  • Thanks for the replies. What confused me is that my sim had around 5 sentiments about her boyfriend, but they all disappeared after the crash. Now there's only one on the sim info page and it's one he has with her (a random one about using the hotpot together). Before, the title relationship icon on the UI would be…
  • It would be pretty cool if they introduced gradual ageing for babies - only subtle size differences like with the way pregnancy works. Each day, they get a bit bigger. If it was only 3/5 stages, it could work. They could be days or if you play on a very long lifespan, two days per stage. Babies are so different month by…
  • I’ve stopped playing Sims 4 because I find it so boring. Even after university dropped, I only played for a few days and then I was bored again. I installed tiny builds, or whatever that pack was called, played for 10 minutes, encountered a bug that meant I couldn’t save or use any build mode options and so quit the game…
  • Update? What update? Of course they're working on an expansion pack, a stuff pack and a game pack. That is not news. No vague timescales on any of them (understandably in current times, nothing is concrete), but what is the harm in just revealing the theme at least? No word on features understandably as things are still…
  • Nice find! I clearly didn't sleuth carefully enough. How strange!!
  • That's what I thought too! That it came from Sims 3. The more I played it, the more convinced I was. I wonder if they've made that soundtrack available for commercial use or whether the BBC are using it illegally (which I doubt). So weird!
  • So I hadn’t planned on buying this till it was on sale, but Friday was payday and after a few too many drinks I caved. Now I regret it! Intensely! It was okay, I was getting into it. I have the master controller mod And changed all the roommates in the dorm using Edit in CAS, to make them the sort of dorm mates I wanted…
  • It is great to have a different feel to the place (like Windenberg and Sulani), but they never should have put that restriction in. If they want to make the game international, then they should make it as broad as possible. Restrictions are the opposite. I’m a Brit too and from my experience, most unis have halls of…
  • Yes, there were a few times where they stopped and uttered something along the lines of "that's not going to go well" or "that won't work" - suggesting they know there are quite a few buggy animations or situations where animations won't work. Whether or not those things can be ironed out is almost inevitable, it's more…
  • Really weirdly big flowers too! Why does everything have to be so big?
  • I'm beginning to buy into conspiracy theories that they have pulled a large number of gurus/game engineers (and money) from Sims 4 packs to put them into developing Sims 5, so they just don't have the manpower to build fully fleshed out packs (well, as fully fleshed out as they ever were with sims 4) anymore. I can only…
  • They didn't even mention kids/toddlers clothing during CAS - wasn't even a mention of them. We've gone from them adding a few token items for kids in other packs to now, they are just absolutely, entirely ignored. Much like many older players feel - utterly ignored. *NB, I hate calling myself an 'older' player, because at…
  • Couldn't watch any more of the live stream. It had got too boring. I'm not sure, for the first time, whether I will buy this pack. The CAS looks brilliant - really good - the BB too may be okay, but they didn't shot it by the time I turned it off, so I don't know about that. The roommate feature too sounds really good, but…
  • The forbidden items in dorms is a terrible prescriptive and restrictive mess. In the UK, halls of residence tend to be tiny self contained flats with a kitchen/communal room and then (usually) 6 single rooms. To restrict this to an American norm by introducing a new forbidden feature to stop dorms having kitchens is…
  • Seeing them side by side is so depressing. The sims 3 just had so much more in it, from bigger gameplay features to small details. Sims 3 was a hot mess on my Mac (I do appreciate how stable sims 4 is on a max!). It just kept crashing every few minutes and by the time university life came out, I could barely play it, so I…
  • I think if it’s due out in the summer like the past years, then it will be a farming/country living pack. With the hints in game, the question posed by a dev a while back on Twitter and the horse coding found in game. It could also add lots of things for all life stages.l and could be a much more family friendly pack.
  • Standing bar tables! I am very happy to finally get those. I hope you can put bar stools next to them. There's also a wall decoration that looks like a London Underground station sign, making this feel more British to me, which I really like (being a Londoner). The new windows and doors look beautiful on the old university…
  • That town looks good. I like the feel of it. They seem to be standing on a bridge or near water? (Seems like a canal possibly between the two sides of that street?). EDIT On second thoughts. That looks like a lane divider in the road. Still looks interesting though.
  • The teaching career is either a rabbit hole career or if it is indeed an active one, it will be a university lecturer/professor role, rather than a teacher. So close and yet so far. There is nothing surprising in this. It doesn’t sound terribly interesting. I kept waiting for a big proper feature (like sports, bands etc.),…
  • Well that sucks. I hadn't heard this. This franchise is clearly dying. 😔
  • Past sims games started development soon after the last one was released. No reason to suspect it’s any different this time around. If they go by their own pattern from the last three games (2, 3 & 4 - though 4 changed from its original design so felt rushed), they will have been working on it for several years.
  • It seems that with each new pack, more and more bugs develop in this game. They put out fixes for some, but many seem to evade the devs’ attempts to solve them (or they’re not trying). It feels more difficult to play now than it did a few packs ago. A lot has started to go wrong in my game that never did before (I play…
  • I'm not excited for university gameplay, but am intrigued by other features that may match my play style more (i.e. the possibility of non-playable housemates). I will also check out the build/buy and CAS features. I have got all packs so far for this game so I am sure I will get this one too, largely for the reasons I…
  • I agree with Simulationname. I find it a pretty sad state of affairs when list after list of desired Sims 5 features are actually features that we had years ago in previous versions of the game but they have since been dropped. This isn't how it ought to be when sequels to games come out. Yes, there are things that the…
  • I would like it to be highly customisable. This is one thing the sims 4 seems to do well (thinking about clubs, calendar, the game/magic/vampire systems). I would like to be able to make three-year degrees the norm. Here in the UK we don’t have majors or minors - you take a specific degree and then choose modules. I did a…
  • A school expansion pack for toddlers (nursery school) up to teens, possibly introducing a new life stage - preteen - and also deobjecting babies and giving them a new developed existence (learning to crawl, learning to sit up and play, weening etc.). Come for think of it, that would probably make two expansion packs - a…
  • Any changes to the current education system would probably entail very few or probably no new animations and likewise, very few or no new objects, so following kids to school is not going to happen in a free update as it would require huge numbers of new animations and objects. If they do tweak the education system, it…
  • I feel there’s quite a lot of ways they could make it exciting/interesting. I’m a primary teacher and I keep thinking of ideas for a school expansion pack. I won’t go into them all here (as I think I once wrote a novel-length post about ideas for a school pack and I don’t want to rehash, as well as this not being the…
  • I’m not surprised University is next, but I am disappointed it isn’t a general education pack. I’m not interested in university-only gameplay and would have been much more interested a school pack for all ages. I doubt we’ll get a school pack now, which is a shame, as we’ve never had one before. I suppose university is…
