The Sims Megathread - Come on in! The house is on fire but it's ok. Have you seen my basement? - Games

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45883678]So instead of trying to optimise it they go "fuck it" and remove it completely? And I'm supposed to pay 50€ for this?[/QUOTE] There's probably only so much optimization you can do when simulating an entire town of sims at the same time

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45883484]I was going to buy this until I heard it wasn't open-world anymore. Fuck off.[/QUOTE] You can go off your lot without loading screens, talk with people, find some collectable shit, go fishing and some smaller parks can be visited without loading screens. Sure not the whole two worlds you can go in between at will, and just sections, but if you wanna go to another lot, it's 3 seconds. So it's not as open as Sims 3, granted. But it does this neat thing called not running like absolute shit. Of course the loading time might go up to about 10 seconds with some EPs, but for now, it's for sure better than the mess that was the open world of Sims 3. If you thought by reading that list it'd be like Sims 1 or 2, it isn't.

what the open world WAS good for was having your sim make some moves at this chick in the park and then immediately pop across the road to see a film i dont know what community lots are like in sims 4 but if there was some sort of large town square you could go to that had a cinema and grocery store and book store and park and whatnot that'd be cool and a good replacement for the open world

For expansions that have been in 3 of the previous games, I think it should become part of the base game.

[QUOTE=Alex_grist;45883828]For expansions that have been in 3 of the previous games, I think it should become part of the base game.[/QUOTE] I'd agree with that. I saw someone else put it that they didn't want to pay for the same expansion 4 fucking times

Am I missing something or if the camera is not close enough I can only get a view from above?

all my other sims who live in the neighborhood constantly switch from their everyday clothes to their forma, so everybody is wearing tuxedos

[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;45884133]I'd agree with that. I saw someone else put it that they didn't want to pay for the same expansion 4 fucking times[/QUOTE] like, from what ive seen it looks like a promising release but I reallllyyy don't want to pay for weather, for pets, for supernatural types again, because I'm just buying the same thing over and over, things that the basegame should include now that we have approached that period where most PCs are capable of running the extras features, especially with the new optimization.

I like the Tech Guru career tree, plus options you can get on the computer from the programming and gaming skills. Also one of the branches is eSports player :v:

Oh fuck I missed the Chance Cards from TS2

Tried making Emma Stone, she's hard. I don't think I succeeded. [t]http://i.imgur.com/cRyIeV9.jpg[/t]

So err is anyone else having issues with Sims not cleaning up? I have a trash can and a sink but this lazy fucker refuses to do anything with dishes other than pick them up and move them to a different table...

Okay, is this game worth it or should I wait for it to go on sale/discount?

[QUOTE=Coffee;45884828]Okay, is this game worth it or should I wait for it to go on sale/discount?[/QUOTE] Buy a key off of CJSkeys, and it's already a $20 discount. That's what I did. I'm having a great time with the game so far. Right off the bat, you can notice and feel the difference between this game and all the other games. There is alot of good stuff removed. The game feels a little bit more restrictive. But it all works out. The new emotion system is interesting and the game runs fantastic. As a big sims fan, I think this game stands up well next to all the other ones.

I made a childish sim, walked away from my PC, came back, and well [t]http://i.imgur.com/KnVCjew.jpg[/t] Hes watching a children's show

Uh, for some reason my Sim only has one trait now... And it won't let me change it even if I do [I]testingcheats true > shift click sim > edit in CAS[/I]

I heard somewhere that the censor bar not disappearing and doing that is the games anti-crack mechanism meant to root out pirates. You paid for your game right?

[QUOTE=Zanfall;45885141]I heard somewhere that the censor bar not disappearing and doing that is the games anti-crack mechanism meant to root out pirates. You paid for your game right?[/QUOTE] Yes, I payed for it, why would I pirate such a fine game made by a fine company such as EA that has never screwed me in anyway, whatsoever.

Actually upon doing further research it seems like it can happen in legit games but mostly affects cracked copies.

An annoying thing about having a lot of friends is that someone will come knock on your door almost every hour. Go away already goddamn.

[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;45885237]An annoying thing about having a lot of friends is that someone will come knock on your door almost every hour. Go away already goddamn.[/QUOTE] That is really annoying. I just let them stand outside all day. I only let them in if their relationship bar is going down.

Who the hell needs friends or relationships. You can't build a business empire if you spend all your time making friends

Bob Pancakes won't leave me alone.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/LLTLZTj.jpg[/t] Day 3, my house is now censored.

[QUOTE=mr hobo;45885248]That is really annoying. I just let them stand outside all day. I only let them in if their relationship bar is going down.[/QUOTE] It's even worse if you only have one or two friends. The same guy appears every few hours like a goddamn stalker.

[QUOTE=Skyward;45885259]Bob Pancakes won't leave me alone.[/QUOTE] I have this guy called eduardo im not even a friend with him but every single day he comes at my house, rings the bell the whole damm day and stays outside until i "Invite him to get in",...its creepy
