So, i said something positive about the animations of Spa Day. but OF COURSE TS4 can't stay consistent with even one pack.
That's my sim meditating. Nothing out of the ordinary you might think (except for her hating it)...but look at this!
As you can see, she has been pregnant during the meditation. They just let the belly dissapear for this.
If I thought meditating would help get rid of a belly I'd be on the floor typing this.
This stuff with the aliens in Sims4 is disheartening. Just another example of them trying to tell me how to play my game. My aliens in Sims3 are proud and don't need to hide behind a disguise to not be embarrassed. They are so PC about other things in this game, why do they have aliens embarrassed because they are different. They should be proud, not hiding behind a disguise. They need to be consistent about the content that they produce an no one should be ashamed because they are different. They don't even give an option to have a proper alien invasion if someone wanted that as they would be too embarrassed to invade.
PS: Alien toddlers don't have any special reactions. I've had two recently and have two alien babies who will be aging up soon.
SimGuruDrake was sweet saying it is ok to have a love/hate relationship towards something. I think I'm starting to realize I have one towards the Sims 4. It just excites yet irritates me sometimes. I don't know. Probably making me realize I'm badly due getting some Sims 2 pictures again. I'm tempted to play the Sims 3 again. I just badly want my deviant and sandbox and family play styles in a game again, so guess I have to play the oldies to feel really excited towards the Sims again.
That love/hate thing is not something that I normally get with games, not like I do with Sims 4. One minute I'm having fun then something just irks me. Not being able to fish together for example, it seems to me like it's just a little thing, but it's a major turn-off. The list goes on and on, though
And of course it's ok to love/hate the game - as long as you love it more so you keep spending money... Sorry, my cynicism is on overdrive today. But I believe it's true unfortunately.

Do they do something special? I think i never had one in TS3 and i can't remember how they were in 2.
Not really. Just how they are born is special. They are hybrid aliens too, so part alien and part human. I always loved that about them. So their genetics are special to me. I loved the cut scenes in that game.
> @marcellala said: > As you can see, she has been pregnant during the meditation. They just let the belly dissapear for this.
I was considering buying Spa Day the other day since it looks pretty non-linear, your post made me reconsider. This reminds me of how lazy EA is when it comes to details. I'd seriously rather they nuked the interaction for pregnant sims than have this. Ideally, they'd remake the animations but what're the chances of that happening?
@marcellala oh no I'd want to see the pregnant sim with their own dedicated animations because that's a special time that deserves special treatment. *sigh* I can't believe they think that's okay
PLEASE FIX TEENS IN TS4! I NEED YOUNGER TEENS NOT YA TEENS! (^_^)Please add Music Bands with lead singers! Please add vehicles and garages! Vehicles have always been part of The Sims.
Well I am not @Goodywood but oh its so sad. Can you imagine being told in TS1 that in 15 years you would have to pay for them and they would be 'exciting'?! I can't. I just can't believe how cut the base has been, and how they seem to think its okay to make us pay, and pay and pay to complete the base. Urgh
It's really sad. And when people get happy it makes it even more sad.
I fear in Sims 5 we will be hearing "Yay! They are bringing back chairs in the new SP! I can't wait to see my sims sit down!"

Yeah... The pregnant meditation animation (or lack there of) and this dishwasher thing, while not surprising, are pretty much the final straw for me. What more are they going to leave out or cut? This doesn't show me any promise for the future of this game or make me want to invest.
I'm all for buying DLC but this is downright taking the plum.
I'm also all for people being excited but what annoys me the most are the ones saying this isn't fair yet they're willing to buy it anyway. Like, have some self respect, man. If you're unhappy with the product why on earth are you buying it? I just don't get it. How are we supposed to get any kind of change when people are actually willing to be stung along?
I just don't know anymore. I am at an actual loss for words.
I'm a teenager and even I think it's starting to become childish. Why did they tone down the making-out interaction from TS2? Why is having sex called "WooHoo"? And why the plum do supernaturals look like they came from Twilight?
I don't mind sex being called "Woohoo" because it fits the sim style. By nature The Sims is playful. If the game was geared to an adult audience and had a mature tone, then yeh, I would agree. Clearly, this game isn't targeted as such.
Hey everyone,
Just popping in to catch up on the last 10 pages or so.... Life has been busy lately and I've been playing Cities Skylines instead of The Sims, just waiting for Gamescom to come around to see if they will finally come through for us.
If the next stuff pack is Kitchens I really wouldn't be surprised. A LOT of people have been asking for dishwashers since release, plus some larger fridges and other bits and bobs. It just ticks me off that those simmers will have to pay for that content, which should have been basegame.
It was interesting, on Twitter @TheSims shared a "Throw back Thursday" photo of Sims 2 sims practicing yoga. I sort of laughed to myself that they would share a base game Sims 2 feature that they'd just sold back to us for $20 a pop.
Is this how it's going to be now guys, really?
Sad to see so many depressed Simmers in this thread at the moment. I totally understand - I WANT to play TS4, but every time I try I quit because I can't play the way I want to. That's why I've been taking a break from the Sims altogether. It helps to just distance yourself and think about other things sometimes!
Hope you all keep well.

Hi.
I've distanced myself from playing The Sims for the past few days. Partly because over games have been calling to me, partly because of stress from work, and I just feel burned out from simming.
Hellooo everyone. How are you guys today? Angry at EA but otherwise fabulous I hope?
I was looking at some screenshots of that new Disney movie Inside Out, it looks really really cute. I would love to see toddlers end up looking a bit like 'baby' Riley!
These pics reminded me of a toddler behaviour I'd love to see! I think it'd be amazing if parents could feed toddlers in their high chairs. Maybe toddlers could fuss and not want to eat veggies if they're in a bad mood, and they could make a HUGE mess - and have fun doing it! - if they eat while they are feeling playful. When I was a toddler if I was left unattended with cake I would smear it all over my face then run around like a maniac. There are videos. So many hilarious videos.
I wish the kids in S4 looked more like Riley does as a kid as well...
For some reason in my S4 kids always seem to come out with squinty little eyes. They look like someone took a shrink ray to an adult. (Teens didn't even get the shrink ray. ) It's like they didn't take into account that eyes don't grow at the same rate as other facial features. In fact, eyes barely grow at all compared to the other features! Kid should have bigger eyes and ears than adults. In S4, all features seem to scale up at the same rate. Technically nose bridges should get stronger as well, but I guess that's pretty hard to simulate. Anyway, personally I wish the devs would pay closer attention to the general characteristics that change with age...but I should probably just be happy kids and teens were included at all. *exaggerated eye roll* To me this was a huge part of life simulation, and it added a lot of enjoyment to the game. I thought the series would strive for more differentiation between ages because it adds a ton of visual interest, and makes the ageing process more fun and interesting! But alas.
The infant becomes less and less attractive as an object of nurturing as it becomes less and less dependent on the adult, maturing into early and then later childhood. The average child’s face is a various blend of the features of the baby and the adult in a mixture that is relatively less attractive than either the baby or the adult archetypal face.
The average child’s face varies from the archetypal adult face in the following manner:
Teeth variously missing or spaced (I would love to see this!)
Freckles or acne
Flat eyebrows fuller than the child’s
Ears that appear oversized
Nose which generally appears somewhat small, short and wide
Relatively flatter and less well defined cheeks
More “baby fat” generally throughout the face resulting in less distinctive features
I made a pic to illustrate my frustration (sorry for the awful cropping I did it really quickly )
So in this pic I just wanted to show what happens to a sim's face as they age. The second row, I made the child's eyes larger. To me, the larger eyed child looks better, and suites the art style. But just look at the creepy mess she grows into! Lol! Those eyes just keep on goin' and goin'! To me, the ratio is off. If you're going to make a cartoony style for a sims game, then imo go all the way with it. Give kids big doe eyes, and big ears, and missing teeth and pudgy cheeks. Basically, I thought the ageing process would be a priority in the design of S4 and was disappointed that it was not. If there is a Sims 5 I hope they look into adding this level of detail. ***I know that this is totally subjective so I accept this may just be a 'me' sort of a problem, but I'm gonna just voice my opinion anyway because YOU CAN'T STOP ME! MWHAHAHAHA. Ahem. Sorry.***
Aaaanyway sorry, that was quite a tangent. Now back to that movie I was talking about originally... check out this adorable little clip!
When I saw this I was like 'omg that's how I feel about my sims!' Silly little memories from their baby/toddler/child stages help me get to know them, what 'powers them', what caused their personality to shape as it did. Without that stage of development, sims feel plucked out of thin air, with no depth of character! In S4 when it come time to assign traits to a child, I have literally nothing to go on. Is this child musical because her mum used to sing to her? Is she neat because her sister was always messing up her toys and it drove her crazy? Is she grumpy because she didn't get enough attention? No. She is a total blank slate. She has no memories, no back story, no soul. Instead it feels like she gets a trait because I've chosen a trait for her. Period.
I have the same problem with ambitions. She gets the one I picked, and she doesn't care about it one way or the other. I can change it at any time and she won't even flinch. It cheapens the meaning of ambitions totally. It removes the in game effects, and makes it a purely player-centric goal, rather than one that occurs organically.
As usual, it all points back to the fact that I want my sim's life to have meaning! I want them to be able to form memories, and experience their 'firsts'. I want them to appear unique both in appearance and behavior. I want them to 'evolve' as the choices I make shape them into the sim they become. I want their family to support them through tough times, and celebrate with them through joyous ones. I want parents to recognize how magical and special it is for their child to see the world for the first time. This is the direction I wanted S4 to go because you could see it hinted at in previous games but never FULLY explored - not to my liking anyway. Instead it took a 180 and headed down Dumb Joke Drive, then turned left at Bro Boulevard and ended up at the dump.
edit: wow technical difficulties, lol couldn't get that clip to show up for the life of me there, and all the pics came out really small... but I figured it out!
@esharpmajor I very much agree with all of those points, I think. Facial proportions and aging need tweaking. Player-centric goals are not my cup of tea for Sims. And more interactions between and within the age groups would be amazing. I would like to see hair-pulling from babies too, lol. I can't image that would ever happen though, but it is something babies do with their grabby little hand reflexes. I remember my daughter at a few months old grabbed a handful of her own hair and was screaming at me in frustration and pain. The look on her face! I felt for her, but but it was also a little bit hilarious
Oh my. That little clip from Inside Out reminds me of something my oldest would do when she was a toddler. Right after the bath, she'd wriggle like a little fish out of the towel I was trying to dry her with so that she could streak down the hallway, shrieking with laughter. I suspect she kept doing it because her toddler laughter was so contagious, I'd be chasing her laughing my head off.
If we could have Sims 4 toddlers, I wish they'd do something like that. Perhaps that's why I like the in-depth interactions between my Sims 2 family members. Because they bring back the good memories of my own family experiences, and they make me smile again. I like that feeling, and I like recreating it in my sims.
I'd love if my Sims had a memory system like that which influenced the emotions. At least the emotions would have real meaning then. I do love Pixar animation a lot and wouldn't mind if toddlers were based off of the look of it. I really love the look of Boo too and she was so adorable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPaTaEN2wxY
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.” –Helen Keller
Boo was so cute, I agree toddlers based on this look would be awesome. I like Agnes from Despicable me too : we already have unicorn toys, we just need an interaction "Make an annoying noise"
Boo was so cute, I agree toddlers based on this look would be awesome. I like Agnes from Despicable me too : we already have unicorn toys, we just need an interaction "Make an annoying noise"
I love Agnes too. It was funny I was looking at pictures of her while looking at Boo's pictures too. Yeah I asked the Gurus at an Ask a Sim Guru session could put "It's so fluffy" in Simlish. They asked me what it would sound like and I was like um idk, I don't speak Simlish. XD But man I'd love if children and hopefully toddlers could say that to their big unicorn toy. It would be so funny and add cute humor to the game. But that could be a fun game we could play in this thread. What is something you wish little ones could say in Simlish?
Guess I should try to make up something for "It's so fluffy!" Espso flafoo! Yes I admit I used Katy Perrry's Simlish song to help me out a bit.

@To7m I don't exactly know if that was directed at me (sorry if that's paranoid), but i personally have decided that i'm going to buy the additions i think that have quality and add something to my game without being too much of a money grab. I know i bought Spa Day one day after it was out and it might have been too soon, but i saw a lot of reviews and heart a lot of positive things.
I don't buy the SPs because i can't accept the fact that @SimGuruGraham apparently decided to search the forum or general complaints for the objects we miss most and than add them in a ten dollar pack, because EA thinks people might be like "ten dollars? I pay more for my breakfast!". It was hard on me not buying hottubs. Do you know how most of my sims got pregnant?
Actually, from shower woohoo (because it took some tries in the other games and this was the fastest thing), but the most fun was hottub woohoo.
I didn't buy anything in the TS3 store for the same reason+ it was overpriced and because of the false advertising. Still, i don't judge anyone who bought something there. If you like a game, you like to have more of it and add to it.
I play TS4 a lot. I agree with a lot of your complaints and my biggest one are missing toddlers and culling (that i don't experience anymore at least), but i also miss open world, deeper family play , story progression (that i have back luckily) and i think it's my personal decision if i buy something or not and it has not something to do with lacking self-respect.
@marcellala I don't think @To7m was referring to you at all. I think he's going by some of the pained comments on the article posted, there were some sad comments on there. You know I'd never judge anyone for buying but I do find it hard to see people do conflicted over buying because it shouldn't be that way it's so sad and unnecessary seeing the game in such a state.
