I have a gaming laptop but I usually play on steam deck since it’s easier to bring around with me.

I don’t think anyone actually delisted any video. You can still watch them all on the sims channel.
-
9 times out of 10 videos are delisted due to music licensing. Since the premier had a performance that is most likely why it was taken down.

Did you put hampers in the units? I’ve had sims use the laundry room and the gym equipment that I put as shared space

I’ve played around with the apartment building tools to build a condominium type building and for the most part it’s not bad. The residential rental lot type has issues when painting walls and causes the game to slow to a crawl. Haven’t had a chance to play with it yet so I can’t speak for the gameplay. I thought they said…

No offense but this doesn’t make sense. There were tons of open world games released on last gen consoles. Assassins Creed Odyssey, Assassins Creed Origins, Witcher 3, GTA5 … just to name a few and all of those games make Sims 3 maps look very small. Those games also have way more crowd simulation going on across the map.…

For Sims 5 I hope the worlds aren’t connected by default but as an option instead. It can be nice to travel between them, but it’s caused worlds to get progressively smaller and smaller over time. If I have a Sim living in one world I find it annoying having to travel to some completely different region for a basic task…

Well she did say Animal Crossing. That game is an open ended social sim so multiplayer is really whatever you make it.

No problem! Later on I will add another spoiler with the folder path to place mods and cc

@fujicakes1 Yeah it’s a lot of trial and error to get it mapped in a way that feels ok. Now I’ll be the first to say these controls aren’t perfect but I found them decent enough to play the game how I would on PC. I’m sure there are some keys that aren’t in my list but these are the buttons I use. I mapped these controls…

You need to download the game thru steam. You will need to configure your controls unless the preset it picks from the community works for you. Once you login to your ea account you can download your packs. I couldn’t tell if it did that in game mode but in desktop mode if you minimize the game while it runs you can open…

Have any of the gurus said they will be updating the windows? For a feature as large as curved walls I would think a handful is not nearly enough considering the dozens of windows and doors this game already has. I truly dislike this practice of pushing the bare minimum out the door and sporadically finishing it over an…

I think it depends on the structure. If you build a room on a raised platform the walls will remain at ground level with the interior flooring still raised to the height of the platform. This can make placing doors/windows tricky and you’ll have to build additional platforms to act as a staircase. Whereas a foundation will…

Not really sure why a thread about worlds getting smaller is the place to talk about gameplay freedom, but to that point I ask how does Sims 4 have more gameplay freedom? I also don’t really understand your point about limitations. I don’t think Sims 4 has reinvented the wheel in terms of the basic Sims gameplay loop there…

Sims 1 is an important piece of software but canonically it was obsoleted by Sims 2. The developers adopted the lore from the first game and retconned it. This worked in part by taking branched discombobulated lore and making it more cohesive; as a result the world building in Sims 2 was phenomenal. Note I said retconned.…

This is a single player video game where it is my discretion to override whatever I wish. I think it’s blissfully ignorant to equate what I do in my save game to the harsh reality of LGBT people. Sims are not real people and do not face those harsh realities. Enough of that. Sims is an escape, not a reminder. I feel I’ve…
-
Is that a new thing regarding that trait? I’ve had sims with that trait have kids. Just like I have had non-committal sims accept a marriage proposals, and exchange their vows. I’ve had sims who dislike video games go play video games. You see none of these prevent those things from happening and don’t require an edit in…
-
I don’t see why promotion and introduction purposes should become an inconvenience. Again, I’m aware I can edit the sims what I’m saying is I shouldn’t have to do that. This would be a non-issue if the developers would allow a global pansexual option to override their presets. They are unwilling to do that. Meaning if I…

In Sims 2 you can import custom maps, choose an existing new map and you can place and delete lots on every map. In Sims 3 you could create an entire custom world using a free tool, and also place and delete lots in-game. Sims 4 you cannot import maps, you cannot create a world, you can’t add or remove lots, you can’t even…

Sims 4 feels lacking because it is. Sims have one personality type regardless of the traits you give them. Traits mean almost nothing in this game. Emotions make this worse since 2 sims with the same emotion will behave exactly the same. Emotions have a bigger impact of behavior than personality, because sims don’t really…

Internet says this update was made to reverse the whitewashing of characters, specifically Bella Goth and the Caliente sisters. I’m not sure if that is an official Maxis statement or what, but I feel it’s a pretty obtuse claim to make. Bella Goth’s father and brother were white. The Caliente sisters are canonically aliens.…

Ooooo actually that makes a lot of sense So in MTV’s Teen Wolf there is a really old magic tree stump called the Nemeton and it attracts supernaturals to Beacon Hills. Not sure if anyone has mentioned that yet but as a TW mega fan it seems like a clear reference, but it might be coincidence.

They’ve been investigating the bigger bugs for years now; if they are still in the investigation stage they clearly aren’t making any progress. Laundry lists exist to make people forget that *zero* progress has been made on the bugs the community has actually made top concerns. If the devs put as much effort into fixing…

Both SimCity’13 and NFS’15 are reboots. SimCity was literally a dead franchise until EA rebooted the franchise as an online multiplayer game. NFS reboot was an always online game unlike the ones before it. It’s more than marketing that classifies those games as reboots instead of sequels, or spin offs. OSX -> macOS is just…

In-game currency is not a prerequisite to be considered a microtransaction. That is an aggressive monetization scheme used in tandem with microtransactions. Any small transaction conducted online is considered a microtransaction.
Howdy, Stranger!
