  • I would love it if we could do this.
  • Not all of the YouTubers are negative though and I would say the ones who are probably have good reason to be because if you're trying to make a living off YouTube you really don't want to carelessly bite the hand that may be feeding you. TheSimSupply regularly posts TS4 videos and he always seems to genuinely enjoy the…
  • Nothing wrong with being optimistic :) Generations isn't my ideal expansion pack (I would prefer for something like Seasons, Supernatural, cyberpunk dystopia or a farming expansion to be next), but I certainly won't be upset if it is EP3. That said, I personally don't think Toddlers should be content added in via an…
  • With a game like this though it's kind of hard not to accidentally break something while other things are being updated. It also isn't new to TS4 because all of the other iterations of the game had the same problems where something old would break when something new was introduced and it isn't a problem just isolated to…
  • I am so glad you posted this thread. I've seen too many people carelessly throw around the statement "well if a MODDER can do it..." without any real thought or consideration for pretty much anything that is actually involved and it just makes them sound so clueless and entitled. I mean, it must be so easy if a modder with…
  • Eh, not really. I'd prefer for them to take their time and produce something decent instead of sticking to some arbitrary time period and producing something less than stellar. Besides, the restaurant GP has just come out so that'll keep me busy for a while.
  • I haven't noticed any FPS drops myself and I run the game on Ultra on a PC that is honestly getting to be a bit past its prime at this point but then I'm also someone who can play normal 30 FPS console games just fine so I'm probably not the most discerning gamer when it comes to picking up on stuff like that. I have…
  • LOL I like Don, but he is undeniably a home-wrecker in my games :)
  • EA not showcasing it at a few games conventions doesn't mean they don't care about the game anymore. I mean, they must still care about the game otherwise they wouldn't be paying their employees to sit around and develop new content.
  • Those people who DO want to see the game fail presumably for little more than their own enjoyment / vendetta are probably just annoyed that they've lost a part of their "argument" / justification of acting superior or enlightened.* Personally I take sales figures with a pinch of salt anyway. I think it's great the game is…
  • I'd be down with Superheroes :) But Seasons is probably top on my wishlist if we're just plucking from existing expansion packs. If we're plucking from anything then I'd love for there to be some kind of dystopian / grunge-esque expansion pack. Not sure how appealing it would be in general so I won't be surprised if it…
  • I wish it was that easy IRL :)
  • It's a shame your laptop isn't able to run the new lighting effects but I don't think the game is really that demanding compared with other PC games. I'm playing the game on the same gaming computer I bought a good 5+ years ago and it's still plodding along just fine with all settings on ultra which I find quite impressive…
  • I genuinely do support the return of toddlers but it is difficult not to hold some kind of selfish bias because, for me personally, toddlers are just not important and I will hold my hands up and admit I would prefer for EA to work on other content that I might actually get some enjoyment out of having. I.E. I'm glad we're…
  • I think this comes down to time afforded to the developers. Someone who is creating CC as a hobby has all of the time in the world to ensure their creations are exactly how they want to be but a cog in a corporate machine just isn't going to be afforded that same luxury so in that sense I can understand why some of the…
  • Fair enough, but to me toddlers are subjective because not everybody is going to feel the same way towards them and place the same level of importance on them. Teens are also a fundamental life stage but they have been relegated to being pseudo adults and for me they lack a great deal of individual content to make them…
  • I haven't played around with the pitches at all yet so it may be capable of some depth and tweaking, but just from flitting between the various voices - yes they do sound distinctly male and female (to me at least).
  • I agree with you on bug fixes and whatnot, but let's be fair now - toddlers are every bit as subjective as any other content update for the game and while I do still support getting them back and believe they should be brought back out of principal, as someone who actually doesn't have much of an interest in the age group…
  • It is, but that's not down to EA. Within the realms of this place it is on EA, but beyond that it's down to whoever has made the site. Personally I think some censorship is necessary because of the cruelty some people are capable of. It might not be right from a technical standpoint, but to me if someone is saying…
  • EA have said that by default the new CAS gender settings should be "off" and they shouldn't generate on random townies etc.
  • But isn't that on the operators of those fan sites rather than EA directly?
  • Does EA have that kind of influence outside of this website? I can understand EA having a say in what is put up here since this is their place and they've put up rules that, while make sense, do technically infringe on someone's freedom of speech (assuming said person wants to have the freedom to be a horrible person to…
  • I'm hoping it is / was supposed to but something got missed before the patch went live. Otherwise it's two steps forward and one step backwards for EA. Hopefully if this is a recurring issue and not just a random game blip enough attention will get drawn to it for EA to fix it. People shouldn't be forced to have to…
  • I'm wondering that too now. In context it sounded more like it related to the gender / pregnancy settings rather than the clothing but considering they actually gave us the ability to choose this time instead of just forcing random gender settings on players it I'd be surprised if the clothing was intentionally left…
  • Huh, I did wonder if there would be a blip or not. I haven't noticed any townies like that myself yet, but since EA themselves said that townies shouldn't generate this way I can see them patching this since it isn't working as intended.
  • It'll be "off" by default and no townie should actually spawn with it enabled so provided you don't enable it yourself you should be good.
  • I love the patch! The new lighting effects are fantastic and it's making me re-think how I'm going to build future houses / lots. I definitely really like the flexibility in CAS now when it comes to the clothing and hairs :)
