Sooo, i forget to pay the bills. Shit happens. Along comes the repo man. He takes a fucking [B]fish[/B] from my fish tank, and two [B]ceiling lights[/B]. Wat

Well, won't have to worry about that in Sims 4, in that they just cut your power and water.

[QUOTE=alealienn;45632768]I mean, its on the "web" ... ps: Not encouraging anything :v:[/QUOTE] As much as I wanna try it I pretty much have no compulsion to pirate it. There's pretty much no reason to since it comes out for everyone soon

[QUOTE=HWECQI;45634296]As much as I wanna try it I pretty much have no compulsion to pirate it. There's pretty much no reason to since it comes out for everyone soon[/QUOTE] The CAS is a [i]free[/i] thing, its a demo... actually I dont think this is piracy, maybe its illegal but nor piracy. ps: Pre-order made!!

[QUOTE=Joz;45631872]Is it normal that The Sims 2 from Origin doesn't want to work? Normal installation, intro plays, but later it's just a blue screen with melody, no loading or anything. Left it for 20 minutes and still nothing.[/QUOTE]Apparently it is. I left the timer on and went on for a dinner. It took 32 minutes to load the first time. Doesn't matter, still played like it was 2005.

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;45633779]Looks like[B] fairly small edits[/B] made to the preset Sims.[/QUOTE] Nooope. All made pretty much from scratch. Usually starting from a skinny white sim with the first default face and working from there. Except for the second one, really. Her face was a few tweaks to one of the listed ones.

[QUOTE=redBadger;45631660]Performance > Create a Style[/QUOTE] Why can't a multi-million dollar game company just make a CAS or at [i]least[/i] a color wheel that doesn't lag? I'm sure it would be possible. I mean this isn't two or three guys working on this game. Hire somebody that actually knows what they're doing and get some optimization done.

Ugh.. Sims 3 University Life on sale on GameFly Digital right now for $9.99, But I'd have to activate it on Origin when all my save games and mods are on the Steam version.. should I still get it?

I think he made a very good point when he explained all the rendering the game needed to do and then finished with "on a doorknob." I never thought about it on that level, and saying that was a really simple way of saying "It's doing a lot of shit that is taking up a lot of space." I'm not saying it can't be done well, but with the considerable amount of trouble it caused previously I think it was better just getting rid of than saying "Let's try again." and possibly screwing it up again (also inflating system reqs possibly).

Going to post my sims that I've been working on. From least seriousish least serious to most serious. [B]The Skipper Family[/B] [B]Legday Skipper[/B] - An athlete, a bro, and a generally cool dude. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2fsD99k.png[/IMG] [B]Upper Skipper[/B] - Younger brother of Legday, shares pretty much everything personality wise with his brother [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/m7RkysN.png[/IMG] [B]Natalia 'Totally not a Tranny' Skipper[/B] - An athlete, goofball, and bro. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kenDAP6.png[/IMG] Last but not least, [B]John Skipper[/B] - Genius, loner, but ambitious. Totally not a future creepy uncle.

I've done this same Sim in literally every Sims game I got my hands on. She is is a romantic athlete who hopes to find 'the one'. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wXFV160.png[/IMG] Lastly, my Sim. Musician: geek, music lover, and ambitious. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UwEjbiG.png[/IMG] I find it so fun to create sims with stories and to create entire families. I wish they gave us children, teens, and elders to work with. oh well.

Alternatively, back up the My Docs folder before you do so and then put it back once your reinstall via Origin.

[QUOTE=redBadger;45631660]Performance > Create a Style[/QUOTE] Taking out features isn't a valid alternative to optimizing your game

[QUOTE=superstepa;45635607]Taking out features isn't a valid alternative to optimizing your game[/QUOTE] it is if the cause of the unoptimization is the feature itself with superior modding tools, doing palette swaps will be a breeze without the performance repercussions

[QUOTE=Rowtree;45635103]he's the sims version of John Mccafe[/QUOTE] I actually made another sim named Juan Carlos McAfee

I wish the sims 4 editor worked on my PC, instead I get a black screen and the cursor turns into a big picture of a unicorn llama when I right click.

You can almost get the damn things to even look like yourself. Neat
