    Oh no :( Can you not get EA to give you the downloads when you register your game? They give you digital copies when you do :)

    No, I can't. That's the problem. TS2 there wasn't Origin and my first Origin Account for TS3, I forgot..... a090.gif But maybe it's a sign to save my money for fixing my PC and not waiting any longer, that EA fix TS4 for us c005.gif

    Have you had a go at getting the Ultimate Collection for TS2? I don't know what they're thinking not just having it up for sale - perhaps they worry it will outsell TS4 :lol:

    I feel I should mention that scary weather like the above post is brief and rare, most of the weather in my world is just about perfect to where I want it to be now :smirk: As it darn well should be after the time I have spent on it!

    The only time I've ever seen sims get struck by lightning was in Tikki Island when sims were soaking in hotsprings, it was pretty much every sim getting struck in there in there except mine :D . So I got out of there and into the sauna ASAP!

    My sims got struck by lightning there!! In the hotsprings :lol: The above screenshot of mine wasn't lightning though, just a brief transition where my whole sky turned bubblegum pink D:

    I love TS2!!
    I remember TS4 team did a video on what TS4 should be like a year before it release and they said this:

    TS4 is gonna be a mesh between TS3 and TS2.
    (something like that anyway).

    The only things similar and the wishes and the emotions and personally I think their terribly portrayed so in my book:

    TS3 and TS2 still rule. o:)

    You may very well still be able to get TS2 Ultimate. Sometimes you have to try a few times, but I got mine well and truly after the offer ended and it is convenient.

    You really think so ? But how ? I mean, where can I ask for it ?

    Ask EA support, that's how other people got it :)

    The one part I can sims 4 is actually better than Sims 3 is the really small animation effects.

    It was a Sims 2 thing. Hotsprings and lightning = almost a guarantee of getting hit :lol: Dangerous living Sims 2 style.

    I wish you luck @Faridah :)

    Only 9 pages to the 1000 mark and what changes have we seen? Have there been enough for a recap? Nearly 1 year along and still waiting...
    @sparkfairy1 much love to you, I really hope you are starting to feel better.

    Thanks :) I have to confess, I haven't been playing a family in the game for a while -- I've been mostly building, and before that I was playing a single Sim when I was being frustrated about that rotational play careers bug. But I will try to remember to share here when I have family-play screenshots, not just in the usual threads I share screenshots in :)

    It's ok and yeah building can be fun to do. Sorry you got that career bug. I don't know why playing rotational is causing bugs like that and others. Cool.

    Nah I think I lost it awhile ago. Sadly my hope is towards the Sims 5 now, but I could be disappointed again.

    It could be really good, or really plum, depends on how it works out, could it be a follow up from TS3, or a step back from even TS4?

    Everytime I think I have the weather sorted out I get something weird like this:

    screenshot_original.jpg
    This is a strange transition between a storm and my bushfire sky special sky condition. The game also decided that bushfire sky would work just fine as a rainy weather too, which was weird. I think I really need to take a break from trying to get the weather perfect though. I've been driving myself a little batty. I'm uploading Alpha version at the moment so I can go and maybe do something else for a little while, lol. I'm thinking a somewhat smaller size map next time around, although I love the overall feel of wide open space which was the main thing that I was aiming for :)

    @Frogprincess_q, I think it looks good! I really like the coloring of the sky in that picture.


    Edited to make sense! LOL

    Oh that's good. So hopefully you can play rotationally safely now. That is one of my play styles too.
