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

Ctrl+Shift+C is still the "console" and kaching and motherlode still work. :v:

[QUOTE=Hatley;45863839]The Sims community is one of the worst I've ever seen.[/QUOTE] As perhaps ANY EA game community. Generally, I don't really trust this game. A part of me says that it's going to be quite entertaining to manipulate Sims and all, but another part of me is telling me that this game is going to be as much of a flop as Battlefield 4 or SimCity on release.

I mentioned not being able to find the eyedropper earlier. All the tools are on the TOP of the screen now so I just missed it.

Any word on testingcheatsenabled?

[QUOTE=redBadger;45863976]Any word on testingcheatsenabled?[/QUOTE] testingcheats on

[QUOTE=redBadger;45863976]Any word on testingcheatsenabled?[/QUOTE] Yes its still there. The syntax is 'testingcheats {true/false}'

Fuck, I tried to make an original Sim but it accidentally looks just like Bill Murray. I wasn't even thinking about him. What the fuck?

Keys from CDKeys.com are now being sent out.

sims 4, worth getting?

[QUOTE=Beacon;45864216]sims 4, worth getting?[/QUOTE] I suggest you waiting for HONEST reviews on that. And I mean reviews that aren't IGN or any biased piece of shit. You'll have to look for Angry Joe or ProJared or something.

[QUOTE=Pvt Anderson;45864129]Fuck, I tried to make an original Sim but it accidentally looks just like Bill Murray. I wasn't even thinking about him. What the fuck?[/QUOTE] I would like to see this.

Any idea how to get the sims that I made in the CAS demo in the main game? Can't find em even the ones that I uploaded to the community gallery aren't there anymore

[QUOTE=Cheh3x;45864281]Any idea how to get the sims that I made in the CAS demo in the main game? Can't find em even the ones that I uploaded to the community gallery aren't there anymore[/QUOTE] Reshare them from the CAS demo.

[QUOTE=eggman249;45864280]I would like to see this.[/QUOTE] I've already fixed it, but you might still be able to see some resemblance. Hold on.

[QUOTE=Beacon;45864216]sims 4, worth getting?[/QUOTE] So far it looks like it's good, and they actually haven't fucked it up. I definitely think it will prove to be better than TS3 once a few expansions come out adding that bit more content, but there definitely isn't any shortage of stuff to do in the game right now. Other thoughts: - Great PC settings, gameplay settings. - Modding support is in, allows scripts by the looks of it too. - Runs as smooth as butter. - Looks much better than TS3, though a lot of that is my opinion on the new style. - Multi-tasking, general liveliness, and smartness of the Sims is far better. Pathfinding isn't fucking retarded either. Less of a feel of the sim needing to be standing in an exact position to do an action because of this. - Build mode is just great. Also, I don't feel like I'm just constantly watching the needs bars going up and down like I did in the sims 3.

[QUOTE=Beacon;45864216]sims 4, worth getting?[/QUOTE] I'd wait for an Angry Joe or LGR review. Personally, I like it, but a lot of fun stuff is gone.

I can't wait till the extreme slider obesity sim I put in the neighborhood strolls down the street

[QUOTE=Banned?;45863272]I haven't seen Pankcake Bob yet. When you get into a new home, there is no longer that moment where a few sims from your neighborhood come over to greet you. I liked that, but I guess with how many sims are walking around now it's up to you to interact with them. Sims still default to watching TV when there is nothing to do.[/QUOTE] I saw Pancake Bob in the gallery, you can add him in, but I haven't seen him in Willow Creek(where he should be) just walking about being gloomy.

those who are playing atm, where did you buy your cd key?

As someone who was not a big fan of TS3, I am absolutely enamoured with 4 so far. Its stylistically and functionally a lot closer to 2 which is awesome. The build mode is way better and really intuitive (non-snap rotation and placement is amazing), and the live mode is a lot more lively. It also runs smoother than 3 ever did.

Fuck cdkeys.com for needing a phone number.

[QUOTE=xianlee;45864463]those who are playing atm, where did you buy your cd key?[/QUOTE] CJs, had to be limited edition for insta-delivery. Not sure if it's still like that though.

Complaint: afaik, there is no way you can see the time left on an action. It's just a green border on the outline of it. So you can't tell how long a sim is going to be sleeping for, etc.

i'm interested but i also don't want to shell out absurd amounts of money on a cashgrab

Playful sims can "Troll teh [sic] forums" Sims can also "Browse for Memes" and "Watch Livestreams" The memes one even has its own animation on the screen, images of sims and animals with captions on them in simish. I havent done the Livestream one yet.

[QUOTE=Pvt Anderson;45864715]Emerson Frank. A homeless, schizophrenic Vietnam War Veteran. :([/QUOTE] I feel terrible but this made me laugh.

Ugh, Origin isn't accepting either my American Express or my Mastercard for some reason. Kill me.
