I will say that Cottage Living is the best pack for me. The way you can add a lot of challenging fun to the game by applying that lot trait "Simple Living" I think it's called - where you can only make things using ingredients that are in your inventory meaning you must farm, go grocery shopping, etc. for specific…

This, I agree with. They know marketing a shallow game to TS2 players would be a lost cause. :D
-
I won't tell someone to stop playing the game ... but, when someone shows you who they are, you should believe them. There are other studios/games out there that care much more about the art that they produce and want it to be an enjoyable experience for us as much as it is for them. I would rather dedicate my time and…

Why have you stopped? Don't feel like the game is worth it at this point. Have you purchased any expansion, GP or stuffed packs? Everything except for University. Do you play any other iterations regularly? I used to play TS2 a lot, not really anymore. Are you interested in a TS5? Yes. I'm hoping and praying that they can…

TS1: Makin Magic TS2: Bon Voyage Nightlife Open For Business (this one specifically) Freetime UNIVERSITY (honestly, so good)

I've read a couple of posts here, and it seems like everyone is pretty optimistic about Paralives, which is good! I wanted to share something that I have posted on YouTube as a comment multiple times, since most of the naysayers are there, but also so that people here can see things with a little bit more clarity if they…

I'm turning 28 soon. I've also been playing since I was really young. I don't think we're getting "too old" ... I still go back to TS2 and TS3 and enjoy those games. I just find myself playing TS2 and wanting certain features of TS4, and some content as well. But in terms of how the infrastructure is with TS2, it just gave…

I kind of like that ghosts go into tombstones as their "house", kind of like a genie lamp or something. But I also think ghosts function way too much like normal Sims in TS4...
-
@DecusN0vea I also am having the issue that Sims are getting up from the table to go talk to other Sims ... I really wish they fine tuned the group experience so that it isn't interrupted. All they really have to do is that when a Sim is eating at a restaurant and has a seat, make their seating the priority until their…

It's crazy, really. EA is one of the wealthiest companies in the gaming industry, and yet they still seem to be cheap with the funding for the game. It's obvious that EA only wants their margins to grow. As long as fans keep buying these products at the quality and price point that EA is pushing, nothing will change.…

Sims 4 Seasons looks great. However, I want to play the EP first before making a final decision.
-
I agree with a lot of your points. I think TS4 has missed a lot of opportunities ... just like you, I really wanted something in between Sims 2 and Sims 3 in terms of open world - I wanted an open neighbourhood where multiple lots were loaded at once. However, the Sims 4 has always appealed to the simplest form of gameplay…
-
https://youtu.be/I2LjJviqOMM I agree.
-
Lol @ people saying that TS3 had the "perfect" snow. You can't say that TS2 snow was worse just because it was single, closed lots ... for what it offered at the time, TS2 got a lot more right compared to TS3. But I am also wondering why we all forgot about TS1 in this discussion. I think that TS1 is very relevant to this…
-
Yeah, that's what I was stating in my original post. TS2 was closed lots and Seasons was still a great addition. TS4 is more open than TS2, so you will already be able to do more comparatively. OP talked about TS3 being Open World so you could "experience" Seasons in greater depth ... but TS2 had Seasons just fine, and TS4…
-
Didn't bother me in Sims 2. Especially in University ... I don't know, Open World wasn't the be-all end-all for me as it is for some other people. I agree that it definitely adds to the game, but it shouldn't detract from the actual depth of the AI. I think that Open World was a bit too ambitious for TS3 and would have…
-
I think having basic weather/seasons in the base game is ideal. I think seasons is a beloved addition to the game ... I personally wasn't entirely fond of Seasons either, though I am talking about TS2. I loved the addition and it was really cool, but I wasn't necessarily a "seasons" person. That being said, I did turn my…
-
What if they only allowed multitasking for active Sims that the user controlled? Would that make it weird? Or after a certain number of loaded Sims, multitasking is turned off for all the Sims that are populated after. I think there could have been a way ... at the same time, I'm not a dev. I would have preferred to have…
-
I don't agree with "getting with the program" simply because EA decided to move down that path. And the fact that you were a tester picked by Will Wright should add further perspective to your decision for supporting the franchise, since Will Wright had nothing to do with TS3/TS4. I'm surprised that it doesn't turn you…
-
The Sims 2 for sure. 100%. I know there are a lot of newcomers to TS4 that are probably turned off by TS2. The benefit of being able to grow up with TS2 was that TS2 was entirely new. It's kind of like playing a new Mario Kart and then going back to the original Nintendo version. If you weren't there to witness it while it…
-
You're taking the parallel concept too literally. The storylines of TS4 are in a parallel universe from TS1. Bella Goth, Landgraabs, Pancakes/Newbies, Caliente sisters, etc. If its its own version of The Sims, that is fine ... go ahead. Remake The Sims. But don't call it The Sims FOUR. Do it like Star Wars. They remade…

Hi Ea_Mage, some awesome threads in there! I would also like to provide some of my own that I have enjoyed reading this past week:* TS4: Concern for The Sims 4 content structure by @Suihime * TS4: How would you improve teens? by @crazycat_135 * TS4: Concept for a School/University EP by @BiggieCheese
-
Well my suggestion wasn't for you. My point was related to my words and my post, not OP's. MzPigglyPooh stated that they felt like uninstalling the game and going back to earlier iterations. Honestly, I understand feeling that way. I think it makes you appreciate certain things from TS4 - like multitasking, Gallery, etc. -…
-
I would like to have unique voice actors for teens ... I think teens, children, and elders all deserve unique voice acting and those exaggerated styles. Like for children, their voice is fine. For teens, they should whine more, and have a more immature sort of tone. Something that just separates them not only visually but…
-
@MzPigglyPooh Honestly, go back to earlier iterations. I've revisited TS2 here and there. The reason I don't play it all the time is that it feels a little bit outdated. I like the Gallery function because it makes the game feel a lot more relevant. Because even though I don't want or care about an online Sims game, I do…
-
Hmm. I see what you are saying, but I think that the tools that have been implemented in TS4 are much greater than any other iteration. Building has always been enjoyable, but in TS4 it is incredibly easy and intuitive at least for me. I feel like I can do a lot more that I can't from other iterations. I would like to see…
-
Interesting. I find the bugs and glitches annoying as well. There are a few reasons as to why I think they permeate. My first hunch is senior management. Budget cuts, downsizing, etc. Their teams are being mismanaged and perhaps aren't being given enough incentive to put in the extra elbow grease. Grant Rodiek recently did…
-
I really appreciate the fact that you revived this topic. Thanks.
-
If they were to release Seasons & University within 3 months of each other, that would be awesome. But if only 1 EP is in 2018 ... then I don't know about TS4 ... 1 EP a year is kind of lame. I wanted GP's and SP's to add content not replace content. It feels like they are splitting the work they could be doing on EP's…

Mitchell - the one in the black t-shirt - is from an extremely wealthy family. He is the son of a prominent family in the community, and his father built their wealth from the ground up, going from rags to riches. Elijah, the one in the white shirt, comes from a single parent household. His father, Callan, lost his wife…
Howdy, Stranger!
