter
  • If it's just the base game cracked then maybe you can find another one for a cheap price at a local thrift shop. Origin won't take TS2 product codes and I'm not sure if they ever have. You could ask EA customer service for the ultimate collection and use your product code as proof of owning the game. It may take a few…
  • They're both awesome and easily the best ports of any Sims game on console (it was the first time the sims was in 3D before TS2!) Personally I love the normal The Sims 1 console game better because it has the classic charm and music of the pc game. It also has features from the first two expansion packs (house parties,…
  • lol Anytime a thread like this gets closed this is the only explantation I can see them using :lol: I'd also like to add that the time managment aspect of the first two games added some more complex and dynamic gameplay. The sims in 3 and 4 have way too much time on their hands. I never end up watching tv for 5 HOURS…
  • I understand your concern, but what is real is that no matter how many objects or interactions are added to this game, it's still going to be an empty experience for many because basically TS4 is a role-playing game; you have to force your sims to behave according to their traits, you are forced to complete the same tasks…
  • It's been good to hear everyone's opinions about this issue, just remember not to stray too far off-topic. I'm going to change the title of this thread to "The Real Issue of The Sims 4". This in no way is meant to downplay everybody else's issue with the game, but seriously. Toddlers, or no toddlers, open world, or no open…
  • That is a phrase I ask myself a lot. I seriously wonder how many people who are just begging for all these big features in TS4 are the same people who have made it impossible because they are the same people who wanted The Sims 4 to play on their low-end comp. I don't think some realize YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH WAYS. No matter…
  • Beautiful :cry: I love your point of how it's the outgoing personality of sims that is always going to win over any "traits" you give them. There is no real need to talk EVERY SINGLE TIME i'm not doing something with my mouth. Being silent keeps me focused more often than not. But for these sims, they can and WILL ALWAYS…
