  • > @Erpe said: > In those years I visited the game stores about twice a week to see if they had got new games and to read a little on the boxes for most of their games. I never saw any adult women look at the Sims boxes unless they were in company with very young girls. But I saw a lot of very young girls studying those…
  • @Erpe said: > I made no analysis of your way of thinking. But you pretend to be able to speak for all the millions of TS3 players who never visited this forum at all. You can’t! Erpe, I realize you're speaking to someone else. But. I've been reading your postings in this thread and I'm struck by the fact that you yourself…
  • Cinebar said: > Eyeroll....you can vote on all surveys up to 40 years old, anyone older is thanked, but no thanks, trust me, I know. :dizzy: Thank you for that. I'll be sure to lie about my age in future so I can participate in surveys on a game for which I have purchased nearly every pack and most store content since…
  • > @Karallyne said: > I doubt it. They said that they release packs that make sense seasonally. Since there's no pack coming this summer, it would mean the soonest that a tropical or beach themed pack gets released is a year from now. On the other hand . . . many people take tropical vacations during the winter.
  • I don't know when we'll get Seasons, but if Maxis were to release only one more EP, I'd want it to be Seasons. The only reason I still play TS3 occasionally is to experience seasons (well, that and the lovely, open world) and to hear the game's sound of rain and thunder whenever I feel like it.
  • Well, duh. I found it on the home page. Never mind! LOL
  • What trailer? I didn't see a link to one in the blog announcement. Maybe I overlooked it ... ?
  • This woman was instrumental in determining the direction of TS4 as we experience it now and how we will continue to experience it for probably a few packs down the line. I'd say it's pretty on topic.
  • @SimGuruDrake stated several times that Rachel 100% left of her own volition. I don't think Drake would protest so much if Rachel had been fired. We need to stop assuming this decision was made by the powers-that-be and accept that Rachel simply found a better offer. In which case, good for her for finding a more…
  • I understand what you're saying, but I'm a diehard fan who has been indifferent to the toddlers ever since their introduction in TS2. The decision to exclude them from this iteration was apparently the result of telemetry. I have no idea what percentage of avid Sims players frequent and post on this forum, but perhaps the…
  • I actually wouldn't mind having my full Sims game on my tablet. Some of my iPad's specs are superior to my old gaming rig at home, but alas it lacks a fan and sufficient storage. I'm not sure how playing TS4 is working for people using a Surface; I would imagine that even with the i7 Surfaces, cooling has to be an issue…
  • Have screenshots of any of these alleged email "leaks" been posted? I skimmed through the pages of this thread and didn't see any; maybe I'm overlooking them. It's certainly possible. If no screenshots have been posted, I call BS on them. As for NDA's, I highly doubt anyone at EA would breach them, since they have so far…
  • I'm not sure why babies are tied to cribs, and I don't want to accuse them of taking the lazy route. But there is absolutely no reason they can't create pets. The pets themselves require a new set of "bones," which is doable, and new animations for interacting with the pets is needed. But it can be done. Definitely.
  • Judging by how frequently people post about the absence of pets and other features of previous Sims iterations, I'd say, yes, clearly plenty of people worry we won't get them. It is possible for the developers to create pets, toddlers and other things, despite what they say. As a programmer, I know this. The question is…
  • What EA doesn't seem to understand is the difference between the types of players attracted to MMOs versus the ones who play Sims. The gameplay of the former usually involves various acts of aggression; playing against real people is probably more challenging than an AI. Sims players, on the other hand, play for reasons…
  • My Sims have little free time, because my main focus while playing them is getting them promoted. So, I try to combine fun with skilling whenever possible - for jobs and earning rewards. Vacations to Granite Falls are usually only to fulfill a requirement to visit same, or I pack Sims' inventories with skill books and they…
  • THIS. Totally this. I'm actually happy with the worlds we have, although I'd like more (of course). I would just love it if I could send my Sims to any location I want within those worlds. Others have mentioned worlds I too would like to see added to TS4 (tropical, cities, etc.), but I would especially love a coastal…
  • Mostly Young Adult. Once my Sims are halfway through Adult, I marry them off and quickly make them reproduce. Then move on to a different single YA, before the younguns get through much of childhood (which is why I have few complaints about TS4 - it's perfectly suited to my single-Sim play preferences). I cycle back to the…
  • > @Sigzy05 said: > > TBH I think it was on purpose. What other reason would that tweet have? Though I didn't knew "taking a sick day" appeared on the UI which is quite cool. I've suspected for years that any morsel of "leaked" info from EA was deliberate. It would explain why we see so little leaked info now - because…
  • > I think that sims 5 will be worse than 4 in terms of..everything. I'm sure it will be an even more shallow game at launch, playable on a tablet, smartphone, PC, and possibly console at launch. It will resemble more of a facebook game than a single player sims game. Don't forget that the mobile team is working with it now…
  • > Ladyliberty1301 wrote: » > Don't get me wrong, if you have found a toddler hint than that is all very well but from where I am standing, there is more chance of seeing rain on the sun than toddlers coming in the next EP. It seems that way, doesn't it? FWIW, though, I remember back in TS1 days a prominent member of the…
  • > That's no longer true, and that's what will eventually bring about the game's demise. I would hate to see the series end, but by turning away from the fans who built the franchise and made it what it was, EA has turned onto a dead-end road, I'm afraid. I wish they would stop, turn around, and head back in the right…
  • OP, I appreciate your apology and that you added "tomorrow." But why leave the exclamation mark on there? It should be a question mark so people not interested in speculation-only threads can move on without wasting clicks.
  • > @Southernbelle1283 said: > Work keeps getting in the way of my Simming. I'll have to wait another 5 hours to download and play I feel your pain. I've got six more hours of work and then another hour's drive home. At least I was able to pay for the game from work, and now I'm having my teenager download and install. So,…
