  • @sam123 can you give me some examples of names that are "not so specific to a particular culture"? I can't think of a single name that would be considered "normal" in most cultures. @Gamer_34567544 there is no "ethnic culture" in the sims coding. as far as the game is concerned sims do not have race and racial attributes…
  • the game doesn't create random sims by ethnicity so it's not going to be able to name people based on a perceived ethnicity. It's just a 100% random roll of the dice looking at the whole pool of available options. @sam123 what exactly is an "ethnically neutral name?" I assume you mean white people names. not sure white…
  • It almost seems like they just test these games on a completely new install every time. They need to have someone actually playing the game for the past 8 years load the new content into their game and see what happens. Sure maybe it works in new install were code hasn't have time to do crazy things in the background but…
  • I had the same issue with a household. Every time one of them when off lot and came back they were no longer married or even friends. I wouldn't realize until I put them to bed and they refused to sleep in the same bed.
  • My trees do this. They all die down to a dirt pile again and grow to a fully fruited tree each year. It's a miracle!
  • I agree. I hope I can still elope without having go to down to city hall in another town. The majority of my married Sims elope.
  • I don't get why everything is and outside stall. They have the ability to make proper inside shops. There are already bakeries-why not build a proper flower shop? I mean who buys their wedding cake and flowers from a food truck stall?
  • The option to elope was the best thing that ever happened to the game. I got so sick of having to buy a wedding arch and stick it in the yard. When you play with aging on there really isn't time to waste on a big wedding, unless you want your kids to be teenagers when you die.
  • My sim is currently leaving the prepared meal on top of the counter top stove so when I tell them to cook something they can't because the dirty plates on the stove top. Now true, this happens at my house all the time, but I don't want it in my gameplay.
  • I'm confused by all these people acting inconvenienced because the sims is adding pronouns, like after selecting a name, and spending 3 hours looking through clothes and redoing hair and make-up on every outfit and removing random glasses the game added to only one outfit (normally the sleeping one), like people who wear…
  • I play legacy so that's a lot of dead sims and they take up a lot of space on the lot. Recently I decided to build an underground crypt and I love it! I build a very small upper building with statues and decorations an a bench and inside is a ladder to leads down into the crypt. only downside is because it's technically…
  • Based on watching Carl play farming is basically it's own job. Sure there are no promotions or anything but I think it would be hard to hold down a job and also run a full functioning farm in game or in real life. Agree that there should have been a new animal care skill--there is a new minor skill for cross stitch.
  • @Sindocat I have never played sims 3. Before the addition of platforms there was a foundation tool for sure I used it all the time and it had a lattice work picture. Thanks, I will try drawing the rooms first and see if that works!
  • I sort of hope rabbits wearing jumpers are optional. I don't tend to dress up my animals. but otherwise it looks interesting. Also looks like more skills for kids. That girl was for sure cooking with mom and cross stitching.
  • Based on the post it looks like it's going to be about living a quite life in the county--I am guessing they will add some sort of farming element and it looks like you can sell produce at least, at a stall.
  • OMG your Sim's only grieve 2 days. I feel like my are 4 days at least which is a long time considered the age span of sims. If every day is roughly a year, 2-4 years is a long time to be sad all day every day after a death. I know the death of a loved one hurts real bad and stays with us, but most people do not spend a…
  • I assume they don't know it's bad because it's not got whatever internal coding label is necessary to know what type of décor it is so when the interaction to review décor runs, they are actually reacting to the things in the room that are actually coded to be things they like, so if the programing says they like the room…
  • I love the fact that I can take a job, steal all their stuff, give them a bathtub and get paid still. We asked for a burglary career and by god they delivered. Two great Careers! You can be an Interior Decorator or a Grifter!
  • The scenery is beautiful and I do like walking down the street and having it not be a blank void, but feeling more real, but I do wish we have at least minimal access to all those areas. I mean, just being able to walk down the train platform would be great! I understanding not every background piece can be playable but it…
  • haven't tried it but likes and dislikes can be changed in game. Try loading them into a house and then opening CAS to change them.
  • @Sharonia actually, they will be quite neutral about it ;-)
  • @comicsforlife If you are a native english speaker you should be able to us context to figure that out. But also, the sim's rarely if ever refers to more than one sim at a time in a pop up and they always provide the icon picture of the sim they are talking about. But in cases where it might be confusing a name can always…
  • @CAPTAIN_NXR7 I think all people are asking for is the option to choose your pronouns in CAS just like you can choose if you are feminine/masculine pee sitting down or standing up/can get pregnant or can impregnate - those were all added to allow people to build transgender or non gender conforming sims. there would simply…
  • Pansexual and Asexual are sexual orientations, not gender identities. You can sort if simulate Asexual with the "unflirty" trait and there is a reward store thing that allows you to have multiple partners without anyone being jealous so pansexual can be created with that. But generally speaking the game doesn't allow you…
  • so still no fix to my sim having like 8 active lifestyles and still being stress out about not going to work even when I have used lifestyle coaching to remove the lifestyle....cool cool cool. I'll just be over here with my workaholic sim's stressed out about not going to work on days they aren't supposed to be at work.
  • @Orangemon you seem strangely obsessed with creating a version of the game that allows/encourages you to be a high school bully/Mean Girl. Do you need a hug?
  • I got the kitchen one and I am frustrated because the corner upper shelf doesn't connect to the shelf next to it. It leave a weird gap. Hopefully the address that but I am not really that hopeful since they just did a patch and all my newborn babies still show the wrong color icon. Seems like that would have been a simple…
  • That is a whole other animation and you know they don't have time for that. Also, while I agree it's normal and healthy it would freak a lot of people with sticks up their bums out.
  • The only issue I have with it is that when my Sim's were living in a haunted house they would automatically come home from school if the terrified moodlet took over. A box would pop up asking me "are you sure you want to bring them home." like I had requested them to come home, and no matter when I pick, they come home…
