  • Thank you very much for doing all the work to give us one place to go to find all the review videos. I appreciate it more than you know. <3
  • I will definitely be buying it on January 2nd. My game hasn't been updated in months, I want to get CurseForge to help update my mods and CC, plus I will finally have the space I need to set up my gaming rig and time to play for as long and as often as I please. I have not had that luxury since last January when we decided…
  • I was just thinking about where I want to take my game come January with all the extra time I'll have once the holidays are over, then I see this new SP being announced. Woot! This is awesome news. We're still living in our motorhome while waiting for our home to be ready to move into, and I am so ready for that to happen.…
  • I agree the pack itself is not responsible for breaking mods. This is what we expect whenever the game is patched, updated or we purchase new packs. But this process of updating our mods, some of which are too useful to not have, has become very time consuming. And right now, I lack time to spare to tackle all of it. That…
  • I have often wondered why orphaned children that lose their parents aren't moved into the household of a surviving family member such as a grandparent or sibling of one of the deceased parents. Making those kids just up and disappear has never set well with me and has often forced me to exit the game without saving or…
  • Real Life has had me away from here for a few months, so I thought I should check in and see what's going on with the new EP. After reading the posts in this thread, I am disappointed in how many things were left out of it. My main disappointment is the fact there is so little in the form of cross-pack playability between…
  • I want access to Sims3 without being forced to use the launcher because I own all the physical copies along with the store items I purchased. It isn't right EA has full control of items I purchased before Sims4 was released and we were then required to use Origin. And now it's the EA App launcher that is so bad, it still…
  • This is more about security than DLC or updates being placed in the game. It's about EA having full control over their product without it being pirated by people who don't want to buy it through legal channels. That and the fact most pirated copies of the game don't share their game data so EA can keep track of which…
  • I'd rather see a pack refresh for Outdoor Retreat or Dine Out. Or more bug fixes that don't break the past bug fixes. :/
  • My bad. I apologize for my memory lapse concerning Katrina. But it's been a long time since I have played any of the premades in the previous versions or the ones in Sims4. The only premade family I ever played was the Broke family in Sims2. :)
  • If the teams add more new meal recipes in the future, we're going to need a way to disable the ones we don't want to use. I'm getting a loading lag every time I click on the fridge now. And the lag is getting longer every time new recipes are added. It's too bad we can't choose favorite recipes for each household that…
  • Realm of Magic's world Glimmer Brook also had homes with driveways which set off another round of speculation that cars were going to be a thing soon. But that happened a few years ago and cars still aren't in Sims4. With all the loading screens in Sims4 I just don't see the need for cars at all. In Sims3 with the open…
  • Married Sims with one spouse cheating, end up in a messy divorce with the offender losing everything, including their good relationships with any children in the household. Engaged Sims may get left at the alter or just deleted depending on my mood. Sims that are casually dating, well, that's what happens from time to time…
  • I voted I'll be running in the other direction just so the gurus will see it, but I already decided to quit the franchise once Sims4 ends. Maybe sooner than that as I am again playing offline and have no intention of updating my game for a very long time. EA's lack of success in the past with this multi-player plan is…
  • Well, it looks as if EA has no intention of giving up on its dream of spreading The Sims franchise across every platform out there in spite of its lack of success with this in the past. Could this be for a mobile or console version of Sims5 that will be released at the same time as the PC/Mac versions? Or Sims5 will have…
  • @simgirl1010 I understand everything you feel about the franchise. I feel the same way because the Sims has been my go-to game for twenty years. But I also play many other games these days. However, none of them are anything like the Sims at all. I am particularly fond of first-person action games. But I will always have a…
  • @Oldeseadogge I know the feeling. It's been so long since I voted I don't remember which response I clicked on. But after not hearing any updates on Sims5/Project Rene except the one that says it is years away from being finished, I doubt I will be buying it. I've been keeping up with the news about Paralives in the hope…
  • If that is EA's plan it probably won't be met with favorable reviews. And is most likely why so many players are excited about LBY's Early Access program. The fact the dev teams at Paradox are using this as a way to involve the players in the development of features they want to see in the game shows me our opinions matter…
  • The only concern I have with the Fitness feature in LBY is the humans don't change as they gain more skill. Their body shape stays the same no matter how much they workout. That can be problematic if you are playing a human with the Foodie trait. The few Foodies I play need to workout more because they're always eating and…
  • @mightysprite Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. I probably came off as a bit of a brat when so many other people are dealing with being homeless and living wherever they can find shelter. I sounded selfish and self-absorbed in that post. Our motorhome is huge and has every amenity one would find in a house, and…
  • @simmerorigin Thanks for taking the time to do the math. Numbers generally don't lie and knowing how many Real Life hours we will be investing in each human is helpful. The more days I have with my humans the better I like having an open world to explore, and the ability to mod the game to suit my play style. Then when we…
  • I've been spending a lot of time watching reaction videos of LBY on YouTube the past couple of days, and I can honestly say my initial concerns about the game are becoming less concerning as I gather more information. And there is a lot of information out there about LBY to wade through. While watching other players'…
  • It would be easier to compare the two if we had a little more info on Project Rene. My decision to preorder Life By You was an easy one to make. I have no desire to start over with a bare bones base game then wait for months or even years for packs/DLC to flesh it out. LBY has made no mention about weather and that is a…
  • I found The Sims two years after it had been released and had been fleshed out with the addition of new packs, so it wasn't as if I had started with just a base game. Sims2 was such a game changer upon release it didn't feel empty or lacking. Sims3 was another story even though it introduced the open world. I returned to…
  • Each season is set at 28 days, which is equal to a month in my mind, and I play each season 3 times before moving on to the next one. 4 seasons times three playthroughs equals one Sim year. I also play with aging off and age up my Sims when I feel it's the right time. I play rotationally through many families and single…
  • Three of my four granddaughters still play Sims3 and Sims4. I introduced several friends to the Sims way back when The Sims was still young. Many of them have continued to play and we talk about our games quite often. They say playing has helped them adjust to this different world we live in these days. And over the years…
  • In Sims1 I had one save that I played almost exclusively until Sims2 was released. So, maybe three years? In Sims2 there was a save I played almost every day. A family of five that I loved dearly. I actually was able to play it through five generations. I still visit them from time to time as I have Sims2 installed on an…
  • Anything but an update centered around the Calliente family. After having them in my game for what I believe to be eighteen years, I'm ready for them to retire. While setting up new saves they are one of the first households to be deleted. After so many years of playing that family, it was like eating the same cereal for…
