I think I might need to find a rehab center. I'm almost 100% positive that I've developed an unhealthy relationship with Fallout 4...

  • I have to agree with most players; I don't think the game is worth it and the money could go to something you'll get more mileage out of. The Sims 4 operates exactly the same as the base game. Add-on's and updates haven't done much and a lot of the "AMAZING FEATURES" are gimmicky, extremely poorly implemented, or both. I…
  • @Scobre "I'm done with laptops now for gaming." Good. They were never great for gaming to begin with and continue to not be the equipment needed to run games. Especially The Sims 3. Those of us with properly outfitted towers didn't have performance issues like the kind you hear that made people quit the game for good. A…
  • I think, and this is just conjecture on my part, that the OP wants more spontaneous reactions. Forcing a Sim to cry over a dead Sim that's right in front of them is really pushing it. Challenge comes from the unexpected. Knowing your Sims will always default immediately into a happy state doesn't make anything particularly…
  • I was just going to say get Seasons, but apparently everyone else beat me to it. You're going to like it. Pets is alright, but not wholly necessary and I don't have Supernatural but for those people really into the high fantasy stuff it seems to be practically a requirement. I'm not into the zombie, vampire, witch thing as…
  • @mirta000 I think he/she meant that the video game industry as a whole (maybe so far as the entirety of American industry) is, in short terms, lazy, uninspired, and pushing off their work and responsibilities on others instead of innovating, eradicating problems with creative solutions, and the like. For me, looking at how…
  • @GITTE2001 you make some REALLY good looking Sims! I don't want to quote your March 27 post because it'll look super messy with my little tiny comment shoved in at the bottom :smiley:
  • @Sasquatch_01 you'd first question if the length of my post violates some forum rule (were there are posts massively, no, exponentially larger than mine in droves) then quote the entire thing instead of just tagging me using "@"? And please, for all that's holy, don't attempt a character attack on me. The OP stated an…
  • Lot's of good ideas here. Clean your computer, make sure ALL your drivers are up to date, and ensure you have a good power supply and/or enough maximum wattage for the CPU and the GPU. AMD GPUs need more overhead than nVidia so check the specs of your power supply against what the recommended wattage for your specific…
  • Geeze...the people who don't like certain game interactions are quick to pull the "IT'S NOT FUN, IT'S BORING, I DON'T WANT IT!" line really quick. The nice thing about The Sims games was we were given options. Don't like the idea of having your Sims do the wash? Don't put any laundry options in the world. Simple. Here, and…
  • @drake_mccarty that person you referenced as being "rude" is a serious apologist for The Sims 4. Like...it's unhealthy in it's forcefulness. It's one thing to defend a position, but it's a totally different thing to bash people in the face with your opinions then attempt to put them down with poisoned words. Take a look at…
  • It could also simply be a glitch. Maybe the kid got tagged incorrectly for something and this is what the result was. The Sims has never been the most contained thing and weird bugs could pop into and out of existence, especially on old save files where a LOT of information has to be tracked. If it keeps happening though,…
  • @PandaSpirit I see you've gone a little silent on your own thread. I see a LOT of people misunderstanding your question on a really basic level. I mean, a flippant "Go play something else" is a really vapid, and frankly useless, comment, especially when The Sims 4 was so criminally expensive at release for very, very…
  • The 32-bit engine slays me every time. It was 2014 when this game was released and it was developed at a time when 64-bit architecture was widely considered the new norm. I mean, if they were going so far back as to support customers running 13 year old Windows XP machines then they cast a seriously deficient net, and…
  • Do you mean you'd like to see the needs meters degrade more slowly or outright take out the needs meters altogether? If it's the latter then it suddenly doesn't become a Sims game anymore. Part of being alive is taking care of the mundane needs like the bathroom and making and eating lunch. I think, in it's current form,…
  • From where I stand, and how I see the landscape in front of me, I'd say there's a high probability that this won't be happening...and it breaks my heart to even think of such a situation! I have to be realistic though.
  • "'Inability to produce more than one' they have produced more than one." - It may not feel that way though, and I mostly agree that the release schedule feels all sorts of messed up. The Sims Studio may have released more than one Game Pack in a year but they're a weird in-between sort of thing that's really new to the…
  • Hearing the mention of that name sends shivers down my spine...
  • UGH! So did the OP actually get hands-on time with the game? It's like having the last three chapters of a book left out and I have to wait for the author to figure out how to end the story...
  • I hear you! I couldn't have expressed my own sentiments on the game better. It is quite a lot like suffering through a wicked illness as I try to slog through the game and constantly crash into all the barriers it throws up in my face. I wanted a life simulator, not a party one. I certainly share in how you feel. I've…
  • I have two-step authorization set up for my YouTube account as it's another layer of protection. If a log-in is attempted on a device that I haven't marked as "trusted", an automated text message with a code is sent to my phone that I have to enter when logging in. YouTube/Google has never called me, I don't receive any…
  • RAM upgrades aren't as expensive as you might think. Depending on your PCs specifications you can buy DDR3 sticks for $30 to $50, give or take. Check your computer's owner's manual or your motherboard's documentation to see what kind of memory the computer takes, the maximum amount of RAM the board can use, and go from…
  • I just had the same problem too. I thought, "Uhhh, did they close the entire The Sims 3 website and store? I for sure thought they'd give everyone a heads up long before they actually pulled the plug..." They probably pulled it down fully to make all these changes and then test them to make sure the transition goes…
  • @p99g I was starting to think you wouldn't come back! You're not too late as I've been able to distract myself enough to not jump the gun and make a choice for you. Roaring Heights, unfortunately, can be purchased with cash only so Midnight Hollow it shall be. I hope your Sims are ready for a spooky place where the sunset…
  • WHAT!? This can't be accurate, is it? I think you maybe made a typo and accidentally clicked the wrong auto-fill option. Thank you @maria_loves_alex for forwarding your win to me! I mean...I'm actually kind of shocked still and I'm having trouble trying to think of words to express adequately how profoundly honored I am…
  • Wow, another giveaway for actual cash money prizes (in a sense) from @SteveKareha. I just don't know how he does it! Black magic...probably... Congrats to all the winners! I recognize every one of those winning names and you are ALL deserving of such a fabulous array of prizes! Be sure to post screenshots of your new stuff…
  • Thanks for the quick replay @PolarPhantom as letting us know what you want makes us all breathe a sigh of relief. A few times gifts have been stuck pending a response for quite a long while and I know I would start to get nervous that I was going to forget to send someone their winnings. Aurora Skies is by far the most…
  • Okay...::brushes hands off on his jeans::...that was an interesting experience. As I was sending @LadyEmillye her gift, so graciously forwaded by @Karendrae , I suddenly felt something appear in my magic bag of gifts. And it was a heavy something at that! It really took my by surprise and it's a good thing I didn't drop it…
  • Alright! Well, this lottery may be winding down but the excitement surrounding it sure isn't :D It's great to see the gifts flying all over the place. I didn't think this game could have gotten more generous but apparently the laws of nature and physics can be broken beyond recognition. I see some chatter about the amount…
  • Awww! ::hugs:: It was certainly my pleasure to sponsor this lottery. I think we all had a great run with it. We've made some Simmer quite happy people :) You're too kind MegaMauricio! I had so much fun helping out around here and I was so happy when I was asked to sponsor these big prize days. Since my wishlist is no more…
