  • Stuck with it, and I have every EP except For Rent, every game pack, all stuff packs except the two latest ones, but only two or three kits (everyday clutter, Simtimates, and Desert Luxe that was a giveaway). The placement clutters the UI. Every time I go to the gallery or Manage Households, I often end up clicking the…
  • I run it on a 2021 Lenovo IdeaCentre 5i Creator Edition * 10th gen i5 * Nvidia GTX1660 SUPER (6GB VRAM) * 12GB of RAM (which will be upgraded soon due to Life by You requiring 16) * 200GB SSD * 1TB HDD One thing I like about TS4 over older games is its ability to run on PCs that are what nerds call a "potato"--very old…
  • I didn't want to comment until I was able to sit down with the Sims again, but I hate it even worse than I thought I would. I'm always clicking that stupid thing instead of the Gallery. 4-ish years of muscle memory, and then they add this thing to screw everything up. REMOVE IT, NOW!!!
  • What has me concerned is that the "cart" button could be a precursor to microtransactions in the game.
  • Maybe I ought to try it again. I can remember buying it when it was pretty new (year or two ago), and didn't have much. It also seemed poorly optimized back then, and (like with many first-person games) I got severe vertigo. Seems like now, they've really improved the performance and added a TON of stuff. Should run even…
  • And let's not forget about the MAC Cosmetics "clown makeup" as I call it. Even though I have MCCC set up to use my Gallery as the source for townies and NPCs, and the settings normally require them to be exactly as saved--still, many end up with that strange makeup.
  • I honestly think that the way TS4 is set up, as well as the massive amount of changes required to every world in the game thus far, prevents us from ever having drivable cars, but interactive cars are possible.
  • I had none of these mods, but am still on edge. At the time news of this broke, I had long gotten rid of most of my Curseforge mods, but still had them from TwistedMexi (which I may have had the versions direct from his site instead), SportySims, and LittleMsSam. Out of curiosity, mods downloaded from the creators'…
  • TS2 came on a "Double Deluxe" edition from 2009 that I bought secondhand at a yardsale from a family friend. So far, that's the only one I've ever gotten that wasn't a download. Windows 11 (and to an extent, newer PCs with 10) are a pain in the rear end when it comes to running games from discs without several workarounds.
  • At least one thing, the longer they delay it, the more of a chance that I will have upgraded/replaced my PC by then. All I need to do is up the RAM, and it's hard to do inside a compact case. But, my PC's about four years old, and I usually replace them every five. Besides, the current gen of the same prebuilt is the same…
  • As someone who struggles to stick all my Sims in the right-sized lot/house, I need more. I honestly think a kit consisting of an empty world would, most likely, do better than clothes or clutter.
  • I thought I was the only one who wasn't impressed by the style of the "Parafolk".
  • Continue exploring occults and other gameplay features I don't normally bother with. However, the competition (and Rene) will be making a bunch of changes to my gameplay and how I view TS4. Life By You and the various potential competitors prove that my hardware is aging quicker than expected. I will have to upgrade RAM to…
  • Definitely. There are SimCity titles that are older than TS1 on EA/Origin, so age is not an excuse. I have the 2009 Double Deluxe issue of TS2, and even that's a hassle on a modern PC. First of all, I have to use an external disk drive, and I have to set up Administrator mode to even get it to install, and even for Windows…
  • Seems like it has increased an insane amount since the last patch or two. It used to be very rare for my Sims to have a fire start, and now it seems like something is catching fire every single session--especially grills and other outdoor cooking equipment.
  • I tried a few more households, and I think I've come to the conclusion that it is, in fact random. Don Lothario--males showed up three times. Tried another female household--one female and two male.
  • The Vorn pickup from TS3 has been one of my favorite in-game cars, and I can't wait to see a drivable version return to TS4, even if facelifted (which the Tacoma it's inspired by was only recently facelifted). Do I want them--of course! I'm curious about the amount of overhauling it would require. Would it be…
  • Mine started out as a barely changed George Rivers back in 2019, but has slightly been tweaked to resemble me more and more.
  • Possibly the long rumored update to the worlds screen?
  • Am I going to be banned if I say that I bought the Star Wars pack for the droids (even though I will admit--re-dressed "civilian" versions of Rey and Vi are almost always a common appearance in my saves) back when it got deeply discounted a couple weeks after release, and I just got My First Pet Stuff since it was free (in…
  • Unlike Horse Ranch, it's not a "must-have". Thus, I will, most definitely, wait for a sale. That is, unless something totally wows me, or allows me to ditch a mod. However, here's what it comes down to for me: WORLD SIZE. Tired of worlds that look big, but have few lots and a ton of set dressing. Seems like we're never…
  • I noticed that Brickset (a pretty well-known Lego community and database I've been a member of for ages) was moving its forum to Discord as well. What's interesting here is that the Sims Forums and the Brickset Forum were the only two that I was on that used Vanilla Forums for its software/hosting. I'm a member of various…
  • Am I the only one who thinks the set of keys points to hotels/resorts as opposed to apartments/real estate?
  • To me, Journey to Batuu should have been an Expansion Pack based on the Star Wars franchise in general (particularly the original trilogy) as opposed to being a quite limited game pack based on a Disney theme park attraction.
  • I'm glad my hope turned out to be true--that if Rene was going to incorporate elements from the mobile titles in addition to being mobile-friendly itself, that it would remain separate from TS4. It's also smart on EA's part that they aren't putting all their eggs in one basket if Rene is poorly received, there's still TS4…
  • I'm torn. I think that we're just now getting good, with major features from previous games (like horses) just now being added to the game. There are also rumors suggesting we'll be getting a major overhaul of the worlds UI. Why would they be invested so much in stuff like this for a game that is close to the end of life?…
  • The actual hospital work needs a major overhaul, and I hope is one of the fixes. Regardless of your Sim's level, the receptionist, orderlies, and other doctors don't admit, diagnose, treat, or heck, even clean up the place.
  • Honestly, I'm hoping TS4 continues. With things like Horse Ranch coming so late (despite seemingly being intended or teased since Cats and Dogs), and the suggestion that the Worlds menu will get a massive update, it means that Rene will simply join, and not replace TS4. Seems that as suggested, it has more in common with…
  • I'm such a terrible builder, I have mostly just used the premade houses in the worlds. I've occasionally tinkered with them (usually adding basements and/or sheds), but that's about it. Practice makes perfect, and I'm currently working on making a decent ranch out of the big empty lot in Chestnut Ridge. For businesses, I…
  • In my opinion, the Equestrian Center could have been a huge playable lot that was a boarding stable, training facility, and competition venue all in one, as opposed to the current setup of it being a rabbit hole and Duke's Hall across the road (which is not a boarding stable). It's a massive missed flagship feature. The…
