  • If Island Paradise weren't so buggy, I would vote for that. Island Living is quite pretty, and I enjoy my time spent there. But, it also feels lacking as far as an Expansion Pack goes.
  • In general I feel like they limited Mermaids a little too much. In my opinion they should be able to do a lot while in the water and live almost entirely that way if so desired. As they are now, there isn't too much benefit to them aside from being able to sleep in the water I feel like...
  • This is a known bug that happened with the June 18 patch. Influence Emotions and Dark Meditation do not work currently as a result of the patch. Someone here did post a mod that fixed it until an official patch comes out, but I'm unable to find the link to it right now. But it's a known issue I think everyone has in their…
  • To me Sims 3 is the better game. It has more content and more depth overall. Having said that, now that I've been playing Sims 4, it's hard for me to go back. Sims 3 was quite glitchy and froze a ton. Sims 4 runs so much smoother. I don't like turning my back on Sims 3, but it's too hard to go back and try and play.
  • Aside from the new issues with Vampires, I haven't had any problems. With Island Living officially releasing tomorrow, I'm hoping another patch comes out quickly that fixes these issues.
  • As much as I enjoyed an open world in TS3, it just caused too much lag and too many glitches. I just recently went back to play Island Paradise and it stutters way too much. I have a decent computer now too. TS4 runs far smoother. Now, what I would like is bigger worlds with more lots. There are some worlds that just have…
  • Same thing with the Influence Emotions. You can't do it inside a building anymore it seems, and when you are outside the Sim just gets the question mark thought bubble, as if they don't know what to do. I know the latest patch supposedly fixed and changed some Vampire stuff, but they've obviously messed other stuff up.
  • I really like Apaloosa Plains myself. And a question, but what is Moonlight Falls? It's not an official store download, is it?
  • I really liked the plant people in Sims 2, but Seasons in Sims 3 is great with it being an open world now.
  • These are fantastic :) Our black cat we have is named Luna actually!
  • A little more info would be helpful...what type of freeze? Is there any sound when it freezes? Are there any error messages? I'm sorry to hear about this, but a bit more information about your issues would help.
  • Honestly though I feel like after a while all of that new stuff from Late Night get's old/boring too. Pets maybe a bit sooner than the Late Night stuff, but after a while it all gets a little old. You can say that about any expansion pack though. Personally, I like them both a lot, so I can't really choose. I have always…
  • Same thing with that "ultra" pet bed or whatever it is. You get that from a rewards menu too.
  • I think it only crashed for me because I don't have all of the necessary expansion packs installed.
  • This may seem like an obvious issue, but I tried running it with only Pets and Late Night installed and it did indeed crash to the desktop everytime while loading, so the expansion packs are required it looks like. I know it says you have to have them all to run it, but I thought I would test it out anyways. Seems like a…
  • Well you aren't giving us a lot of details, but look into the DEP error with Windows. I forget the details of it, so do some more searching about it.
  • I had this exact problem with Late Night, and it was due to that DEP issue. I haven't had it with Pets so far, but once I followed the steps for the DEP thing it ran perfect. I forget how to fix the issue, but definitely look into the DEP.
  • I really like the pets expansion pack, but it's always been one of my favorites since the original sims. Cats and dogs are pretty cool as usual, but the horses are the real draw in this game. They add more dynamics to it and actually make you want to take care of them, lol. Plus there are some cool "small" animals you can…
  • In a sort or related post, is there an actual movie theatre in the town? I know there is that art theatre, but does that serve the movies as well? My sim wanted to go see a movie, but I couldn't find an option to see a movie, only to attend some sort of music class or go see a symphony. I tried placing the actual movie…
  • Have any of you explored the DEP issue? There are other topics floating around that discuss this issue more in depth, but basically some of the newer sims games have problems where windows won't let them run and blocks the .exe file. Honestly I forget the steps to correct the issue, but I had this problem where soon after…
  • I kind of enjoy since it does have that small town feel and is more of a rustic/old fashioned town. If you're not into a country or farm atmosphere though I can see where it would be boring.
  • I agree with the post about the blanket apology. Pretty much every PC game ever made has had some sort of glitch with it. I think some people are acting as though there is a 100% guaranteed glitch going on and EA is just being tight lipped about it. That's not the case. If EA is making a patch (I'm sure they are, seeing as…
  • Well I'm not really sure what else to tell you...I had the DEP problem with some of mine because my neighborhood screen would work fine but all of a sudden when I went to play a sim it would crash to the desktop. Once I added all of my sims games to the DEP it worked fine. So, not to sound like a jerk or beat a dead horse,…
  • Perhaps your old save file had some custom content that corrupted it or something? And as for a patch, computer games, will always need patches simply due the the astronomical number of computer setups out there. Something that may not be a bug for them turns out to be a bug/glitch for some because of their computer. With…
  • So far I haven't won any international races either, and only ever get to about 3rd place as well, no matter what pace option I use for my horse. So, I'm not sure if we're just missing something or we're just very unlucky...
  • Well I've tried that but instead it brings up the interactions/menu options for the art theatre, which is the building that is already there. My sim is unble to watch movies at this building and can only watch a symphony or attend musical classes.
  • I was able to just select the foal and select "nurse" as one of it's actions. There wasn't much else to it, so I'm not sure what's wrong...
  • As for that last list of questions, there aren't really any new careers or hobbies/skills that I can think of. Pets have the "hunt" skill, but that's for pets only. There are a few new lifetime aspirations dealing with pets, like having one of every kind or something along those lines. I'm not sure yet on the lifetime…
  • This sounds similar to the problem many of us are having where none of our store content is showing up in the game. The launcher says it's installed, and it shows up in the installed category, but it won't show up in the game. It seems to be linked to the Create A Pet Demo, but I'm not positive.
