@Sindocat I think I know the reason why I go to gay bars. Like I said one reason is because I just don't like hitting on straight guys. Other reason is that gay guys are a minority. If I go to "normal" places and try to find one guy who is interested in other guys I would probably have to search for months to get a date.…
@Jyotai In my experience, not always. A reason why LGBTQ people would visit, go to a pride location in real life is to meet other members of that community, make friends or find a date. For example it is incredibly difficult for a gay man to flirt in a non-gay bar because there is no way of knowing if the other person will…
I find the question a bit difficult to answer cause things aren't always either black or white. There is always the "in-between" that can also work, a mix of both. There is this conflict between simmers. It's either team cartoony or team realistic but I think people need to realize an art style can be inspired by both and…
@kwanzaabot Well yes but as the title suggests we are talking about bugs and game instability here. And the Sims 4 has been getting buggier for 7 years, not getting any better. Again bugs are the topic. And the more bugs, the less fun the game is, the more people want a fresh game to start anew. So yeah, if we use the…
How is that plausible? Why would they announce generations or cars and overshadow the new Cottage Living EP? Sometimes I think people believe what they wanna believe.
Sims can NEVER look like this. A very important thing about developing their appearence is to make it so their faces are flexible enough to be different from each other. They aren't supposed to have such a specific art-style because it makes it difficult for us to create Sims that don't look so much alike. All I see in…
@kwanzaabot Actually a better way of putting it is you order a burrito from Taco Bell that you've been slowly eating for 7 years. Ofc the burrito will go bad and you'll want a fresh one. And maybe the new one will be bigger, have more toppings and will come out better than the last.
Btw ofc a lot of people here won't know her unless they are in the LGBTQ community or at least into drag, gay culture. But that's only normal and I also think fitting for this event.
@babajayne I agree. Once Dream Home Decorator was out and people started picking out bugs and oversights, they didn't wait at all to announce the new EP. Dream Home Decorator came out on the 1st of June and if I'm not mistaken CoL was announced just 10 days later. Why would they want to overshadow their own pack, that was…
It makes sense that they would book Trixie Mattel for this. She has been one of the most well-known drag queens for years now, especially for the younger generation. Ofc she will bring a very big audience to the stream.
I mean, c'mon wouldn't it be HILARIOUS if they gave us a Greek island world and had all the pre-mades be Greek gods and godesses all with their personality from mythology? Aphrodite would be the promiscuous one living with her toddler Eros by the seashore. Zeus would be the cheating husband and Hera the stereotypical…
@Kironide I think the biggest issue is that the fountation of the game has already been set. Let's use the worlds as an example. World design in the Sims 4 is part of its fountation and is fundamental to all the other aspect of the game working. If the team wants to redesign and make worlds better, for example by making…
@ACruelButLovingGod You do realize though that there are big issues that come with such games running for a long time. First of all, the game cannot evolve and become better and we see that in the Sims 4, how difficult it is for it to be something more than it's predecesors. We can never change the engine/fountation of the…
@ACruelButLovingGod @Bluegayle @Zimz4 I didn't make the thing about the antibiotics up, or the artificial breeding, or the force feeding, or the supplements or the infections animals get from being in such tight spaces. These are things that are happening in the slaughterhouses and are proven and out there for you to see.…
@Naus Agree. Especially games that were not designed to. The Sims 4 is cracking and it's been showing for years now, even if people don't like to admit it. How much better the experience could be compared to what we have now is honestly one of the saddest things ever. People are like I don't mind this I don't mind that,…
@ACruelButLovingGod Indeed we are disconnected because most of the people out there have no idea what goes into meat production in the industry, how much antibiotics, supplements are used and how unnatural and violent things get. The meat from a McDonald's burger doesn't come from some animal in the wild, it comes from…
@ACruelButLovingGod One is more common that the other though. I rarely see anybody complain about a game being more demanding but looking great. There are dozens of triple-A games coming out everyday and run on the most modern hardware and rarely does anyone ever complain. Other communities apprieciate and crave the…
@filipomel This is exactly why a Create-a-World or place lots feature is needed. In the Sims 3 I deliberately played smaller worlds because I had some performance issues and people who had monster PCs could go online and download these massive worlds (or make them themselves) so the experience was much more customizable…
But at the same time, if they deliberately want to give us smaller worlds in order to prevent performance issues then why not give us more features? Or decrease the price tag?
I think it's a matter of getting used to it. I personally like to lurk around in threads from 20 years ago. Many are still accessible online. What I found surprising was that when it was announced that the Sims 2 will be in 3D a lot, possibly even a majority, was absolutely against the idea of a 3D sequel. Fast forward to…
