Not true, I'm afraid. I'm old enough to have bought games in store (probably bought my first pc game with my own money 25 years ago). They often came with physical pre-order freebies - mini figures, caps, bonus disc, mini guides and so on. Used to resell them usually for profit on Ebay. Pre-order bonuses are not new to…
I'm going to hold off on a full opinion until we know more, but I personally loved the Sims 3 store concept. I had a ton of fun on the sims 3 forums and made some very good friends, many of whom I'm still in touch with today. We spent most of our time in the gifting forum, running and entering contests, treating people on…
Development may have started pre-quarantine, but that trailer language was deliberate - it is designed to tug at the heartstrings of al those who miss travelling - like one of those emotion-manipulating Christmas adverts!!
The platform tool was definitely something that really grabbed them. And I can't wait to see it used in lots of different ways once the pack is out. And yes, loving the functional builds, they all (esp lilsimsie's) had a "move straight in" vibe - I feel I can get on with playing with this world, without having to do much…
I absolutely love the new builds! I especially like the look of how they've used the new platforming tool - looking forward to seeing how they have used this in detail when they break down their builds and also when they get to play with it without EA restrictions! I watched Plumbella yesterday and she pointed out that…
No. Any games you own, you own. End of. Any games you want to "rent" from their collection, you pay to access. Just like Xbox pass or several other gaming platforms. If you didn't already own the sims, you could play the base game with your EA sub. It has no impact on games you own.
Would love a time travel pack, with the option to go choose a futuristic world or a medieval world. Futuristic world would include hover cars, horse and carriage in medieval world, awesome futuristic/medieval build/buy and the chance to come back to warn your sims of future events. Maybe some butterfly effect, where if you…
I mix between gameplay and either building myself, or tweaking Gallery builds. I play with MOO and don't really have a problem with Gallery builds. I always tweak something anyway, even if the build is awesome, so if there's a routing issue, it's usually pretty simple to fix. I also spend a lot of time CC shopping. I never…
Erm... a little unheard-of game called Minecraft? Never killed the Ender Dragon but made lots of lovely medieval and modern houses. Don't "play" the game (as far as you can play such a game).
No, not particularly. Not opposed to space stuff, but rather the use of a specific franchise. They could have had so much fun parodying SW, Trekkies, BSG, Firefly etc, but this is breaking the fourth wall. I would have felt the same about Harry Potter/LOTR/Doctor Who etc, even though I LOVE all of those and like creating…
Hi, what a lovely thing your are doing. I'm glad you got lucky too with the Origin sales. I'm just working on completing the store at the moment, maybe with the Tudor set as the one I've been collecting bits of most recently. My wishlist is http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=MissElpheba Thanks again for your…
I'll sign. I had thought about finishing off my store collection this weekend if there had been a good simpoint or store sale. Very disappointed with EA. This game has been around a long time, with a huge fanbase, that have been loyal for many years - even with the Katy Perry fiasco! Plus from a marketing perspective these…
Does anyone have a quick way of copying threads and useful posts to a mirror forum of some kind? Not technical here, so I don't know what exactly could be done, but there is so much useful info on these forums - technical - building tips - gameplay - plus legacies stories etc. This is a bit rubbish to throw a forum…
What a lovely thread!! I wanted to pop in and thank exotickitten, Mikezumi and JACKIEMALEK2 for my wonderful Mother's Day gifts. What a lovely surprise. And a huge thank you to my sweet friend anettesb for nominating me! I don't get as much time to pop on as I'd like, since by day I'm running round the apartment keeping my…
To: Ra345 From: MissElpheba You've been so very patient, my dear, and I am sorry I could not get this to you sooner in the gifting period. I enjoyed reading your letter, and while I didn't have time this year to build, I did want to do something to add to your male population, since you seemed ready to accept new male…
Hun!!! Thank you so, so much! I love it - I've left a more eloquent reply on the present thread, but I didn't want you to think I hadn't seen it so I came over here to say thank you too!!! I'm so amazed and happy!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: To my partner (even though you don't know who you are!) - I haven't forgotten…
OMG Springfalls!! Thank you so, so much! What an amazing gift! I adore the house - the colour's you've used are perfect. And the nursery, ready made adds a level of poignancy to the story (which is also wonderful and I look forward to continuing it!). Lycan Estate will fir right into Moonlight Falls! And I love the Alpha…
Hi All, Thought I'd drop in now and let you know that I'm unlikely to have my gift ready until Monday or Tuesday. Life is super-dooper busy, as I have real-life homemade gifts to finish for friends, teachers etc, plus we're flying out to England on Friday and I need to finish all my shopping, pack and get a family of four…
Not upset with you at all, but a little disappointed with EA for being a bit Grinchy and lacking any seasonal goodwill. A small discount would have seen me buying this already. Now I'm debating whether I actually need this right now or can afford to wait a while. After all, there's only a week until my family and I fly out…
Also hoping for a sale on the venue. My simpoint spending is going to be reined in tight for quite some time after this week, what with Christmas and then saving up for a holiday next year, so any discount on the venue would be much appreciated as it would give me a few extra points to gift others with.
Hmmmm...think I'll wait until EA sorts itself out before I buy. The main thing I want is the venue anyway, so until that's up and others have said all is working as it should, I think I'll sit tight.
Checking in. :) I've had to scale down my ideas a little, since my baby girl was poorly for most of last week, and is only just recovered - meaning that any down-time we've been able to get has been spent catching up on lost Zzzzzz's. However I will have a gift ready in time, I promise!
Wow!!! That roller coaster!! The world looks nice but the roller coaster (therefore the venue) is the most exciting for me. I want to make a pleasure/carnival world, with rollercoaster, arcade, casino, parks, festival stuff, circus stuff etc, and just have this amazing fun themed adventure! A place to combine all the fun…
