Wow, it's been a while since I last came to the forums. Lately I've been playing my 100 baby challenge (which is kind of family play?). This is the first matriarch, Naomi. After 21 babies she's surprisingly still not even halfway through her young adult stage.
She paints for a living, which is fun for me because I get to see a bunch of nice art.
But mostly she hunts down menfolk and is pregnant. She has a pretty sad life.
Here are some of her children eating a meal together.
And the whole family (minus the fifteen other children) bonding over an arcade game.
@sparkfairy1@elanorbreton@scobre sorry to hear you haven't all been well, but I'm glad your wrist is improving Eleanor. I can join the sick club but thankfully I am well on the mend. I had some jaw inflammation followed by a very very painful nerve condition in the face. Thankfully I have meds now which is treating it and I'm back at work part time. Sending healing thoughts to all who are not well. Xx
Gosh, that sounds horrid @cherpar I hope that it is soon completely healed.
I finally got my trackball yesterday and... it was faulty Two weeks of waiting to play my game for nothing. I have given up on that seller and am ordering a more expensive one from Amazon Prime, at least I will get it tomorrow in time for CL! I'm not massively excited about the new ep, but I am looking forward to trying it out.
I miss the days of ts3 when the excitement was so high I would be hanging out of my porch looking for the postman arriving with my new disc... I'd snatch it out of his hand, calling him a hero and giggling excitedly, then run to my pc whilst ripping off the packaging with my teeth. Ah, those were the days.
I may try out the new patch soon but atm i cant be bothered, i never thought id say that in the same sentence as the sims.
Im currently enjoying the remastered version of skyrim and i was on it six hours last night before i realised what time is was.

While I can't play the Remastered version on my computer, I will get it for the PS4 for Christmas. I do have regular Skyrim though and have been playing that.

remastered? How'd I miss this? Tell me more, give me links!! Please!!
Hope everyone is doing better. Life is busy and puter is still wonky so not playing as much as I'd like. Hubby gave me Rise of the Tomb Raider (with the downloaded content) for my birthday and I've been enjoying playing it. It is not quite as linear as previous versions so that is fun being able to pick and choose which cave or mission to do. I'm just playing on explorer level so not as much killing, but enough to make me cringe a bit.
@elanorbreton I do hope that you will enjoy CL and your new trackball arrives in time to play it. I'm sorry to say that I don't see one thing in it that makes me go WOW...I've got to buy the base so I can get this. Seems like they would be trying to woo people like me with a much better wow factor in the EP's. But, who am I, just a former customer.
I've pretty much decided from Grants interview and the things that are said in the simulation tech thread by the guru there, that the dev's will always have to make choices, and for some reason they seem to make strange ones that don't feel like simulation game play. But, they don't feel this is a simulation game, but some kind of warp between rpg and time management so guess those choices fit that. It just doesn't fit me.
Sorry you haven't felt too great @sparkfairy1 *sending fluffy pink hugs and a hot water bottle*
Did folks see the patch notes today? One I am really, really pleased about:
We fixed an issue that was unintentionally creating romantic relationships between married Sims not currently in the active household and NPCs. Married sims will not form romantic relationships with other NPCs while you are playing another household.
Edited to fix quote
Finally! This was the original reason that I stopped playing TS4. Still, yay?!

If you already own all of the regular Skyrim on PC including all the DLC you should already have the remastered version in your Steam library. Anyone who owned all the stuff on PC before the launch, which was on the 28th, got a free copy. Sadly, buying all the stuff after the launch date won't work, but no doubt it will get a sale eventually.
There is no new content, and the textures aren't as improved as they could be but it's 64 bit and has a few other nice changes of that nature. Mods will be a little while to really catch up as the new Creation Kit won't be released until next week and only a few authors have had beta access.

Pop it in Google and you'll get all info. If you had the pc version and all add ons then it's free. Or if it was console then you have to buy again.
Gong to start a Sims story thread soon if anyone is interested. It has a lot of my mostly unseen pictures from TS3 a few years ago when TS3 was still being developed. I miss those days very much but I have stayed loyal to TS3 as it is quite clear that it is the best in the series
The story follows an orphaned boy named Toby who is looking for a new home
He stays with the Henderson family who have also adopted two children before
Toby is a very shy boy who feels more comfortable with girls
Toby at school
The children start aging up
Some cheating went on
Some of these Sims influenced some of my characters many years later. The girl here is not Jennifer but has the pony tail as a second outfit
Well anyone got City living ? I just saw LGr review f it . And basically if you like previous game play you will like city living. If you don't you'l l be disappointed. Because it offers nothing really deep, or completely new.

Just seen the review myself. He says 'a new skin for an existing game' which seems to be the case for TS4 expansions these days.
@cherpar So far my favorite kid was the one Naomi had with Bjorn. Her name was Aya. She moved out a while ago but so far no one has lived up to her cuteness.
@IchigoUsagi oh yes Aya is sooo cute I'm guessing it would be interesting to see all the different genetics.
@Horrorgirl6 I do but it's not out yet in Australia. Happy to report back later if your interested. But like I said sometime earlier in this thread I don't think it's a gamechanger, at all, for those who don't play sims 4.

Lovely pics @king_of_simcity7
I have noticed that they have reorganised everything, my guess as the new EP is about to launch and I guess our feedback is not needed anyway!
But part 1 of my story is now in a thread:
