I haven't been able to sit down and play yet, really.. I updated and did poke around in CA and I am SUPER excited about toddlers.. just been busy setting up my own nursery for our little one due in a few weeks. :) Adulting sucks. I want to come play the game now.. which is amazing, because I haven't been excited for TS4 in…
So.. I'm not opposed to vampires. In fact, I'd say this is one of the more common requests I've seen around the forum so it's refreshing to see something people asking for consistently be included (obviously they HAVE done other things.. a city, etc). I just worry that the more content they add like this, the less chances…
Honestly? No. I absolutely would not. I'm not that desperate for them -- it would be nothing but a slap to the face if they decided they were going to charge for a life stage that should have been included in the base game at the start. I WOULD purchase a Generations type EP/toddler related packs IF the toddlers were…
It's interesting -- I appreciate that the devs wanted to give us new animations for the sims (compared to TS2 and TS3 where you can blatantly see the recycled animations) but.. they do seem a bit.. over the top to me. Emotional deaths annoy me to no end -- I'd much rather see random deaths like the ones in TS2 and 3…
Intrigued by this @sparkfairy1 ! I don't really have issues running TS3 -- I think I have ONE save (my favorite, typical) that gets particularly laggy but it's also my largest family and an Isla Paradiso.. an ssd worked well for you? Maybe other, tech-y people have suggestions as well? With all the money I'm saving from…
So.. it's not that I wouldn't be excited for a vampire GP.. because I love my occult life states (pending the save I'm playing).. I just worry that the more packs they add like this (that includes a new life state, etc.), the less chances we really do have of ever getting toddlers within the game. Wouldn't this be even…
I don't know if I see any of the content presented in SP's as 'vital' so far.. TBH, I don't know if there were hot tubs introduced in TS3 base game (I was late to that one so bought a bunch of EP's at once) but I read that they weren't. A quick google search tells me they were introduced in Late Night. The butler.. again,…
Someone said this once before on the forum already.. but. Sorry. I'm not paying a company for me to use my imagination. Especially when the previous iterations were solid on their own without me having to 'pretend' anything.
Yep.. it is just a game. Why the developers choose to try to make some things realistic vs. other things not in the game is beyond me.. and probably all of us. And i don't think many people commented about jogging.. just yoga and hot tubs. :) And i think you mistake my comment as 'trending advice' rather then simple…
Well.. as someone who is pregnant now, I can confirm that there is unfortunately a lot of exercise routines most doctors want you to stay away from, including certain yoga poses, etc. I think it changes constantly as studies come about.. it's kind of like how you're told that something is a super food for a few years and…
It clearly makes enough happy for them to continue the product. EA does not care about happy people vs. angry people vs. disappointed people vs. whatever. They care about their bottom line which is how much $$$ they are bringing in. When it no longer makes sense to continue producing the game for profit earned over cost,…
Insightful... TBH, I hadn't read much to Grant's responses, because it's the same old song from the company now. The insults seem to roll out whether they intend them to or not -- but I think what's worse, is the fact his words and statements were pushed back on the Fan Sites and claimed THEY were the ones misinterpreting.…
Basically this. I gave up a long time ago.. and while this thread represents so many lovely things and has been a haven for family players since its creation, it's also become disappointing (not by the fault of anyone in here who regularly posts) in the sense that we were told by the team that our…
No, I'm afraid I don't think so.. I think if they release toddlers, it will be prior to a generations type EP if that ever comes. Not that I wouldn't love having them in my game -- they're my number one missed feature. Though at this point, I'd also take a fix for traits that mean nothing/are overridden by emotions and a…
That was an interesting comparison, OP.. certainly something I find accurate in my experience as well. I think, for me though, it far surpasses the quantity and even quality of what's added to any EP (whether TS3 or TS4) -- because I don't find traits mean much in TS4 and all of my sims tend to act the exact same as one…
Basically, they can discuss paid content whenever they want (in the sense of being 'when they're ready') I'm confused that they were able to tell us lot traits were coming in a free patch.. because that's exactly what I thought they weren't allowed to say. Mostly I just find it confusing..
Honestly? I know a lot of people have some issues with the cartoon-ish style of TS4 graphics, but for me.. if my sims looked like that I wouldn't even buy the game. For *me*, I would find it too creepy.
I think it's actually very commendable that they're answering questions even though they know some of the answers will upset certain parts of the community and perhaps make some people second guess whether or not they want to buy. That's the kind of communication I've (personally) been looking for.
I think.. a lot of people are disappointed right now and understandably so. But I do think it was admirable of the team to clarify up front that players will not be able to build apartments in other worlds. Especially after it has felt like so many things like this that could affect sales have been swept under the rug…
Yep.. TS4 and their slogan 'You Rule' seems to be like a bit of a joke now.. And it would seem their game engine that they spoke so highly of and that could 'give us everything we ever wanted' might not be as wonderful as they had thought.
I want to start by saying I cant see your pictures (blocked from my computer ATM), but I'm sure they're lovely. I also want to reiterate that I think 'family play' means something different for everyone -- if you feel this game gives you a satisfactory amount of family play, then I think that's wonderful! I've seen many…
