I read about the upcoming Windows 11, less features seems to be the norm for MS. They will be removing MS Paint in the upcoming OS rumored to be released Oct. 2021. There goes another feature I have used for years for many different editing purposes and or just to monkey around and draw or play with Paint. They will leave in Windows Paint 3D..which I never use...thanks MS, you and EA have a lot in common...less for more.

  • Open for Business doesn't exactly work that simply. The game has a lot of surprises if you are just thinking all townies can afford everything. First it depends on your business level. Around level 5 some richer townies will start showing up. Even a few of your own played Sims who may have more money than a homeless…
  • I was looking at the UI in the game footage and it seems we are back to moodlets and buffs in LBY, too. :/ What I noticed was the buff/moodlet didn't match the facial expression of the 'sim' in LBY, either, just like in TS4. I don't like moodlets, it's why TS3 was never as endearing to me as TS1 and TS2, but open world and…
  • :) Not really here just checking what's next for Maxis, and I see not much info on TS5, yet.
  • I hope you don't mind me responding to your comments. I have felt for a several years Maxis has lost their way with the 'whimsy' and find little of it in TS4. The direction of the game left me a long time ago. Ron Humble is literally giving players every tool they use in the game to build the game. That is epic. Imagine…
  • I'm super excited for this game. I was so impressed to see we can create our own conversations with the creative tools they are putting in this game. Customization is going to be monumental past those of The Sims 3. I'm not a quest player in life simulators, however, I loved The Sims Medieval so as much as I don't like a…
  • I'm not impressed with the exact same look as TS4. I don't actually like TS4's art style and graphics. I tolerated them. But not my cup of tea for art style. The pics on that big site, looks just like TS4 to me. It's very hard to believe they just began work on TS5 if they have a whole world, apartments and decorations and…
  • Messed up the quote can't delete drafts. Never mind.
  • What I have seen so far from the leaked pictures makes me even less interested in TS5. I don't understand why Maxis has not asked one of the really big sites to take those down. Because honestly seeing where Sims might live in the new game and the type of housing is very disappointing to me. Because of this I can only…
  • Corrupted files can exist in the wifi connection program, too. If you want to solve it without reinstalling Windows you can run sfc /scannow in the elevated comman prompt and or the DISM if it doesn't find the corrupted files and repair them. Also, if you've had a recent or earlier update from Windows concerning Game…
  • Yes and No. When I moved over to TS2 from The Sims I was very bothered by the fact Sims didn't have anywhere to go except the grocery store and some neighborhood pinball place out in the middle of nowhere. (Base Game). Coming from a game that had Hot Date, Vacations, and other community lots to visit I was desperate to…
  • The answer is right there in your screen info. Stop Code Critical Process Died is written at the bottom of your blue screen. If you research that it means Your C drive is corrupted with corrupted files. Try reinstalling Windows 10 or you have an incompatible program or driver installed. Best to reinstall Windows without…
  • Since the last time I checked Paralives 'Roadmap' I decided to take a look to see if anything had been completed in Live Mode. Nope. Since April the four same projects are still in progress and Unfortunately the Same 44 projects that have to be finished before Early Access have not even been worked on or updated. The 44…
  • What we have seen so far with TS5 is sort of interesting and again not so interesting to me. What we do know is there is a way to share objects with others. Like an in game Gallery? I think many, many players will like that in TS5. It seems apartments are shells, if they are shells (all is subject to change) could just be…
  • I have a long laundry list of why I won't be purchasing TS5. I longed for the day they would start to work on this game, as I was tired of TS4 over five years ago. 1. I'm not interested in a game that may continue over on my phone. This means cloud servers and cloud saves. This means watered down graphics (if true) so a…
  • This is my 'speculation'. Can a game really just have started its early stages if they already have beta testers for the Workshop? Food for thought...if that workshop includes things like creating objects for a game and allow those testers to share with others, wouldn't animations have to be already created for most of…
  • Since EA/Maxis is inviting Simmers to play test their Workshop demo where you can build your own content for Project Rene (The Sims 5) and get rewards for doing so, does this tempt any of you to try to get on this list of players who will test the Workshop? And does it change your mind about getting on board with TS5?…
  • Since TS5 (Rene Project) has been officially announced now, I think this thread should be moved off topic and into the Rene Project category. @EA_Cade
  • Hello, I didn't think I would be back,(burnt out on this TS4 social experiment) but I guess I owe it to this thread to at least comment on what I think about the new Rene project. (The Sims 5). I hope Paralives had the good sense to copyright their development tools. But they probably didn't. So, now we have seen a sneek…
  • I absolutely understand you. However, until EA/Maxis stops the tag line and patting themselves on the back for how inclusive and 'diverse' they are and catering to only those they favor, then I will keep requesting they actually become inclusive and diverse include the rest of the world out here. It seems to me EA/Maxis is…
  • Hotels or motels work just fine in the mainhood. (For the played Sim). I've been using them for years in mainhoods and subhoods (like Bluewater etc.). But Can't book a vacation at one within the mainhood, for your played Sim. If you invite a Sim to go along they will leave when arriving at the lot. Such as a fun outing and…
  • There are over 50 packs and no food processor? lol. Yes, EA go ahead and make a pack about small kitchen appliances. What's another $10 or $20 and another 80 packs. In reply to the OP, I agree. I hated the opening splash screen changes, I hated the rebrand, I hated the linear gameplay introductions into some packs. I hated…
  • They have a few things done but not enough in my opinion to have even mentioned early access possibilities at this point in time. It got everyone excited that it might be coming 'soon'. When what they actually have finished with live mode is a few animations about using the toilet (done over a year ago) and a few eating…
  • I agree with most of this. If TS4 is going to be the Simself game rather than some silly, exaggerated life mimic, then yes, it will never be inclusive until it is actually inclusive.
  • Sims in TS2 will do this themselves. Like if they need to eat, pee and sleep, they will reorder to drink coffee first. Smart. lol
  • I'm almost tempted to change my original reply to this thread, but I won't. But if I did change my answer it would be my biggest gripe about TS4 would be it's community. Complaints for 8 years and still they keep buying. Why should EA/Maxis do anything when they make billions (true) off of TS4 when the community keeps…
  • None at all for TS4. Several in the older games. Some of my Sims have lived twenty years in my older games. It's not like they are going to die or get hurt and or be upset too long in TS4. If Maxis thinks it's ok to just delete the mom, dad, kid, brother, sister or whomever, why should I be attached to them? Just delete…
  • I was really wanting to see the Parafolk actually use the bathroom (they cut off the animation as he went to the commode) and all the other actions that were in queue. Like eat, etc. I'm glad they are working on the UI but there are still 44 items they have to finish (according to their roadmap) before early access. And…
  • I never did see where you listed the brand of your video card in your pc. I solved my issues with radio signals/tv signals appearing while videoing the outside and neighborhood by setting the camera pics and video to high uncompressed. Never had to do that before but my problems started back in Windows 7 with the TS2UC…
  • I was going to post the update the other day, but you beat me too it. lol :smirk:
  • No not a Maxis bed but low energy and comfort. 1 comfort, 2 energy. No special bhavs. And as I said it's not happening to his wife sleeping beside him. She's not employed so I'm not sure if she would gain fun and social at work. They have since moved to a new home and still happening. Not even the same bed this time.…
