Oh wow, haven't been back here in a while. I'm surprised this challenge is still going seeing as I made it over 5 years ago. Some really great builds since then, and creative ideas! Since this challenge was first released, tons of new content has been added. I’m wondering if maybe the rules ought to be updated a bit to…

Knowing Get to Work and Get Together are givens at this point... - Holiday Stuff Pack - Superhero Game Pack - Kids/School Stuff Pack - "Under the Weather" Expansion Pack (Includes seasonal changes and weather events with festival lots.) - Asian Furniture Stuff Pack - Babies & Toddlers Game Pack - Teenager Stuff Pack - "Get…
My opinion is still the same. As I am introverted, the idea of 'grouping' with others does not appeal to me. So the strength of this pack is dependent on its item contents. As I have yet to see a full list of new items, I cannot tell if I will like it or not yet. :)
I thought Insane would be helpful when I first started since you could talk to yourself, but the unpredictability eventually became a nuisance. I also do NOT recommend the Neat trait for this.
I'm going to be disappointed if the big announcement is that we're getting the "Jealous" Trait for free. The New Trait "Jealous" has shown up in my game recently. It's pretty weak, like the rest of the traits.
Oh come on. Really? I had nearly 500 LOLs, and now they've taken them all away! Where's the 'Sadness' button? I need to press it 479 times. Once for every LOL I lost. :'(
Great post. I agree with a lot of it. Particularly about how the traits are mostly irrelevant. I know I recall many times devs have mentioned that Sims are way more sophisticated, but that it's subtle. I don't know if they were just blowing smoke or if they really just don't realize they are incorrect. It's not that it's…
It's pretty situational as far as stuff packs go. And it would be a lot more worthwhile with a Seasons Expansion Pack. Nevertheless, I always liked building haunted houses in my towns as part of Sims Stories I create, so any sort of items that benefit that theme are welcome in my game.
Spooky Stuff is evil. I spent an hour trying to uninstall and reinstall Sims and get the superhero costume to appear. Nope. Turns out it's a party reward. Game: MWA HA HA!!! So you want this sweet superhero costume eh? Well then I guess you'll have to SOCIALIZE WITH OTHER PEOPLE! *lightning crash* Me: Nooooooooooo! I wish…
I barely remember last week let alone last year, but the capacity to report some posts would be useful. It might get abused though. It would be unfortunate if the Report button became the new Zagadoo.
Typically my sims don't ever date or marry because I, personally, am very much a loner. XD Having another person around is just not my cup of tea, and so it goes with my sims. However, that's not so say I have any objections to a happy couple! Personally, I find cheating to be a lot more funny in Sims, particularly with…
Babies are the least interesting to me, as their interactions are limited. Surprisingly, I'm liking children and teens a lot more in this game, though I do find the teens to be too close to young adults in physical appearances. I know they're trying to represent a 16-18 age rage for that group, and having them full-grown…
If Sims 4 got scrapped then I wouldn't have Sims right now at all. :O I don't think the outlook of the game is as bleak as all that. Not yet anyway. XD I wouldn't mind the developers re-evaluating their product however. There are several design decisions I consisently call into question
As I said in a DA review, I find the Sims 4 encouraging, but not there yet. :) I hope they will continue to add new content, and strive to improve the game. Even so, I still greatly enjoy playing the Sims 4.
I'm suspecting that GT will be better than people think, but not good enough to make up for a lot of the bad publicity. Oh well. :D You can't please everybody, so you keep moving forward.
So I know Zagadoo means Disagree. SulSul is a greeting... So um... is there a translation for the rest of Simlish? :D Specifically for the song 'Again and Again' by Wri Gaddison? (Love that tune.)
@Cinebar I've never played Sims 2, and I don't have any plans to, so I can't say whether or not I agree with you. There was a trailer for Sims 4 during its development cycle that showed Chuck Cenzo reading poetry to Gladys, getting rebuffed, getting mad, going to the gym, hosting a party etc. That is the Sims 4 game that…
I would argue that we don't know what kind of telemetry was collected, or how it was used/interpreted. Maybe, for example, they saw a shockingly low number of players hosting social gatherings with their sims. So they decided that was an area they needed to improve, and thus planned an expansion pack to improve upon that…
I get that Sims 2 was a well loved game, but we, as players, need to look ahead, and not dwell on the past. In real life I miss being a child. It had great things in it. Birthday parties, Santa Claus, sleepovers, eating cake whenever I could get my hands on it... But clinging to those things nowadays, good as they may be,…
"Married? HAH! You're kidding right? Why get married when you can date and woohoo anyone in town? At any time? Just by inviting them over?" "Pool or hot tubs?"
Cats and Dogs are a given. Horses I could live without. (Please no horses loitering in my front yard! D: ) I'd like the ability to own a tarantula or scorpion, and a clumsy or evil sim could set it loose, making everyone too afraid to enter that room. A pet chameleon would always be nice. But most of all I want one of…
