  • I believe there is a known correlation between enjoying The Sims and having developmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorders. Actually there are several articles about neurodiversity and The Sims players, so I think, and I do write this with all possible respect, that your experience of almost therapy through…
  • Thanks for the information regarding this. It hasn't work for me, in terms of getting my content but at least I can see that there is some record that I did purchase the items as The Sims 3 launcher was saying that I did not own them, as if implying that I am a thief.
  • I have been experiencing the same issue. I purchased Hidden Springs and Midnight Hollow using sim cash (or whatever it's called) that is available to purchase downloadable content in-game in The Sims 3. When I tried to use the EA app when it first came out, I found that only the Supernatural expansion pack was available.…
  • Since the latest update, I have noticed a lot of hatred between teenage siblings, none of whom have the loyalty trait. The sister constantly feels betrayed by her younger paternal half brother. In addition to this, the eldest son hated the father for no reason and had the betrayal moodlet for absolutely no reason. Also, I…
  • Assuming you haven't already, turn off the wants and fears from the gameplay menu. That at least makes gameplay tolerable.
  • All of my Sims suddenly got a fear relating to their jobs. Most were in the upper echelons of their job associated with their aspirations and suddenly started whining about someone controlling their lives (as if the player isn't god in the Sims...) Every sim in the household wanted to change out of their dead end…
  • I don't like the make over because the ethnicity has been changed. The Goths were an Italian family, I thought. At least I assumed that Bella Goth was from Italy from her first name and complexion. Mortimer was obviously a Goth... A Scandinavian. The children had Greek names. I suppose they were a European family. Now…
  • I hate the update and will probably no longer be playing. I find the unfulfilled wants trait unbearable. I can't even be bothered to explain. I'm just done.
  • I don't understand what you mean? A friend with benefit arrangement is a type of romantic interaction, if you take "romance" to be a more child friendly word than "sex" and to lump it together with "love". It's like how we use the word, "love" in English but "love" covers different types of feelings in other languages like…
  • I started playing in 2004 with The Sims 2. I had never heard of The Sims at that point but quickly fell in love with the game.
  • I play, Hidden Springs, Midnight Hollow, Moonlight Falls and Sunset Valley. I like the overall look of Midnight Hollow best, but since I prefer my Sims to live in bungalows, I can't say that I find the houses very appealing. For gameplay I think Hidden Springs is the one I've put the most effort in on this installation of…
  • I would be interested in having the storyline about Bella Goth's abduction from The Sims 2 fleshed out and I would also like to know more about the Curious family from Strangeville. For me what would be great would be a series using CGI, not live action, with the main families Goth and Landgraab as the main protagonists…
  • Do you ever go into the settings in create household (or whatever it's called) and modify the features like you can do on the Sims 4? I mean CC is ok but I only personally use it for hairstyles since you can easily make almost any face you want in the create a household before you make the sims and if you do use…
  • I play The Sims 3 (after a break of many years) and have tried out The Sims 4 for a few hours. I think that if you choose to go backwards it depends on your adaptability and also on your preference and gameplay style. I think that The Sims 3 looks more realistic (people, environment, etc) in comparison to 4 and the…
  • What does unisex have to do with "pride" and why would one specific subset of humanity need to get an update whilst others do not? I don't think that there should be any event or update for anyone, just official events in the global calendar as seems to be the case ATM.
  • Couldn't you have just closed the game before you saved the new sim? Maybe used the back button on your mobile device? I'm sure that the reason why the cancel button isn't there is because the devs just assumed people would do this, or maybe not. I don't think that you were "forced" though.
  • I don't think that these characters are based off of the ones from The Sims 3, they look nothing like them. The Sims 3 had more realistic looks in so much as that they tried to make the Sims look like actual people (which is probably why they are ugly because more people aren't actually beautiful in the stereotypical way).…
  • That's true but in reality land prices don't increase exponentially like that for some sections of additional land. I think that the land prices either double or increase by the golden ratio. That's not realistic at all especially since these are green field sites. In reality the same sort of land should cost more or maybe…
  • I think that the reason why the land is so expensive and takes so long to unlock is because the developers thought that this game would be an additional game for people who are already invested in other The Sims titles. I noticed this because when I used to play this as my main or rather only game the prices, wait time etc…
  • I think that the DNA is somewhat random but preferential towards the human complexion because I have had two half human babies in different generations an both times the baby took the human skin even though the alien parent was my Sim and the human was an NPC. When I tried with two alien parents they get the hair of one…
  • I wasn't playing the game back when you first posted so can I just ask, did you actually get the story for free as compensation? I just wanted to clarify if you're upset because you didn't get it as promised or because you don't think that new players like myself should be able to buy it too.
  • Confirmed by whom? You know I think that a lot of people who claim that The Sims took excessively long to load either had terribly maintained computers or excessive amounts of additional content to load not just the base game. If you download torrents have lots of malware and other rubbish on your computer, don't do…
  • I would still play The Sims 2 if I knew where my disks for this were. Actually I gave up playing the The Sims after only playing 50 hours of The Sims 3 back in 2014 but I recently tried it again and think I was unfair in my previous dislike. I guess it took playing The Sims Mobile to gain a better appreciation for it (plus…
  • I suppose I liked The Sims 2 Nightlife best, but because I live in the UK I actually question if most of the expansion packs that other people know about where even released in this region. I don't remember about hearing about a lot of them so my taste is extremely limited I'm afraid.
  • I think that the retirement push is to cover up for the lack of content in the game because as others have mentioned if you do have 4 Sims you can quickly play through all of the stories. This is evident because one can reproduce with anyone so long as one has a level 3 relationship but can't get married until level 7/8.…
  • If that did happen I wonder how much it would be to unlock them. ATM it's just under £10 GBP of IRL money to unlock a 4th sim. With 600 SimCash costing £9.99 and the price of the 4th sim being 515 SimCash. I think this is more than double the price for the 3rd sim so I think the unlock price would be well over 1000 SimCash…
  • > @Tom_kinh said: > I also agree on the prices. especially for the Sim bucks items. I don't mind it they charge Sim bucks, but they're too much. I used to not like the surprising decision events, but now I have a lot of cupcakes from watching ads. So they aren't too annoying anymore. I really dislike the surprising…
  • It would be good if the babies, children etc had more actions. I mean if their parents could make them do more things and if they also gained relationship points with their parents whilst they were children since it seems a bit strange that a child reaches adulthood with only a level 1 relationship with their parent even…
  • > @gemjas said: > Honestly, this thread makes me feel better about still playing the Sims, lol. I started with the Sims 2 several years ago and never really stopped. But I have severe anxiety and can't help but care, to an unhealthy degree, what people think of me. So, when someone asks what I like to do for fun, I freeze…
  • I'm glad to see that there are actually a significant percentage of people who are over 60 playing the games. I'm quite tired of ageism in the gaming community particularly from some places overseas (I'm from Britain). I hope that I can get my mum into playing as I'm sure she'd enjoy it if she would just give it a chance.…
