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

Extracted stuff: [url]http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/23141/article/the-sims-4-flood-of-new-info-on-create-a-sim-mods-and-more/[/url] EA are just developing the game normally, they're not supporting but not preventing mods: [url]http://simsvip.com/2014/05/23/simgurugraham-on-the-sims-4s-modding-cc/[/url] Animation mod: [url]http://simscommunity.net/the-sims-4-first-animation-mod-and-its-kinda-explicit/[/url]

I wonder if they can mod to enable the other stages of life into the demo. Silly that they only included young adult. Also they've found references to pools in the game files, meaning they were working on them.

I want to try out the CAS demo, I already signed up for it and everything. :(

[B]Also they've found references to pools in the game files, meaning they were working on them.[/B][/QUOTE] You mean they're preparing DLC to unlock content they're already going to ship with the game.

[QUOTE=Forumaster;45476893]You mean they're preparing DLC to unlock content they're already going to ship with the game.[/QUOTE] Toddler DLC :v: [editline]23rd July 2014[/editline] I can confirm that they take expansion codes and will give you a key for the Sims 2 Ultimate.

Redeem 'I-LOVE-THE-SIMS' on Origin for Sims 2 Ultimate collection, they're just giving it away now.

[QUOTE=Forumaster;45476893]You mean they're preparing DLC to unlock content they're already going to ship with the game.[/QUOTE] The first expansion pack that will come out will probably include pools, however it'll no doubt be included in a free updated as well to the base game.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;45477335]Redeem 'I-LOVE-THE-SIMS' on Origin for Sims 2 Ultimate collection, they're just giving it away now.[/QUOTE] Thanks for the heads up.

I've never played Sims 2 before so thanks Sir Whoopsalot :)

I'm downloading The Sims 2 right now. Always wanted to play it. Is it true in some sense that people think The Sims 2 is much better then The Sims 3 or is this false?

I wonder, does the Sims 2 ultimate collection have SecuRom?

[QUOTE=ZyreHD;45477697]I'm downloading The Sims 2 right now. Always wanted to play it. Is it true in some sense that people think The Sims 2 is much better then The Sims 3 or is this false?[/QUOTE] Both have things the other does better. They're both fantastic.

OMFG YES

[QUOTE=Tuskin;45470926]My dad got a code for Sims 4 Create a Sim for being a 'Dedicated Sims 3 player' Which is funny, he doesn't play it on Origin, he plays it on Steam.[/QUOTE] Combined on both Origin and Steam I've got like 1000+ Hours logged, and yet I haven't got anything yet...

[QUOTE=Atlascore;45478006]Anyone know how to fix the black squares under Sims and enable Anti-Aliasing in Sims 2? All I've found on Google is how to fix the resolution issue.[/QUOTE] Black squares are an issue with Graphics Card drivers. Turning them to medium is the best way to go about it instead of massively downgrading to old as shit drivers. I imagine AA could be forced as with most games and stuff, but I can't verify that.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;45478063]I can't change the settings in game, shadows and AA are grayed out, the shadows also seem to default to high for some reason.[/QUOTE] Oh right. For some reason the game only allows you to edit shadows on a lot. It sticks among them all, but you gotta be on the lot to change them. If it's still greyed then, well shit, I have no idea.

Use this: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1238013&p=45419387&viewfull=1#post45419387[/url] It'll enable AA and let you change shadow options.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;45338835]Someone ripped the music from it [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82lZeUON16s[/media] [editline]9th July 2014[/editline] It appears people are getting it at random, not just popular youtubers. You probably need to own Sims 3 on Origin, but you don't need 4 pre-ordered.[/QUOTE] Kinda reminds me of The Sims 2.

In the cas demo can you save the Sims you make to import them into the full game?

Either it's gone or made way for a more complex system.

Are you making sure to search for $useSoftwareRasterizer within the .sgr file? I know the older expansions lack it but the games go off of your newest expansion, which in Mansion & Garden's case is the SP9 folder. EDIT: And it's TSData>Res>Config>Graphics Rules.sgr, not TSData>Res>CSConfig. I'm not sure if there are any differences in the file but it's Config, not CSConfig.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;45478513]Okay the game is insulting me now, two random Sims just walked onto my lot and their shadows are working fine, no black squares. Apparently every family I load up is cursed.[/QUOTE] Afaik, the black squares only appear inside houses.

I'm so happy to get Ultimate. Sims 2 bring me so many good memories I would completely change the lives of the premade families. I would make Cassandra wear underwear all the time, split up with her boyfriend and marry Dina Caliente Also, the mods. Omfg there are so many mods for this game. More than Sims 3 ever dream of
