In Australia, the Federal Government passed the Social Media (Anti-Trolling) Bill 2022. https://www.ag.gov.au/legal-system/social-media-anti-trolling-bill Basically, Australians can demand the identity of the abuser to be revealed, or the host can get treated as the publisher.

  • I don't believe the sim appearance will change. I believe the creators will stay with the general style and feel of it, maybe an adjustment here and there. If they get too close to what The Sims looks like, as how you like it, they would be ripping them off too much because from what the photos have been looking like, the…
  • The Sims forever! I love The Sims! Yay!
  • Sims 1 photo upload had a styliser so that the face blended with a cartoony look. And even when it wasn't stylised it didn't look quite right in the game, different to the close-up in the creator.
  • I've been playing Runescape and it totally reminds me of how that life-by-you looks. the way the guy in the picture looks reminds me of Sims 1 when you could put a photo of someone's real face on them and stylise it, which might be why they look a bit weird when they talk to each other, because the face is a stylised photo.
  • "large or small" wasn't referring to the size of facial features, rather the significance of the parts of the coding that control functions and gameplay. I have absolutely no idea whether code for controlling the chances of hair colour or facial features coming through, is a small, large, simple or complex part of the code…
  • @mw1525 thanks. I think it was one of the other two discussing about the single parent situation though. I was interested in whether the facial features skip a generation, or where I'd seen or heard of it, whether in this game iteration or in a mod. One of my observations was about deceased generations who if their…
  • Apparently the growing up into a different looking face than as a child or toddler was some sort of glitch, which I assume because there is an option in the nraas mod addressing it. I don't think Mortimer looks like Cornelia. Agnes does have an odd face, as does Morty. Cornelia's is more generic. I hate the hairdo the game…
  • Mortimer's family are on his lot, in their graves, and you can see them in his family tree in his profile. If you were to manage the dead, or befriend their ghosts, and/or find a way to resurrect them, you could have a closer look at their faces and see if he might be a product of them with the relationships changed to his…
  • This ^^ was a suggestion of how facial features skipping generations could work in the future. The added complexity only being in the way they are assigned into types. Then the dominant and recessiveness part of the genetics-programming would use the same technology as hair and eye colour. Doesn't sound too complex to me.…
  • I vaguely remember something being mentioned about it, triggering that I look for it occurring. Maybe that was Sims 4. Maybe it was just a discussion somewhere. Opposite gender faces in 3 don't have the same distortion they did with Sims 2. Anyway, it would be cool if features did skip generations. Maybe even though one…
  • Sharing your creations and stories is the social part. And the forums. I think they should bring back the in-game storybook feature with the upload to the BBS button like they had in Sims 2. The ratings system got rather nasty sometimes but it was mostly pretty satisfying. Currently with having to pull everything out of…
  • There's a whole market for games on PC because of the older generation, who are the largest demographic (the larger families from the 50's - 80's grown up and old), whom while working on their daily activities on their PC's, like a distraction or two on that, and have the money to spend on it. PC's offer the comfort of the…
  • I'm not so sure it was the target audience, rather to be inclusive, on-trend and politically correct. There was also a focus on aliens. It would not surprise me that because of the RL ageing population (the children of the trend of larger families from 20-30 years ago now being the older generation), there might actually…
  • Some people sound like representatives or employees
  • I'm just over half a century, but in the middle of university RL, 2nd degree in a row, Bachelor of Arts, previous Commerce and my daughter graduated just before I started. Back when dial-up was still an option for internet connection, and the main one actually, in 2005 or 6, I had money problems, on my own, with a kid. So…
  • The Sims is not a multiplayer game. People's sims are far too precious. Take note of how things travel when people write stories that are along the lines of the Bachelorette, Next Top Model, etc like my late friend dsydk11 used to host. The guest sims from other people had their own custom skins, eyes, some of them…
