It's still looking a little rough. They did reply to a few comments on the scales of certain furniture items, as well as tips about painting a whole room with one click. I do love the fences. They've separated the fence posts and the fence pieces, so you can have as many fence posts as you want, you can fully customize a…

She did say "Year ahead" in that one quote about showing the multiplayer gameplay. Not "Years," as previous guru's have done. It's possible that with LBY and Paralives, the bosses at EA whipped their employees, and its gotten pushed ahead a lot more quickly. It would explain why they stressed a lot of features will not be…

Exactly, How many other spin-offs have dlc? There was I think one, maybe two to the Sims Medieval. But most Spin-off games don't sell near well enough to get DLC. This one is supposed to be Free, so they are putting all of their money on its DLC selling. They may never name it Sims 5, but to its players I think it will be.
-
But then there is the whole, you can play on mobile thing. If it weren't at least saved on a cloud, I don't see how that would work. I don't expect for PC storage, or other data to be revealed yet. They haven't shared anything about PC requirements, but I'd suspect they are going minimal. So more players can pay them can…

It's true, she was less than definite with her verb choice. But there is a reason she used that example, mainly because on the forums the most frequently stated wish (okay a little less, but it is common) is to have seasons/weather in the base game. Though I should state, she did not specify Seasons in the Base game, just…

I agree with this. Let's face it, no matter how positive your outlook is, there are going to be friendships that break down, arguments that happen, and people with less than ethical intentions. When this happens, Sims and builds will be in the mix. Imagine two players arguing over who built a building, or who gets to keep…
-
Well, they said it won't "replace" the Sims 4, but I can almost put money on it that when this gets released all updates and bug fixes for TS4 will stop. Unless, as others have suggested, this is a spin-off instead of an actual game. I also think their host was painful today. Usually she's nice to listen to, but today...…
-
Hmm, Initially I saw the trailer and my reaction was like, "That's going to be a headache, trying to build with other players doing the same thing on a lot." But if it is just by invite only, this may have an audience. Project Rene should pay attention here. They're putting all their eggs into the "We have multiplayer"…
-
I can't tell yet how the words will be until I play with it. Either it will be cool and we'll look back on days playing the Sims like I look back on Sims 1 and its children who never grow up. Or, we'll mostly ignore the feature and click through based on the predicted outcomes, without really reading most of it. I'm still…

To be fair, I think the controllable character in the video is the one who was working in the shop. He just switched to controlling him because he was too impatient to wait for his other character to get there. So the guy was basically buying from his employer, I guess LBY doesn't have employee discount. Or maybe it does,…
-
I liked the video. It's nice to have confirmation that they are going with SimMattically's idea for a low, middle, and higher class option for their Create-a-Household thing. And I especially liked the shop. How he had the character go up to the different displays in the store and see the different options to buy. And…
-
Certainly, with LBY taking more of an adult theme, vampires likely won't be the sparkly, cartoony type the sims has been going for. Sure, they will give you the option to play a "Good Vampire," but they'd probably also give chaos lovers the option to play a lot darker storyline. They probably won't give you "Plasma Fruit,"…
-
It's a wonder why no one has thought to combine theme park tycoon games with Sims before, but I think it sounds cool. It could be a whole stuff or game pack. We'd have rides they can go on, special booths selling food and toys, maybe a sideshow game (I don't know if that's the correct word) where your sim would try to…
-
As with all prior Sims games, occults will likely be a part of one, (or hopefully not more) expansion packs. They seem to be focused on their base game and getting "realistic" gameplay down first. I know Rod was quoted as saying he's not a fan of occults in some old article, but if enough fans would buy it, I have a hard…
-
Aaah, I see. I was a touch grumpy when I replied earlier. I agree that the new games, Rene included, will likely shine brighter than the Sims 4 eventually. There are still some graphics issues they have to work out, but the final versions of these games will be nice and pretty. One day we will laugh that we were comparing…
-
Yes, but Sims 5 having a store is almost confirmed. They took down the Job description mentioning it, but it's not the same as if they'd denounced the thing. They could've just filled the position another way. So far, while LBY did mention a future university themed expansion, they haven't said anything about a store. And…
-
Or we could compare Sims 4 with Sims 2&3, games that came out many years (sorry I'm too lazy to find real numbers) before it. Sims 4 is going to suffer either way, because it is a cheap excuse to sell us DLC. Anyways, we are comparing LBY and Paralives to what is currently out on the market, and unless EA wants to reveal…
-
Or it'll be one of the items on the Sims Store. To get a premade apartment unit is free, but to add a room to it will cost $$ and to scrap it and move to a bigger property is $$$$. Each $ will be special Sims dollars which you will use real currency to buy. No confirmation on this, because after they took down that post…
-
Hmm, curious. I hope they merely took that down to focus on perfecting the animations a bit, and didn't scrap it entirely. Most likely, that's what they did. I know the blank faces was an issue for many watching them talk. And true, if they have that in the conversations, real apartments are almost confirmed. I can't wait…
-
Hey guys, I've been thinking about this... Apartments, so far unconfirmed. But we should be able to make-believe them into existence either way, and here's how. First, each character has an individual account of money, and the characters can exchange money very easily, as has already been demonstrated. Next, they also…
-
I also noticed, when she placed the lot down in game, it was on a foundation, because the ground was slightly sloped. Anyways, I am thrilled to be able to build on a hill. Some homes, especially ones with any type of walk out basement, require a hill, or sloped lot. And you can't really do the same, without making your lot…
-
If you need a term to use, by the way, vending machine says exactly what your thinking without confusing us old-timers who have used the word differently. I agree that they will need to add a lot to make it pretty for everyone. But, it is still in development. That video about the Car dealerships, if you find it on…
-
Also interesting, and I'm not sure if the Guru's have figured it out yet, but the subject of both games is apparently more popular on this forum than Project Rene. Most of the time, when I look, the top most recent post is from either Paralives, LBY or both threads. Hmm, I wonder if that's saying anything... :D
-
I can't believe the title headline this week is LBY supports living homeless. That is a cool feature, and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Ever since Sims 1 every playable sim had to have real-estate. It's like in Colonial times when you had to own land to vote, I believe. Yay, we're finally out of the Colonial era!!!…
-
It's possible, Sims 4 is free to play, if I'm not mistaken. We will have to wait until they give us more information to know for sure.
-
This is very true. In Sims 3 the worlds were covered in Rabbit holes. Unless you got one of a few specific packs all of your careers were behind them. Not to mention other activities, like using restaraunts, where you got a choice to eat outside, where the rabbithole acted as a vending machine. In LBY you accuse the cash…
-
A couple of videos ago, they mentioned they were still fine-tuning the sound effects and had removed them, temporarily, because of it. They are probably still doing this. I wouldn't be alarmed at this point.
-
I was hoping that the so far only showing apartments was a sign they just weren't ready yet to show off build mode. But if they've included it in the job descriptions for the game, it looks far more likely as you've said. They will probably then charge real money to upgrade to a bigger apartment, or add rooms to yours,…
-
I agree with you. They will definitely be adding more, especially after its release with expansion packs. I remember when Sims 3 base game world looked so big. Then when they started putting packs out, I downloaded a custom version made by a player to add in more lots, so I could fit in everything. Here, we won't have that…
Howdy, Stranger!
