Joy, multiplayer. It actually had me up until that, but unless there's a full and complete single player option, I'm just not interested. I'm not interested in competing with people and the microtransactions that come with it. Hopefully when they stop developing for Sims 4, it feels complete. Many people still play Sims 2…
Cheerleading has always (and I'm old) been a serious sport. Group gymnastics and dance. It's been dismissed not because it's a trivial sport, but for other reasons. That said, no marching band/color guard removes probably the biggest population of sports kids from the equation. No theater kids makes me sad. I didn't see…
The EP hasn't been officially announced? I've seen it for preorder on a few sites that you shouldn't buy from complete with the box art, so I figured it was official at this point.
Edit: Just deleting my long-winded comment. I am not a fan of how they look nor a fan of how the official Sims twitter characterized them, but that probably is not a discussion for these forums.
I prefer an open world. The loading screens don't bother me so much (though I spend more time on loading screens in the Sims 4 than the Sims 3). What bothers me is in multi-sim households, there are times where you are forced to focus on only one sim. For instance, if you have a sim in the painting career, they have their…
A much better AI. They need to consult with behavorists and get human-like actions and reactions. They did not make Sims 4 to have a good AI -- they didn't understand that understanding human behavior is more than "well, we KNOW how people react to things!" But since they felt that way, we got an AI that behaves that way…
Could be trait related. Could be outfit related. Sometimes when a sim is in an outfit marked as revealing they'll get mixed reactions like you're getting. It's hard to say without knowing anything about your sim.
I guess I don't understand your point unless you're saying you just wish there were more active careers? If so, fair enough. I was surprised that Ambitions took the doctor career and brought it out of the rabbit hole for outside clinics. However, there were five active careers in Ambitions; doctor just wasn't one of them.…
That's not a fair comparison since doctors weren't an active career in Sims 3. At least compare GTW Detective with Ambitions Investigator or something.
You will be level 10 by the time you finish all the skill challenges, but you don't need to be level 10 for them to start. IMO, skill challenges are very much like Sims 4 aspirations, but a much better system as you're not tied to doing things in a certain order. Non active sims can probably do skill challenges, at least…
I chose limited though I could have comfortably chosen heavy as well. Mods can make Sims 3 run better, so I use the ones that do. That just happens to be a lot of mods.
I play older sims games and I see an AI that makes sense, where the sims behave in ways according to traits rather than emotions. I see emotions play a role in how they react to things, but traits temper those reactions. I see sims who get angry at another sim, but are only angry with that sim -- they don't turn around and…
I would not mind if they did it like the Sims 3 store did, but I guarantee you they would not. Sims 3 store was ridiculously expensive if you bought the cheapest points and never did anything like complete your set. However, part of what made the Sims 3 store for me just fine was combining ads, daily deals, and complete…
This has nothing to do with politics or with the neighborhood stories. It's been like this since game release -- my guess is it's an issue with the game engine and multitasking and the emotion system (which is shallow and lackluster). Sims 3 was set up where once a sexual preference was set, it stuck and it would take a…
"Dare to..." is from Sims 3. And it's both autonomous and cannot be cancelled without a mod or resetting your sim. There are a few things that Sims (including your own) can be compelled to do with that command. Kiss is one of them.
I bought Cyberpunk 2077 instead. I was set to buy MWS along with a kit, but when it came down to it, I could not reward EA with my $$. CP77 is now at a point where it's considered very good for PCs, and since it was half off, I went with it instead. I am Done (with that capital D) with rewarding companies for rushing out…
The 15th anniversary, which the gurus on the forums actually were hyping up a bit, turned out to be a trailer. That's it. An ad. However, they actually released this in the toddler pack: It took a few weeks for them to release the current version.
Well, I've had a crap week so I've decided to buy a buggy video game so I can try to escape for awhile. My choices are -- MWS for $20 or CP2077 for $30. Off to Night City for me!
I never pay full price for early access, and that goes double when talking about a AAA studio. Especially when the studio doesn't warn us that it's early access. Valheim? Yes please. Graveyard Keeper? Of course. Baldur's Gate 3? Heck no, not at AAA price. ANYTHING EA? Why? They're earning enough for a full QA team.…
In Spa Day, the yoga mats and meditation stools have special "instructor" variants that highlight a large section of floor, which allows for a group of regular mats/stools to be in their range. It works fairly well; classes fill up, things start on time and are coordinated and no one uses the equipment outside of class.…
One thing I want to know: will the bride, groom, or officiant do pushups at the aisle? Was the whole too-many-autonomous pushups ever fixed in the vanilla game?
