  • Tanning/Sunburn was from Seasons in TS3. I remember it was that and not IP because several of the Seasons loading screens showed tanned/tanning/burnt sims. Also the tanning booth.
  • Yeah I really don't get how they could put so much focus into summer. It's always been there and nearly everything we have so far is summer oriented. Yet there's still no loungechairs or tanning. I hope they don't piecemeal this like Cats & Dogs and My First Pet Stuff. Inb4 a "Winter Activities/Festivities" SP.
  • Wow, did they really say that they focused the most on summer? If so that's kinda disappointing. I know the pack is being released in the summer and all, but the basegame is basically eternal summer. It's weird, EA seems to really be against gameplay options this time around. I remember TS3 had a toggle for close to every…
  • I'm just waiting till the pack is out and we see everything to decide whether these cuts were worth it. While they keep saying they put more focus and effort into other parts instead, I want to see that for myself. Both TS2 and TS3 had different snow depths, so if they cut that to make things more fleshed out then I would…
  • Well like I said for no snow depth - "that's disappointing". I mean idk at this point I can't even create a reaction past that. I see several saying they're glad their Sims don't have to deal with it but iirc in Sims 3 you could turn off certain weather (snow, rain, hail, etc). As long as they included options like that I…
  • Seasons coming out right in the middle of the year makes me think no. Even if they released the new EP for the holiday season it'd be coming out just 5 or 6 months after Seasons. The only other time we got two EPs in one year (Get to Work/Get Together) they were over 8 months apart. And there's still a good 7ish months…
  • This has been one of the more annoying problems throughout the series imo. I tend to play females most the time since I am female, but when I decide to play a legacy or anything of the sort all of the males in the family end up with similar styles due to the lack of options, and then it's even more divided by the lack of…
  • As much as I like University I kinda want something brand new, since the last 3 EPs have been inspired by/based on previous packs (City Living=Apartment Life/Late Night, Cats & Dogs=Pets, Seasons...well yeah), and a lot of Sims 1, 2, and 3 packs were essentially the same packs with some slight variations between them. As a…
  • They're making the pack and trying to sell it, of course they'll say it's the best one yet no matter what. They said the same thing with Cats & Dogs iirc. Whether it actually is will be up to the players.
  • That's disappointing, mostly because now even a blizzard and light show shower will produce the same amount of snow on the ground, not to mention Sims making snowmen with a quarter-inch of snow. I know there'll be some snow pile props, but that's not even close to being a replacement. It's no deal-breaker and I get they…
  • I haven't played any of the EPs past Get Together, but I never cared for Get to Work. I like the idea but I find the active careers far too repetitive, employees just talk and dance at businesses, and Magnolia Promenade is easily the most disappointing neighborhood. It also still has the most bugs, even after 3 years.
  • While the lack of depth is a bit disappointing (so I chose moderately important), I'm more worried about the texture. So far it looks like someone used the white paint bucket tool on the ground and roofs. If the snow won't actually accumulate, it could at least have some visual depth to it.
  • Knowing there's no new world now is a bit disappointing cause there's no beaches in the game....pack still looks pretty good so far but beaches will be missed for the summer qq
  • This is the first EP for TS4 that actually looks loaded with stuff, like fully worth the $40 and more. I'm so glad that holidays came back and that they have the appropriate items too! I loved holidays in TS3 but found it annoying there were no decorations for any of the holidays, especially not-Christmas having no trees…
  • No. The small pets are a cute idea, but it's disappointing that they're only rodents and essentially just the same thing with a slight model change. I feel like the fact that nearly everything else in the pack requires Cats & Dogs just shows that it should've been included in the EP in the first place.
  • I don't think there is a reasoning behind just getting 1 EP a year, but I don't mind cause it seems like they just shifted from quantity to quality, and with only one EP team it'd be too difficult to accomplish both. I still haven't played TS4 in a while but just by reading/watching stuff about the new packs they seem so…
  • I've been waiting for a TS3 creative corner as well, along with hoping several other forum display issues get fixed. Hearing literally nothing from no one for the past few months is getting pretty disheartening, is there any staff that checks this section? :cry:
  • I feel like most of the BG traits just need to be updated. There's a pretty big difference in the traits that we got at the start and traits we got in patches/packs in terms of how they actually affect your sim. I've never bothered too much with the personality traits since they seem to act like nothing more than buffs for…
  • Seasons and Pets are generally the largest/longest EPs to make, no way they'd combine them into one. It'd leave at least one part of it lackluster. Idek if that person is a real SimGuru or not...if they are chances are they're joking. If they aren't then they're probably still joking :v
  • I don't mean to beat a dead horse but uhh....any word on this? Or slightest chance it'll get changed back? I kind of want to post more but navigating is still a bit wonky and uncomfortable to do.
  • Oh this is actually a thing? That's nice, they look well done too. Makes me want to maybe get back into TS4.
  • Yeah I forgot about teens, I haven't played TS4 in a very long time now lol I think teens and up need a lot of new unique stuff really, they are very samey. But after that I would love to see something between adults and elders.
  • I think they first need to add more differentiation between the current YAs and adults before adding a third adult stage. Every life stage should be different in some way, I worry the older adult/middle-age sims will be the exact same as the last two adult stages.
  • This is why I moved on from these forums. Way more fun just minding my own business while I play and sharing my pictures/stories with my irl friends. To plum with feedback, I don't care anymore.
  • I miss the quirkiness (for lack of a better term I guess?) of the CAS/Build music in past games. Most of the TS4 tracks are quite similar sounding and a bit boring. I think the white is a bad choice though. I've always preferred the blue, but the white is just too bright and distracting, especially on the loading screen…
  • I'm not even a huge builder but I know how you feel. We've gotten more wall heights, half walls, basements, pools...And not much since. Build mode has became easier to use, but it doesn't seem worth it to me when there's no CASt, terrain tools, different wall/foundation heights on the same lot, very limited amount of…
  • There's been animal sounds since the base game.
  • I don't get the "realistic" excuse either, especially when they included the talking toilets in the very same pack. I don't know of any homes with elevators, but I also don't know of any with rocket ships, gigantic VR games, or telescopes and microscopes that would look more fit at a science center. I'm sure people…
  • Most of the other replies here sum up my feelings pretty well, but I'm still baffled (and honestly worried) that they don't understand why players disliked celebrities in TS3. I'd think after lots of feedback given on a 5+ year-old pack they'd know, but it sounds like they aren't listening to or reading feedback.
  • Yeah this doesn't sound like a life sim I know there's something that's supposed to be a real competitor...think it was Project Vo or something along those lines. Not much has been said about it yet though, seems to just be starting development. EDIT: Project Vie…
