@Anemone7 I enjoyed your picture spam and stories a lot. Thank you so much for sharing. They made me laugh a lot. @junceda Beautiful world and very detailed. Nice job on it.

So last night when I got out of playing TS4, I got the message about how likely you are to recommend the game to a friend. I've seen this message once before, but it's been awhile. I figured that since they're asking, I'll give them a piece of my mind, so this is what I said:
I've been playing games in The Sims franchise since 2000 and this game is by far the most dull. I spend most of my time on speed 3 because I just don't feel a connection to my sims. Their emotions are still all over the place, and their personality traits have basically no effect on how they behave at all. Family play is very unsatisfying with the majority of actions between children and teens-elders being variations on talking. No hand clap games, no playing tag, no family dance. And obviously with babies as objects I don't feel a connection with them, just like I don't feel a connection with a refrigerator. The absence of toddlers truly baffles me, as this was something that was initially promised to us before release. Then it was pulled. It's been over a year since the game came out and not only do we not have toddlers, we don't have any idea of if or when they will come back. So, no, it's very unlikely that I would recommend this game to a friend. If they could get it for very very cheap, and they only want to play a game where you go out to bars and clubs and throw parties, I might recommend this to them, but I honestly don't know people who would shell out so much money for a party simulator. People who love to party are partying, not playing video games. Try listening to your customers and actually applying the feedback we have been giving for more than a year, and I might change my opinion. Right now, I'm only playing to show through the telemetry that we family players deserve a better game.
I had a moment yesterday.. Haven't had one of these ones in awhile. I was just.. flicking through some of the Happy Play stuff here (because despite popular belief, there are people that don't like the game but do like to see people having fun with it) and I just felt.. left out.
I want to be able to play it too and feel content with my purchase. I just can't bring myself to give my money to a company who has so blatantly disregarded our feedback.
So I started up TS3 instead.. and played with a family I have always really enjoyed.. and got a huge kick out of their antics instead.

At least this is easier on my wallet now.
Yep I'm one of them. I always enjoy reading a good story regardless of game. Aww it's ok and you won't feel alone with that. I hope you are enjoying the Sims 3 again and lol what I thought too. I was like oh good, a Sims game I don't have to stress getting packs for.
So I tried the MC Command Center again. Ok to get to the bypass family ghosts, you click the computer and turn it on or off from that. In my case I used a typewriter CC, but it still worked. The mod will help both with regular culling and ghost culling. You can even limit the homeless, so not a lot of Sims for those will generate fast.
The jealousy trait also seems to effect couples only, not so much siblings sadly. I did have one kid be happy about their new sibling being born with a temporary moodlet.

I love that world! I downloaded it a few months back from Tumblr, and my sims went on vacation there. Just mom and dad, left their little girl back home with her parents (I can imagine can't I. ) That world was so breathtaking, too bad they only had three days there. But they did bring home a present! And mom is about to have their son any Sim Day now!
@bekkasan I always thought your name is bekka and you used the japanese formal suffix san lol My name is a combination of my favourite anime character Anemone and the anime she's from "Eureka Seven".
@pepperjax1230 Awesome picture and wow, I didn't know Don could look that good. I usually make my own. I may have to take another look at him.....or did you fix him?
@marce@anemone7 I just can't resist that. I do like your new name and am getting used to it and spelled it correctly the first time today. I'm nosy about names, does it have a special significance? Mine is just a combo of my favorite name (if my son had been a girl he would have been Rebecca with nickname of bekka and my name which is the San part. @anemone7 Love the blooper pics. Poor guy got the pee scared right out of him!!!
@junceda It looks like a beautiful world, but too big for my puter...until I get a job and get a new one. I've bookmarked the page though and may try it as a vacation world. Sometimes that works for the larger worlds...sometimes not. Then at least I get to explore them, just can't live in them as they build up too much something and make my puter lose memory and all that stuff I don't understand.
Pic of the day.
This was taken when I was building the toy store for @anettesb and had the store open to see how the routing was. These 2 npc's just started playing with the soccer ball I had on the floor. I just thought it was so awesome to see the spontaneous play.
Nope didn't change him thats how he looks in TS3. I have cc eyes and skin is all.
Do anyone else remember the time in sims 2 and even 3 where when your sims had a baby you always checked the eyecolor and in sims 2 also the eyebrow color to see what hair color the child would get? I so miss that... To me its just so lacking that two light skinned sims will get a very white/pale baby, and then it grows up into a child with a darker skin than the baby, because its basically an object

Yes I did that quite a bit. It was like a special preview. I don't know why the Sims 4 babies like hairless dolls. CC does thankfully help with this.

I did that as well! I would be so excited to see who's eyes the baby got and hair color in Sims 2. I still do the same in Sims 3. I also like to see what hair the baby will get since I've installed cc hair for infants. Babies in Sims 4 just do nothing for me. But I'm like 99% sure it's because they are objects, and 1% because they are not cute little bundles of joy. LOL
Bekka really has issues. LOL This is what she did soon as the family got out of the van. I couldn't make the pic larger, but Jessica's face is like; "Getting real tired of your drama, child!"

I already fear, but also can't wait for LiS' fifth episode. After that, nothing i want to play will be published for a while (Fallout is a great game, but not my cup of tea)... and i always need something fresh to play or look forward to...

Goldenbuffy - yes you are absolutely right. I soo miss that. You can't even see the eye color of the babies in sims 4 they're just 'black'
@Anzi130, black eyes = demon baby. LOL I think that's a job for the Winchesters!
The baby skin is from here: http://elys-simsalabim.tumblr.com/tagged/s4cc
