  • In the context of what is happening NOW in the community, personally I don't think these issues/topics are of absolute priority. They are handy, for sure, but not when questions about toddlers, EP3, the lack of general content, and worries over the future of the franchise are asked pretty much every single day on these…
  • Focusing on the fourth point here. If you intend to "grow stronger relationships" then I suggest the Sims team be honest. Be honest with the community. Even if you only look at this thread you can see the amount of anger and frustration there is within the community at this time. What you're planning to do over at Gamescom…
  • I watched his video this morning. It actually made me quite sad. Like many others I feel exactly like him. So many of us have been with this series since the very beginning. We all only want the best for The Sims, and seeing it go the way it is going is frankly heartbreaking.
  • But you're missing the point, @Elelunicy. TS4 looks great - but there's 5 lots. So deceiving. So limited. By nature, this game is a sandbox - but we can't even control the size of our "sandbox"? Of course Strangetown is going to look dull and barren -- that's how it's meant to look! It's a desert :p Personally I think if…
  • EA are trying something new with this "theme" - not sure if it is expansion-worthy though. I see what they are trying to do. Many students go on these kinds of trips, and it's a great experience with, dare I say it, a lot of fun. But now is not the time for this kind of EP, EA. This seems to be the last thing any fan…
  • Definitely. I believe they've built a solid (enough) foundation. TS3 base game is buggy and laggy and slow on its own, nevermind expansions. So far, for me, TS4 has been inherently smooth. Forgetting about the irritating loading screens and tiny worlds, I do think with time (ie expansions and content) it could surpass TS3.…
  • Definitely not. Anything that conflicts with the present time period of The Sims deserves/needs its own game - like TSM. If not, it completely breaks immersion.
  • I don't think you're going to regret buying them. They might be strange at first, lots of loading screens etc, but over time I'm sure you'll love both TS1 & TS2. Enjoy :)
  • Wow! A lot of work has clearly gone into this and it looks fantastic. Well done :mrgreen:
  • Oh, I see..thanks so much! I like how they make the town seem a lot busier and fuller even if they are just decorations :) The link you posted just sends me back to this page.. was that intentional? I did a google search and found this, but i don't know if it's the same one you have. edit: actually, wait, the link works…
  • These look great! I especially like the Pinecone Valley map. Just wondering about your picture for Pinecone Valley - I see TS3 rabbitholes... how did you get them in TS2? Are they functional or just decorations?
  • I love your idea. The main menu as it is looks very strange. It doesn't look like a "Sims" main menu - why is everything useful all shoved away in the corners and we're left with, as you pointed out, a huge open, wasted space with animations that we aren't really going to look at? I mean, if you want to watch the sims…
  • I'm glad you're enjoying the game, but I wouldn't call it "money's worth" -- I don't see how TS4 could be worth €60+.
  • Literally nothing is certain since Grant said that, I bet he regrets tweeting that so much. Remember when they confirmed that ALL life stages from TS3 will be in TS4? Things Change :) What an absolute joke.
  • Do missing features count as hints, lol? I mean, there's gonna be some sort of "family" EP soon, there has to be. Hopefully it'll be the first EP.
  • I almost never make the terrain of the world in one go. I'd do a large chunk of terrain and then lay down the roads etc, just to see what it looks like. I know a lot of people work this way too, and others - as aforementioned - work on landscape, roads, then lots. Of course, it's essential to have an image of the final…
  • Thanks so much for this info Lynds :) I really don't know what to expect regards a world tool in the future ... I really did think a world-editor would be given in the base game by now, but apparently not! When did CAW come out again? After WA was it? So it was a little over 6 months I think. Maybe we can expect something…
  • While I do love some of the new additions (roofs, room mobility, and that it's overall more user-friendly [though I really never thought it would need to be more user friendly]), I am severely disappointed about things that were cut and also confused as to why new things were added. Forgetting about Cast and pools, the…
  • The Sims 2 Seasons BY FAR. Completely blew me away... back then, I did not have internet and never researched EPs before buying them (like I do now), so when I saw it on the shelf I was shocked - a seasons EP was the last thing I expected, didn't even think it was possible! Anyway, that just proves how naive - stupid? - I…
  • I don't have all TS3 EPs, so I really can't say for sure. Regards TS2, I completely disagree with the OP that Freetime was the worst. Personally, I think FT brought a new depth to the sims themselves, and I could never play without it. The objects were great and it overall really enhanced gameplay. I think Pets is the…
  • Not how TS4 will want me to play, anyway.
  • gifs etc don't bother me much, but it's the height of signatures that is really annoying me. The gifs don't need to be THAT obnoxiously big. It's even worse when that poster posts multiple times on one page, i swear I'm seeing some of these gifs in my dreams at this stage.
  • I hope so... but I wouldn't say so... world building was the sole reason I played TS3 in the end.
  • I don't really think there's anything you're doing wrong, that's just the way Basic Sell works. It's tough at first - but it's meant to be. When your sim gains a bronze badge, it gets easier and easier. Eventually, with the gold badge, your business is practically made and can never fail. Well, at least that's what it's…
  • Had a lot of fun making this lot. It's my first footprint build challenge and I'm sure it won't be my last! Very enjoyable :mrgreen: I made the lot in my own custom hood. It's called Lakefront Restaurant because.. it's in front of a lake :D No CC. Made with all expansions and a few stuff packs - Family Fun, Celebrations,…
  • I typed out a really long post but I literally can't say anything that isn't, as you say, relative, Lol! :P I understand it being about opinions and "to each their own" etc etc, but that still does not make it acceptable that a guaranteed thing such a toddlers was cut from the final game. When I mean guaranteed I mean…
  • I completely respect your opinion but how could you ever think that taking out something like pools -- which has been in every single iteration of the series -- is somehow reasonable? @Alizatina & @munchie885 & AsiaMomma82 I know I'm not a mod or anything but can ye please stop derailing the thread? You're arguing over…
  • I'm fully aware of this, but my point is that the expectations were not anything.. outlandish. It's not like people asked for the ability to have sims with 5 heads or whatever. Most of the expectations were basic things, such as toddlers, pools, you know the rest ... base game things. That's why a lot of people are…
  • This annoys me, because while I like LGR, his response doesn't really make sense. The majority of things on that list were not promised, sure, but are expected since this is a life simulation game. IDK. Maybe we were just too spoilt with TS3 when we got adequate life stages - y'know, something that is expected in a game…
