TS2 is the only game I've consistently played. Sometimes I'm tempted to try TS4 but I hear a lot of complaints about it so I'm still not sure if it's worth it. How does it compare to 2?

My favorite pre made sim is Stella Terrano. I would make her get a good job after university, she lived in a big ass mansion which was decorated with all the unique items I could find (and which I built myself so it was just a big ass square in the biggest lot I could find), she would change jobs as soon as she got the last promotion and the itens I wanted. Then she would explore, spending her hard earned money on more useless stuff to decorate her mansion and later she would have alien babies so strangetown would be all aliens. I think her daughter would marry one of the alien babies of those scientist guys and that's where it would start. Oh, and I always turned her into a witch too for some reason.

I never played much with premades, I played with the Bird sisters from sims 3 pets and Polly Maloney from Bridgeport. I went to Bridgeport and looked at all the people, there was a high rise building and what looked to be a rich lady in a fur coat living in it, and I thought oh yeah let's go be a rich lady. But I select her to play with, and she literally lives in the basement with 3 pieces of furniture… I felt bad for her so I played with her and sent her to college. Pic unrelated it's an alien bartender I made, I love aliens I downloaded a futuristic world (Cronor) so I'm turning the default generated service sims into aliens and robots.

>>1881923 sucked and everyone hated it when it came out. the lighting is ugly, the base game worlds are trash (download a modded world it will be slightly nicer), the sims have ugly round pudding faces and you need a shitload of modded sliders to make anyone halfway decent looking. the pathing in 3 is the worst of any in the series, especially on BG worlds. if you have the pets pack make sure to disable wild horses because they are terribly bugged and were never fixed. same with zombies from the supernatural pack, they just ruin your game. there isn't anything wrong with you, people just have to circlejerk about how the previous game is better than the current one. it will happen with 4 when 5 comes out and everyone hates it. it happened with 2 when 3 came out too. if sims 4 had released a create-a-world tool and had a color wheel nobody would have ever complained about it. the sims community needs to just accept that there is always a new hotter sims edition that people will move to and no amount of trash talking or screeching about the quality of the new one will make people abandon it.

Side note: does anybody know a non-cc solution to getting rid of the short fence around the top of the stairs while keeping the mezzanine effect? Without it the game autofills floor, so the fence creates a separate room which I've deleted the floor from. I can’t drag out the mini-fence because it still autofills floor. There has to be a more aesthetic way.

I've waned to play a mainline sims game for years but never could so I dove into 4 when I was able to and loved it. I didn't play 2 in it's heyday but i understand why it's beloved. I have a lot of fun with it . 3 was eh, I felt sad I didn't enjoy it until I added mods like NRAS story progression and NRAS cheats now I'm liking 3 more but I still mostly play 4, but I definitely see it's limitations compared to previous entries. I haven't given't 1 much of a try.
If they ever release 5 it's going to be a mess because of trying to force multiplayer.

>>188742>I never even updated to the TS4 weeaboo fun in the snow pack, has anything worthwhile been added?It depends on your gameplay style. If you like making your sims self sufficient or off grid, Cottage Living adds a lot to that and meshes well with some of the features of previous packs like Eco Lifestyle.
Snowy Escape doesn't add anything consequential. The skiing, rock climbing and snowboarding skills don't have any use outside of that activity and hot Springs are just hot tubs that can fit more sims inside. I'd say it's only worth it if you really enjoy the Japanese aesthetic.

does have but asking for expensive and pointless things like color wheels makes no sense to me.Plus these bitches are just gonna make black and white houses with a pop of maybe purple with the free reign of the whole color wheel anyway, let's be fucking real.
I wish Maxis was interested in deepening the family interactions or centering a pack around drama but that stuff seems to be totally out of scope for them. With the more contained nature of Sims 4, which is similar to Sims 2, I'd really like them to focus on bringing the chaos back. I'm also open to something new though, I don't need old features as long as it's actually fun and not just like 5 items to interact with and a new dialog option.

My current sims 4 save was made solely to breed good looking sims so that I could save all the attractive sims and then populate my first save with good sim genes because my original legacy was in its 8th or so generation and I had the auto populate houses option turned on so the world was full of ugly randomly generated sims and they were just not fit for my legacy sims whatsoever.
So I started a new save and painstakingly edited every premade sim to be better looking and then fiddled with MCCC woohoo/pregnancy settings and then turned off auto populate houses with randomly generated sims and then let them go at it.
Now I'm super attached to the second save. I play it more than my first save.
Every generation I have to take a 1-2 day break just to edit all of the sims who've aged up (if they have fucked up faces) and give them all better outfits. I'm aware that I could save outfits with MCCC and blacklist certain items, but I'm just used to the system I've got going on. Plus it allows me to 'get to know' all of the sims in the game and give them better names/make sure their genetics look like a realistic blend between parents. I've been playing this save so long that I'm pretty attached to all the families. It's really fun seeing families expand and marry into other families, and see how some family names just disappear while others live on.
What's happening in game right now: I think maybe two weeks ago there was a massive boom in males being born because I only play female sims 99% of the time so I'd only want my favorite families to have girls, and I have a lot of favorite families.
Also, my game's Judith Ward's great granddaughter (who was the product of an affair with the family's butler) married the Grim Reaper and had a child with him.
Pic is Isidore and Cressida Straud-Vatore, they're the daughters of Lilith Vatore and Vladislaus Straud's daughter, Imogen Straud.

>>189677I desperately don’t even want to defend EA for that wedding stories disaster that they are desperately trying to distract people from by releasing another neighborhood stories (story progression) update but it’s at least a very tiny little step towards any kind of depth you can have in your world. They really need to stop being so fucking afraid of adding features and drama. with relationships and romance. I actually want my sims to be really mad if they see a spouse or romantic partner flirting with someone or discover that they’re cheating, maybe even make a dating service website or app like they did in TS3 but make it actually usable. They seriously have a long way to go and the path towards TS5 is getting even closer, they still need to make family gameplay more exciting, add more stuff to story progression, try to refresh and fix bugs that are found in nearly all of their DLCs, do a massive overhaul of their ugly hairs that look like a cut-up basketball placed on their heads and skin colors, add a new life stage between teenager and child, add more swatches to base game, add consequences of class disparity and poor choices like robbers, repo-man if they haven’t, even tax collectors tbh. People need to stop rallying for cars and color swatches and open world and need to start rallying about what mattered the most: the gameplay kek

WW is known as sex mod but it adds a lot to the game like extra personality traits, an attraction system and sims actually get jealous and react to their partners cheating on them. It's not that I care about sex and drugs, it's that both mods create chaos and randomness that is completely absent from the vanilla game.

More recently there has been drama on simblr over InTeen and ACR, it's one of the reasons Pleasant Sims was cancelled, yet no one seems to care that NRAAS and MCCC have the exact same functions. Then there was the banning of Colonel Nutty over Devious Desires because it allowed teen sex interactions, rape, bestiality and pedophilia.

I loved open for business because you can sell toilets or other things to sims kek. Freetime was annoying cuz you'd get harassed by the hobbyists via phone call or personal invitation.

>what kind of player are you? (legacies, challenges, builder, cas mode, etc. ?)I am a "breed as many generations as possible" simmer. And I like having my family trees even so I'd make sure the spouses had great grandparents too. Made gameplay very tedious and long. I preferred playing the neighbourhood's premade sims rather than making my own until I had all the neighbourhood premade sims intermarried.
>favorite neighborhood?Veronaville. I loved the tudor style homes and the modern adaptation of Shakespeare. Reminded me of the 90s Shakespeare movie with Leonardo DiCaprio
>least favorite neighborhood?They were all good but I'd have to choose Belladonna Valley. The premade sims weren't that interesting. I loved the Freetime neighbourhood because we had a grilled cheese Sim. I made her go out with the secret agent guy next door.

>what is one thing you have done in the game that you are proud of? maybe it's making it to 30 generations, or building a really good lot, finishing up a collection, etc.Made it to 10 generations… it's pretty short, but they all had an even number of ancestors.

CC "creators" that charge people through patreon for their "work" were found to be tracking and doxing their supporters by inserting hidden numbers in textures and GUIDs to see who was leaking their content to free download sites. It also turns out that these creators aren't even making their own meshes, they're stealing them from interior design websites and claiming them as their own. The two main people involved in this, Mack on the anti-paywall side and CowBuild being the main instigator of doxing patrons and stealing meshes are cows in their own right so cow vs. cow is cream on top of the existing milk.
What happened

>>198051the people in this community are so fucking dumb and technologically illiterate lmao. the aggressivekitty texture everyone thinks has someone's patreon number on it CLEARLY says 'AK07' it's a fucking watermark you retards. AggressiveKitty 07. If you pirate something of course people are going to try to stop you or find out how you are getting their stuff, you give patreon your email and that's how these people get it, you aren't being doxxed and you are giving your money and info to these people. stop being such a fucking consoomer and learn how to identify whether someone makes their own meshes or not. it's always so obvious. don't pay $20 for windows.
also ts4 rebels took my two week early access content and put it up for free the first day it was out. they dont even follow their own bullshit 'rules'. they just want shit for free and they want to feel high and mighty about it too. mack3030 is like some femboy fetishist freak, crying about how they got porn spam email on their UnIvErSiTy EmAiL omg!!!! they have been on this crusade for like 5 months now, clearly autistic schizoid obsession. cowbuild is printing money in thailand, she's smarter than all of us.

toxic the sims community has become. AggressiveKitty has done this texture tracking bullshit before. The fact of the matter is a mesh you can only use in a single player offline game isn't worth even $5 a month, let alone the $20+ some cc creators want. You can buy the rights to a mesh for that and upload it to any game or platform. This is ignoring the fact that 90% of sims CC is stolen from second life or other video games.
The fact of the matter is EA, the bullshit greedy company, had to step in and tell CC creators they couldn't paywall content anymore because you greedy assholes took it too far. Why is it so wrong to charge for mods to skyrim etc but totally a-ok to ask for $5 for a fucking dress mesh on sims?
Stay mad at ts4rebels but the're doing the lords work by forcing retards like you to actually follows EAs rules and not paywalling your shitty meshes.
No. 198337
>>198237>how shitty and toxic the sims community has becomePaywalling content isn't new. Almost the exact same shit happened during the TS2 era with Pescado vs. The Sims Resource. TSR started putting unique identifiers in content to find out who was leaking content to the booty. TSR customers that were suspected of leaking content were doxed and had their real names released with a list being passed around their featured artists.
TSR was forced to change to a donation model offering faster downloads and ad free access, instead of charging directly for content. Nothing happened to Pescado or PMBD because preventing players from sharing content made for sims games is against EA's EULA. The booty is still alive and is being updated by DHM which Mack is a part of.

EA intends user created custom content to work like the GNU General Public License. Once CC has been publicly released it is able to shared or modified by anyone. Once you convert a mesh or any other content for use in any sims game, it is owned by EA and EA states that any other player is free to use, modify or share that content. EA can enforce it's EULA under law, CC creators can not legally enforce their TOU.

I'm comfortable with my subscriber amount and I do good work, I'm not worried.
Maybe if this community wasn't such a fucking dumpster fire all the time, CC creators would feel more good will and would want to uphold the community spirit more. But the fact is that you're all awful to be around, you have no idea what you're talking about, you have no standards for yourselves and all you ever do is complain. I'm not a grifter but I don't feel any sorrow watching you idiots get grifted.

>>198403I agree that it's hypocrisy. EA has stated that two week early access is fine. Giving people who donate something earlier access to content is just a way of saying thank you to your supporters.
I do wonder though do you take issue with CC creators that permanently paywall content? Most TS4 players are more interested in hoarding the latest popular CC than they are in supporting anyone, so surely having to compete against paywalls impacts your income because these type of people are going to spend their money on something they wouldn't be able to get otherwise, instead of supporting genuine creators like yourself.

I don't really care about paywalling for 2 weeks since I'm not the type of player that plays all the time, but one thing I will always hate cc creators for is their mental breakdowns and deletions of their cc collections. SO MANY of them do that, I truly do not understand. No, I'm not entitled to your work of course, but why would you delete it, especially knowing other cc creators used your mesh and are linking back to you due to your stupid policy, knowing people downloaded your work? I simply do not understand.
I only had experience with one other modding community which was for an mmo, and nobody ever deleted their shit there. I can still find stuff from 2012, from every single name I remember. It's just so dramatic and autistic it truly makes me seethe.

>>198597This is the kind of shit which gives me 0 sympathy for cc creators. Most creators are so far up their own fucking asses over this dumb dollhouse game.
Anyway the CC creators popping off in here about their precious meshes are missing off the important part - that sims 4 meshes are 9.99/10 based on already existing meshes within the sims 4. VERY FEW mesh makers for sims start with nothing and build up. So if you wanted to make hair for example, you would edit a sims 4 basegame hair using blender then re-import it. That means these "Creators" aren't actually creating their own fucking meshes at all, they're manipulating ones made by EA. Which is why EA can tell you not to charge for meshes YOU ALREADY STOLE FROM THEM. I can't get over these cc creators crying about their very real job making CC for sims when they're just ripping already legally owned meshes from one of the biggest games from one of the biggest publishers kek. These people don't know how to "mesh", they know how to export and manipulate. They don't know how to get their meshes working in SL or anywhere else where it could be an actual job, and even if they could figure it out, they legally can't because their meshes are technically owned by EA.
Anyway, I didn't even pay the $700 for the games so idk why any retard would expect me to pay a $5 subscription to se their shitty cc kek.
No. 198857
You know what I hate? The very few black Alpha hair creators will charge out the ASS for their broken ass hairs, there's at least two creators who make black hairstyles and the shit looks TRASH in game.
Then there's "Urban" creators who never release their shit. And whats funny to me is, people will literally tell folks to pirate the Sims 4, it's so broken, it's a mess, don't spend money on it, (true but I've gotten my moneys worth, I've been playing since 2017), but then will get mad at you for using sites to download CC thats locked behind pay walls for free.
Sometimes the shit isn't even nice CC, or just recolors of EA shit, or shit they didn't even make themselves, they got from some other site and ported it.
Im sorry but just like EA sucks and doesn't follow the rules, neither do some of these Cc creators and they are just as greedy and entitled with sometimes LESS talent then the sims 4 devs.
The only thing i'd ever think to spend money on is actual mods, like Basemental Drugs and when I did use Wicked Whims, I'd buy that.
I never have brought them, but they both seem to follow the rules and actually create something new and worth it in the game.

Also just want to complain about the state of the sims community on tumblr but I guess I can't be surprised. I used to look on there for house inspiration and found out that they turn every other sim into a ftm enby polyamorous single mother of six.

Sims 3 can be the best when you mod it enough and also understand those mods well enough to tune the game to you. Having been playing regularly for the past year after not touching it since I was a teen, I can safely say I don't even have an interest in touching sims 4.

What do you guys think about the goth update? Personally, Bella is one of my favorite townies to make over.
I usually make her black/biracial and a huge slut ig baddie. Or just a hot mean stay at home mom, who drinks all day and cheats. In my current save she's famous, cheats on her husband, hates her kids and just drinks/smokes cigar.
I love Cassandra because I love making her over, I HATED her base form, so I kinda like the "new look" but it doesn't translate well when she ages up. I just make her super successful and independent or a lesbian. The new hair style is only slighty better. I heard that the new young Boy goth, who name I can't remember, ages up to be really ugly. But he was either very ugly with big ears, or ugly hot when he aged up in my game, depending on what mixture of random cc he ages up to young adult with.
The older male goth is blah. I only stan the female goths.
My other favorite townies are Yuki & Candy, Vanessa (Who I made a blonde pop star), Sophia from winderburg, Penny Pizzaz (I made her into a IG baddie rapper).
Also what do yall do with "Baby Ariel" Sim. I always make her famous but I find it odd making her have her own life/style when she's based on a real person.

I remember that godawful Sims 4 pride mod which has sexual orientation and "gender identity" occupy entire trait slots and adds interactions such as "ask for pronouns" even before this update. At least it's just a mod, for now.

I get what he is trying to say and I don't doubt that EA puts a ton of pressure on the Game Changers etc but he writes about this as if EA personally held him at gunpoint until he got a burnout.

>>217177the aspirations and personality traits suck, they have no effect on their whims, it's summer and every sim despite their personality or aspiration wants a fucking bee box, they walk from one room to the next and their mood changes, it makes no sense. The old aspirations and personality and interest points system was so much better. Also the attraction system in sims 2, and sexual orientation, some people they will never get along with because of no chemistry and no common interests, but in sims 4 they can just hook up with anyone, no preferences of their own. They can look pretty but they are hollow. It's very aesthetics focused with little depth. When you make a sim in sims 2 you never know what they will be into, and you can look at their interests to determine what sort of hobbies or jobs would suit them, it's fun cause they all feel like different people.

Last year I got back into the Sims 2 for shits and giggles. I always felt bad for Lilith cause she was treated like shit, anyways, I turned her life around and basically turned her into a rich rockstar who had 20+ lovers and then ended up marrying Dirk after awhile because I couldn’t keep track of who she was fucking around with. Felt nice to see her happy. Sadly I lost all my data cause my game crashed but I knew I gave Lilith an awesome life. Sorry for the Lilith Pleasant autism.

Depends on what you really want out of the sims: create-a-sim, gameplay, building, storytelling, challenges.

Inside this folder there will be a file called "Config.log"
It's icon will vary how it looks but I think it will just be a blank icon by default.
Right click on the icon and choose "Open with" then "Notepad"
Inside will be your system specifications, then underneath will be an options header. Look for where it says "FrameRateLimit". There will be a number after that, change it to 30 and then save the file.
The game's frame limit will now be locked to 30 FPS.
Before doing this I recommend making a backup of the Config file. Copypaste it to your desktop or somewhere else in case your cat steps on the keyboard or something. If you screw up just copypaste the old config file back into the The Sims 4 folder.
I've done this and I never have simulation lag in my game.

I play TS4 and recently installed Lumpinou's woohoo and pregnancy overhaul that allows for surrogates and artificial insemination; it feels sooo much more realistic for my lesbian sims rather than them just woohooing and one getting pregnant that way. It also allows for sims in a relationship to have their own individual desires for having children which feels a lot like something that would have been in TS2!

EA has been good to the modding community by allowing almost anything to be modded into the game. This is going to change if it keeps generating scandals in the community that EA has to address. All it takes is for a MSM outlet to discover this and run a hit piece for EA to shut it down.

Just a random thought, but honestly I don't really see the big deal with paywalling CC. The only thing I don't support is using programs like Adfly, creators who track/doxx people, and creators who make all of their content permanently exclusive and in this situation I just move on and find more free cc I like. Otherwise, I get that it's still their work in a way and I can't fault people for wanting to make a little money off of it when there are people willing to pay them. I just wish everyone on either side of the topic could relax about it.
Anyway, sorry this isn't related to any recent drama or news. I saw that a mod creator got hired by Maxis recently and it got me thinking about it.
No. 223030
>>223000Because it's charging money for derivative work and profiting from the free tools that are made by the community. All CC contains the intellectual property that is owned by EA/Maxis and the content is usually made using community maintained software like S4S. Also most of what people are charging for isn't worth paying for because it's all made by amateurs. If any of these creators could use 3D software on a professional level they wouldn't be selling Sims 4 CC, they would be employed in 3D modeling.
The major modders in the community who release large complex mods don't paywall their content. They earn money through early access and donations, yet CC creators are locking recolours and edits of Maxis meshes behind paywalls. It's nothing but greed.

Like I said, I don't really like creators who permanently paywall their creations but I just move on because there's hundreds of other creators and I don't think it's enough get to my panties in a bunch over.

They act as if they have been hatecrimed and personally attacked for not having free access to some custom content. Crying and throwing up and shitting their pants on tumblr dot com because a creator hasn't shared something for free.
On that note, there's a blacklist of creators making the rounds on tumblr right now. I think it's fine and dandy to keep track of creators who are total scammers, thieves or doxx/track their patrons, but things like rude behavior, shoddy quality, silencing critics etc is really subjective and as such dumb reasons to put up there with no proof of the exact instances. ''Ethical by the standards of the community'' lmao here's the list

They're adding sexuality to basegame and you can be attracted to men and/or women or none. Can't wait for the nonbinaries to start reeing. I wonder if they will change it to masculine and feminine frame or something and make trannies ree. I guess they will take damage to their image either way from some group of genderspecials.

nonny, I really appreciate it! It's a really weird system but easy enough to make slight color changes to wallpapers and such, and I really enjoy the idea of making custom paintings for all the houses I make so they're unique and fit the style of the sims living there.

I don't play anymore but seeing the discussion about sexuality in game reminds me of when TS2 was still coming out and forums like boolprop were the like the LGB(T) sims hub, does anyone else remember? iirc you weren't allowed to discuss anything sexuality related on the official site then, I could be wrong though. Boolprop was also started by a lesbian with the username swiffner. Don't know what happened to her but I hope she's doing well. Pic semi-related but from what I remember there were basically no troons or people calling themselves queer on that forum

Ever since the HSY update my game has been playing like dog shit, long loading times, simulation lag and frame rate drops. Now I've found out why. I prefer to limit the game to 30 fps because it prevents simulation lag and gives a smoother game play experience. After the update the game went back to running at 200 fps (you can show the frame rate in game by pressing control+shift+c and then typing "fps on"). I tried editing the config.log file to limit the frame rate to 30 and it would reset back to 200 fps every time I started the game. The update broke this method of limiting the frame rate, now you either need to use an external program such as your GPU driver or edit the Options.ini file.
The process for editing the Options.ini file is the same as for the config.log file. Find the Options.ini file in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. Open it with notepad, control+f to find "frameratelimit" and change the number to 30.

>>237995>like really? the annoying pronoun and sexuality update isn't enough for you guys? you have to turn it off to get rid of the "stinky straights"!Yeah, that comment is annoying as fuck, but tbf EA is in the wrong here. Nobody wants to play a Sims game where you cannot control and modify every aspect of your sims. I don't get why it's not even an option that you can toggle on and off like free will, that would be ideal.
Also, not allowing players to manage the updates they've installed and play the game as they please is a surefire way to make your customers angry and lose profits.
The woketards that now work on The Sims are really bad at capitalism. Another example is how they refused to sell the wedding expansion pack in Russia
allegedly because its anti-gay propaganda laws would've forced them to remove the gay content (as explained by many Russian fans, those laws don't apply to 18+ games, which The Sims 4 is in Russia, so the pack would've been legal there) but they backpedaled once Russian players complained that it was discrimination against the Russian LGBT community kek

>>239241They never removed it, it’s a personality trait called proper. What they did remove was Shinto inspired temple stuff because the Koreans were mad about Japanese occupation and them building temples in Korea. I’ve never seen Korea as a religious country anyway, why the fuck does it matter. This might be insensitive but nearly everyone who was able to understand and experience it are dead. It was just going to be a ringing of the bell and bowing in front of it or some shit. The sims will eventually turn into grey blobs ala the fairy odd parents as not to piss anyone off for any reason, and even then someone will be
triggered by the blobs.

Its not worth it since you're only getting the boring base game meanwhile ONE expansion pack for this game costs $40 (it literally costs almost $700 to buy all of the expansion pack).
Ill check if they have it free on steam for pc, they probably won't have it, so whatever.

>>248636>nobody actually plays it copium, millions of people play it and it’s predecessors daily, the problem is that most of the important functions of a sandbox game like dining, leisure/fun, and seasons/weather and travel is locked behind pricey micro transactions and a million of them you have to buy that eventually slows your game down into a buggy, unplayable mess. the game would be perfectly playable if the backend of the entire franchise did not put impossible time/financial constraints on their employees and workers and impossible superhuman deadlines and last minute decisions and pure greediness. the only thing that people should be mad about is that the entire gaming industry is following this ugly new trendy profitable model of gaming where casual/moderately challenging games like fortnite that you can play on your PCs/gaming consoles have to look like a mobile game and function exactly like that, because they must appeal to the lowest common denominator who can’t even figure out how to download a mod and put in their game folder. the sims is no longer complex or fleshed out because of that, it was going to be exactly like their sims mobile game before they scrambled before the deadline and they were missing important elements like toddlers, pools and base game neighborhoods that looked finished. it’s going to be the end of an era where women, their largest demographic, can have a game where they can creatively build and create things without it being in the mist of violence/sex/misogyny rated M fodder like other sandbox games
GTA. noticed how animal crossing was shat on because a specific demographic of women likes to play it because it wasn’t “real mature” like real manly games? kek, yeah, you think sims is exempt from that? they also certainly don’t care for who actually plays the game which are young children, teens, and women. the sims 4 would have been a decent game if it was given proper time to flourish and they didn’t l, people know there are good even great parts of the game that make them come back, it’s also a negative mix of corporate fuckery that ruins it

I love the build mechanics Sims 4 has, and the multitasking etc. I love TS2 just because of the nostalgia factor, but it's nerve wracking to play it in fear of corruption borking your save or you whole game. TS3 is unplayable with the lag. TS4 run very (for me at least), but something about it feels a bit shallow. Maybe it's partly my age too. Maybe I would enjoy it as much as I did TS2 if I was 12 again? I don't know.

>Mortimer Goth is a shitty scrote who wanted to get rid of Bella because he was perving on his sisters-in-law and he was already aware of their alien ancestry which he found convenient to frame them for Bella's disappearance
>Dina Caliente is not an "evil golddigging schemer", she really is dumb as a rock, Nina isn't evil either, she just isn't nice and doesn't give any fucks
>Mary-Sue Pleasant is a narc mom with a neglectful disengaged husband and father to the twins, Angela is the golden child, Lilith is the scapegoat, neither twin is "good" or "bad"
>Don Lothario definitely groomed Cassandra Goth as a "rebound"
>Brandi Broke is supposed to be a teen mom, no elixir of life involved, likely groomed too
>Kaylynn Langerak is a huge pick-me and most likely a tradthot wannabe
>Circe Beaker has a thing for grumpy blond science boys, married Loki because at least he isn't an incel like Vidcund Curious, Circe and Loki are actually a very loving couple in the unholy matrimony way
>Vidcund is such an incel and so not over Circe he's actually a little gay for Loki "to understand what she sees in him"
>both Circe and Loki sometimes feel bad for Nervous Subject every once in a while for like… 3 seconds or so
>Nervous has serious brain damage from all the experiments but deep down there really is a lovely man underneath the surface
>Circe and Loki probably both get off to torturing Nervous outside those occasional 3 seconds, it's great foreplay for them
>General Buzz Grunt is alienphobic because he's afraid of anorectal violence and mpreg, doesn't really mind other occults actually
>Tank can be quite nice when not under Buzz' thumb, definitely another narc parent case going on in there, Lyla got away, Tank remained the golden child, Ripp the scapegoat and Buck the invisible one
>the entire Curious bunch actually really fetishize aliens to an obscene extent, PT#9 also fetishizes Sims so it just works
>aliens in general are culturally obsessed with Bella Goth the same way bitchy gays are obsessed with Britney Spears
>Olive Specter is the absolute gigastacy everyone loves to hate and hates to love, she didn't kill ALL of the people in her graveyard, many of them were unfortunate accidents as an excuse for the Grim Reaper to get close to her because she's that much of a gigastacy
>she did kill some of them though because she still really is not nice at all but most of the time she was probably just like "i wish this sim would just FUCKING DIE" and the Reaper was happy to oblige
>Albany and Cornwall Capp definitely both groomed their way into the Capp family
>Albany is a trad scrote who wanted a rich bangmaid baby factory to leech off
>Cornwall was probably some softboi wannabe loser idk (he probably seduced Regan with crappy poetry or some other fake deep shit) but Regan and him still have better chance of working it out because they always have at least 2 bolts chemistry even with literally incompatible turn-ons/offs and so they keep boinking like bunnies and they also both like shmoney

The longest amount of generations I went through was actually 10, and I only did it once.

He felt guilty so he tried to be there for cassandra and then took it too far and got into a relationship with her. Dina and morty supported each other after the loss of their partners and fell in love, then bella decides to come back and pretend she has memory loss and has no idea where she was, she only came back cause she wouldn't be getting money when he dies since it would go to the new wife so she wants morty back. Sometimes i have Bella be a witch and kill dina and then come back soon after. Other times morty is living with both of them and then he cheats on dina with bella.

>>255461i do have the updater (i have kaos krew repack which i believe uses anadius? don’t know if i’m using the right wording my friend has the install files on a portable drive for himself and i decided to use it after) the repack also comes with a dlc toggler to enable/disable packs and two separate shortcuts to play online or offline. i’m just not sure if the update is worth it for me or what exactly will change. when i first installed i’d logged into ea with a burner account via browser, got the sims 4 demo, iirc i didn’t even have to install origin. had to put in a remid cookie before i could start the game. online and offline did work, could use the gallery with the account, also turned off share usage data just in case etc, but i’m not on the latest patch so i’ve stayed offline.
i’m guessing that with the demo no longer available that might have changed. i’m definitely able to update with the updater but i was wondering if that means i have to go through a whole process again since the demo is gone, i hear ea desktop is needed now and that cracked games can no longer access the gallery (i could be wrong). sorry if this sounds dumb. that being said, i’ll check the link if i can get more clarification. thanks for the help nonna.

My game was lagging and I couldn't work out why. I happened to look in manage households and there was over 200 not in world townie households that the game had generated for no reason. I deleted them all with MCCC and my game's performance improved dramatically. I wish there was a way to put a hard limit on townie generation to control save file bloat.
>>256065Sims have always been fugly. TS1 sims were low poly, TS2 sims were long and lanky with massive foreheads and TS3 sims were soft, chubby dough balls. TS4 sims are the probably the best looking, it's just a shame that the world around them looks like plastic. The worlds in TS2 and TS3 felt more real because there was so much detail and texture in the environment.

Nobody cares you aren't telling people what mod needs to be updated.

I don't even know what they are talking about, but I went from being disappointed because I do use their threads to annoyed.

Hi nonnies, I'm getting back into Sims 4. I'm not really sure how much I'll get into it,
advice on not burning out and keeping things fresh? I have the most fun when doing weird stuff but I have a horrible habit of defaulting to "beat the game"/grind mode.
I also want to add a lot of interesting sims to my game made by other people. What's the best method of this? Scouring the gallery and just manually adding them?
And I'd like some advice about mods. I'm worried that a lot will be outdated, but in the past they helped add a ton of life to the game (specifically the ones that make the game more chaotic and eventful and less artificial). Do many work well even if they haven't been updated?

>>272949 >Sometimes Sims just click. Your Sim might have natural social chemistry with a Sim they meet at a party – or they might naturally clash. Your Sim will now have preferences that determine which Sims they are socially compatible with, and which Sims are more likely to become their enemies.This should have been a base game option imo. The Sims 2 had the personality points and it affected how well you sims got along because obviously a clean sim is grossed out by a messy sim etc etc.
>Key choices and milestones will help to shape who your Sims are. Unlock and change personality traits throughout your Sims’ lives as they cope with midlife crises, respond to family requests to move in, and more. Self-discovery is a lifelong journey.There's still only 3 traits any one sim can have plus their lifetime aspiration special trait. If they keep it at 3 sims will still being boring and one dimensional as ever.

I spend hours in creat a sim tbh probably even more than in the actual game, it reminds me of when i played barbies as a kid and most of the time i just made outfits and decorated the house and then i git bored while i was actually playing as the dolls. I made one of Edward Furlong, Ralph Machio, James Spader, Miyavi, Cillian Murphy, and others. I made some girl ones of actresses too like Mila Kunis, Alyson Hannigan and Scarlett Johansson. (I love doing dudes tho idk why) Picrel is Atsushi Sakurai, his name is Angelface.
Making cows seems fun, I saw an anon in the shaynatorium made shay, it'd be funny to make baldi gaysics, sol,fupaul and shame living in one house. I know what I'm gonna do tonight.

>>275140I have a huge bone to pick with Black cc creators, When I became a dirty disgusting Alpha hair lover. I noticed the people who'd have paetrons the most were creators making black hair styles/textured styles. They don't even give a date anymore for when they'll release it. They don't even pretend.
I know a creator who releases shit
maybe every 8-9 months, sometimes it's one thing or multiple but only when they have new CC to paywall. Then there's ones who have separate websites/tumblrs where they give out CC thats now "free" but they don't link it. They do this so they hope people who stumble across their page will buy their cc, even if they have it for free on a seperate website. Instead of just unlocking it, they want to continue to get money.
Then the quaility isn't great. DarkPinkRosa's hair are consistently horrid. I get them for free and they are always a mess, but she keeps everything locked forever.
Then Bergdolf,I think it is, every other week is always "Announcing" CC creators they are "Working with" and they all have like $20 tiers to get "everything". It's just shit ported from like other games.
There's a lot of money hungry people in the sims community. I swear every single creator who makes urban hairs/content are always paywalling it.
The sims cc community is so fucked. They don't even tag their shit right but expect you to pay or wait until they feel like putting out their shit.
Actual modders who create mods (like MCC for example) aren't even greedy. They could be but they aren't. It's people literally porting shit from other games wanting you to pay 5-20 dollars for some shit that probably is ugly ass fuck

>>277834The only Sims games worth paying for are
not Sims 4. I haven't paid since 2017, nor do I plan to ever again. It gets overwhelming to have so much content it lags, but I also really think this pack would be fun to test. When it releases, (and all my mods update, last one broke most of the fun ones) I'll write back here with pros & cons and if I think it's worth it for legal players.

I don't keep up with the paywall drama but I tried downloading a cat condo from Cowbuild today and all of their stuff is gone/behind paywalls. I thought their content can't be behind paywalls anymore. Can we report this fucker among other money grubbing creators to EA?

why make these pants avalible under 'feminine fashion choice' when they are so broken on the female body mesh??? i like that they removed the gender barrier on clothing but i wish they kept it segregated by deafult based on mesh and not style.

what’s up with this subscription bs? will sims 5 be subscription based? unpopular opinion, but maybe a subscription would be more worthy than spending over $1000 in packs, as long as it’s under $10 monthly and you get to access everything.
No. 279702
>>279700I would rather kill myself than pay a fucking subscription to play the sims. I would rather EA liquidated and every single one of their IPs die and never have another game made.
Sidenote, I can't wait to see what woke gendie shit will be in the sims 5 base game. I'm actually crossing my fingers it sucks.

For the past I think six or seven years, I've only ever used simgaroop hair recolors, but I'm starting to like pooklet more. I'm dreading the thought of hunting for replacements, and I'm just glad it's only a bit over I think 150.

nonnie. I got excited for a second because my sim games are always all about family. But it's too little too late. I hadn't played for a while when they did the pronoun update, which made me not want to load up the at all. Then that social media campaign came out with the gross tranny who claimed 'little girls are kinky' which drained my last bit of faith in EA. At least there were some terfy replies in the comments. The straw that broke the camel's back was the update anouncement for binders and chest scars. I uninstalled
The only reason I'm still in this thread is because I'm nostalgic for Sims 2, and for stuff like this
>>280948 Maybe some time in the future I'll play another life sim but for now I'm too burnt out on the genre

>>280948Paradox has the exact same shit for consumers business model as EA. I play
pirated EU4 and it's got all the same problems as the Sims 4, content behind millions of dlc's, game breaking shit with each update etc. Go ahead read their forums, see how familiar all the bitching sounds.

Ugh, Sims 4 no longer does gay couples, the official families shipped with the Growing Together EP are straight with extra steps with a fetishy milk-producing inseminator TIM in the other, a moid larper TIF in the other. Sheesh way to ruin an otherwise ok pack.
I ofc detrooned the lot. WIsh they'd make proper gay families again and not these shitty straight with extra steps monstrosities

terf at EA being ironic since the tech bro to troon pipeline is well known
No. 284065
>>284062When I saw her in the trailer I couldn't wait to remake her, then I went on her Sim, she looked so masculine that I checked her gender settings, I saw she could get sims preggers?? But peed sitting down?? Is she a Tim aka a he? Also their kids are adopted, so he can get other sims preggers, but pees sitting down? It's so fucking silly, it's like when EA made that teenage Sim non binary, and just gave her a male torso.
Also that Sim looks totally different in the fucking trailers, it's like they made the Sim into a Troon at the last mintue, im telling you that Sim looks like a fucking witch, I hate it I remade her, I was so excited for that family in the growing together trailer
No. 284069
>>284062Also it's not lost on me that they made the black woman a fucking man, if I can recall this is the first trailer with a fully black family in it, yet one is a ugly scrote larping as a woman, with confusing gender settings. One thing I will say is EA really does have a secret
terf, every single Trans character is cartoonishly male kek, every Tim looks like a hulking scrote in women's clothing. They make sure you know they are simply a man playing pretend. I hate ea, but if they must add troons (that I always detrans and make pretty) I hope they continue making them as realistic looking as possible.
Female framed tif who is clearly a woman, male framed scrote in female clothing. It cracks me up
No. 284093
>>284065 I love that in giving trooning options, they've also given options to play a detransition storyline like I did with Ash since he kept popping up as an X-ray/surgery patient at the GTW hospital. Dude became an infertile moid and got himself a non gender hobby (gardening) in my game. I may give him a spouse if he survives to elderhood.
>>284069There absolutely has to be a secret
terf or two at the studio. Hulking tims, dainty tifs, that come hither pose on the doughy tif for that zippertit scar update, they have to be aware.

Anons how big can your Sims 3 save get before you can't play because of error 12 (not enough ram)? I've been playing the same save for years, and it's gotten to the point where I can only play one day and save properly, after which I will be getting the error. It's kinda bothersome to exit and enter the game after each save and I'm afraid soon I won't be able to save at all. I did everything I could, I clean the saves regularly, have the 4gb patch, I play through Razer, I have the computer tasked to empty the standby list every 5 mins, all the nraas mods etc. My save is currently 1.14GB large
The reason why I don't just start a new game with my family is that I have part of that family in every single neighbourhood except the bugged island one, I've even got some Sims living in France. My plan is to interbreed them until they are just one base pair and THEN move them to a new save (yes, I'm this anon
>>188910 ). For example, I'm currently in Moonlight Falls, where it's week 38 of playing (just that neighbourhood) and the errors are really bad.
Will I be able to finish what I planned?

Anons is this pathological gaming
No. 285463
>>278169Samefag, I know I'm late as fuck but my answer: pirate the pack, do not buy
Pros: complex family relations
Cons: I'm pretty sure most of the families contain at least one troon. It seems like, as other anons suggested, there's a
TERF working on character design, so at least you get funny little jabs at the troons, but it's upsetting that there's no genuine gay couples past (I think) Eco Lifestyle. Maybe I'm biased, but I hate the TIF in the new pack the most. Particularly because they took the "safe route" where she's depicted as a woman in almost every way, including choosing to have a child. TIFs would hate this because most think you "aren't a real tranny" if you have sex, and radfems would hate this due to the nauseating misogyny. Rant aside, generally the families are a disgusting mess.
I haven't played it much. I think the worst troon they added is still Ash from HSY, but the ones in this pack are up there.

>>285827Yes, just pirate the whole thing tbh.
There's a way to get pirated expansions on a legal base game, but I forgot how
