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

[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] Every day a girl comes over the minute that I have to leave for work. She sees my sim leave for work. She comes every day and waits all day. Smarter sims my ass. It also really sucks because it stops the time from going super speed while somebody is on your lot.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;45884825]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...[/QUOTE] Same. I thought it was just me giving them other tasks before they washed them so they left them about. It's not too much of a problem saying you can just drag dishes into the sink yourself, but i'd rather not.

[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] If I'm correct, the censor mosaic bug was in the initial (Asian?) release. EA had to salvage a quick fix. I believe the pirated version is the very first release, just without the fix. The fact the Asians had it fixed would explain why the bugs are no longer present in American and European releases.

My sim's girlfriend aged up to elder and so I broke up with her cause I don't want to be dating some old chick. I gave her the cold shoulder and lit a warm fire to calm down... I caught on fire. Karma is a bitch.

Toying around with modding the game atm so here's a black facepunch t-shirt so you can create your own basement dweller sim.

It's a recolor of the t-shirt with the space invaders thing on it. (and god, I hope someone finds an easier way to preview textures, having to reboot the game to check if it still stretches awkwardly is pretty annoying after the 5th time.)

The mosaic shit for pirated copies is silly. The first mods to be released are going to remove censorship and add nudity.

TB and Genna better stream again, that shit was legendary.

[QUOTE=jp_rsardeto;45886269]The mosaic shit for pirated copies is silly.

I love this game. All the different ways sims act (like crossing their legs as they waddle towards the bathroom or slump over as they walk to bed) really brings the sims to life.

Gonna miss this little home, but it's time to move on to a bigger plot now that I've tripled the amount of money you start with. [t]http://i.imgur.com/9ZZfHvI.jpg[/t]

Anyone got any tips on how to build a decent, small starting house?

[QUOTE=kijji;45886647]Anyone got any tips on how to build a decent, small starting house?[/QUOTE] Keep to the necessities. Bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms + whatever you need to make money. Stick to mid-range appliances. A small plot will keep your house small and efficient, keeping costs down. Smaller plots also cost less to buy.

I'm so tempted to buy Sims 4 because of the improved features...but the missing features kills it for me. It seems like alot of people are enjoying it regardless which is cool, but I'm going to have to wait for a few expansions to release first.

I'm surprised, they actually made bills something to be slightly concerned about. A basic shit house just starting out and I'm paying $400 in bills. In Sims 3 it was more around $100 or less and by the time you were paying large amounts in bill you were making so much fucking money it didn't matter.

I don't ever remember paying a bill over $100 when starting out in The Sims 3.

Before I think about buying Sims 4 I'll ask this here: Does Sims 4 have a fuck-around mode where you don't have to worry about money or expenses and you can just mess around in the sandbox? I don't think Sims 3 had a mode like that and it'd suck to buy it and then wait for someone to mod it in.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;45873863]Can we see them?[/QUOTE] Wait until I get home and I will do several screencaps of them.

Just open up the console and type in motherlode however many times you want and boom, you're set. I think Sims 2 also had the ability to let you just enter an unoccupied lot and build a house. Not sure if subsequent releases had this though

I really don't know if I like this yet. Trying to stay posi about all the new shit but there's just so much shit they've removed (like dishwashers? Wtf come on) the face creator is nice the build mode is great but it just feels like such a downgrade The new UI layout is a tad difficult to navigate too.

Oh boy, I can't wait to get the Sims 4 whenever I celebrate my b-day this saturday (yet it is today actually). Coincidencially The Sims 4 releases in Spain the same day of my birthday.

I'm having a pretty strange problem at the moment. When I click on an empty lot and hit "build" it takes me to a loading screen briefly then sends me back to the world map. Anyone else run into this?
