  • I completely agree. I don't see the value in piecemeal content that some simmers are now calling "junk food". All those 10 dollar stuff packs add up quickly and end up costing more than a proper expansion pack. We will not see any more hot tub varieties because then it will diminish Perfect Patio's main selling point.…
  • I don't want my M/M couple in Hidden Springs cheating on each other with women just to pass on their genetics. The first adopted child will show up on the family tree with lines pointing to both parents as if they were biologically related. If I adopt a second child then the sim who calls the adoption agency is listed as…
  • Hi, King. I use NRaas mods. I created a new game in Simbourne twice, and both gave me the message, "Error Trap Recorded: 165" upon moving in a single sim on an empty lot. Not sure if that effects anything. Along the riverbanks I do wish there was dirt or stone terrain paint where the water meets land. I like the pier lots…
  • I don't have all the expansions installed for Sims 3, but I still feel like I have a complete game when I sit down and play one of my families. I do, however, own everything from the Sims 3 Store except four worlds. The chickens, cows, bohemian fruits and nuts, tractor, humble harvest stand, and gardening station are all…
  • @Writin_Reg thanks for sharing your story on page 1269. Yours is one that needs to printed off and taped to a Maxis employee's monitor or read aloud at one of their meetings. You know, being a human interest story and all that. It's very sweet that your husband built you a computer strong enough to play video games. I…
  • I wouldn't worry about it, Bev. Most of her posts make me laugh and she knows it. Not in a malicious, mean-spirited way, by the way.
  • It wouldn't matter if everybody just up and left the forums until we're left with a ghost town. 1) EA's already got your money, 2) SimGurus prefer communicating through Twitter, and 3) I like it when you're sassy. It comes down to reassurance and the official forum doesn't provide what they're looking for. It's been like…
  • Signed. Not because I think petitions will get anywhere (they don't), but because Drake wanted proof for the number of people unhappy with EA/Maxis' current vision for The Sims 4. The random stuff nobody asked for (one whole stuff pack dedicated to Halloween. Seriously?!), broken/cheap/lazy mechanics (looking at you, Get…
  • I disagree with those who say stuff packs should be the future of The Sims 4. Sure, they only cost 10 bucks and you can pick and choose which packs to buy, but remember that you're only getting two new premium objects per SP. Let's use Sims 3: Late Night as an example. You've got hot tubs (not exclusive to LN because you…
  • I saw that along with her speech about data usage. That's why I asked her about Cool Kitchen Stuff and Movie Hangout Stuff's identity crisis. If your data tells you, for example, everybody uses the exact same kitchen and TV models, then you'd take that opportunity to create more variety and related content for said themes.…
  • Riverview. I played in it a whole lot more than I did with Sunset Valley back when the game first released. Then when Seasons came out I fell in love with the world all over again. Billy Caspian is my favorite townie to play as. Some random sim made this snowman right in front of the store. I thought it was cute.
  • It still doesn't explain why EA/Maxis thought Cool Kitchen Stuff should be less kitchen stuff and more CAS, or why Movie Hangout Stuff wasn't about setting up your own home theater, but rather selling us a whole bunch of Bohemian decor. Now with yet another backyard-themed stuff pack on the horizon I don't know what to…
  • I agree. The baby teleporting away every time their parent(s) went to work was bizarre. And don't forget artist sims. In The Sims 3 the sims grab their paintings and toss them into the air. In The Sims 4 the sims make a swooping animation with their hand and that's it. Since I can't trust EA to make basic, fleshed out…
  • ^ I know that's a jab at me because I posted about it the other thread. I also explained my reasoning for saying what I did. We lived through several months only having Like and LOL, but somewhere along the way people started interpreting LOL as being mocked or laugh at. I pushed LOL because people made me laugh no matter…
  • Just proving my point that people will still find ways to troll the buttons. There, I said it. Go ahead and Insightful me. The only way I see this situation resolved is for all the buttons to be removed. I couldn't care less if I came here one day and there was nothing to push.
  • Same here. Actually, I've been doing it for a while now. Anytime someone says something completely pointless, stupid, or both I press Insightful as my way of showing sarcasm.
  • You know, the more someone complained about getting disagreed, the more likely I'd disagree all their posts. I loathed those who made it their constant mission to lecture others not to press Disagree, and/or tell me I have no life for pushing the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 button. Seeing a grown man cry because he got a LOL on one of his…
  • I decided to give Sims 4 a third chance. My sim had a son named Dean. I aged him up to a child and bought the chemistry set to raise his mental skill. Dean's father went to work and school didn't start for another 24 hours. Right when his father leaves the lot the chemistry set catches fire. Fire spreads uncontrollably…
  • Reg, I have a confession. All those random LOLs you got on your serious posts? Those were from me. o:)
  • You know it's a slow day when we're all arguing about the removal of buttons, rather than talking about The Sims 4 in "General The Sims 4 Discussions".
  • I'm upset too. I LOL'ed all your posts and now they're all gone. Vanished. (I actually don't care either way)
  • Slightly off topic, but does anyone know what happened to Ryan Vaughan? Did EA lay him off or did he quit? If it was the latter I'd respect him a whole lot more. I once had a job where I had to do things against my personal beliefs not in the job description. My higher ups said, "Check your conscience at the door." It was…
  • @Rflong7 I feel the same way. I tried playing Sims 1 again and hated the primitive camera controls. Sims 2, I couldn't stay interested for too long. Sims 3's super long loading screen at the beginning turned me off too. Someone told me I can backup all my Sims 3 content from my Origin library and then uninstall Origin. I…
  • Thank you for writing the article, Spark Fairy. Makes me wonder if any Maxis or EA employees will bother reading and commenting on it, or hopefully revive Ask A Guru.
  • Last year when we still had Agree and Disagree someone went through my post history and hit Disagree anywhere they could. I didn't cry, but it was creepy someone would stalk me like that. Personally, I am glad they changed Zagadoo back to Disagree. I am grown up enough to understand that not everyone, especially on the…
  • I am not surprised Miss Franklin would say something like this: Sims 3's open world was a great experience and encourage me to take a sim or two to explore the worlds and pick up bugs, rocks, and whatnot. You can do the same in Sims 4, but the neighborhoods are all so small anyways, there's not much to explore after you've…
