I do love open neighborhoods, but I think with The Sims 3, we did pay a high price for them. I hope with The Sims 4 EA better executes the idea of a seamless neighborhood. I do want populated community lots back, and while I'm not a fan of loading screens, I'm not sure watching my Sim travel and then waiting for a…
Not right away, if I do decide to buy it. Assuming I still have the time to enjoy the next version of The Sims in a few years, then I'll probably pick it up after it's been out at least a year, has expansion packs out, can be bought on sale, and... is generally regarded to be much better than The Sims 3. :lol: If they…
I'm not at all ready for Sims 4, and so I probably will still buy Sims 3 stuff, provided I like it enough. My Sims game buying behavior has been altered drastically as the different versions of the games come out. What irks me is that the Sims team just seems to repackage so much stuff; they tweak the graphics and some…
I'd really like to have: Curved walls, fences, floors, etc. Spiral, L-shaped, and U-shaped stairs Vaulted and cathedral ceilings (that ceiling lights can be placed on correctly!) Skylights Ceiling beams with joists anddddddd Glass roofs, walls, and ceilings!
DarkAmaranth1966: That was where we went originally, but maybe we screwed something up? I've got four memory slots, each with a 1GB stick in it. Two are DDR2 PC2-5300 and two are DDR2 PC2-6400. Do you mean the end numbers should match for all of them? (Sorry, I'm so clueless!) Full dxdiag is as follows: System…
Judging by the way sales were run during the end of last year/this past holiday season, I'm not holding my breath for any other great sales this month, or really anytime soon. :( They seem to have gone from having some really nice sales the tail end of 2011 and beginning of 2012 to... sales that were few, far between, and…
This happened to me two days ago, and it was extremel frustrating. Unfortunately, the only way I was able to make it work was by restarting my entire computer and then going back and forth between starting the Launcher and shutting it down via Task Manager about fifteen times, until suddenly the window allowed me to click…
Please add me to the list! I'm extremely interested in the new toddler items, but I have absolutely no interest in the world. I'd really like to see this venue sold separately, and it's the only thing in ages that's made me consider buying more Sim Points; I'm not going to bother purchasing any soon if the venue will only…
Last year they ran an December/Advent Calendar knd of thing on Facebook I think, with various things that happened each day, but most of them, as far as I remember, were NOT sales. I think a couple of times they gave us a code for discounted Simpoints, on Christmas itself the Bayside Kitchen Set was free to download, and…
Unfortunately, I only really wanted that one set. I wouldn't make any use of the others in the compilation, so even at that price, I can't justify buying it. I'm just going to cross my fingers that one of the Guru's posts an update on the schedule before the Surprise Venue is supposed to hit - I want to make sure I'm…
Oh man. I'm so sad that all the DDs are all messed up. I missed grabbing Happily Ever After. :( Seems like so far, the first set was skipped and everything else is two hours ahead... This is just confusing.
Thanks for hosting, Shrill & Jimmysnan! I'd like to nominate lopithecus and dreambluangel, please. My memory is from last year, where before the holidays, my boyfriend and I mutually gifted each other with a mini weekend vacation. Because of a medical condition, I had been prevented from taking any sort of vacation for…
Okay, so since it's officially after midnight here in Eastern Standard Time (US), happy Thanksgiving to any of my fellow Americans who'll be celebrating today! And to those of you who don't live in the US and aren't celebrating, I hope you have a great day! I spent hours putting together stuffing, potato croquettes, and a…
I'm extremely disappointed that Monte Vista will not be available to buy with simpoints. It makes me really glad that I didn't rush out to purchase any after my birthday this year. For anyone looking for the legal reasons from EA's perspective, I'd bet that there isn't a specific statute so much as EA's legal team has…
The only thing here that I find racist or derogatory is the link to the "real" story of Thanksgiving the OP posted, which seems to imply that my ancestors were "outcasts and fugitives." I am a Pilgrim descendant, and I was not raised on a false story of Thanksgiving. After the first original Thanksgiving, which WAS between…
Holy moly, how did I manage to miss like, 10+ pages of this thread?! Guess that's what I get for not being on in nearly two weeks. How is everyone? I hope you've all been doing well, and hi to all the newer people! I finally got power back at my father's house late on the 9th of November; we'd been out since the 29th of…
Hi, everybody - I'm just popping in to let you know that my family and I made it through Hurricane Sandy. We're still suffering the after-effects and everything in my area seems crazy and unreal, but we are alive and physically unscathed thus far. I'm currently staying with my mother, as she has power and my father, whom I…
Just popping in - for quite possibly the last time until Hurricane Sandy has left south-eastern New York. It's 3:30am, and in the next few hours we're supposed to have tropical storm force winds, with hurricane force arriving sometime between Monday late afternoon and early morning Tuesday. Thank you all for being so…
'Lo all. Finishing up my storm prep. With any luck at all, I won't be evacuated, but making sure I'm ready just in case. I'll try to check in later tonight before we really start getting pounded - if I don't, it'll be because we don't have power. I'll be hunkering down at my mother's home tonight; my father works for a…
Hi, everybody. I've had a rough couple of days - I'm hoping to get some time to just enjoy my Sims and relax tonight. Yesterday was the anniversary of my Nana's death, and it always hits hard. I was my mother's first child, and my mother worked part time when I was little, so I was around my Nana constantly - she was like…
Hi, everyone! How's everyone's October going? Is anyone who celebrates planning on doing anything fun for Halloween? I'll be the official candy giver for trick-or-treaters who come to the house this year, which I'm pretty excited about. There have been so many people in the neighborhood who've had kids in the past five…
Thank you very much for hosting! I'd like to nominate myself http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=MidnightSky78 and dreambluangel http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=dreambluangel .
