  • Thank you! I thought I was the only one having prom come up even though it not supposed to be until the following week according to the calendar - searched the forums/help centers and no one else was reporting it.
  • Ugh agreed, it just aggravates me that the bring back features from other games the community has been begging for and then just put out some half-baked feature that's repetitive and even if you like it, objectively speaking, it needs work. What is so wrong with waiting another month to put this out, or however much time…
  • Same here! I wasn't experiencing the celebrity bug, didn't have the aging bug (or didn't notice, I play on normal lifespan), etc. But NOW, I have the celebrity bug, teens are asking adult sims to prom (eg asking the parent of the teen they are friends with), prom happens but it's not supposed to according to the calendar…
  • I hoped this life stage would be addressed in Discover University - I would have liked to see aging turned off or transitioned to a specific young adult/student life stage instead of cutting into the normal life span. Of course, you can attend university at any age not just young adult, so maybe a student specific life…
  • For EP - supernatural. It's not something I personally play with a lot but it's aways a fun addition that gives you an opportunity to change up gameplay. Plus, a large portion of players have been asking for this content for years and I can't think of another concept that would fully fill an EP. Stuff pack - I would love…
  • I can spend a couple more years with the game but mostly because I don't want TS5 to be a rushed, half-baked mess like TS4 was. If they're going to have an online component (which will likely be the case) I want it to be a separate feature that works with no bugs and will have no impact on traditional game play (playing…
  • I agree - a lot of the townies that spawn wind up having the same facial hair (my game loves that twirly mustache). Layering would definitely be nice, also having the ability to change facial hair per outfit - something like a 5 o'clock shadow for sleepwear but clean shaven for everyday? Or maybe they grow a beard in the…
  • Now that I'm thinking about it I can't name a family with a teenage son other than the Munch family in Windenberg (I know I'm definitely missing some). I'd say that neighborhood has the most teens in general because of the clubs. Oh! and lest we forget Malcolm Landgraab. Yes there is more content for females but I know…
  • Maybe this doesn't matter but the new one looks to have content that's not in the base game - objects and cas stuff (jewelry, baking, photography?) - I could be mistaken. But would that be considered false advertising? Maybe it doesn't matter. Also it might just be me but some of the sims look poorly rendered, especially…
  • I dislike the new colors just as an aesthetic preference but I think I have a bigger problem with this new "+1000 new objects" claim; from the stream it looked like these items already existed in the world that have now been unlocked in b/b - not new. It's nice they have become unlocked without needing to use mods but from…
  • The loading screen blue looks very flat and I truly dislike the royal blue color they added to the title. The white looked clean and modern and I'm definitely going to miss the icons and their original colors. I feel like there are other ways to show your loyalty to the game and players than redesigning the home/loading…
  • I do wish it was like Sims 2? Where you could invite over the headmaster to get into private school, or be shipped off to military school. I think you could go to boarding school in the Sims 3 if I'm correct...TBH shipped some of the kids off when there were too many sims to take care of in the household
  • I switch back and forth. Right now, I'm in a CAS mood, so I've been creating a bunch of townies (to combat the horribly EA generated ones). I found I really like adding the backstory and it really helps diversify the kinds of sims I make! Gameplay is sort of so-so for me at the moment so I'm happy in CAS :blush:
  • I agree I think it's a little weird to have 4 different litter boxes but no dog house or variety in pet beds? I'm still learning things about the new EP but I'm a little surprised at some of the choices that were made.
  • The fact that we can't control the pets themselves really breaks the immersion for me. I'm not so interested in designing a pet with every tool and color under the sun if I can't command itself to get some food or go to the bathroom. I didn't realize you couldn't control the pets (my own fault, didn't do a lot of reading…
  • Here's an update! I took Marcus to the new park with some of his friends to test it out. He completed the comedian aspiration so now he's doing the friend of the world aspiration (those titles may be incorrect). Almost finished with it, he only needs 4 more friends. Ok, this happens a little too often, it might be a glitch…
  • @Heckstress17 I reuploaded the lot so it should be on my page (lapatronne), named Wolfe Park (wildly creative I know). I'm sorry about the romantic garden stuff! I think it's just the fountain and maybe a flowery plant I used a couple times, maybe those round planters but those might be from perfect patio. I don't think…
  • @debjameswhite I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm glad that you can find some comfort here and in the game. Thanks for posting your update, it's great. I'll need to look at your family tree, but again I have to say your sims' lives are so interesting! It seems like Lawrence and Corabelle have a great love but at the moment…
  • I read through the most recent posts but I seriously have some catching up to do! @Tellex I never use Granite Falls (I seriously think I've never taken my sims there, and your screenshots make me want to try it out! Thanks for the inspiration :) I understand the box situation -those small lots don't allow a lot of room for…
  • @OJenn congratulations on your job! That's so exciting you get to work in a field you're passionate about, that's the dream, isn't it? :) @JordanNicoleJJ your triplets are so cute. I've never had triplets in the game, I have had twins, but that was when toddlers didn't exist so it was much more easy to manage than three…
  • @debjameswhite I'm loving the houses you've built in oasis springs! Your interiors are great as well! It's really cool to see everyone's updates, especially with toddlers as I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. I've been very busy with university but I hope to post updates this week (if I can even remember where I…
  • @Rawla your sims seem like they have a lot of personality :D I too had an interesting woohoo situation..two randos at the country club just went into the spa/sauna thing and were WOOHOOING like this is a PUBLIC FACILITY I didn't even know sims could woohoo in the spa. I wish they wouldn't lol....Here's the pic: In other…
  • @Meeshelby thank you!! :) @Heckstress17 Emmy is so cute! I haven't had the chance to actually play with a toddler yet because I'm going to try and wait until my heir has children. I'm excited to see what you do with Oasis Springs. Can't wait to see the founders! I've spent the last few hours of gameplay building. It takes…
  • @OJenn congratulations! :) @debjameswhite awesome pictures!! I'm still playing with my founders, and their only child has now aged up into a teenager. I'm excited for the next generation as I will get to try out the new toddlers! I was kind of dumbfounded when I came to this website yesterday and toddlers were on the…
  • I'm sorry I feel like I'm spamming the thread with my posts but I have a lot of free time at the moment to actually play TS4. Edie is pregnant! Checking in at the hospital... It's go time and Marcus doesn't seem prepared... Tatum (baby boy) and Marcus bonding. (I had to add on to the house I built to move the master…
  • Okay, not even one minute into gameplay and a fire's started. What the heck Marcus.
  • I've built the Wolf's a house and I decided they wouldn't live in a shabby place after all. I did choose the smallest lot in Willow Creek, but I figured Edie is too glam to have a boring house. I had to cheat with the money quite a bit but I figure the tiny size makes up for any nicer furniture or decoration I added. I am…
  • I agree! it's these items and walls/floors that make the game feel more in depth and personal. To me the Sims is all about creating stories about your sims and their life, and being able to build and decorate the environment to match your story makes it all the more fun. To a lot of simmers TS4 seems very impersonal and…
  • From what I remember the military career has been in every sims base game since the TS1 (although I had TS1 Complete Collection so I don't know what stuff came from what EP, so I could be wrong on that one). I like how in TS1 when you reached a high enough level a tank just rolled down your street as your carpool in the…
