  • I think you missed my points. TS4 is so childish in the fact when I played this game nothing happened at all to the cheating husband (I know there have been a zillion patches to make it more real consequences) they all got along so well I moved in the girlfriend, and they were both pregnant at the same time. Long before…
  • I saw a photo of someone sliding furniture in a Sim room seen on the phone and on the pc screen. How does something like that work? Will there have to be a TS5 app downloaded to the phone, too? I don't play those type games. Strictly pc player. Oh, and I'm wondering since there was that room on the phone screen and the pc…
  • I spent some time rereading Grant's and Lyndsay's statements from recent information. Nowhere that I saw does he say it's offline. What they say is a person can pick up right where they left off from their pc to their phone, no matter where they are. That sounds like online requirements to me.
  • Family Friendly isn't exactly what I think about The Sims series. But there are a few things I would change and it's not the censor over Sims. My vote would be to keep it. This isn't a game to watch stuff like that. However, childish is a good description of TS4 with overtones of sexuality in a very disrespectful and…
  • My answer three years ago was I don't know, I love Maxis, but you know what, I think I do know now. TS5, it's going to be a flat no from me. Hearing about the game being played alongside the phone, the MMO features, it is looking almost exactly like TS4 (leaked pics) as far as buildings, objects etc, world environments…
  • I think most things available are shown in a trailer, however, they are so hyped and staged and fake that most people realize eventually not half the stuff shown is possible or designed to work as they portray. I will try to post a picture or video of the official doctor video from GTW where we see Sims sitting in the…
  • Actually, it's easier to gain a younger generation to mold into the society you want, and if you read EA/Maxis goal to create a better real-life world with games, then not all their motives for targeting a younger generation of Gen Z and this time even Gen Alpha is about money. For any cause EA/Maxis wants to promote it…
  • I know some will rip these animations apart, and I'm not happy about the simulation movements either. But the short video (they are on holiday) was dropped Friday, and I have two points to make. I love the Sim shows an agreeable animation response when the custom question is asked of them. How intuitive is that? But will…
  • Microtransactions galore? Want a recolor, please pay. Want a something to skill up, please pay. Want a go to the beautiful island, please pay. Want a new couch? Please pay the vending machine. :( Seriously, I think there be will these types of micros and if custom creators are in the mix, I think players will be paying…
  • Links are no longer working. Must sign into Twitter if I want to read them. I don't know if others without twitter have this problem or not. Just started today. I wonder if removing the S in Https will post it here?
  • "Free To Enter" sounds like subscription service to me. How else would they make money if base is free, without having a subscription service (Project Olympus) at the start with content already in the wings as we saw on a screen shot way back in the early days of TS4 news. I think they are finally going to bring TS4's…
  • I haven't seen the confirmation that TS5 will be free to play but not surprised. In a recent interview they said they found out the profit isn't in the base game but in the DLC...so, yeah, considering TS4 players buy every EP, GP, Kit, Stuff pack sometimes even knowing it's broken at the get go and or has bugs of the main…
  • I watched the reveal video for Project Rene. I didn't see any reason for Simmers to move on from TS4 (nor older games) to get onboard with TS5/Rene. 1. Everyone oohing over lighting, read the statement on the scene picture...like in all trailers/videos they do, may not be in the game. I always forget their exact quote…
  • Ah, that was way back when I cared enough to ask questions of why the game worked the way it did. I learned a lot from those informative discussions with SimGuruMax. They should bring back the tech thread. I learned why we can't build our own apartments from one of them, because each floor is actually like a different lot.…
  • That sounds great, you should know if you are still supporting them. I just wish I had a new game, now, lol Since Maxis is going to cater to Gen Z and Alpha which is like 10- to 25-year-olds for the next game. Andrew Wilson has made that pretty clear in his interviews.
  • I was a patron but gave up on the support since it's my honest belief there is never going to be actual gameplay. Yes, they have shown many, many things that were quite exciting, however, I might get excited again one day since I have been waiting on gameplay for the past two years and still nothing, Nada.
  • Will someone still on their Discord or twitter feeds please ask them when, if ever will see GamePlay, and not just buildmode and clutter. Anyone can make a 3D model in the engine they are using. We get it, they love making stuff and working on buildmode, but for goodness sake they can't keep thinking people will support…
  • I really, really hope they listen. You have nailed 90% of gameplay.
  • I don't believe this new game will kill off The Sims franchise at all. However, here is what is happening, while Maxis chases after new players, for the first time ever, they have real competition. Yes, everyone likes to point out other games people play, like Stardew Valley or other games like that but those can't or…
  • Dang, I wanted to see what they have been doing in project Rene. :/
  • Have they even said people can play with friends or invite their friends to play? Have they even explained how that works? I think you make a lot of assumptions of what Maxis' idea of multiplayer might be for this game. I don't recall them mentioning it would be a co-op sort of game. Maybe it's just a server world where…
  • I agree the graphics need improved and the characters, movement animations etc. However, the game requires 16GB of RAM. Not even a maybe you can get by with 6 or 8GB but requires 16GB. Do you really believe that is just for the performance of an open world, and memory system etc. or could it be the graphics and character…
  • Never mind. I was going to post a picture of the scene I'm talking about, but it has been removed from the internet and replaced with a different picture. I captured the pic but it wouldn't post and when I go back to find it again it's been replaced. lol ETA: I'll give them some credit (lol) the trailer is interesting; the…
  • The game needs transportation (TS4). It's kind of odd after nine years they add horses but I'm gonna guess they are reserved to one world and probably can't ride one to work or to WB or WC. But then again, we haven't seen any cars in Paralives, either.
  • I had to go to an offsite to see a picture of the expected pack. The horses are too fat. The orange horse (Maxis' idea of brown) with the kid riding it has a horrible mesh. Body mesh looks awful. It looks like the legs were added at the last minute. And... No muscle tone at all. They almost look like a first time modder's…
  • I hope you get all the perks those on Youtube get, because one time a year or so ago I was bored. I wanted to see who was the most influnetial person on this site. It was you. I counted how many threads of people were on the first two pages (relevant/active threads) and between you and one other person you guys had 57 open…
  • Actually, I think hurrying along to get somewhere and to do whatever it is you want to accomplish is your point. Forgive me if I'm wrong. But I agree up to a point that some things are annoying to wait upon. Such as in TS3 I absolutely couldn't stand community lots closing down or not open at particular times. That irked…
  • There's no sheen to the commode and tub. :/ I hope they change the shading.
  • Reading some answers to some of those questions, it seems like we would be the person programming gameplay in our own games. Like the one where they state we add skills/traits to things with the crafting tool. Do they mean a crafting tool that a character uses or is the crafting tool a dev tool that allows us to 'program'…
  • I don't understand the hurry to get to the next level of whatever a player is doing. I suppose it's the completist that enjoy slot popping and transporting their Sims with a click of the button. It's a life simulator supposedly. Contrary to comments here, in TS2 my Sims never waited for a taxi more than a few seconds.…
