  • omg I so remember how the sim's needs decayed in sims 1...it was challenging to do anything. I will say it makes me appreciate even more how the playing experience has revolved.
  • It is nice that was your experience! I didn't like having to meet the rolled wants or wishes whatever they were called. I just wanted to have my sim do whatever she might want to do minus the rolled whatevers! lol that would happen as one progressed in the game but it took a bit. However everyone's experience is different…
  • I played in a virtual world and the mannerisms of some people is so disturbing for me. Let me explain. I was interacting with people from all over the world and probably 90% were very nice and pleasant....those that were not sent disturbing messages that collectively become challenging to erase and it affects some people…
  • That is so true, this version (the sims4) plays better by far than past versions. That is a big plus really. It is very true that having a rig that can pull a lot of weight is nice too. Less hic ups for sure!
  • I so agree with you...I didn't hate sims3 but I did turn story progression off. What concerns me is that my enjoyment of playing things out according to my own scheme of things seems to not be the popular choice. Many people want the game directing how the lives of their sims will play out. It is probably the single most…
  • The sims 3 was lots of fun but it definitely had routing issues that became more troublesome as the game aged. I did have a good gaming rig and seldom ran into issues...the sims 3 version of Island Paradise was gorgeous and a nightmare for lots of people. I played the sims beginning in 2001 and have always ended up with…
  • Well, no I don't prefer that but I do appreciate knowing what the sims community has to say. I have always understood that we don't all love the game for the same reasons and diversity is better than nothing outside the lines. What do you think about the fifth version of the sims being an online platform?
  • I think game changers are very important to the sims 4 series. There is so much I never would have known about the various packs if I hadn't watched the videos these people provide. I think there should be a special mention to many of these people for the creative ways they present their videos because obviously some have…
  • I very much agree with what Michelle is saying here with the exception of the worlds and personalities. To me neither is bothersome but I also know that is my personal fit....I totally create my sims in my own imagination and relay heavily upon my immersion to experience drama events etc.....I so get that is not a popular…
  • I did like the icons being very visiable for the packs I own but it is fine how it is. I generally do not like change so I am used to having mixed feelings at first.
  • Wow. I will never forget her. Her name was Laura. Later she took the last name of the man she married...Laura Hanson. She was a scientist and he was a doctor. If you recall The Sims 1 then you know the girl with the bob hair style and full bangs. That was my laura and she was full on blond. Her husbands name was Mark. He…
  • I have played the sims since one year after the first version was released. I didn't come to the forums however until The sims 2. People were really unhappy with lots of stuff. I was really surprised. Some of the complaints have merit. I think most recently those who brought the concern of the Korean players was…
  • MelsieYT...wow from two sims came ..did you say 22 families? I love it! lol....oh what stories you could tell!! I do enjoy playing according to my moods ..so with really concrete rules ..I already know that I would not love it. Your "later" idea for NewCrest sounds interesting. I wonder if I got a little too carried away…
  • Simtown15...Hi there ..I think one full sim day and then moving on would be ok and really change up things a lot too. Right now I just play the sim or sims of my choice until it feels right to move on ..I am just getting started really and need to develop these sims so they have a life like appeal ...I really do appreciate…
  • Auroraskies...thanks for the link regarding service sims ..Heck yes, I am interested. I am loving these creative ideas!! I also love the pictures ..i need to relearn how to move in game picks to the forum ..i used to do photobucket ..posting pictures was so fun ...so thanks for that as well.
  • Auroraskies.....What do you mean with having NewCrest as an extension of Willow Creek? I "pretend" that New Crest is on the out skirts of WillowCreek because it is where many of the larger businesses are set up. I wanted Willow Creek to have its own story and because of the little streams about in the center of town ...I…
  • Hi there...I bet this could almost be a question generating it's own thread..lol!! Let me share with you what i do and hopefully others will as the answer will be extraordinarily varied. My Seasons is set to a 28 day rotation. I wanted each family to begin their own "traditions" based on personality, believes, and…
  • i think it is healthy to do something new after a bit so i totally get it ...hope you enjoy the sims three...i would play it again too but i have windows 10 and i don't think i can download them to this os ..sims 3 can be downloaded via origin but again i doubt it would play on windows 10 so maybe i will have to drag out…
  • elanorbreton....you seem familiar ..i bet we ran into each other posting in sims 3 did you have the same name by any chance or am i pipe dreaming? in sims 3 i used to have a long running thread called ..what did your sims do today.....anyways ..i think that in my rotational play that I will have a set up similar to yours.…
  • Auroraskies....Thanks ..this is a great thread due to the input of so many very nice simmers who have shared ideas ...it has been so so so beneficial to me. I started playing sims 4 in november of last year. (I have played each of the series of the sims however beginning in 2001..in 2014 I left the sims and was gone for…
  • MissyHissy.... I love that this all started with a bunch of pals heading off to uni and now they have scattered after graduation ...it is so real life what with some friends and some not so much ....it is incredible how your rotational play has grown from the original eight...i bet all those stories are fascinating! Just…
  • Threads like this are so fun because for one it makes it very clear we are not all the same "type" of simmers ..i hated sims 2 where i had to follow the whims to keep my sims happy ..i would push to get to platinum to be free of that ....i prefer to be the voice of what personality my sim is and if there is going to be any…
  • Metior ice ...thanks for adding your way of rotational play....i am having a lot of fun with this! Recently ..i added eco living so now i have every pack except Star Wars....i turned naps off however ...there is some bug repairs that hopefully will get addressed to make naps fun as they were intended to ..but this pack has…
