Why can't I see my full wall? Is the forum bugged?

Am I missing the part where it says game changers or is that just a guess? :)
-
Also, this is simply not true. Like, really isn't. At best, some Sims 4 expansions like Island Living or Cats & Dogs could use more gameplay, as a lot of the budget went into making the Pets themselves and Swimmable worlds, other packs like Seasons, Discover University, Eco-Lifestyle, Get Famous etc are basically the same…
-
The Sims 4 packs add very few bugs to the game. Eco Lifestyle had a small handful and they are funny at best. Meanwhile towards the end of The Sims 3, packs were coming with *Pages* of bugs, but in this same post you're literally telling someone to try Sims 3 while saying 4 is a bug fest, a little like calling pot calling…
-
I just want to say, that you're literally framing the game to be a flop when we know this information; - Packs like Cats & Dogs and Seasons, sold 1 million+ copies in their first week on sale. That is literally 400k short of what the Sims 3, a base game, sold in its first week. Of course fan favourites sell well, but when…
-
Right, if it was happening on the world screen I could understand. But Sims 2 and 3 both had ads on their launchers and Sims 3 advertises Sims 4 in the actual home screen since 2014. It’s clearly effective or they wouldn’t do it.
-
FYI The Sims 3 uses very outdated graphics technology, even for 2009. People currently complain that large areas in the game, such as the Jungle in Jungle Adventure, cause them poor performance. There was heaps of threads when Jungle Adventure came out. And also Island Living got some but not as much. People are struggling…
-
SimGuruGrant confirmed there’s “mucho mucho” years left of the Sims 4, which makes me think that 4 will be the main game at least till it’s 10th anniversary.
-
Lol this. The Sims 4 is still getting incremental base game updates that only make it better and better. Why not leave the game the best it can possibly be before moving on rather than leaving it to rot?
-
Welcome to the forums! Love the use of Gromit <3 Despite being a girl, I feel like Gromit is my spirit animal haha. Q1: Crosspack; here are my ideas: Outdoor Retreat > Soothing Skin Balm should remove the itchy moodlet from wearing Knitting! Moodlet for being "cosy in the mountains" if wearing Knitting. I think it will…

I was really confused as well as I saw that it would require metal. I wonder if they’re delaying the 32 bit removal though (or cancelling that aspect) because surely if they were releasing Uni for 64 bit only they would have said something about it, so people on 32bit didn’t pre order by mistake. I reckon they’ll release a…
-
a) It’s in the speculation area b) The Xbox store, coming direct from Microsoft, is official confirmation.
-
The Sims 2 also crashes and corrupts easily. The Sims franchise, apart from the Sims 1, crashes and has bugs a lot more than most other games and that’s just the nature of The Sims games. Even the Sims 2 base game which is arguably the most extensive Sims experience for value for money, was criticised at launch for the…
-
I think mega buggy is a bit extreme. Dine Out is completely broken, but the Sims 4 bugs are just annoyances that need to be fixed. They aren’t game breaking bugs. With the fact there are 30 packs for Sims 4, and most of the common bugs are cosmetic or annoying, but don’t make the game unplayable, there is definitely heaps…
-
Then rebut what I said above then. I went through every feature of Uni listed to me and advised how much of it reused or just added stuff to the Sims 2 base game. Correct me if you think I’m incorrect :)
-
Yeah, it’s pretty easy to write a list like that and not look at the finer detail; - Influence System just is basically just telling other people to do something already in-game. Hardly anything to write home about, and is just refusing base game interactions. - Career outfits - Yeah, that’s just additional stuff the base…
-
I mean this is all subjective, but packs like The Sims 2 University reused about 80% of the base game. There was very little new content actually added, and EA just merged High School and Adult Careers. But sure, it was “an Expansion” packs worth of content. The difference between the amount of content found in Sims 2 Uni…
-
You were right on! Haha
-
Well, EA are calling it a “Realm” but while there is only 1 lot, there is things to explore. It makes sense to call it a “world” in gaming terms. Kind of reminds me how once you get into the Jungle in JA, there is only 1 lot (the Temple) but there’s heaps to explore outside of that one lot :) The Realm seems to be pretty…
-
I feel like Makin Magic has the best occult Pack we’ve ever seen in The Sims, while the witches may be better, it will be hard to beat overall.
-
Game Packs are the best thing to happen to the franchise let alone the game. No filler, all killer in most cases. I’ve always found that EPs have a theme, and then they don’t have enough budget to execute that theme, so that add a bunch of random stuff to fill the EP up, but the core of the Expansion is meh. With Game…
-
Do you play with NRASS? :)
-
3 is laggy because of bugs sadly. You can get mods that minimise this. But it’s not due to PC specs.
-
The Sims 3 had features. Having a list of features doesn’t mean they were done well. The Sims Freeplay has more features than 3 & 4 combined at this point, does that make it a better game? There’s a reason why the PC port of The Sims 3 that was released for console was pulled from digital retailers by EA after less a few…
-
*probably fan made* Lmao. You mean 100% fan made.
-
They did more than that. They changed all of their product packaging and identity, they updated aspects of the game accordingly. They launched a whole new advertising campaign, and specifically stated that it’s a promise that they’re committed to The Sims 4 and new content. The play with life video is being used for online…
-
The thing is Laptops (which is The Sims primary platform) have caught up to desktops somewhat. When the Sims 4 launched in 2014, only the top tier notebook GPU’s could handle Sims 4 on Maximum settings at 60fps. The Sims 4 was literally built for laptop hardware, as Chi Chan confirmed (who posted the video above), the…
-
If they are only hiring now, and it takes 5 years to make a base game, we still have at least 5 years worth of Sims 4. They’ve literally relaunched The Sims 4 and delayed The Sims 5 by doing that (as we’ve hit the 5 year mark already). You’re exceptionally delusional if you believe that EA are dropping The Sims 4 like a…
-
The game sold 5 million in less than 18 months. It can't be just "loyal" fans as the Sims 2 sold 6 million in its entire lifespan (at least as of 2012) when game piracy was astoundingly lower than when Sims 4 launched. There was more than "loyal" fans keeping it afloat and the game was never close to being cancelled. While…
-
It’s actually more like, if a McDonalds employee comes to you, takes your meal back and comes back with extra nuggets and a free chips upsize for free. They took one or two items from each pack and added more recolours. I hardly think that one or two items even equate to a dollar value for a pack, and the bonus is you get…
Howdy, Stranger!
