  • Why would it be controversial? Answers HQ has a dedicated Sims section which is very active. There are boards on this forum that have been locked and read-only for years.
  • The original Simcity in 1989, first released on a Mac :smile: I played it on one of these: Have played every Simcity and Sims game churned out by Maxis ever since.
  • It may to you and others with similar play styles and opinions but not to some of those who have been wanting a kind of interior design/build career element for a long time, or modular furniture for example. You mention male sims being neglected, that isn't even something I would notice because it doesn't interest me, just…
  • The dictionary definitions are for the word "gameplay" which a lot of simmers seem to use to describe only live mode play and not think it applies to BB or CAS, to builders and sim creators. "Medium-sized packs that add new experiences to play in new thematic ways." - new career (new experience), new BB additions to…
  • That is simply not true and maybe this is why so many get upset over pack features, or what they perceive to be lack of, because they don't truly understand the meaning of "gameplay": From dictionary.com - the plot of a computer or video game or the way that it is played From lexico.com - The features of a video game, such…
  • Guess it depends on your definition of gameplay. Gameplay for a builder is building therefore by definition, it is a Game Pack :)
  • Perhaps reading Crin’s 2-part tweet in full, without cherry picking the bits out of context that suit a certain narrative, would put her comments (which I support 100%) in perspective. Here it is in full: I really wonder why people keep lying about removing their mods. Did they really do it but not properly or is everyone…
  • Ah ok. If you're invested in your sims lives it makes sense and I can see how you may want to take them in the direction of new pack content. Twitter is such a cesspit I agree it would be nicer if content was announced here alongside other platforms, especially as it is the main game forum for chatter. I don't think the…
  • I have to ask..... why? How can you be bored of something you're not even aware of? Why not just play the game as it is and if you don't like it, go and do something else until a pack is released you do like? I'm not directing this question just to you, but also to others who feel they simply MUST know what packs are…

  • New MacBook Air with the M1 chip? Yes, you will be able to play TS4 on it. You will probably need to enable vsync in the game options as some people are having issues with is disabled - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/-WORKAROUND-game-Mac-freezes-on-Mac-with-M1-chip/m-p/9754933#M40222 The new M1 Macs are…
  • What happens if the CC/Mods in the Mods folder they've ripped people off for sold break the game in a future patch and need updating? Will they be checking the 30GB CC works after each patch? Will they be updating other people's content if the original creator, who provided it for free, doesn't update it? Edit - @Mstybl95…
  • Yeah, it's just downright greed but so long as there are people willing to support and pay these people, dare I say dumb enough to, they will keep doing it.
  • That's hilarious. You mean some people would actually pay for that? More fool them. I wonder how much of that 30GB is other people's CC?
  • Learning new things and taking the time to educate oneself is never a bad thing. How did we all learn the things we know? It would be such a boring world if we didn't learn from each other and further our knowledge and experiences. The upcoming compatibility update to the Mac version of the Sims 3 is a current hot potato.…
  • People who don't understand this should take some time out and educate themselves on technology.
  • Guess I have been playing it wrong then, I've always been a builder ever since the day Sims 1 was released. I actually think, from a builder's perspective, that far more emphasis is placed on new CAS items, gameplay features, sim additions, family play, interactions, the list is endless. And there's nothing wrong with…
  • Is there an intended way to play the game? If so, what is it? I'm predominantly a builder and I've been playing since the very beginning, have I been playing it wrong this whole time? :p
  • Yep, maybe people are picked at random? Who knows but SimGuruMrE has stated they do read the forums. Perhaps it would be more productive to explain how you think they should choose people? If you have 2,000 people signed up to the play testing programme, how would you choose 15 individuals to play test that would truly…
  • Anyone can sign up to the playtester programme, it's not that exclusive https://www.ea.com/playtesting There is an age restriction: USA: 14 - 15 years old may attend with a parent or guardian. 16 years of age + may attend alone Canada: 15 years of age and up UK / Sweden: 16 years of age and up FAQ here -…
