I have been playing The Sims since 2001, when Livin Large came out. My avatar deliberately looks like Chris Roomies from TS1.

  • Archive.org has a copy here: https://web.archive.org/web/20230121082902/http://simsinteriordesigns.com/#primary - Unfortunately though, it seems to only be a text copy.
  • My wish list is this: 1. Color wheel returns either in-game or as a separate program bundled with the game. 2. Create a pattern returns in-game or as a separate program bundled with the game. 3. World editing returns as a separate program bundled with the game. This program could also make edited world uploads available…
  • Leak showed up recently from last playtesting session. Might be awhile until the next one.
  • Now we have a family chore chart...

  • Well, at least the mens wear pack is out, and mens clutter items such as shavers. As to hobbies, they have basketball items and esports tournaments in another pack, and also a man cave. So far no golf though as of March 2024. Body hair also came out with High School years. (Finally!!) Dirt under the nails would make…
  • PS - This type of info can be found on EA help now, but probably not for legacy titles like the Sims 2.
  • Most official game foods are usually added automatically to custom menu food lists. Modded foods that are added also will show up on this list. You will need to go into your lot settings where you pick the staff uniforms, then select a menu to change, then add and remove entrees and drinks as you wish. I added Plasma Jane…
  • Yes, service animals should be allowed in venues. The service animals would all be wearing the special labeled harness. Most service animals that are not there for emotional support are large dogs, and they have been trained to sit down or lay down when in public and not traveling. Smaller dogs and cats can not only…
  • I think cars would be a full EP or GP. Likewise with performers and bands, especially considering if they add lots of new instruments and band jams. Hotels and casinos could be a EP or GP since we already have rentals. Meanwhile, hopefully someone makes the object mods one would expect in a casino. Fairies and zombies, def…
  • I tend to prefer cc most of the time except for mods that improve gameplay. Of those, I tend to like mods that make decorative items functional, add new harvestables and recipes, career mods, event mods, new traits and aspirations. Those are less likely to conflict with each other. I have tried out user interface mods and…
  • You can add your own custom music to your Sims radio stations by copying an mp3 file on your computer to documents/electronic arts/the sims 4/custom music. You should see all your sim radio stations there. So, say, if you wanted to put Shake it off in your pop music playlist, you would put it there under the pop folder. I…
  • It just goes to show how much more responsive their team is. Their budget isn’t strangled by red tape, either. I noticed real quick, way back when we started hearing about Paralives, that some of the features they were implementing that players wanted but had been ignored, just somehow, stopped being ignored. Like curved…
  • Lately most of Lil Ms Sams updated working mods can be found on Curseforge, FYI. The one thing I like about Curseforge is it alerts you when a mod downloaded thru them has a newer version.
  • I could definitely see something like this in Windenburg. I can't picture it in Oasis Springs or a very urban setting like San Myshuno. If you were going to add it to all the parks, you would need to edit the existing lots to add the ride. Also, it does not seem like most existing worlds can be modified, even by Maxis.…
  • FYI...many or most of icemunmun's food mods can be found free on Curseforge. Several other creators have mods there too. Another place to check is modthesims. But if you are looking for animations, generally those are the hardest mods to make: most mods tend to use existing animations.
  • As a Gen-Xer, I can point you in the right direction. (I am in my 50s, born in the 1970s, the actual boomer generation is my mom's and uncle's generation, both born in the 40s after the soldiers came home from the war. Hence the boomer generation...because those soldiers got busy.) The original Bob Newbie from the Sims…
  • They already tried several multiplayer Sims games/spinoffs: The Sims Online (also the first Sims subscription service), The Sims Social, The Sims Freeplay, and The Sims Mobile. None of them are as full an experience as even Sims 4, though Freeplay comes close. To be fair though, FreePlay was better than The Sims 4 at…
  • I would like it more spicy, Sims 1 or 2 level for base game, keeping in mind this is a T rated game, not an E (everyone including under 10) game. Right now, the trend is to make T games into E-10+ games. The Sims was not meant to be a little kids game in its entirety. Little kids can enjoy parts of the game, like just the…
  • Best of Sims 3: The Sims team did actually try to top Sims 2 here, and it shows. People complained about the art style, but Sims 3 did bring back BOTH the fame gameplay from Sims 1, and the university gameplay from Sims 2. It also improved the CAS, buy mode, and build modes even more with even better categorization. It…
  • Best of Sims 2: So many new things added with Sims 2 compared to Sims 1. The CAS mode was vastly improved over Sims 1, adding cosmetics, hair, tops, bottoms, and shoes, instead of just heads and bodies. Aging was brand new. Aspirations were brand new. Basements and foundations were a thing for the first time. The annoying…
  • My best of Sims 1 (to be continued for other games) 1. Sims 1: It was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. And each expansion pack added HUGE leaps to the game. The music was probably the best of any game since. And every time a new pack was installed, the loading music and screen changed. (Unless your first…
  • 1. If the game is running or loading slowly, the first thing to try is make sure all mods are updated. Old mods can really slow down a game. 2. Rename your whole mods folder to "Mods Old" and start with a brand new empty mods folder. And a new save, if you had a lot of custom content. Playing the game "vanilla" with NO…
  • I tend to go with about 3 feet (1 meter) per square on the grid. If you think about it, a double bed or queen might be 6 feet wide and 6 to 9 feet long. Dressers and bookshelves, likewise, typically about 3 feet wide, same with major appliances: stoves, dishwashers, washer, dryer. Sinks and counters also take up about the…
  • I will not buy Sims 5 if it is: * Constantly displaying intrusive ads that interrupt gameplay, or constantly nags me to "top up". (Then again, ad=bathroom break). * Is Only available by subscription and/or requires a separate subscription outside EA play (basic, not pro). I already do have a basic EA play subscription, but…
  • I've tried it a few times. Mostly, my Sims 1 selves got lonely and complained about the lack of open floor plans (room score), and my Sims 2 selves either got lonely or were not having enough fun. (Usually if I money-cheated and bought them the hot tub that fixed the fun issue, and if I used the rabbit hole from Makin…
  • I heard a kit is on its way, but medieval could easily be a whole EP if they added a whole world and a time-travel feature. Instead of cracking the screen on the smartphone during time-travel, (making several of us wish for the old phone back after returning from time travel), the apps displayed on the smartphone in Sims 4…
