  • That sounds awesome!!! I do wish they had more hang out locations and functional hybrid lots. I think the Sims is missing those. We still don’t have tattoo parlors :( Unpopular opinion: I am not for a farming pack, but I would gladly shell out the full ep money if I meant getting stuff for fairgrounds (booths, Ferris…
  • Ava would be interesting. I, for one, am down for collaborations with celebs, but at the same time, I think it’s more advantageous to go with a celebrity with lots of established brands that could make the collaboration more appealing for non-fans. I would love to see Rihanna collaborate instead. Rihanna has Fenty Beauty,…
  • That would be really cool. Especially if we could customize it. Like if you wanted to solely play in that world and have no modern creature comforts— you can select that from the menu. But if you wanted your Sims to have an immersive Westworld experience for a vacation. I also think it would be sick to integrate Occult…
  • “Who are we? “Werewolves not swear-wolves.” I would buy the pack day one, if I could have dorky werewolves who’s sheer joy in life comes from annoying the plum out of the local vampire squad.
  • I love occults. Werewolves haven’t grabbed me in previous incarnations of the Sims series, but if they’re more like vampires or spellcasters rather than mermaids or aliens, I’d be intrigued. However if that’s far down the list, fine by me too. I’d rather them take their time and give everyone what they want when it comes…
  • Right?! When I saw them include the “Console 1.34” I ran to immediately patch my system because I assumed that it was ready for us as well. Would it be so bad to say either, “we’ve submitted the patch for approval on console platforms, and we can’t speak for when they’ll be accepted— but we expect it to be soon,” or,…
  • [insert meme of John Travolta from Pulp Fiction looking around room, while shrugging.] I have yet to impulsively dive back into my PS4 game while blaring Reunited by Peaches and Herb. The patch isn’t out for console yet. I’m glad that this is being fixed by repairing the game for PC users though! I hope that when they said…
  • It’s very hard to tell if this means that they’re waiting for the clearance of Microsoft or Sony, or if they are still figuring out what’s going on with console.
  • I practically ran to update this patch, only to find that it’s waiting for approval for consoles. I know it’s a Microsoft/Sony thing but “UGH!” Forget free the babies, free my Sims from this patch!
  • It might be cool if they added difficulty based on past games. I remember The Sims 2 being more strenuous with faster motive decay and aspiration failure. The Sims 1, iirc, was notoriously much more difficult. I could see them adding a check box where you can improve the difficulty by one notch (Sims 2) or two notches…
  • I think Parenthood and Seasons did quite a bit for Generations content. However, I can see Generations being stretched out into multiple dedicated packs towards each lifestate. I don’t think they’ll make an whole EP out of it. I very much would like to be wrong about that though, but I think the team wouldn’t really know…
  • Patch is also not out for consoles too. Boooooo!!!!! We have to wait until Microsoft/Sony approve. Maybe they’ll cancel the patches release on us if it’s really causing damage... Edit: this is getting rather old at this point. They had a week to fix this, and not one person thought to test out the hot fix patch?
  • The patch has been released! Thank you, Sims team!
  • Patch is out. It only addresses the crashing!
  • Next patch (the skin tone one I’m presuming) I’ll try not to be too tempted and wait until I hear a consensus on whether or not it works. As much as my Sims need this fix, I can’t risk having a broken game again.
  • I have no idea if it’s true, but I heard that console has more crashes than PC/Mac. It seems fundamentally true, in that our fixes are lowering the volume, whereas PC has the -nosound command that (in theory) fixes everything. However, I’m not sure. People have been fixing this crashing on PC by disabling anti-virus,…
  • I don’t think so, I think both sides of the aisle are getting hit by this. Some are indicating the crashes are happening less frequently with SE installed, but they’re still happening regardless.
  • Tbh it could go either way. I’m a bit confused, because the main page for the sound crash bug makes it seem like the QA team know exactly what’s going on, and how to fix it. However, EA_Blueberry was on here yesterday saying that the fix is “the team’s top priority and that any updates will be added to SimGuruNick’s forum…
  • I’m not going to learn my lesson, and will likely download straight away. At this point, I have nothing left to lose. The console port is essentially broken until this hot fix.
  • Exactly! I have so much plans for my current save and I can’t play at all. My only solace is that everyone is in the same boat, and The Sims Team will never know peace until they get out the patch. If I remember correctly, even some game changers are calling it out as well, and LGR is even having the same issues.
  • I’ve not experienced this, but apparently the parameters for placing the cake have been glitched out. You might have to move the cake to the center of the counter or table for it to work— or select another option of aging the Sim up— like tasting the icing, making a wish, etc. I don’t know though, but try those and see if…
  • It’s been a week since this issue was reported. This has gone on far too long for my liking. I just want to play my game! :( I don’t know if it’s a “fact” at this point, but popular belief is that those of us on console are being hit by this the hardest. Like... I don’t want to see a SimTogether stream, I would very much…
  • I can help with this! (Hopefully.) (I think.) I had the exact same thing happen to me. What I think kills the grade is the activities in class, if that makes sense... if you click on your Sim’s portrait while in class there’s the “work normally/ talk to classmates, etc.) What you’re going to want to do is click on the…
  • Alright, it’s Monday... it’s the week of the 20th. Patch, please!!! (Patience isn’t my strong suit.)
  • I posted a concept in a speculation and rumor thread about the pack that I would really like to see. I’m reposting with edits here! I really think they’re going to do something with high school before The Sims 4 is finished. People have been wanting this for a while. I’m dying (lol) for a big Happy Haunts EP too!!! I…
  • I agree with you— I appreciate their effort, and to my own individual experiences while playing, I am quite pleased. I definetly have a laundry list of things I want them to fix wants, fears, attraction system, the annoying bugs that remain unsquashed! and add *coughs* the absolute novel I wrote about the need of a high…
  • You may be right. However, I saw that SimGuruNick and SimQARobo do not need anymore save files, and that they have an idea what’s going on. I feel like if they were working weekends, considering how far they got in identifying the issue, they’d have the patch out later today. But since they’re saying ETA: next week, and…
  • I think Monday. I don’t think they work during the weekends. I believe that they’re going to try and patch this as soon as humanly possible. There are a lot of folks that are not happy at all. While Snowy Escape seemed to bring back some happiness from folks who felt really angry about JtB, I think that this mess is really…
  • Yep! It’s in the background instrumental of the Radiohead song. It’s been a minute since I listened to it, but they’re quite similar— at least to my ears!
  • I can’t tell you which Build Mode song it is, but the Radiohead song is No Surprises. There’s a part of the song (you’ll probably know exactly which part I’m talking about) that’s a big part of a Build Mode song. Once I made the connection, I can’t not hear it lol XD
