    What's the difference though with you just manually turning ageing off? It may not be ideal but it does exactly the same thing - except that you can actually go back to your main family in 4.

    The problem is that while the college Sim grows up during their time there, the rest of their family is exactly as College Sim left them.
    Meaning that College Sim could potentially be older than their parents/older siblings/etc.

    Just turn off ageing for all sims?

    Not if you turn it off for everyone? Which is exactly what happened in 3 as well - your sim doesn't have to continue aging while the rest of the world doesn't?

    Hm...True. Okay, that sounds better.
    Still not happy about it, though.

    I guess I'm a little confused as to what they were supposed to do?

    I would be so so irritated if I could not control age myself. Now I can fine-tune things as usual by sorting households into played or unplayed and set ageing on for each group as I wish. Things functioning as usual is how I wanted it to be so now I can pre-order in peace :)

    Edit: I was missing an w

    Lemme just say I love those running shoes. We have too few good sports shoes xD

    Also, looking at this pack, I've concluded I still dress like I'm at uni ... years after graduating :no_mouth:

    You can easily change aging options in the options menu. That would probably be the only way to control that stuff.

    Jupp :) I was missing a "w"

    Really happy that we can keep control over age as ourselves.

    I LOVE how Foxbury looks, seriously! I have one sim that simply needs to go to Britechester since she's been writing and practicing her acting since she's been a teen, BUT ... I need a sim at Foxbury. It's so pretty :love:

    It was in 3 as well though - and with how multitasking works (and *cough* weddings) I think it'd be more frustrating than fun tbh.

    And TS3 Uni wasn't? :joy:

    In terms of gameplay, this actually looks like one of the better ones. Active classes in TS3 were boring. And graduations were very buggy rabbit hole events. It's not ideal, I get that, and it would be nice if we got a super well functioning class/dorm but I'm still not sure how that would work in most sims games, and I definitely don't know how it would work in TS4 (again, because of the whole way tasks are queued).

    I was all into this stream, until they popped up tattoos. Can someone explain to me whose bright idea it was to put a string of characters on a sims forearm, considering the connotation of such a tattoo? O.o like how did noone say "this might be a bad idea" or "wow we need to make the little arty blob big enough people can see it and NOT mistake this for a string of numbers on someone from WW2's arm!"

    It‘s really annoying to watch you guys playing with these poor tired Sims. Why don‘t you just cheat their needs so the show off is better? *SMH*

    I get the feeling none of the gurus really play this game.

    Did we got any 64x64 lots? I'm too lazy to watch the whole thing.

    I wouldn't jump to that as the connotation personally. Using phrases as a tattoo seems to be pretty standard nowadays.
    Hoping some day for some toddlers. But also dreading they'll never come. JK THEY ARE HERE!
