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

[QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;45849637]did anyone watch the livestream of it yesterday? i used to love the Sims but the amount of bugs I saw (so close to release, too) is absolutely ridiculous. on the fence about buying this. like, sims walking through objects, standing up and sitting down over and over, ignoring commands. they boasted how smart their sims are so they threw a dinner party. sims ignored perfectly good chairs and all went and sat in separate rooms. fucking Mortimer Goth pissed himself because they couldn't get him to use a toilet. a sim died in a fire and no other sims reacted.[/QUOTE] Terrific, all we need now are shitty load times and we've got a dumbed down version of The Sims 3.

Anyone got a link to a stream?

My sister ordered so I got this pre-loaded and ready for Tuesday. :v:

So how can you guys pre-load? Are EA doing regional locks on the pre-load times?

When will this come out for PS4? Just to keep the sister quiet, don't want her using my pc too much when this is out :v:

[QUOTE=Mr. Agree;45851994]When will this come out for PS4? Just to keep the sister quiet, don't want her using my pc too much when this is out :v:[/QUOTE] There are currently no plans for a console release of Sims 4.

Right after work tomorrow at 5pm, I'm ready, preloaded and done! [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/7sQf1P.jpg[/img] (Swedish lol)

[QUOTE=Mr. Agree;45851994]When will this come out for PS4? Just to keep the sister quiet, don't want her using my pc too much when this is out :v:[/QUOTE] It's not coming for consoles...

[QUOTE=NoobieWafer223;45850636]Anyone got a link to a stream?[/QUOTE] Sure, here is the latest: [url]http://www.twitch.tv/thesims/b/563146014[/url] For an example: The story of a kid that doesn't give a fuck about burnt corpses or levitating ghosts in his kitchen starts at 42:25, just as he comes back from school, followed by the Reaper himself.

So i was ready with my preload but somehow it deleted 2 GB of my download and now it has to re-download.. AAAaaaa

Honestly, a pre-order is a really risky move judging by what we know so far.

The worst part about pre-loading is having to look at the icon knowing that it's already on your PC but you can't play it yet.

[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;45852693]Let people do what they want, don't question them.... what they've heard they might like[/QUOTE] Not stopping anyone. Just stating my opinion, don't think it's the greatest idea judging by all the negatives I've seen.

I never preordered watch dogs or sim city so I figured I better preorder this so I can feel sheer disappointment too

I hope there are loads of reviews or whatever released tomorrow / tuesday morning as I really want to pre order / buy it.

[QUOTE=Jmir 54;45852822]It comes out tomorrow evening?[/QUOTE] Yeah, at least it says that when I'm using a Korean VPN.

How big is the game anyway?

the ui in this game is so fucking beautiful

[QUOTE=xianlee;45852846]I hope there are loads of reviews or whatever released tomorrow / tuesday morning as I really want to pre order / buy it.[/QUOTE] I imagine immediate reviews will be either heavily favoring the game or heavily criticising it basically I wouldn't base my opinion of the game on day one release reviews since the people hyped for it will be parading it as the best thing since sliced bread and the naysayers will say 'ha ha I was right'

[QUOTE=Cheh3x;45853583]How big is the game anyway?[/QUOTE] i'm guessing around 6-8GB

[QUOTE=Cheh3x;45853583]How big is the game anyway?[/QUOTE] Yeah, the preload folder is about 8,5GB for me. They recommend you to have 9GB free for the game and an extra 1GB for savefiles and such.

[QUOTE=Cheh3x;45853583]How big is the game anyway?[/QUOTE] Just under 10 gigs according to the minimum requirements.

[QUOTE=xianlee;45853898]Hopefully those who have pre ordered in this thread will give feedback here :wink:[/QUOTE] Tbh I think I might just hold out for LGRs review of the game. Its gonna end with "If you're a fan of the sims..." but I really just wanted to hear what he thinks about the game. I mean with the new system they cant really do open world jobs like in Ambitions. Ghost busting or fire fighting was awesome but I don't see them being able to implement those again with their current neighborhood system

[QUOTE=Senscith;45853925] I mean with the new system they cant really do open world jobs like in Ambitions. Ghost busting or fire fighting was awesome but I don't see them being able to implement those again with their current neighborhood system[/QUOTE] It'd probably be handled in the same way the secret lots in Freetime worked: a separate hidden neighbourhood that has all the new lots in place ready to visit. All those times when making a new neighbourhood in 2 and it did stuff like "Creating Pet/Seasons/Hobbies etc" was actually the game making new sub-neighbourhoods that had new secret lots and NPCs in place so that it would integrate seamlessly with the main neighbourhood.

Well, just saw this on reddit. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/Tk7DddE.jpg"]Uncensored vanilla woohoo[/URL]

[QUOTE=Avager;45854555]Well, just saw this on reddit. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/Tk7DddE.jpg"]Uncensored vanilla woohoo[/URL][/QUOTE] Damn that's hardcore

So when is the earliest this is releasing so I can warm up the VPN? Pre-load still hasn't activated for me either, says I need to wait until tomorrow.
