Ah, I didn't realize, I assume that would be a Flemish Dutch then? (I apologize if I'm wrong here...) I fell into a wonderful discussion with someone from South Africa the other day, and apparently Afrikaans is also very similar to the Dutch language. Their literal translation for a Giraffe is Camel Horse....and seriously,…
Yeh I can confirm, I’ve successfully completed this mystery many times without interacting with any of the premades. I either delete or ignore them or sometimes I try to slap’em silly just for the laugh but that’s just me. Be warned: If you delete the premades, Infected pear shaped NPCs WILL spawn.
Some of my favourite Dutch words are “patatje oorlog” ( literal translation in US English = little war fries 😆) and “eekhoorntje” (literal translation =….??…(someone help me out here)...but apparently it means ‘wee little squirrel’). I love that there are so many diminutive words in the Dutch language. Pretty impossible to…
I play in a very similar fashion. I evict or delete most pre-mades, whether or not there’s some kind of lore tied to them. My towns, my lots, my sims, my stories. These characters are just there for players who want to start off with an established narrative. Don’t worry, it’s not going to break your game, that would be…
But do we know what these sims actually talk like? I didn’t hear anything. The conversation system itself can be in any language that is supported by the game. Written conversation in the Sims is also translated from Simlish to something more comprehensible. If Paradox is going for localized voice overs, I assume they will…
How are we doing with the infants….? Hmmm…good question. I have ‘fear’ of infants, both in game and IRL. No, the comments on here aren’t very encouraging. 😆 My first challenge is to move one of those babes from CAS daycare (oh they’re absolutely cute ‘n all) into live mode (yelp!). I’m decreasing my sim’s woohoo drive for…
I appreciate this very personal opinion. 😅 On my list of ‘BIG’ features, hotels is probably somewhere near the bottom. That said, I would actually like my sim to be able to run a wee B&B or a creepy inn that’s part residential, part guest accommodation….😈 There should be cross-pack compatibility with Dine Out too so that…
I pre-ordered for early access so that I can explore and utilize the tools and offer feedback. I deem this level of open world customization very necessary for my gameplay style, and from what I’ve seen and heard LBY ticks almost all of my personal life sim boxes. I‘m a huge fan of Sims 3’s CAW tool, so with any luck…
Open world is one thing, but they had me at 'activate direct control mode'. I'll be able to personally drive the vehicles in that game: accelerate, decelerate, vroom vroom…🥹 At its current state I can't say that I find Life by You aesthetically pleasing, but this will hopefully change! I'm curious about the behavior of…
Ah ok, so it’s literally written into the game. There’s nothing Mr. Smartarsh over here can say about that then. Good for Celeste & Fam! Going by the description it makes even more sense that Maxis didn’t make a big deal out of it. The fact that Celeste is now getting all this extra special attention just for being trans…
I almost agree, however, the bolded part sounds a bit too on the nose for me, so I’ll take this a step further: I’m glad Celeste wasn’t promoted as being one thing or another, that way we can make up our own minds about who this sim is or what she ‘identifies’ as if we so choose. Sure, some may recognize her as being…
I ended up buying Growing Together, mainly for its compatibility system and kids related gameplay (I needed more interesting stuff to do for my group of wackadoodle 5th graders). I haven't had a chance to deep dive into the pack yet, so I will come back and rate it at a later stage, however, I can already say with…
Personally I’d choose the rock precipice in the Selvadoradan jungle, the one that juts out from the mountain with the freezer bunny carved into the floor where the Trees of Emotions grow! Perfect vista all ‘round & an excellent spot for popping the famous question. Plus, Kiyoshi wouldn’t DARE reject Callisto’s…
I’m trying to remember how many born- in -games I’ve had over the past 7 years… 3. I had 2 boys, which I didn’t tweak at all, bar hair and clothing. In both cases the game auto- generated CC skin-details, so I kinda ran with that. I also have a girl. When I aged her up from a baby object into a wee toddler, she had this CC…
I installed this mod before but it didn’t work for me, even though I keep everything up-to-date. That said…I recently binned most of my saves due to corrupted save data, so I’m pretty sure that might have been an underlying issue. I’ll try it again with hopefully better results. Player rage no more! 😅 Cheers! Absolutely,…
I wouldn’t want to play the game without Season’s weather system and all the occult packs, but I’m biased. I need a combination of severe Thunderstorms and the Occult. 😈 I love ALL the Supernatural packs, including Paranormal & Strangerville. Great CAS & BB all’round. ✨ I’d also consider getting Cats and Dogs (if you don’t…
I get what you’re saying, I keep hearing the same names and seeing the same kind of builds. I consider it to be both convenience & “celebrity” branding, nothing else. Then again, I don’t pay too much attention to it. I’m a builder and personally I don’t really care. I look at the builds, acknowledge that they’re there,…
@Serendipity38 , Reinstalling the app or clearing the cache might help: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/Can-t-launch-EA-Desktop-it-gives-me-a-quot-Something-went-wrong/m-p/10780602/highlight/true#M4757
I doubt the game will be online multiplayer. Showing too many sims (cims?) in LBY’s very first sneak peak might be too overwhelming for the audience (I admit that sounds like utter nonsense) plus I think these pixel people are still in development. Nothing looks final to me. They merely want us to see the world and some of…
Hmmm...a rather astute observation…🧐 In all fairness now, I was able to follow you pretty ok there: I believe it had something to do with a lethal staircase made out of trees, a city skyline that looks like a bus, a pink ceiling fan that generates dogs and love hearts and it being too cold for doing beach yoga on a…
Great stuff, and I love New Moon Wagon! The 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 Wagon is one of my favorite rabbit hole career objects in Sims 3 (gorgeous little tune too) and I had to have one in every save. Fortunetellers are very necessary. I downloaded your wagon ages ago but forgot that YOU created it. Your gallery name is different, hence my…
I remember that interview with Rod Humble and this is exactly what got me excited about the game. He speaks of an open world that you can interact with and explore, pretty much without limitations. A bit of healthy competition in the life sim genre is necessary right now so that companies are forced to keep raising their…
