I found this today (thanks to TheEnglishSimmer on Youtube) in an attempt to make S4 any kind of fun because i refuse to pay $39 more to get aliens, grrr. I appreciate you guys who have given feedback on this, it will help me plan this better and really help my chances of enjoyment. Edit: P.S. I'm playing this on hard mode.…

I have to say i just love this mix of characters for this challenge! Do you mind if i base my household for the challenge on this? I'm not posting it anywhere, it's just for my own fun. As for voting, i would vote for Alex but he seems to be out of the running. I think you have something with the plan to go with a…

Whelp, this cow is tapped out!

RIGHT?!? I was thinking the same just the other day. They are sending us to dark, dark places.... :s
-
You got a house fire?!? Luckyyy! I guess I'm a bit masochistic or can't stand that I paid $70 for nothing but I keep going back and trying. I tried to force a sim to miss the toilet on time and couldn't make her stay off! I just wanted one little true Sims moment. Was that so much to ask? EA is turning me into a sadist…

Me, too, Jarsie! It's just killing me that i finally and sadly sent mine off in a Goodwill box about 2 years ago thinking it was pointless to let them take up space anymore. *forehead slap!* I sure hope the ones i ordered do, too, Scobre, or i'll be on here whining at people to tell me how to make them work. ;)

@PHOEBESMOM, the link i posted was for new, unused copies. Here is the only new copy currently on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Sims-Complete-Collection-in-Box-PC-Games-NEW-and-SEALED-/321754531080?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aea108508

Yah, that's my point, why wouldn't they keep on with what they knew worked and is apparently still working. Really? You can get Sims 2 on Origin? I looked for it on there and couldn't find it. I'm guessing it's download only? Huh, going to look again... Edit: Nope, it's not showing up on there. I'm guessing its price is…

So, i was shopping to replace my older versions when i found out they'll still play on newer systems and @Anavastia, @Writin_Reg and @WolfEyes, i thought of your comments about supply and demand (and nearly choked) when i saw this:…
-
Anavastia, i want to say that i really appreciate you starting this discussion and allowing me to jump in. Grief is a process much helped by discussion with others who are also grieving. Our loved one is ill. Thank you all for being here at the bedside to mourn or even hope together.

*sniffle* It's like Atari's E.T. all over again.... *sniff*
-
You and me, both! I don't know if i just can't wrap my head around the wants of their current target demographic or the business world has simply lost its head. Here we are saying, "I have all this money! I will give lots of it to you for the thing for which i'm asking!" and EA is, like, "Nah". :wink:
-
Ya'd think. And that's actually what i thought when i saw ads for free-play and the ads for S4, that the main game would stay the main game and others would be appetizers. This makes no sense to me. I'm sure we aren't naive here and know the bottom line is profit, but i would've thought that people who spend the money on a…
-
I'm not nearly as informed about the gaming business as you guys, so the previews and a few reviews were what i went by in forming my expectations of S4. Did i completely misunderstand what i saw and read? Because what is described in this quote by Writin_Reg is pretty close to what i got the impression it would be. I feel…
-
@kaichen04 Now, by your definition i could say you are "hating" here. I could take this all personally and get upset over your negativity. Then try this analogy of your judgment of the folks posting their opinions here: Someone you are with has a hammer fall on his bare big toe and starts yelling and cursing. Is he…
-
And how about some actually personal social interactions? This game seems to try to force you to make a super-social sim to have any fun, yet their interactions are all so interchangeable. What happened to announcing promotions to your family and friends, for example? Their relationships all seem to be of equal value.…
-
I don't know lots about game design, i just play them. So bottom line is they're not gonna improve it is what i'm hearing, right? Sad, sad. Well, i'm certainly not going to let go of any more cash over it hoping it will improve the experience.
-
For the Base Game: -option to turn off tips/tutorial -toggle UI in captures right from "Camera Controls" in the UI -parties at own home or community lots instead of others' homes - other sims' homes don't work for achievement! -research ALL skills on the computer -have current social wants appear in the interaction pie…

I do "like the game and don't like it", lol. I do appreciate the pretty graphics, new less-buggy mechanics, new features and how many objects are now included that had to be bought as premium items in 3. But i had a revelation yesterday when i tried to give it another shot. I found i had a mailbox glitch and i weirdly…
-
I wish that's all it was, then i wouldn't be on here searching for answers. A game is supposed to be "a break" but this one is more like work. This is a long-running franchise and this version does not engage nearly as well its predecessors when it should be an improvement in every way. The reason Sims 1-3, especially 1-2,…
-
Apparently i have tried everything, then, and it's "not for" me. Yes, i've "mix[ed] it up" i've played goal-oriented and all the rest. I came to it with an open mind expecting to play differently but i still don't like it. I don't mind a bit of repetition for unlocking excitement but it just takes too stinking long and too…
-
@CharityHope - Yep, i actually keep finding these threads about the boredom when i search for information on how to find it not boring, lol!
-
No, not long at all. Thanks. I wish i could find the magic, i came to the game wanting and expecting to love it, but just can't. It has stellar mechanics and graphics but the soul is missing. I've tried the story thing a bit, too, but keep finding it becoming a repetitive grind. I just feel that i should not have to work…
-
@Ellessarr - I'm pretty sure i understand what you said, and, exactly.
-
@olyanaesme - No offense, but i disagree that there's no point. If EA cares at all to keep making any money off of this franchise they need feedback and this is the place they've provided for us to give it. I'm running a bit behind on my feedback because of a move, but i think it's still valid. I'm glad you are enjoying it…

@luthienrising Please, (no sarcasm here) tell us how you are managing to enjoy TS4. How are you playing the game that actually makes it satisfying and absorbing? I've tried everything i can think of but i'm finding it so empty. (And, btw, that's not because it's the base game, the previous base games all engaged me for a…
-
I actually came to TS4 with the intention of playing it differently. I have given it an embarrassing number of hours to engage me and even dared it to engage me, worked at being engaged, but there is just no way. And i'm with you, there is no way i'm handing over more funds in a futile attempt to salvage my initial…
-
Hi, Charity. Well, at least it's getting us long-time lurkers on the forum and chatting. :smile:
-
I'm guessing the answer is when we shell out another $1280. If i'd even seen so much as one sim pee itself in this game i'd have hope and keep on playing, but, no. It's just a smooth-running snore-fest and i refuse to spend any more money when the first $70 is already a waste. @Anavastia Thanks for saying it. @Aine Spot on…
Howdy, Stranger!
