  • I followed the advice about the drop down and I can't buy it. I restarted the Origin client too. I hard refreshed my browser to try and buy it in the browser. Am I doing something wrong? I have never bought a pack the moment it came out before.
  • I can't imagine there being zombies in a Sims game. The point of Zombies is that they try to attack people. They're also really gross and I personally don't like anything zombie-related, so I hope this is not anything with them. I wouldn't want them in my Sim world as my Sims try to do their day to day things. I would like…
  • I think it is fair to assume that because The Sims is a completely different genre of game from FPS, FPS and Third Person Shooter, basically all that they are talking about this year, +soccer, then there is no real reason to advertise EA Play weeks in advance and have it plastered across The Sims 4 website. It kind of…
  • Just wanted to address and clarify that within the context of the thread, and the original link regarding that video --- that was in response to some expressing caution in the posts prior. As a rebuttal to those expressing their concern, the video in question was shared, I think as an affirmation. BUT it was a little too…
  • @stilljustme2 I just listened to the video you posted from SimsVIP and there is one mention of new content planned for PC, but mostly, the video reiterates the Sims Mobile in 3 places, and at length. Then at the end, it really closes with how exciting it is for us. I just want to add to this thread and state that I am not…
  • I'll start by saying that I do like the Sims 4 content, and your team's collective efforts in giving us this game. In the same breath, I came here and saw your post because I read a Kotaku article about this situation (GuruDrake leaving, and lack of updates); allow me in a short, few words to extend my prerogative on why…
  • @luthienrising Thanks for the response! I am reading your post carefully. My specific problem is this (it's not the counter): I have households in the Others tab. Unplayed townies. A family, the Cheng family - for example, was never played and I never favored them. They've been around a while because I manually cull as a…
  • @Neia Thanks for the thread and info. I didn't word my post the best, because what I am describing does not exist, although a system like it is somewhat in place. Yes, Sims are object-pooled, but I was unable to find information contrary to multiple Sims being created for a unique purpose, like bartending - so that if a…
  • @Simanite I particulary enjoyed your pics with captions. Laughed at the very end.

  • @crinrict --- regarding my post on Page 13 (I see you've responded to so many questions already) In reference to Sims not getting up from the table after their meals are finished... I am using Sunny-Side Up, a Maxis Restaurant, and I re-did the Magnolia promenade store in the upper right into a Restaurant of my own making.…
  • I didn't see anyone with this problem, unless I missed it. I have a game with absolutely NO CC of any kind. And no Mods. When running a restaurant, Sims come in and dine as intended, but I always have one table that just doesn't leave. I've tested this a few times, but they will stay and stay, indefinitely. I even closed…
  • gamecenter name is ateKna. Please add me.
  • @Colton147147 Thanks. I didn't know you could uncover specs. Did I post that somewhere? It's a GTX 960 card, rather than a 660, but I guess all that matters is that the game wouldn't crash. Thanks so far for other answers too. I guess what I was wondering most of all is if the Sims in houses would be culled...? Assuming…
  • Try looking at a photograph for reference purposes. If you can, get a front and side portrait of the person's face. I've done that before and ended up with unique-looking Sims. I try to use people that aren't too famous or that I don't know, so that Sim has it's own identity- not to be reminded of the concept photo.
  • @GalacticGal When you said you were an author, I checked out your books on your sig. I just wanted to give a shout out and say they are really well written. If you haven't looked into it already, consider ebook publishing through Amazon. Although I don't know if you can do fan fiction using TM works like Star Trek ... you…
  • I wanted to pop back in on this thread to talk more about what I think the issue with the limit is. I don't think that the 300 townie limit is what people are responding to, but rather, the purge itself. Many people are generation players and the game WILL get rid of that family tree. I think it's not suppose to, but on…
  • They should have made players be able to choose if they want a small, medium or large database. I just left a response in your other thread @halimali1980, saying that I thought culling should be a fail safe. Culling implies that the game deletes the data. Deleting is worse than recycling data because it slows down the game…
  • The reason I think they haven't done something like MC command is because the software has to work for everyone. Culling is a fail safe, for sure. It's just not working the way it should for a game like this. It's harder to make software work for everyone than it is to make software. I definitely think there is a better…
  • @halimali1980 Yes, that's true. The behavior scripts should have backwards compatibility though. I think it's really unlikely that starting a new save would help matters, but I really don't know how the engine's AI applies itself.
  • @luthienrising @halimali1980 Agreed. If anything, the issue I am most concerned with is the one that revolves around the original focus of the topic, which was culling. I theorized that culling isn't really a problem but it's causing us so much trouble due to the game endlessly generating Sims to fill roles. Also, I…
  • @luthienrising It is a lot more rare, but I have both played Sims and unplayed -who are unemployed- being assigned careers. (I.E Astronauts, Scientists, Writers). I think it is mostly townies getting assigned roles like trainers, repairmen,.. It has been a while since I took specific notice of played Sims being put into…
  • @azsimmer1 I have one Sim with maxed skills who is a maid and the secret girlfriend of my rich bachelor Sim. I have her as unemployed as she tends to the mansion, cooks, organizes parties, ect..,ect.. The game still hasn't assigned her a job yet, and I hope it never does. I started a topic about this, in fact:…
  • In general, I would like to see more food. I would like to see customizable food too, yes, but even more exciting for me would be HIDDEN RECIPES!! Like things you catch while fishing, or unlock at career level 10, or find in the grotto, or learn from locals with high enough charisma -- all of which can be taught to other…
  • Congrats winners! I was wondering what the number was. I saw so many people saying 102 that I thought that might be it. I also didn't want to count myself know for sure, so I ended up waiting :#
  • I didn't want to use a mod that adds an excessive amount of uncollected data to my game. It can have unforeseen consequences if the devs change other scripts. Saves might not work anymore. I am thinking of writing a simple mod of my own after reading about how they are trying to limit townie generation. I want to create a…
