  in We need Prams/Strollers Comment by Miki September 2019
• If they go "MMO" with this I'm gone. The Sims was is and always will be best as a sandbox game. Having said that it'll also be 20 years old next year. How long does anyone think it can go on, yet remain sufficiently profitable to keep investing resources? They likely have a few more packs of enhanced content lined up to…

  in We need a Sims 5 disscussion page. Comment by Miki July 2019
• This is covered much earlier on the thread and all the others about getting points and all that, but I'll repeat: They came up with the system after a significant spate of nasty trolling and posting of inappropriate content. Some clowns would open accounts and start posting stuff like that and other general troll behavior,…

• The "memory" system in TS 4 is not great. One can save a "photo" as a "memory" but you must give it a label and that simply directs the program to change the mood of the Sim remembering to whatever label it is. One could take a "memory" shot of a Sim dying, for example, assign it a "romantic" label and when you cause a Sim…

• I can see where her telling him that she was a modder might look like a grab for superiority but, ---(not referring to the above conversation specifically)-- I have had nuisance software issues where the tech on the other end fed me baloney about completely unrelated "possibilities" until, running out of time, I told the…

• I had posted elsewhere and in the past that I didn't think there would be a TS 5 because since the concept is getting close to 20 years old it seemed a great time to "call it a day"-- I have re-thought those posts because in truth, as with the movie business, (The famed Rocky series, Star trek, Star Wars to name just…

• I'd like to see that, alas I never had Sims 3. Maybe someone has a screenshot or game video of this. I know they have excellent stuff about fires in Sims 1. ^_^ @puzzlezaddict Aside from the bubbles being in an heart shape, I can't catch the "little detail". It almost seems as though it would make a good contest!

  in Sims 3 Things you didn't know! Comment by Miki October 2018
• The gist of the replies to you on this thread is that just because some don't experience as many bugs as others --- either because of their play-style or what they are accustomed to-- that ought not mean that their issues do not exist ... and are not being adequately addressed through the now-annoying "Regularly-scheduled…

  in So Fed Up with Bugs and Gltiches Comment by Miki September 2018
• Pretty much. It's not the same as a Facebook (or various other forums) where both parties completely "disappear" from one another throughout the given site. But you won't see each other on forum threads.

  in Ignore function does it exist? Comment by Miki July 2018
• Hahahaha Now that was easy!

  in Ignore function does it exist? Comment by Miki July 2018
• Very interesting and good to know you did not have to delete the whole thing and start over. I suppose you already know in the future to be wary of whatever you put in there. Modders test their work with the game and some of the larger mods, but I doubt they have the time to check their work with every mod or CC out there…

  in All CC suddenly got broken Comment by Miki July 2018
• .. I heard my name called. I read the thread and the only time I had a game refuse to load as in getting stuck "loading" and playing the music, etc. But that was when I tried to load a very old save to 'go back to what once was". This doesn't seem to be your problem. I saw Kimmy's (Park) notes and if you ran a virus scan,…

  in All CC suddenly got broken Comment by Miki July 2018
• Of note to those who want to have a sim plead with the reaper: A death flower is a "plead" and you only get one per death scene, so don't try a regular plead if you have a death flower handy.. if the regular plead fails, your sim is toast. except if you "quit-without-saving". NOTE: I believe the original source is Carls…

  in Pleading with the Reaper Comment by Miki July 2018
• FYI.. After months of waiting for them to iron out the bugs and give modders time to release updates, I allowed all the patches since (and including) the pre-Pets patch and updated the mods, including MC Command Center and for me anyway, everything runs as it should.

  in MC Command Center Local Help/Chat Thread Comment by Miki May 2018
• One of my "favorites" is a whim for one sim to "get engaged" to another.. to whom they are already married. I like the game as well, especially CAS, but there are abundant examples of "disconnects" like mentioned in earlier posts. I learned a while back that even in a group conversation, the sim who one is playing only…

  in Smarten up TS4 Comment by Miki May 2018
• @EA_Mage posted above that EA.com should run on all browsers, so I doubt @TadOlson's Win 7 unit is the only problem. I am running fully updated Win 10 / 64 bit and EA.com will not load on Internet Explorer. Just that white screen cited by the O.P. ** The site does load just fine on Chrome and I run AdBlock Pro on both…

• OP I feel ya. What you pointed out about "Pets" I have actually observed in all the expansion packages and for other reasons all my own, I have bought none of them. I would make an exception for Seasons or Weather but I got a feeling that would be too thin in scope for the price as well. * * * * Only My Opinion/gut…

  in I'm Out For Now Comment by Miki March 2018
• According to EA's "System Requirements" page, you can go to the origin store and view the requirements for a given expansion pack. Since you're looking to get a machine that can play Sims 4 and all the expansions, personally I'd check on the specs for the latest expansion pack, since they will base it on that expansion and…

• Being sick bites! 2nd to that, though, is living with someone who is. . User @Park whom some in here may have seen flitting in and out of here (only hit-and-run posts because she doesn't write so can't contribute much of anything useful) is flat in bed currently and I have to baby her, against her wishes (she is usually a…

• Waves Back. Hope all's well for you now that we're a month removed from Holiday Time. I love that time of year but it's really only special because it's so short. Kinda like the fall leaves. Vibrant colors for a week, maybe two then Show's Over. That's it for Off Topic from me. Carry On Guys and Dolls!

• Been ages and pages since I wandered into here. Sorry your ghost got the heave-ho. Spilled milk now but from time to time try pulling a copy of your save from the folder and storing it elsewhere. This way if something like that happens you can roll back a bit. I assume you tried loading older saves. The folder does keep up…

  in Writers' Lounge - For All Games! Comment by Miki February 2018
• Tedious but it seems this is increasingly necessary. I always cut and paste the Mods folder outside of the Sims folder, launch and quit. This way it puts up a new, vanilla Mods folder into Sims 4 folder. ----Then I put it back in after a launch-and-quit post-patch. Never had to re-enable mods or CC. Of course "that was…

  in CC GONE AFTER UPDATE! HELP! Comment by Miki January 2018
• Actually I would have gotten a kick out of that if said bouncer attempted to forcefully eject the trespassing feline and it in turn scratched his eyes out. That would definitely liven up any game. :D

  in I'm in shock at how bad Pets is Comment by Miki January 2018
• I found all these remarks useful in weighing whether or not to get pets. I'd have to say Nahh But I'm also glad there are people who enjoy the pack. I was already put-off when the pre-release patches bugged up people's games, even those who do not run CC and mods. Means a lot of programming and try as they might,…
