So incredibly happy that toddlers have been added to the game!

Comments

  • Hah yea, frustrating isn’t it... I’m in the same boat, made my pc myself around 2 yrs ago and it far exceeds the required specs, but I still see lots of sim lag - city living is literally unplayable for me. No one lives in SM because of that. I’ve even tested it with no cc whatsoever and have the same issues... so idk,…
  • I also found the dogs in particular were unmanageable without the MCC time scale change. I felt I was seeing a decrease in efficiency; I was seeing lots of dropped queued actions. This issue was also visible with toddlers. Setting MCC time to 50 resolved these issues for me, same as others have reported. I wanted to write…
  • Hi guys, wondering if someone can help me out. I spend so much of my time policing townie outfits - it seems like they put on every accessory in the game! I have no cc clothing but they just insist on somehow creating the most horrendous and unlikely pairings constantly. I have never looked closely at dresser, and I'm not…
  • Thank you @HappySimmer3! Good to see u again! *waves happily*
  • Thank you @king_of_simcity7 just from a brief look around I see what you mean, it's wonderful to see so many happy simmers today! I've been away for a while but I have been poking my head in to see how everyone is doing from time to time and things were pretty morose for a while there! The community needed this shot in the…
  • I can't possibly express how happy and relieved I am to see that toddlers have been added!!!!! When Sparky's tweet popped up I immediately started looking for more info because I could scarcely believe it! When I realised it was true, I broke down in tears. The last few months have been really difficult for me;…
  • Haha you are right I was confused there I actually added an edit right before reading your post. Correct me please I thought that was not including digital sales ie steam/origin, am I mistaken? Also am I right it's PC only so discluding PC sales from multi platform games? These numbers are so fiddley lol! Either way of…
  • I am breaking my self imposed comment exile to applaud your pointing this out. I find it interesting that Eric's linkedin profile shows that (among his other very impressive educational credits) he has a degree in psychology. Weird that wasn't mentioned during that interview with Rachel and Lindsay where they proudly…
  • @HappySimmer3 thank you for that, you are so kind. I hope one day my novel will be picked up and you guys will see E Sharp on the stands at your local book store! :D if only real life publishing worked like it does in the sims, and I could write a book in the morning and receive my first royalty cheque in the afternoon,…
  • Hi guys, sorry to say that yes, I've decided to leave. Pretty sad about it really. I feel like devs have made it clear they will never be able to engage with us or involve us in development. I've given my suggestions, staying here is just making me frustrated. It just plums because I'm going to miss a lot of you a ton.…
  • Well, sadly, I've hit a personal wall with this game. Did some more reading of recent threads and just can't see the hope I once did anymore. @mattandphilsims2 your video just about made me cry. Thank you and I understand how you feel. This game was more than a game to me. I am exhausted and sad with how things have gone.…
  • @SimTrippy Thank you for your kind words! I have tried to stay away from this discussion, because I've been a bit mad over it all. I know @SimGuruDrake is trying to be 'real' with us, and not bandy words, and I appreciate that... but I can't help but see it as a slap in the face. Our complaints continue because the…
  • @83bienchen Are you asking me? Not waiting on a comment, rather reacting to one. I was referring to the recent comments in the games con thread, I think sparky linked it a page or two back.
  • @linesa glad I could give u a giggle, you gave me a smile with your little purple haired Simmies! Cutest ones I've seen in a while!
  • Wow, very disappointed by Drake's comments. I understand what she's saying, and that it must be frustrating that we can't accept their lack of answers as answers... But I feel like EA is gas lighting its fans. The whole conversation between ea and the community is laughable. EA: There will be all life stages. Fans: Yay!…
  • C, because if they are unable to add them it seems unlikely that a lot of things I hope for will be addressed. If they can't add life stages, to me, that means this game engine is really limited, and their vision is at odds with my play style. I won't be mad though, I'd still be happier to know, and I'm not buying already…
  • Totally agree, and yes you expressed yourself perfectly, I think you're spot on with your observations. :)
  • Unfortunately I have to say there really isn't enough data, in this case. With a population in the hundreds of thousands or more, ~250 people surveyed provides around a 7% margin for error, 8% being the limit that any self respecting statistician would even consider accepting. I'm personally not comfortable with a margin…
  • Oh I completely agree @Scobre as I've said many times we can't get the 'why' from the polls, it only helps us see where a more detailed convo may be required. It's not meant to provide a holistic 'answer' to anything, only to draw attention to the general atmosphere of the forum community.
  • Agreed @Polyrhythm , and I must say if the question has been rate SimGuruDrake's communication with the forum I would have voted Great! But she's only one person, lol!
  • @Neia while I am a bit nervous to use the numbers from the other sites on their own due to the number of responses being too small to get a really honest read, but I am not surprised that question in particular is different for other platforms vs forums. Dev interaction is different on different sites - for example they…
  • Okay sorry for the delay, question 3 is now fixed. Over and over I am getting the response that even the over 1500 simmers who took this poll are still a vocal minority. I just have to address this. I know Drake said essentially the same; that these results are from a 'non-focused data pool' and that there are too many…
  • Thank you so so much @SimGuruDrake I'm so glad I didn't have to remake the thread! I can't believe you kept trying even after I said it was fine, your perseverance on this has not gone unnoticed. Aces! I have some updates to do but won't be able to do that till I'm at home on my PC, so pardon the error with question #3…
  • I agree with your personal sentiment, I want them back as well, but feel I need to correct your assumption that most S4 players don't want them, or found them annoying. According my mah research, the majority of players do want toddlers back, so if they are not added, it is not because they are unwanted by the players, but…
  • If every thread was removed because people were bickering, this forum would be empty :D Anyway, thanks for the update, I'll bump it back to main page of general if it is reopened.
  • Hi guys, I saw @elanorbreton and @sparkfairy1 both mentioned me in a now closed thread titled 'where did it go', I assume that's about the survey... not sure why it was closed. Drake is looking into it now. Until then, I've uploaded an imgur album of the results HERE. Sorry to derail a bit... but hey there's a family play…
  • Thanks for your concern, yea the whole thing ended up costing me around $65 bucks, lol, so I'm very happy that people are finding it interesting - that makes it worth it. I really was very unimpressed with SurveyMonkey, and was even more disappointed in their unwillingness to work with me. They basically just said I'd…
  • Well said guys, I agree. No poll is going to explain the nuance of 'why' people feel the way they do - that requires a much closer and open ended discussion with the community. It requires trust, patience and empathy from both sides, not some simple one sentence questions with multiple choice answers. While not perfect,…
  • @kphillips2977 that is so sweet of you, but I couldn't possibly accept. It's my own silly fault, and I fully accept the consequences of my oversight. It was only $33 bucks extra anyway - while it never feels good to throw money away, that's less than a dinner out here in Vancouver, haha! I really appreciate your offer…
