Also I'm a bit worried by the "tell your story" part they were talking about. Personally I'm a goal oriented player, not a storyteller, and one of my biggest peeves with 4 has always been how much they've been focusing on this "tell your story" type of gameplay as I don't play that way. I'm not someone who comes up with…
From the trailer I have mixed feelings.. The world environment and open world looks good but other than that nothing really sold me. I'm not an expert on game engines so couldn't say which one but it just looks like a lot of pre made assets from the engine put into a life simulator form. It just looks a bit generic and…
The one I want most is open worlds, but more like "expansive worlds". I want to see properly large playable areas, full of functional lots, and if there is any shells I want them to be at least rabbit holes. If it follows the same theme as Sims 4 and we get neighborhoods with only 4 actual lots and a ton of fake buildings…
I doubt this'll really have much effect on the character graphics, the Sims 4 has the same thing in some worlds and they don't really reflect the actual sims much at all in my opinion. They're just very, very basic character models. They're supposed to be simple and just vaguely resemble people to fill the area, the actual…
I'm really excited to hear more about this, the art style is exactly what I've been wanting from a life sim game for a while and I've been desperately hoping for a big company to make a competitor game for ages. (Paralives is nice but I think if it ever is released it'll be limited for now by the small team indie game…
Probably down to declining team numbers, why hire new people for a game that's ending in a few years when you could hire them to work on the new game? I expect they're probably just losing developers over time and not replacing them which is leading to releases being less often than they used to.
I just think it'll be annoying to have to check through yet another site for mods/potentially missing out on mods because they're only on here.. It got pretty easy in recent years as it's been the case that if you want maxis match cc it's all on Tumblr, alpha all on TSR and game mods on modthesims, I think this'll just…
I think sometime in 2024 - early 2025 is a safe bet for a release, the end of 2024 is still two years away and it seems like they're already quite a way into development judging by what we've seen (it looks like they've been working on build mode/world design for a while already). Plus this is a big company so development…
For me visually I want something that feels more like the Sims 3 2.0 rather than the Sims 4 2.0. Some of the Sims 3 ads showed graphics which were 10x better than the actual graphics, so I think something that looks like these ads would be my dream for 5 visually:…
I think it'd be cool if they brought back a big collection of iconic townies from all of the games for 5, but as they're most recognisable, no "20 years in the future", or as children thing. The more nostalgic references to old games they add the better really
Honestly I'm hoping a big games company will attempt a life sim game in the near future. At the moment for me 5 and Paralives both look quite basic visually. It's 2022, I really want to see a life sim that takes advantage of new technology and feels like a next gen game. The graphics capability of the latest engines is…
Personally I'd rather see new worlds than old ones, I'd like to see more of an international focus with 5. There's still so many countries/places that you just can't represent in any of the games which is a shame for a life simulator
At the moment I just feel indifferent. Build mode isn't something that I care about at all, I need to see how the sims look, the graphics/art style, what the gameplay's like, if it's open world, etc before I can start to get excited
They look like they're going to be much better done than in previous games, I was worried "freed babies" would mean the return of object babies that'd be dumped on the floor every five seconds and wouldn't move like in 3 but these babies actually look like more of a proper life state
I hope when the Sims 5 does eventually come (regardless of whether that's soon or in years to come), we'll get more varied packs in the first few years.. I don't want to sit through 3 years of all the same packs again before getting anything new :s
I'm more confused than ever now lol. I was thinking it's probably going to be a small thing that's been overhyped with just the devs talking some changes and future releases, but a presenter, a whole set, performers, asking people questions on the street, paid ads promoting it on other platforms? It's a lot for just a…
I was initially thinking it'll 100% but Sims 5, but now I don't think so anymore. I think they'll just talk about all the current games (including mobile), tease new content/updates and potentially announce an online spin off of Sims 4. Maybe they'll announce that 4 will go to more platforms too like switch, and maybe the…
He's the closest sim to a simself for me, I've used him as a base a few times lol. Also he's originally from MySims along with the rest of his household so I like how they brought them over to 4
I'm still hopeful but kind of concerned with the "Sims 4 Project Sunrise" leak that the Summit is going to announce an online spin off of the Sims 4...
I doubt it'll be able to handle high graphics, but basically any computer or laptop 2014 onwards can handle this game so on lower graphics it should definitely run fine. Only advice I'd give is to avoid using laptop mode - it makes the game faster, but it makes the graphics horrifying. Even minimum graphics settings on…
In the Sims 3 my sims dump their babies outside in the snow in the middle of winter, in the Sims 4 my sims step into the road infront of a car while texting, so it's pretty even. My Sims 3 sim would be in prison for gross negligence of a baby while my Sims 4 sim would've been hit by a car, so I guess the one that survived…
Always loved the apartment building in Evergreen Harbor, but I'm not a big fan of the location, so... I moved it. I recreated the whole building in Del Sol Valley and made it so you can just live in a single apartment the same as in the original! (used taller walls than the original for better views from the apartment) And…
It says "meet in real life", so it sounds more like they're planning either a physical EA event or a competition to win a trip for multiple people rather than talking about any in game feature like multiplayer. I would guess it's either EA play, the return of Sims Camp or potentially the Summit could be a real event as…
Longer than I thought, I have a good modern laptop but I do have a pretty big 3.2gb mod folder with overrides for all of the world textures so that probably makes it slower. It took 49 seconds to go from the main menu into the game, 30 seconds to change lots for me. Edit: Without mods it took 30 seconds to load into the…
