  • This includes allowing people to express upset over a faulty/ empty game. Which for some reason gets labeled as "negativity".
  • I give up trying to get through to you. Have a good day Foop. And may your game remain bug free.
  • I would say do not go with this line of reasoning because you aren't doing them any favours. Blocking out your fanbase is what companies that go down do. Companies that rise up do the exact opposite. If you need some positive cases to study, look into No Mans Sky.
  • General posts from the developers/ company. Not the community. Are you really under impression that no other development team takes any heat? You are trying to actively silence people that are seeking improvement of the franchise, because you dislike their tone of voice. That is effectively your post summed up. On this…
  • Last post: "I'm going to lock this thread as it's to unspecific and lags have many causes. These issues aren't solved by any means Please create new threads. Happy Gaming Crin" And as I said, they're either incapable of fixing it, or are not fixing it. The outcome for the consumer is the same.
  • Depends on the size of your team and what you're trying to achieve. Normally you would have a Q&A department. If you broke your product, you would likely be pulling all nighters to fix it. This is not even exclusive to the gaming industry by the way. In software industry if the client would have their application broken in…
  • Because you're a working adult and not a child with an ego problem. As a corporation you don't respond the same as an individual would anyway and would most definitely not respond to every bit of feedback that you receive, however general posts about issues brought up by the community from developers is normal and expected…
  • I am not. I am back to playing The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. As a) my The Sims 4 is broken b) I can not get it refunded and c) I am a loyal customer for the last 20 years, I think I have the right to post on the forums, including negative threads and express my opinions. If all you expect is praise and shut off any negative…
  • The Sims 2 was limited to lot play, not even neighbourhood play and it had cars. In fact cars were a major feature that came in an expansion. You could set an alarm on your car. You could restore cars as an activity with free time. You could sell cars with Open for Business. You could take your children to school yourself.…
  • EA has refused to refund The sims 4 multiple times to me, so I still own it. On top of that I am let's playing The Sims 3 on Youtube right now, streaming it on Twitch and playing The Sims 2 regularly. I don't see why I should be unable to contribute to topics just because you don't like my contributions. Thank you.
  • Honestly? All of them. If I never believed the devs that they're going to improve this game, I would be at least 250$ richer right now. Now long story. I got everything up until Vampires and nothing past that point. Some of the packs were good on their own (Parenthood, Vampires, I even enjoyed Dine Out), but a lot of the…
  • Who is more likely to care and engage more with your products - People that have bothered getting to the forums, or those following an account that for the most part these days only posts ads? People following the gurus are similarly dedicated, as they are likely doing so to hear about the news, but that's about 30-50K…
  • There are a lot of reddits where giveaways are quite common (HumbleBundle reddit for example) and posting codes like this is a huge NO NO, because more often than not, it's a bot and not a real person that does grab them.
  • You talking about Rod Humble's interview, or is there more news?
  • I NEVER knew this! I read every advice forum on how to run TS3 smoothly and this advice only came up for TS2! Thank you for bringing this up!
  • downloading and installing rerouting on all the maps that I got alone on The Sims 3 cost me 3 hours :D It also doesn't help that you come to expect games to be "plug and play", which kind of means, you install and you go, which does not work for The sims 3 or The Sims 4 and I will forever blame EA for it.
  • I play with everything installed and quite a bit of the store too. I switch off Into The future, but that's more of a preference from me as I don't want the portal in my worlds unless I'm actively planning to play it. It's not impossible, but just like The Sims 2, I have to do a lot of work to get the game to where I want…
  • Well I'm a The Sims 3 player, just that I don't remember the life before the patch. I mean it's been like over 6 years :) As for the first statement, I feel like that's unfair. Streaming/ let's playing on Youtube should be seen as already "making time" because there are normally other real life responsibilities that people…
  • I would say it's pretty factual. I play with minimum mods, but you want NRAAS master controller, overwatch and error trap at the minimum, otherwise you'll have to avoid potentially breaking content just not to have your save come to a halt. Not everyone will be exposed to the same bugs, but the game is buggy enough for you…
  • What frustrates me the most is that people either don't know this, or buy stuff anyway. I had people argue with me on social media that The Sims 4 is superior in every possible way and that if I experience bugs it is because my system is not strong enough and the game itself is perfect.
  • Small time Youtuber here that stayed up till 3AM yesterday finishing my day's uploads and renders - if I'm not streaming or let's playing I barely play games. Because I don't have the time. I would be more concerned if they look unhappy in their videos honestly. The only time I look unhappy in mine is when the game is…
  • 0:13 the background looks like that house is on Sixam. 0:19 there's 9 bots or more. In order to recreate this in the game you would need to have bots form a club. No clue what action could make them march in two lines like that though. 0:23 this one is probably the easiest to recreate, as the skeleton effect can be cheated…
  • I'm pretty sure false advertisement is illegal. This could be reported.
  • Wasn't that just all the games on Steam that EA did this to? Like, I think you can still get The Sims 3 at original price on Origin, though sales are very hard to come by. Even worse - no more watching ads for Sim points and no sales on Sim points. I recently shelled out quite a lot to get the last 2 worlds that I was…
  • We start off the next chunk of videos with
  • 1. Has EA been kind with work-share, work from home, part time work and similar opportunities? One of the biggest issues that forced me out of software industry was the fact that if you're a woman that wants a family, or a woman with a disability, you got to act like one of the men and sacrifice your desires in a full time…
  • Renaming it might be a good idea. Even the tweet is calling it a "monthly".
  • If you get bored very fast after a pack, time to try seeing how much value each pack is giving you. You shouldn't be in a cycle where you pay money, binge and get bored again. That shows a fundamental issue with the game itself. And it means that after the game is done with its lifecycle, you'll be stuck "bored" with it…

  • It wasn't EA that fixed them and I'm still peeved about that and I'm even more peeved that they seem to be leaving even more bugs in when it comes to The Sims 4. It means that you need to mod it to get it working and that every update you can't play the game again (and the updates are more frequent for The Sims 4), because…
