I agree with you. The only thing wrong with the Island Paradise EP was the world Isla Paradiso because of the routing issues, but EVERYTHING else works right out of the box. Meaning all the features of that EP work in other worlds, Maxis-made or fan-made. So people who have this EP can either: * fix the world themselves *…
Meh. How many times have they lied to us to make a pack sound good only to be sorely disappointed? Until they actually say that TS5 WON'T have multiplayer online with competition and microtransactions galore (including them profitting off the modding and CC communities' work) and that TS5 indeed doesn't have those things…
EA is very weak when it comes to keeping their online games clean and hack-free. Did you know that one of their online games got hacked to the point that it's unplayable? And they still keep selling it! The video below explains about Titanfall, how a player was rejected and became the game's #1 nemesis. He became a hacker…
It sounds like a superhero or sci-fi simulation. If this is the online multiplayer competitive game that EA is pushing for then I'm totally fine with that - as long as they don't touch our beloved The Sims main franchise! I can see where competition can be had in this new IP and I can see this as a survival game as well…
I can definitely play The Sims, especially The Sims 3 without DLCs, but I really like having as many options as possible. I didn't do that for The Sims 4 because it gets even more buggy with every new DLC, but I bought ALL the DLCs for The Sims 1 through The Sims 3. I would have to say that I enjoyed all of the DLCs for…
That's not true that he has says "yes" to every suggestion. A lot of times they say that a suggestion sounds exciting and they will consider it. To keep track of what progress they've made and what they will be working on next, you can just visit their official Paralives website. But for immediate recent info, visit their…
Maybe none of the Patreon members comes here? You can ask the Paralives devs on their official website. There's a Contact page where you can email them and ask. Also try asking them on their Discord channel. So far, I have not seen any mention of a beta release in early 2021 anywhere.
Have you gone to the Paralives website??? They DO outline what their long term goals are, the features they want to implement, where they are on the long road to completion, and what progress has been made so far. You act like they don't say anything at all as if they're being dishonest when it's been there on their…
Do I think she's lying? I think she was sore that she got fired so she said things to try to bring Paralives down with her. For a project this big, I don't think developers would post a long term plan because people can twist it somehow. Even Maxis doesn't do this and we don't question it. What the Paralives dev team has…
I'm fine with that. I just saw a good opportunity to clarify the issue about Roxane. She got fired because of her unprofessional conduct and instability so she tried to smear Alex by saying that he didn't have a long term plan or wasn't implementing live mode fast enough. But this is a project that is going to take quite a…
I did some googling as you suggested and I did find her tweets. I think everything should be laid out here as I think this is important in regard to Paralives since there are a good number of people planning to buy it vs. TS5. https://www.rollnplay.com/paralives-update-maggie-reveal-roxane-fired/ Reading her tweets, she…
I don't care about the game anymore. I'm posting here though because what I'd like to know is why does anyone still cares if TS5 comes if it's going to be online multiplayer with competition and microtransactions galore? Why care about it if it's going to be lazy and a lot of cut corners? I really don't have a lot of faith…
Why should Paralives be rushed being developed by a small game studio when Maxis, a much larger game studio with more resources, has been dragging their feet regarding The Sims 5 for the past seven years? I'm willing to wait and see how they do on parafolk AI and other game mechanics. I've got my beloved TS3 and other…
I knew they were using UE4. UE5 would use more computer and graphics card resources, raising the computer requirements too high. EA/Maxis would want the game to be available to as many computers as possible, so UE4 is a better version to use.
Jovan Jovic who wrote the article looked up what lotus means: I think that's what Maxis would like it to be, but you know EA will just come in and mess it up somehow (force in online, multiplayer, competition, loot boxes, and other kinds of yuck).
No worries, I tend to promote open world regardless of who I'm responding to! :) Now to my general promotion of open world for the rest of the readers and to EA/Maxis: I'm pushing for open world, because it would include smaller neighborhoods for those who want it. But if it is only small neighborhoods, then it cuts out…
I got the TS2 UC from Origin during the time it was being offered. I got the My Sims from Origin about a year and a half ago. If you have the disks and serial numbers for your copy of TS2, you can try. I hear that occasionally you can still get the Origin version - it depends on the customer service person you get and how…
Open world doesn't cause lag, it's improper routing which is fixable. Even when I had my old 2014 game, the worlds ran just fine as long as the routing was fixed. Even the Isla Paradiso world from the Island Paradise EP had very little lag when that world was fixed. So it would be great if TS5 has open world with…
Maybe you should try asking Origin customer service anyway? Because you already paid good money for the physical disks long time ago - it's not like you're getting the game free. You could ask them if you can register your copy on Origin and see what they say. I'm saying this because I had bought the physical disk of My…
I agree. I'm kind of curious and interested in how Win 11 will improve on Win 10. But just to be safe, I bought an external hard drive and made a backup of my whole computer in it. JUST IN CASE, lol!
