  • I agree, never delete them, it can cause so many issues! You CAN have your sim give away their IF (in doll form) to another sim using the Give Gift option. That way it transfers ownership to the other person. Not sure if this works if you left them come alive, but it definitely does if your kid never got too attached to…
  • I don't remember my first sims for TS or TS2, probably pre-made ones. For TS3, I believe my fist was a blue-skinned female with navy-black hair named Azura and a 'normal' male with red hair named Rue. They started out as roommates, romanced, married, and had their first child: a blue-skinned, red-haired little girl named…
  • My sims have used the watch kids TV and listen to kids radio thing while pregnant many times. Works best on couch potatoes as they'll stay there and have loads of fun for the whole pregnancy, only wanting breaks for necessities. :D The more time they spend watching/listening, the better the chances. In my experience, you…
  • I gave Sims 4 as fair a try as I could (so many bugs and glitches makes it difficult). But just as I had predicted, without CASt especially, the play experience is not much fun. Add in being forced to play how EA wants me to/jump through hoops, and I find myself with little desire to even play the game, and when I do play,…
  • It was effecting sims living in my towns that had not aged up (CAS-made), with aging off, so I stopped playing. Honestly, I haven't really missed it.
  • I agree with the others, this is so close to how I feel that I may have written it myself! Thank you for taking the time to write it out so well!
  • I understand why Teens were created the way they were; that there was no time to do all new animations for another age group after children, but as a parent I find it creepy that most of the time you really can't tell adults and teens apart in game. Now I know there are some teens that look more mature for their age, but…
  • It also seems to effect sims already in your game. Without aging them at all. I went into three different households in my biggest save and all the YA males had wider jaws, longer faces, and smaller eyes. I left the save without saving. Hopefully whatever they do to fix it doesn't allow this to happen when we load up a…
  • I had hoped they would have fixed the whole thing with townies wearing strange costumes/clothes. It was something that bugged people so much in Sims 3.
  • I really wish they had made the unnatural hair color an option we could have turned off or on. I like to use the unnatural hair and skin colors and I want them to pass to my children! It completely ruins my stories to have their hair changing colors throughout their life. :(
  • I agree. It is all well and good that they are adding ghosts, pools, and careers into the game for free, but at this point EA really needs to do something to get people to want to play the game and show some good will towards the players. They removed so many features to supposedly reduce lag and bugs, but the game still…
  • I'm sure I fall within that "hater" range, though I don't believe I have ever spewed hate towards the game. I reserve my hate for more important real world topics. But I have been actively posting about my disappointment since they first announced that there would be no CASt. All the other stuff just made things worse.…
  • @Kaleniya Please don't take it personally. You are right, the timing could have been better. But in general people are still pretty nice here. Just be yourself and everything will work out. :) Good Luck with your challenge!
  • I had to get a mod for the zombies too, which eventually stopped working. So after that I just set all my worlds to have an almost full moon, all the time. Took care of the zombies and the lunacy, though made the waxing/waning magic levels a little pointless.
  • Magic is real, as long as you believe. That is what I tell my son every year when he asks about Santa and the Easter Bunny. :D
  • I am not sure that playing as humanized-animals really is equivalent to playing as a fairy, genie, or witch in The Sims. Does it even come on the PC? Tomodachi Life, while it seems to have more life simulation then Animal Crossing, doesn't really compare, either. And it looks like it is just for the Nintendo DS. But you…
  • @pguida When did I say that I wanted it first? Or before toddlers? You said you were fine with it as long as it was last or in the store. So I asked why people who love the fantasy element should have to wait until last? You basically had no answer to that except that because you/people who want just 'reality' stuff are…
  • Name a fantasy life simulator that is not a RPG game! The Sims series is it. The Sims has included fantasy elements since the original. Fantasy is part of The Sims, just as real life stuff is. I have to say I am really surprised and disappointed with how selfish and holier-than-thou you are being. At least be honest with…
  • ^ This! So much this! @pguida I personally loved Supernatural! It was probably my favorite EP (though maybe tied with Pets and Generations, hard to choose only one!). Why are my likes so less important then yours? There are plenty of other games that take a realistic approach, just as there are ones that take a fantasy…
  • I am forcing myself to play because one, I said I would give it a fair chance and a certain amount of play time without the other games to color my opinion. Sometimes, things grow on us the more exposure we have to them. First time I ever listened to Tom Waits, I didn't like him at all, but now I love his voice! Exposure…
  • This is not a "fresh and new" feature though. it was a problem in Sims 2 and Sims 3, you would think they'd have figured out that it is annoying. At least in Sims 3 you could use the invisible buydebug lights though instead of having to have your ceiling covered in lights. As Rflong7 said, lighting levels is more about the…
  • I only used the tern "lala land" because you did... not sure what you point was? On to the main point: And how is it "fair" to the person that completely did-over the entire interior of a shell house to get nothing if the builder gets something? Some people like to build and not decorate, others like to decorate and not…
  • This makes no sense, all the other EPs were more or less, realistic (maybe not ITF), for players who liked "normal" play. It is so unfair for those who like fantasy/supernaturals to only get 1 EP dedicated to them? LN wasn't really for people who like supernaturals but more for people who wanted to have their sims…
  • Not liking the game, or aspects of it is not hating! I have been seriously trying to like the game, even forcing myself to play TS4 and refraining from TS3 and TS2, to be able to give TS4 a fair trial without comparing it to the other games. But there are a lot of bugs/issues that keep ruining my play. And I am forced to…
  • It does take time to build a house, or to create a unique sim, or a room. If a creator does not want to share their creation, they don't have to though. If they do, then they are sharing it, not selling it. Your sims get charged for their homes whether they get one off the gallery or if they just purchase a pre-made one.…
  • If you are being charged to simply download lots from the Gallery, then there is a glitch. If your SIM is being charged when you place the downloaded lot on their home lot, then it is working as intended. I am very confused about what you are trying to say here. It sounds like you want players to be "paid" for creating…
  • The compromise, if it would be possible, would be a game with 50% focus on Simulation, and the other 50% focus on RPG. Only it isn't really 50% each because they have to be integrated to work together and/or apart (toggled off). So it is probably more about 30% focus on each aspect and 40% focus on making them play nice…
  • One little tiny QoL thing that would be nice is that when your sims move to a different house, if the default setting was to sell your furniture rather then take it with them. Especially since taking their furniture leaves the old house completely empty! Meaning that before we can expect another family to move into the old…
  • I have been giving Sims 4 one month of play without playing Sims 2 or 3. I try to make myself play a little each day, and I do enjoy making sims in the new CAS a lot (though I would have liked sliders as well to be able to really fine-tune things). Most days my play sessions end up rather short because I get frustrated by…
  • This is so much of what I feel happened to Sims 4. We are being told how to play the game. It is like they decided that we are too unimaginative to be able to be able to create our own stories or play and need to be guided. This is one of the reasons I was so against having Sims 4 be an online social game. The play is…
