Been playing TS2 for the last two days and having a ball! The level of interaction is incredible. I couldn't find Brady and his son Eduardo. I found them sitting on the floor hanging out! Managed to get a screenshot. Will share later. Also I love that Lily and Brady pass baby Carla to each other and that Brady can interact with Carla while she is in Lily's arms. I love that children can skip and use jump rope. I love TS3, but the detail in TS2 is amazing. Hard to believe it is 11 years old!
I can see why family play really took off with TS2. The only thing that disappoints with TS2 re family play is that babies and toddlers cannot go to community and vacation lots. That does put a bit of a spanner in the works that family outings. Dad is going to stay home to look after baby Carla while Mum and the kids go on vacation.
I was playing my sims yesterday, and 2 of my sims were cuddling in bed. They had just been trying for baby number 3 (they succeeded, a little girl) and afterward they laid there, and held hands on the pillow, with their wedding rings showing on their hands. It was just so SWEET. I mean, that level of subtlety just has not existed since sims 2. Sims 3 was better than Sims 4 in that respect, but Sims 2 was just chock full of all those little details. I wish Sims 4 had been all that, but it just wasn't

Yep the level of detail in TS2 shows how much love went into it. It wasn't just a money making exercise. This explains why TS2 is going strong after 11 years.
Stacey if you are into mods, there is one on MTS that allows you to take toddlers, puppies, and kittens to community lots.
Thanks I looked at that mod but the installation instructions were a bit complicated. Bit worried I might install it wrong. Thanks for the suggestion though. It was love mods. My love for nraas mods for TS3 knows no bounds!
Good afternoon! Today at the Larson residence Emma was a victim of theft. The perpetrator was none other than her brother Joshua. Enjoy!

Great pictures @HappySimmer3 and yay for getting back into the sims even if it cant be in TS4 yet-that world and your sims are beautiful!
Haha hopefully our three hour chat made into episodes will be worth a listen! We had a lot of fun-I mean three hours meant we had to, the time just flew by!
@GrayLady2010 aww poor little mite! Thank you for sharing

Awesome pictures @Angl2005151 haha the dad going into panic with the upcoming birth makes me laugh every time. Werewolf toddlers may be destructive but are so darn cute!
It's been busy for them the last couple of sim days and Ellie is having lots of fun learning with mum. They skill quicker with their parents helping.
After showing Ellie some logic skill she gave her a snuggle, while Eleena and Callum wait for their turn for the bottle. She looks a little exasperated, but in all she is coping better and feeling happier.
Meanwhile downstairs is hectic with the dogs and puppies, Carmen in this pictures was on her way to work, good thing too she wasn't in a good mood and needed to get out of the house. Bluto and Rocky have their paws full with their bundles, but they will be put up for adoption as its too much with all those dogs. lol
Always time for a tummy rub!
In between all the fuss of caring for 3 toddlers, there is housework and dog washing to be done.
Carmen's mood was ok, but she insisted to Nicole she wants to learn to box. Nicole I am sure is thinking "oh dear, you need Zen girl." lol
Brent decided to take the plunge and teach Sarah to drive, and oh boy was it hair raising for him! lol He was tense the whole time, and couldn't wait to get out of that car.
The look of relief after getting home made me laugh he was so tense and wasn't in a good mood until he got home and saw his beloved Nicole.
There may be toddlers crying, and complete noise but they can always find peace with each other, no matter how loud life gets. lol (was that too corny?) lol
Hey guys. Thanks for all the hugs and kindness. I have been at this point of not believing TS4 will ever be "fixed" to a game of my liking for quite some time now. But that does not mean I am down or that I am going any where. Like I said, if I go away, EA wins! NOT HAPPENING!I still have hope for a better TS5 even if I never play TS4 again. I have TS2 and TS3 and I will be happy with those for now. I enjoy stopping in and seeing all the pics! They are inspiring. And I like hearing about those playing TS4 and the things they have discovered and the mods that are "correcting" EA 's mess.
And @Bettyboop55I LUV YOUR CORNEY JOKES!!!!!

Hi @kimjo313 I am sorry you are feeling so let down. But am also very glad that you are not going anywhere either, we must all make a stance, and I am right there with you all.

Nah. I leave it would be like one more notch on EA's belt. I love coming here and seeing all your pics. And I love your commentary! All these pics should be showing EA how much WE WANT to like TS4. And that we WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IT! We just need EA to understand what we need to be able to play it!

So I decided to give the Autonomy mod a go and my sims autonomously went and tried for a baby, lol. So we're expecting A nice touch was that as soon as she found out that she was expecting she went to tell her boyfriend the news edited for typo
Wow that's such great news. I hope you share pictures of the baby/babies when they are born. I'm glad it worked out well for you.
I just wish that the baby object was more engaging and the toddler existed. Sims 2 here's looking at you, kid <tips hat> I'm pretty sad about that business.
I confess I'm starting to really want to try out the new EP, but I also don't want to be suckered by the shiny new content when I'm still so sad about the evisceration of family play. I don't usually sit around complaining on forums, I'd rather play the games I love and ignore the ones I don't. Still here I am, because if we don't speak out for the game we love where does the franchise go? Somewhere that we haven't been catered for

Thats the point. We stand up because if we dont we never get catered to. Plain and simple they will ignore us because we wont exist, we will have moved on without EA.
Please @Scobre don't tear your hair out, not for TS4 If mods are helping you keep playing then that is good news and I am sure many people here are glad you are sharing your information on the mods available. My annoyance in part stems from the fact I play vanilla but if I am to sticking with TS4 I am going to resort to mods and cc. This means I am changing my playing habits to try to accommodate my playstyle.
As I said earlier EA are lucky to have us. If they don't see that and things remain as they are with TS4 then the dependence on mods and cc will have to grow. And that assumes simmers will want to persevere. There are no guarantees on that score. Lets hope we get some positive news soon
It just doesn't make sense to me to try to make the Sims 4 a MMO game again. It's just upsetting there is a petition to make the Sims 4 into one again. I already have to suffer with having no toddler because of that project. What other features do I have to give up because of risky ventures? Once I heard the Sims 4 was going to be offline mode again, I was a lot happier. I already had one MMO shut down on me recently that I adored. I know MMOs are risky and cost millions of dollars to maintain especially since talking to developers about it before. I don't want them to hit the main PC games. If EA wants to make side games of them especially with mobile versions or console versions, I'd be fine with that. Family play is really important to me and I don't want to be forced to play a single life stage in which the security of teenagers can be put at risk. I have a hard enough time Origin taking my gaming info. Sorry I'm just frustrated about it today.
Yeah mods and getting attached to my cartoon smurf family somehow keeping me playing. I did make some NPC character from the ex-MMO I used to play too. Force of habit me using mods since the Sims 2. I remember in the Sims 1, putting my picture onto a Sim and that was kind of odd looking. Making my own CCs was kind of fun too. I haven't tried to make my own Sims things since the Sims 1 I admit. I'm not smart enough to make my own mods I know, but maybe I'll attempt to make my own CCs again sometime. I really miss the body shop the Sims 2 had. I might have made some of my own CCs with that too. Being able to create my own toddler clothing would be fun. Maybe I'll try it sometime with the Sims 2.

Hello @Scobre please don't worry about MMO too much. Petitions for making Sims MMO have been around since TS3 days. EA got badly burnt with Sim City which is one of the reasons Olympus was ditched I believe. EA know that if they do that they can say goodbye to a lot of simmers who have yet to decide TS4 is for them. Not to mention those of us who regard MMO with absolute horror.
Now I must go get some sleep
