  • Ohmygosh please! This bothers me every single time I go into Build Mode.
  • I like to try out lots of different games, and don't see why I have to limit myself to just one life sim game. I'm looking forward to trying LSW.
  • I voted for live rhymes with five on accident, but I always pronounce it live rhymes with give.
  • I know a lot of people don’t mind that they do this because hey others can get content for free so what’s the big deal. For me, I just think it’s weird that EA does this, and it shows a lack of forward thinking. If you wanted to make all worlds vacation worlds, you should have considered that years ago when you first…
  • Get Famous also could have added a Filmmaker career on top of the Actor career. And the world could have been bigger. Cats and Dogs will always be a missed opportunity for me just because it’s so limited to cats and dogs as pets, and there are no small pets. Just by naming it Cats and Dogs they’ve already indicated the…
  • It’s interesting that the Creepy Crawlies lot trait isn’t part of this considering a Sim can become poisoned and potentially die from being bitten by a Creepy Crawly. I guess it’s cool that they’re freeing up slots for the lot traits. Is the Challenges system only going to be in CoL but cross pack compatible or is it a…
  • Happy Birthday!! 🎂 Hope it’s a good one. 🙂
  • I’ve already deleted my save that I’ve been referring to in this thread, but I was playing Rags to Riches style, and I play on 28 day seasons. So I was rarely leaving the lot, and the season never changed. The only thing that made it less annoying was the plant would maintain the quality it was before it reverted to dirt.…
  • OP, if you have other clubs where the Sims don’t do the activities, you could try choosing the Do____Together actions to see if that helps. I had a Sim in a gardening and fishing club, and since she was mainly in it for the fishing, I would always have her Go Fishing Together with the other members, or Invite to Go…
  • To me, they are very similar. The sink piece with both farmhouse sink styles. The island corners with the open shelving. The counter corners with the open shelving/hiding area combo. Even something about the color swatches and the wood countertops are similar. The CoL appliances look a bit more dated tho. Both sets look…
  • I guess I'm just more optimistic, but I don't see anything concerning about a game being in pre-alpha for 3 years when it started with one developer who I'm pretty sure was working on it on top of having another job. Now he has the support of patrons that he can devote his working day to the development, and he has a team…
  • I also had it happen to my cowplants which my Sim was growing alongside her regular plants. Two full grown cowplants instantly turned to bone when the other plants turned to dirt. So I don’t think it has to do with the seasons themselves/whether the plant is in season, as I’m pretty sure the cowplant can be grown in any…
  • For the longest time, I also never experienced this bug. Then recently, it started happening and I have no idea why. Several months ago, I had started a save with a Sim who gardens and it was fine until recently (the last month or so) her farm just started glitching out.
  • The Paralives discord is full of information on the status of the game, including what gameplay ideas are being considered and the progress of the development. It is a very active server. But they’re still in pre-alpha so there’s much more to go. The development on Paralives has been much more transparent than the…
  • I’ve not had the leader get mad at a gathering ending in a short amount of time. I’ve also had gatherings last for a long time because I wanted my Sim to get more out of it, and again no one got upset.
  • It wouldn’t break the game if the devs just design it to not break the game? Anyways, some sort of mass household deletion, and mass building deletion would help for when players want to rebuild the world themselves. As an option, I don’t see why that would be a bad thing to include.
  • I wish the Fitness skill would be broken up for the different activities in the same way Science is manifested by multiple skills and activities.
  • It depends on the character, honestly. If a character is written to be more formal in their speech, then maybe avoid contractions. If it’s more informal, use the contractions. But also if you need to emphasize a word that makes up a contraction, I would keep it separate. For example, if someone is trying hard to get the…
  • No. I want to be able to play as a character within a civ/city whose actions both influence and are influenced by the ever changing world around them. The reason I brought up CK is because it’s close to what I was trying to explain, except it’s thematic focus is narrower than what I would like. CK is not comparable to Sim…
  • Fellow Sims and Civ VI player here! I also would love a game that mixes them both. I think I would like it if I could play a game that was both micro and macro of a life sim and a civ builder, if that makes sense. So basically I could zoom in on the individuals who, when zoomed out, contribute to a fully operating…
  • Oh, maybe you can do videos with the video production station and drones. Maybe the crew members record things and report them back to their station on their home planet.
  • What is the space port lot's function? What activities or objects will be there? Well, I have been planing to build an aerospace center for a while now. I wrote down activities for the building which includes: building the rocket ships, using the observatory, reading rocket science books, writing on the topic of space,…
  • I guess you could always have more than one club (I think that’s possible?) so at least if they’re the same Sims there’s more of them so it seems less monotonous.
  • @orenjiAi Your gym is really nice! For the membership area, you could also make a club or two that use that for a hangout spot and then make that a club-only room.
  • I've been watching James's DHD series, and he keeps having the reveal bug where the slideshow doesn't play, so he goes in and edits it himself after the fact for the video. I've seen a bug where there wasn't the opportunity for the client's reaction and he just got paid for completing the gig. He's playing in an apartment…
  • I don't mind speculation, idk it's fun to me. I do think the timing of things with DHD and CoL lately seems very odd. But we've been living in odd times lately. Also, I think an announcement of the next generation of The Sims would make sense even if it isn't coming out soon. Game companies do that often, it's actually…
  • I don’t know that I’ll get the pack this year. But I am really looking forward to the pond tool update that will come just before the release. And if/when I get the pack, I think it would be perfect for my OTG semi/historical fantasy save. Especially the new gardening and the animals. Maybe in the future I will bundle it…
  • I know they had posted a job listing looking for someone to do core upgrades. I am reluctant to buy anymore packs until the closer to the end of the series and I hope I can avoid bugs.
  • @ClarionOfJoy I’m sure Covid did delay the progress. But I’m thinking that perhaps before Covid, they were on a track wherein they could talk more about it in a year. So theoretically, they would be talking about it by now. I’m adding the rest of the year as a buffer to account for Covid delays. I’m not expecting the game…
  • I don’t think I voted in this, but I am very much on the Paradox Tectonic bandwagon. The company (Paradox Interactive) is known for producing and publishing complex simulation games and that’s all I want out a life sim game. If Paralives and TS5 are too easy because everything is just a dollhouse sandbox like TS4 is, I…
