I've been playing a cracked version of Sims 4, and honestly I'm kinda scared that EA will find out and ban me from their games kek. I always make sure to play offline. It's not even being banned from TS4 that I care about, it's them revoking my ability to play TS3.
It's EA's fault. I bought all of the TS3 packs because it was a good game, if they actually put effort into TS4 I would be willing to pay for all of the packs too. I want to play, but I'm just not willing to give them anymore money than what I've already spent on TS4 when a lot of my enjoyment from the game comes from mods.

what's happening in your sims' lives, nonnies? i haven't been playing for months but today i randomly decided to start a new neighborhood. i use this townie pool in the neighborhood
https://khal-ulti.tumblr.com/post/675275420922429440/mysims-townie-pool-empty-subhood-with-32 since i usually just let the game generate random ones. tbh i'm surprised how pretty the kids my starter sim had with one of the townie moids turned out to be.
weirdly enough i'm more into my sims when they're a bit on the uglier/unusual side. picrel, she looks absolutely horrendous in the change appearance screen but she's adorable in motion. same for her two sisters. they all got their townie dad's genes, which is a bit of a bummer since her mom had pointy elf ears. maybe they'll come through in later generations though.

Decided to clear out my shelves and found my copy of the sims medieval and i’ve been playing it on my old imac. It’s such a charming game. I understand why it was a flop, you can’t really customize anything but it’s such a hilarious game. The OST is amazing too. If you ever catch it in a thrift store or a sale definitely give it a try. The magician path especially is super fun to play at though I enjoy sending annoying sims to stocks as a monarch and then throwing tomatoes at them too tbh

List of known fails:

-Free to play means as little content as possible so it can be locked behind microtransactions

>>305635>Game playable on desktop and mobile at the same time Honestly, this is the thing that worries me the most about a potential sims 5. There are no mobile games that I trust to be really good computer games. I mean sure, things like genshin impact are mobile and computer games (though I've never played that game before), but I can't imagine that most games would work well being able to be played on literally any device.
I'm super scared what the UI is going to be like, too. I would imagine it's be hard to see everything you needed to on a mobile screen. And because it's a mobile game, you need to make a system where everything can be done by tapping on your screen, with almost no keyboard input. This really simplifies the gameplay and things you can do in a game.
No. 305687
>>305635>Also no talk about actually improving Sims AI, making them feel more real and less dollish compared to Sims 4The AI and sim autonomy in TS4 is pure fucking garbage and one of the game's biggest problems. Maxis already had the autonomy right in the first two games (I'd recommend Leto Mills videos on TS2 if anyone wants to know just how complex the algorithms behind TS2's code were). In TS3 it was changed because the hardware of the time wouldn't have been able to handle a simulation that complex in an open world. TS4 is a mess because of what happened with SimCity and Project Olympus, with TS5 they have no excuse. Instead of creating a game that is ambitious in scope and features, they're making it run on mobile phones.
>I really it fails and some of the alternatives (Life By You, Paralives) succeeds and brings us actual Sims experienceI can see another SimCity situation. Paradox is listening to what players want while EA is too busy thinking of money. It's almost a repeat of what happened in 2013.

I spent months in 2021 making a medieval world from scratch and running it with a bunch of mods to make it feel like a running economy (ani's no fridge mod, making a market that sims have to go and buy from if they want to eat, etc). I used the world Moon Valley and deleted 99% of the lots, built my own, created my own townies that all fit into the world. After playing that world to the point that the population is overrun and my game lags every two seconds, I'm moving on to another passion project. This time my world is going to be a lot more modern (but still with a bit of old charm, because I prefer more old school architecture) and I'm so excited. I've been building lots every single day, it's nice to be excited about this again.
I'm using a blank version of Glenvale County, and making more of a suburban sprawl. I want it to feel pretty full of shops, parks, bars, restaurants. There's so much I learnt from the last time I did this, so excited to apply that and see if I can create a more functional town than the last. Soooo many mistakes I now know to avoid. I feel like this will be a bit more of a challenge than the last one, as Moon Valley was a lot smaller and I had a very clear vision for what I was after, but it also had no roads so I'm excited about Sims being able to travel easier!
There's so much I could say, I'm so excited and honestly I don't think I can play sims in ready made worlds anymore, you really get to know your town in a way you wouldn't otherwise. Do nonnies have any suggestions for my new town? Any lots or custom content that's a must have for trendy suburban shops?
Picrel is a pic of my last town, you might remember me from a few sims threads ago!

Another modder, Missyhissy who maintains the slice of life mod was cancelled on twitter for showing Zero support. It's all really fucking stupid because Zero is not transphobic, he is correctly pointing out that treatment for gender dysphoria is based around maximizing profits for big pharma and not in the best interests of the patient.
If you're interested I recommend looking through his posts on patreon

Also, I was snooping around San Seqoia and noticed Jay Robles, the Sim that was suspected to be a TIF, is actually an enby, effeminate TIM. Thus meaning as far as I am aware, there is one TIF sim in the game(HSY), but there are two TIMs(Growing Together). The only TIF is an enby, too.
No. 308092
>>308086Actually, no. The way you can tell a Sim's biological sex is by a mix of whether they piss standing up or down, and whether they can have kids or not, as that is how EA encoded bio sex. For example, Jay Robles may have a male marker and a female body, but he can piss standing up and get women pregnant. Celeste, on the other hand, can somehow get others pregnant and pisses sitting down, implying he never got the chop but he tries to blend…poorly. He also is marked as female with a female frame, but EA tried to make him obviously a troon. Ash is marked as female, with a male frame, cannot have children, and if memory serves, pees sitting down. This implies she's a TIF who takes T and got a hysterectomy or tubes tied.

>>308092>Holy fuck an EA janny or programmer must lurk this series of threads kekEA got foiled by their own coding my game. As soon as I installed Growing Together, neighborhood stories killed off all the premades before I even got a chance to go into the world management screen and change it. I have neighborhood stories set so that it doesn't kill off the townies that I like having around but this needs to be done manually for every family. The children were adopted by Tina and Yasemin Tinker.
Separate but related rant
The way neighborhood stories is set to work by default is fucked up. Maxis allowed it to kill townies because the game constantly generates new sims which then causes performances issues and save file bloat. Unless you set it up not to, it will kill any sim in an unplayed household which then results in all the premade Maxis sims being killed off and being replaced by randomly generated sims that look like they got dressed in the dark at a jumble sale. This includes NPC sims with an in game purpose such as with the Cottage Living and Werewolves NPCs. The other problem is that if you don't use MCCC story progression and allow homeless children to be adopted, the game will just delete any children that the killed off sims had unless there's another teen or adult in the house to care for them.

TS2: Pleasantview
I never was a person who liked Strangetown, idk why it has such a following in the sims community. I hated their university La Fiesta Tech, it looked so desolate in comparison to Sim State UniversityTS3: Bridgeport, but tbf that’s only because I didn’t have many expansion packs. I think Lucky Palms, Monte Vista, and Aurora Skies look cool but never got to play them. I just learned about Roaring Heights (the last world they released in TS3 franchise apparently, picrel) and it sounds fucking cool—has anyone played it? It’s Art Deco inspired.
TS4: Windenburg, then Willow Creek and Mt Komorebi. I love the visuals of Mt Komorebi but it has barely any lots and always gets filled up with ugly townies who aren’t Asian which kinda ruins the immersion of it. I wish that it actually functioned like a vacation world in TS2 and that there was more cultural distinction between it and the other worlds. Same with the other worlds actually. It would be cool if there were traditions/holidays for specific worlds.

That's usually my requirement for S3 worlds. No custom rabbithole, no playtime. My only exceptions are Lucky Palms and Roaring Heights, the only EAXIS worlds I will touch
>>304705My top three? I'm assuming it has to be from a Sims game with actual neighborhoods or worlds, which excludes Sims 1, and also have to be EAXIS. Going by this, my number one is Lucky Palms, two is Downtown (technically a subhood and I have a desert default replacement that makes it essentially a whole new nhood anyways), and three is (oddly enough) Henford-on-Bagley. HoB only gets number three because it's the only Sims 4 world I can take my Sims to get groceries and make pies to give to everyone that isn't gruelingly high effort. If HoB didn't have that, I'd give it to Moonwood Mill because I like the idea of making the same Sim a methed up murder hobo in other playthroughs. I usually love Desert and City worlds but Sims 4 does both dirty and custom hoods won't be a thing until TMex actually gets the massive mod working, if ever.

I wanna try getting into this franchise again what is the best way to do it? I played sims 4 but its too boring/easy. I played Sims 2 but thought it was stressful. Should I give TS2 another chance? It felt stressful to me because I lost complete control and couldn't regain it. I know the point is that you just watch things unfold but it was hard to explore the world, get to know other townies, focusing on skills, focusing on job, etc when everything felt like it was falling apart. But maybe by playing it more and becoming more familiar with the mechanics it starts feeling more fun.
On the other hand I have never played Sims 3 so is it better to try that instead? I have heard it's harder than TS4 but easier than TS2 so maybe it hits that sweetspot

The franchise has been cash-grabby since the earliest expansions, but it was disappointing to see that EA could just scale-back features to the release state of Sims 4 and get away with it. But why should they try to improve things when the success of Sims 4 has shown that when you have the monopoly on life-sim genre, the core audience is going to hog up your shit no matter how low-effort it is.

>>308338i tried roaring heights and i wanted to love it, it's a really nice world, but the tower building tops are a pain in the ass if you play sims that live in or go to those buildings (which btw a lot of them are decorated horribly, extremely underutilized space for example). the tops are not actual shells that can be built inside like in bridgeport, they got lazy and just made the tops of the towers to show in map view but they constantly obscure your view in live mode and there's no permanent way to avoid it. i tried using the building shells from bridgeport and decorating the interiors all nice to replace them and then the game kept refusing to properly save when i tried and would just load forever, so i gave up
it's a lovely world but in playing i'd either avoid those buildings or try to fix them up hopefully without your game crashing.

I wish EA would go back and edit all of the earlier pre-made sims so their lore would be accurate to the new features. Like compatibility in the game is randomized each new save so you get the BFF household sometimes like picrel which makes no sense considering Liberty and Travis realistically should get along pretty easy with those traits, but their likes and dislikes ruin it because one of them dislikes cerebral sims which gives them bad compatibility ergo, way harder to boost their relationship (I had another save where Summer had awful compatibility with both Liberty and Travis which caused them to both dislike Summer after I tried to make them friends without cheats). I know I can just change their likes and stuff, but I hate that much micromanaging, especially since almost every pre-made sim would require it.

So apparently they added an option to set sinks as bathroom sinks or kitchen sinks. I'm not familiar with making games or anything, but shouldn't they be able to make it so the game detects if a sink is in the same room as a toilet or a shower so the sim knows it's a bathroom sink and automatically won't go there to wash dishes? I don't get it. It just seems so unadvanced and lazy to make it so the players have to fix the dish washing thing themselves.

TS4 was my first and only Sims game, and I'd never even gone without a new pack (albeit entirely pirated). I finally got onto TS2 and I'm honestly in disbelief over how much better it is. I nearly jumped out of my chair at discovering that you can place buildings wherever you want in a neighborhood and not just in pre-determined plots. Even the stylization is so much more endearing than whatever TS4 has going on. Even the CC out there is generally more tasteful. I feel like I've opened my eyes for the first time.
Is TS3 worthwhile at all? Granted I'm not very involved in the Sims community but I feel like I never hear discussion about it like I do with TS2/TS4.

Since the game is open world, lots of things are going on while you're only playing a single household and it can tank performance and such. It also takes awhile to load the game when you launch it but after that the only loading screens are pretty much CAS and I think loading between worlds. I know it's a lot but trust me the game is pretty fun when you start playing.

>>347991TS3 aimed high and was arguably ahead of it's time. You have a simulated open world where you can leave your house without loading screens and insane levels of customization when it comes to textures. But it all came with a cost of optimization; the game is so demanding even modern computers struggle to run it properly. You should ideally have a proper gaming rig if you want to play it.
TS4 is a lazy piece of shit slapped together from the remains of a gutted online game. I imagine most of it's fans are new players who have no idea how much better the series used to be. It's "improvements" are inadequate compared to everything that came before (e.g. the emotions system is inferior to the moodlets system in TS3). From what I've heard the game is still missing basic shit from earlier games, like burglars and vehicles.
Sadly, TS4 seems to be a financial success, so I don't think we're ever going to see a Sims game as ambitious as TS3 ever again. Why make an effort when TS4 has proven that the series will rake in money no matter what?

>Traits Enabled All AgesEnables all traits for all ages, so your Sims and newborn townies don't have all the same traits when they are born and grown up (babies have a smaller pool of available traits compared to adults/teens).

It's also possible to resolve most of the performance issues. I can run TS3 on max settings on an old computer without problems.

TS3 has no built in frame rate limiter so if the hardware allows it to it will run a 600+ FPS, which does nothing other than cause performance issues and stresses your GPU.
Run the game from a fast drive such as an NVMe drive as this significantly cuts down on loading times, having RAM with a high clock speed and tight timings also helps.

>>348631>>348633>>349529Lol sorry
nonnie I got distracted and forgot.
There's been some development with my current legacy gen heir: she had triplets with a world famous celebrity vampire. (My heir on the right and vampire fiance on the left).
Originally, Lilith Straud-Vatore (she married and had two daughters with the daughter of Vladislaus Straud) hated my heir because vampires and werewolves automatically hate each other but my sim was enough of a kiss-ass to become friends with her. She must think my sim is very attractive because she was very receptive to flirting and agreed to try for a baby quite easily. Of course, my sim had ulterior motives. She only began to flirt with and had children out of wedlock with Lilith for extra fame, considering that Lilith in my game has been a five star world renowned celebrity actress for generations and generations. In the lore of my sim save she's been a household name for hundreds and hundreds of years, so it was only natural for my sim to try to kiss up to her and eventually use her for fame. I was going for a "she denies these children who are clearly hers are hers!!" smear campaign that would sour the public's idea of Lilith, but Lilith was over the moon excited for the pregnancy kek. She actually randomly popped up in Del Sol Valley and proceeded to run up to my sim and propose to her because she's just that in love I guess. My sim, who finds her extremely attractive but has no authentic romantic connection with her and was only planning on a quick fling with a high pay out, said yes of course.
I don't know if that means Lilith divorced her wife or not but that's never happened to me ever in a save kekkkk.
Her plan definitely worked because she's now a five star celeb and she's had like three promotions. She feels quite accomplished.
She also moved out her triplets and her half siblings into the remaining mansion in Del Sol Valley so they could raise them while she furthers her career.

I've just made a troon household in the sims 4. (a TIM and a TIF) The TIM is a tech guru trying to cosplay as a "barbie tradwife" and the TIF is an overweight freelance artist who gets paid to churn out trash and they're married. So far I'm already having a ton of fun with this save. They woohooed once and the TIF got an embarrassed moodlet due to being "unsatisfied" while the TIM got a happy moodlet for "good woohoo".

Lilith's only trait is evil and he's already started feuding with his own father Olivia which makes me kek. Maybe it's because his bed is literally out on the porch. I've been trying to boost Olivia's cooking skill so Olive can have the precious tradwife she needs but the idiot would rather sit around and play video games or program, and I can't even fault him because it helps his career.

While Lilith has been starting all sorts of hell with his father Olivia, he's been relatively friendly with his mother Olive and she in turn has been affectionate to him. Olivia caught onto this and went full narc rage on both of them, immediately quitting his job because why not and going to Summer Holiday's house, deciding to woohoo her out of spite for his family. Surprisingly she said yes because she's a handmaiden and she even became his secret girlfriend. I'm pretty sure he got her pregnant but I'll have to wait and see. Since him and Olive still have a lot of relationship and she doesn't know yet I think I might get Liberty or Travis to tell her since they were on the same lot but I'm not quite sure where I want this to go yet, I might involve another handmaiden who seduces Olive instead. Lilith hasn't even had a day of school yet but he's def gonna be ostracized because of his parents alone.

>>350828Oh nonnas have i got an update for you.
See this retarded looking gay moid? This is Brady. He's Lilith's schoolteacher, and he comes over to tutor him because he's already failing miserably despite just beginning to attend school. He doesn't start out as transphobic, in fact he's so retarded he doesn't even know about the existence of trannies despite being an adult in a liberal state (I usually pretend Pleasantview is mega-liberal)
So the second he steps into the door and presumably calls Olive "ma'am", Olive falsely clocks him as a "cishet, straight white man" and feeling the need to prove her oppression to her invisible tumblr fans, seeks an argument. So now they have a bit of a bad relationship, no big deal, Brady tutors Lilith as normal and leaves.
After seeing the scandal his mother made to his teacher, Lilith gets embarrassed and pissy and yells at Olive, so now he hates both his parents. Of course this doesn't mean he's gonna detroon or change his name just yet, because he doesn't realize he's being groomed like that and despite anything, his parents still want him to be trooned for the false idea that they raised a well-rounded, inclusive child. (which they didn't, Lilith is ten times more of a little shit than the average naughty kid)
So after being heckled by her own kid Olive has to watch as Olivia retardedly invites over Summer Holiday and makes out with her right there. When he's called out he probably tries to preach how monogamy is a prison but Olive isn't having it, they divorce but she doesn't have the nerve to kick him out just yet, because if she did he'd be a homeless NEET due to quitting his job and for some reason she still "likes" him (feels bad for him).
Also I'm still not sure whether summer is pregnant or not. I'll introduce a few more characters later and keep this story going.

>>350849>>350855New update nonnas!! So Summer is pregnant, I switched to her household and had her take a test. Olivia panicked at this and immediately broke up with her, all in the family house. He tries to apologize three seconds later but she's too hurt and just insults him. Honestly I feel bad for Summer, but at the same time what did she expect? She's seen/met Olive I'm pretty sure.
So now it's time to introduce you to 2 new characters. On the left is Tim Kim, a TIM with a goth fetish, and on the right is his roomate/sister Hannah Kim, a schizoid (erratic) shut-in
TERF. They're the neighbors of the Olives. Neither of them work but let's just say Tim is pretty enthusiastic about the drug industry, although most of it is just edginess he owns some stuff.
So of course the moment they move in they start arguing about trivial things and Tim runs off to the bar to cool down. It just so happens that Olivia is at the same bar and they immediately get along due to troonness and fetishes.
Remember how I briefly mentioned that Brady, the retard blonde guy, was gay? That's because he has a husband who he JUST married, named Ralph. And guess who else is at the bar?
So Tim goes to hit on him, immediate rejection because while Brady may be dumb he knows what men to pick.
While Tim wants to explode since he's already pissed, Olivia still moping about the breakup with Summer holds him back.
(Ralph has known Olivia btw, but I won't spoil the connection yet)
So Tim does the totally sane thing and follows him home to stand outside his yard. That's all. Then he just goes home embarrassed cus no action.
Meanwhile Hannah has met Olive, and they don't get along at first since Olive is still pissy from the divorce, but Olive knows a fellow loser once she sees one so they'll def meet again. Sorry for not much plot progression here kek

As we're sharing TS4 troons, here's the T4T couple that I have has townies, Brianna and Laurelai. I made Brianna after the gender update and later added his partner. Brianna works in the journalist career and Laurelai is a code monkey. I don't have them in my rotation, I just keep them around for my own amusement. The female situational outfits look especially ridiculous on them.

>>350914Hello nonnas! Sorry for the late and shitty update but I hopped back onto the game and aged Lilith up!
He looks retarded but considering the genes he had to work with I say he did well. I also made Olive bake the cake (it turned out horrible) and she was screaming at Lilith the whole time while doing it so… Act of love or not? Honestly I think they hate eachother more than I initially thought.
I gave Lilith the erratic trait because who wouldn't become batshit insane after having the childhood Lilith had? His aspiration is the curator which makes sense considering he has nothing but a bed on the porch and an activity table he drew a total of half of a picture on. (His bed will continue to be on the porch btw)
He spawned in with normal typical-looking masculine clothing so I'd say he's already detrooning but his parents won't be told yet, I'll save it for when he's a young adult perhaps or just wait a day or two for them to find out naturally.
Olivia and Olive started giving eachother shit at the party in front of all the other guests, Olive criticized his woohoo techniques which made me kek.
That turned into Olivia moving on from an argument he couldn't win and trying to provoke Brady, which he probably would not have done if he knew that his troon friend wants to fuck Brady's husband.
This got Lilith mad at Olivia (since Brady is the reason he just barely passed school) and they actually became straight-up enemies right then and there.
(Lilith and Olive started getting along with Hannah too so I think some plot is in store here)
Olivia then proceeded to brawl with Brady and actually win due to his hulkish build which got Lilith upset again. Honestly if I were Brady and my student's parents acted like this I'd just quit and never look back so he's better than me.
Again sorry for not much plot progression nonnas, I swear we're gonna get into the good stuff soon. What should Lilith's name be once he detroons?

>>351379Here's the plot progression I promised nonnas! Well I hope you'll find entertainment in this at least. (picrel is kinda unfitting, but it's a picture from the events of the last part that I think is funny)
So Summer had the baby, and she immediately stormed on over to Olivia's house, probably demanding compensation/child support. Olivia, who's only money is the funds he mooches from his ex-wife, adamantly refuses and essentially tells her to fuck off, and she's not seeing a penny. So Summer is raising this baby by herself, unless you count the help from her roommates, provided they give any.
She threatens to do stuff such as cut Olivia's limbs off and pluck his eyes out, whatever gruesome scenarios are coming to mind at the thought of her casual fling (who was using her as a side piece to cheat) getting her pregnant and then deserting her bring.
This sends the wuss running to the bar, where of course he meets Tim Kim again. Now at this point Tim has been obsessively stalking Ralph, Brady's husband, for several days. Hannah has confronted him on it with not much merit. He found out about Brady through his stalking, and being hit with the realization that there's basically no chance he can have Ralph now, derives a plan.
So here's where I tell you how Olivia used to know Ralph- they dated as teenagers, back when Olivia was just some weird social outcast weeb. (Ralph probably doesn't recognize him after he trooned out.)
Of course, like with almost everyone in his life, Olivia is spiteful and angry at him for them breaking up, and he likely vented to Tim about this over drinks last time, so Tim has some leverage here.
He convinces Olivia to drug Ralph's drink for him successfully, after which they'd take him to Olivia's house and use their shit-caked rectums to ride his flaccid dick all night- or just jerk off to sissy porn instead while he's passed out in the corner, whichever comes first.
Since it's Olivia's house and Lilith lives there- and sleeps on the porch- Lilith is bound to witness these two hulking troons hoisting this unconscious man into the house, which alarms him especially because he recognizes Ralph as Brady's husband, him and Brady are close friends as I mentioned before and he showed him a picture of Ralph at one point.
Which makes him even more concerned as he hears the sound of troon gooning (they went with the sissy porn plan) through the walls. He has unwillingly been informed of a huge potential scandal now, and he has two choices- either inform Brady of what he thinks he's just seen, or stuff it under the rug. And although he loves his friend and doesn't want to upset him, he just can't get past the need for witnessing drama, so guess which one he'll pick?

>>351973To make this even worse for TS4, the corruption in TS2 was debunked as a myth by a professional coder. Lazy Duchess and Chris Hatch had been saying this for years and it was proven by April Black.
April Black video on corruption
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cB67DGDXFQThe TL;DR of it is that the myth started by people misinterpreting Pescado. What does cause corruption in TS2 is having too many sims in a save file and corruption can be caused by errors when writing a large save file to a slow HDD, which also happens to both TS3 and TS4.

>>351474Another shitty update… so Lilith went ahead and told Brady everything that went on with Olivia and his husband. Since he never learned how to properly articulate a sentence, and Brady is retarded, all Brady hears is that his husband cheated to fuck a troon and he goes batshit with a full mental breakdown, flickering from being enraged to completely depressed every two minutes. He storms off to his home and divorces Ralph instantly before running off to live with his rich parents in their mansion… Which means he's likely too far away to come over and tutor Lilith now.
Ralph, who was utterly obsessed with Brady for reasons I won't get into, is devastated from the divorce, and swears revenge on the two troons who victimized him. He knows their faces but not their names or any info on them, leading him to become a wandering vigilante (crazy-looking junkie) ready to snap at anyone who might resemble Olivia or Tim.
Meanwhile back at the Olive's house, Olive and Olivia have finally caught on that Lilith isn't being the uwu transfem real gurl they needed (him dressing like greg heffley helped) and had a complete meltdown. Olivia nearly brawled with Lilith before swearing that he's done with this household and would never mooch off of them ever again before walking out of the house to who knows where… Let's see how long that lasts. (And Olive missed work just to cry no matter how many times i cancelled the action.)
Really short update since I haven't got the chance to play much, sorry nonnas.

I also had Generations installed which allowed your sims to attend prom when graduating and afterwards they receive a framed picture from it like picrel, they were so cute on it. I also really enjoyed taking these two out on mini dates in the small Maywood Glen park where they played chess after school and then stargazed when the sun went down. I think I will play sims again tonight, I got so nostalgic.

>>356309>>352213alright so next part! Sorry for dormancy, I got hooked on the sims 2 and haven't opened my sims 4 save in ages.
Picrel is Brady's sims 2 clone because I think he somehow looks even more retarded this way. I would probably continue this storyline on the sims 2 if i could find the right tranny mods to make olivia, olive, and tim, actually.
Anyways, Lilith tracks down Olivia in an alleyway after the meltdown, and decides that now is totally the best time to confront him about his perversions and the night with Ralph. He has a mental breakdown as he accuses Olivia of taking everything away from him due to his own coombrain and selfishness.
Wanna know what Olivia does? He goes into deep thought and finally realizes his wrongdoings, apologizing to Lilith as he prepares to fix his broken family.
Just kidding. He actually doesn't have time to do shit, because right besides him Hannah, who was inhaling crack like a vacuum just a few minutes ago, is getting jumped by Ralph for looking like her brother. Genetics, man.
Ralph decides to hold her for ransom until he catches Tim, too drunk to realize the other troon who dateraped him is literally right in front of him. Olivia takes this time to bolt off and leaves Lilith in the dust. Lilith might just stay and try some crack while Hannah gets beaten up besides him.
Wondering where Brady is? Well, his rich parents, wanting to get even richer, hooked him up with a sugar daddy from another elite family! (Well, not really because they're the same age, but you get what I mean.) He probably thinks it's a genuine relationship. It's not.

>>356549next part!! Picrel is a random photo of Oliver I took. Isn't the resemblance to a real tiffany just striking? I can even see signs of TIF posture starting to sprout.
Summer shows up at the Olive family's house again, looking even more deranged as her neglected kid behind her seems a bit older and is slowly taking the mold of Olivia's ghastly face. She doesn't seem to care when it isn't Olivia who opens the door and starts screaming on about child support and dismembering limbs again. If Olivia were to have been home, he would've been scared shitless because the only thing he wants dismembered is his penis.
However halfway through her rant she notices the absolutely defeated and empty look on Olive's face, and backs off.
Olive is in a pretty bad mental state right now, because she's just starting to realize that she has done nothing with her life. Despite all her notions and calls of rebellion and pushing against the norm, she ended up just like any miserable misguided tradwife with a sleazy useless husband, only she's claiming to be a totally real dood. Shall she join the 41% after this devastating realization? Well, no.
What she WILL do just a few hours later is leave the house with the door unlocked and allow Olivia to arrive and see that all of their possessions are at his total disposal now. He takes off with as much loot as he can hoard (since I don't decorate much, that "loot" would be Olive's eyesores of paintings and maybe the fridge) Thus technically keeping to his vow not to leech off their money while still making himself happy, and potentially earning a lawsuit if this were IRL.
So what will Lilith do upon the discovery that his house has been ransacked and his mother has laid down like a doormat yet again? He's running away to become a hippie in Oasis springs, the very town Brady is living in right now! (They won't meet just yet..) Olive begs her son not to leave but he isn't listening anymore, and he tells her she can sell his bed for extra funds before running out into the sunset.
Meanwhile Tim has gotten word that Hannah is being held hostage by a crazy junkie and faces a moral dilemma. On one hand, he could say "Told you so evil twansphobe!!" and leave her to die (and have to tell his parents why his sister is dead) or he could just surrender himself and likely get mauled. For every second he ponders Hannah becomes more and more schizo thinking about all the games she could be playing with her e-kitten discord server at the moment.
Oh and by the way Lilith is a crack addict now after he had one snort of coke. He doesn't know it yet, just like he hasn't quite realized how he was groomed as a child. I'm just doing what I please with this story by now kek

>>357117Hey, nonnas! I'm slowly, but surely getting to the end of this series. Bear with me and my walls of text.
So back to Brady with his new boyfriend. While they hit it off at first, the boyfriend (Who we'll call Carl) becomes more and more snobby, only using Brady to feed his own ego, if not riding around in his lamborghini with his mates all day.
While other people in his family's elite friend circle might have seen it as normal, Brady, having lived in a modest off-the-grid home with Ralph (who, like I said, was utterly obsessed with him) for years and years, doesn't understand or accept Carl's lifestyle.
When he talks to his mother about this, she scoffs and calls him picky. Likewise, when he asks Carl for an explanation, he scolds him and straight up calls the relationship what it is: nothing more than family alliances.
Heartbroken, Brady decides to immediately GTFO, with nothing of value except for Carl's rich-people STDs in him. And the power of friendship I guess. Since he has nowhere to go, he weaves back and forth around the shops and clubs aimlessly, pitying himself and his situation.
He snaps out of his trance when he bumps into none other than Lilith, with his girlfriend behind him.
That's right, Lilith got a girlfriend, picrel is her. Her name is Violet, and he met her while he was dumpster diving for crack. She told him he was ugly but since they were both homeless and liked drugs she was gonna date him and he just went along with it.
Brady looks shocked to see Lilith looking as raggedy as he does and worries for him, with Lilith laughing and telling him everything was just fine. They catch up besides the museum and Brady offers to travel with the two teens, and they become the three hoboketeers.
Meanwhile, Hannah has gotten tired of waiting for Tim to save her and decides to take her freedom. She finds a dagger and fights Ralph with it until his face is permanently disfigured, then she runs for home.
To her dismay, the power has been cut at home because Tim pondered so hard he forgot to go to his job and pay the bills. (or at least that's what he said.) Hannah just huffs in disappointment, and decides the next-best thing to satisfy her game cravings is to go down to Olive's house.
Well, Olive does have an unlocked door (again) and an internet connection, but she also has Summer besides her, stroking her back as she slumps over an armchair and cries. Curious, Hannah approaches and decides to find out more. Summer tells her the whole story, and she forgets all about gaming and wants to help Olive.
They offer to all settle in Summer's house together (Travis and Liberty who?) and look after Olive. Olive accepts, but this won't mean the end of her story just yet.
For now, she befriends Summer and Hannah and gets to slowly bond with and help raise Summer's child. Time will tell if she's content at all.

I'm more interested in LBY because it's being made by Rod Humble and Paradox. Paradox is a publisher of simulation and strategy games and Rod Humble is a former Maxis developer that worked on both TS2 and TS3. I'm prepared to overlook the graphics if it delivers on the simulation aspect.

Apologies if this has been shared before, but I couldn't find any mention of this ITT, but a few months ago Grant Rodiek stepped down as Sims creative director. Grant had always been known as somewhat of a snotnosed little fag amongst many simmers (lest we forget the reasoning behind no dog houses in the sims 4: IT'S ANIMAL ABOOSE!!!), so I can imagine that this is a breath of fresh air for many simmers.
On the note of sims 5, the creative director is now Gina Herrle. I'm not trying to be misogynistic, but statistically speaking, bringing on a woman to replace a man in a higher up position within a company is usually bad news. Companies bring on a woman to take the heat for failed projects and products while the men who instigated the downfall in the first place are safe from public scrutiny having already retired or stepped down beforehand.
We all know now that the development of Olympus was an utter shitshow calamity which resulted in a game with relatively ancient-ass code being put forth as something much fresher than what it was. Then those old bones were beaten and taped and glued a trillion times over in the ten years of its active life. Sims 4 was not, and is not, a good game, gameplay wise and also technically speaking (compared to previous sims games). Something tells me Grant Rodiek has seen what is on the horizon for the franchise and it was finally enough to push him to officially dip.
I have a really bad feeling about Sims 5. It's going to be another SimCity. The sims franchise is effectively dying off as we speak.

These coomers not only download mods to play real porn videos on the tv and CC of pornstar’s pictures to hang in their sims’ homes, but also pornify the core mechanics of the game such as the damn loading screens (see picrel).

So I've been playing TS3 for quite a while and in-game it fucking lags so badly. Like holy shit, I changed the settings, video performance, graphics, no interactive loading screens etc I even did a change to the core files and it still lags (although, not that infernally anymore). I thought maybe it's from the mods/CC I use (I don't have that many anyway, the mods I have are only NRAAS). I deleted some I didn't need and it still lags. Wat do

>>400940I was. I hoped that even if the graphics were shit, that the underlying simulation would have more depth to it than TS4 and would maybe play more like TS3 given that it was developed by Rod Humble.
I still think the game had promise but it was clear, especially now that it's been cancelled, that there was serious mismanagement issues at Paradox. The game was in development for three years and the development team was just 24 people.

>it also made it possible for adult sims to romance teensreminds me of the sims 3 awesomemod, using mods allowing that along with awesomemod installed gives young adult and older sims the pedo/sex offender trait if they actually try to romance teens.
I didn't think much of it as a kid/young teen at the time and I'm sure neither did most kids using inteenimater but now as an adult I do feel teen woohoo/pregnancy mods are creepy, especially if they allow romance with older sims. Though I did like that the inteenimater allowed for an "emancipated teen" basically young adult pseudo-life stage. I do wish Sims 2 had a proper young adult life stage that was not inherently tied to attending university, the teen life stage is already way too long anyway, at least compared to adulthood.

Did anyone try out the new expansion pack? I don’t know how they justified making Lovestruck an expansion pack instead of a game pack. I’ve hardly noticed anything except getting texts and calls from sims offering stuff like going on a bunch of blind dates or getting a Geoffrey to be my sim’s sugar daddy, oh and the turn on and turn offs stuff that should’ve really just been base game. Also as per tradition, there’s a new genderspecial in the new world, picrel.
And before anyone questions my money spending, I used anadius like a normal person to play around in the new pack>>405438I just redownloaded the game so I didn’t have any issues with save files considering they were deleted a while ago, but I have gotten that weird glitch where sims just autonomously start arguing.

>>405514He's a guy. He's got the get others pregnant and is recognized as a man by the game (he can get alien pregnant). I thought he was a tif at first because I thought he was in a relationship with Carmen, who is a lesbian in the game and only interested in romance and woohoo with women. But apparently they're just friends. I got it wrong in my original post, Yoltic the straight guy is attracted to Elia.
Also I apparently missed one of the genderspecials. Picrel is a tif. She's the only teen in the new world. Everyone else is YA, Adult, or Elder. And apparently her mom (Adult) is in a situationship with her brother's old high school classmate (YA).

Just a warning if anyone hasn't seen elsewhere.
The new pack is causing save file corruption again, so if you do have the pack, you will probably not want to play any save that you've been playing for a while and want to keep.

No. 408548
>>408010>>408075>>408094In their minds they might also justify that they just need to show off this new 4-specific feature, compared to regular same sex relationships that have been doable in every vanilla game from the start, though it only took until 4 to actually have premade same sex couples.
By the way back when the first Sims was being developed the idea of allowing same sex relationships was highly controversial, and only got snuck in because of "managerial oversight". Honestly says a lot that by the time regular same sex relationships finally got relatively mainstream acceptance (in the west at least) after long battles and controversies, they immediately got shoved behind because troons and other gendies are the new hot issue now and average same sex couples are suddenly too "normie" and "not marginalized enough"

>>412323Apparently a few youtubers have been given the game to play and it does feel a lot like how you're describing based on what I've seen so far.
I don't know if they're still planning to release the game in December (I think they're going to do what life by you was going to do with early access), but they are apparently still working on toddlers/babies and a few other things.
There are a lot of new videos on youtube showing off the game as it is right now.
I'm curious to see if you can actually make the characters look different because I noticed that certain parts of the face seems to look the same, though I'm not sure if it's just because most people that are sharing their characters are still learning what they can change about the faces.
Either way, I think the game is pretty but very dull based on what I'm seeing, it feels a bit like how modded gta/ gta online roleplay looks and feels.
It looks like it's going to be quite boring to play.

The Sims 5 isn't happening and EA decided that they're just going to continue milking 4. Project Rene isn't the Sims 5, it's something else entirely. They plan on doing something big apparently for the Sims franchise's 25th anniversary. Oh yeah, they're using simmers to create content for them and publishing it under the guise of "collaboration" instead of hiring someone to make assets.

Also do I hate the Sims community on Reddit so fucking much. I truly don't understand how you can complain about ANYTHING the game does. And then you check their post history and they've been posting about playing the game for multiple years, hugely modded, every single EP bought. I thought the game was shit? I thought it was "barely playable"? I thought TS2 and TS3 were "sooooooo much bettah!!"

No. 417044
>>417041>people will talk about how TS4 was sooo much betterKek not the case. The sims 4 from it's conception was a hack fraud job made with fucked up spaghetti code because it was meant to be a mobile game. The sims 3 was always meant to be a direct continuation of the previous two games. The sims 3 got flack for it's pushy store item advertising in game, and later got flack for the lazy world building of later worlds (MUH GRAVESTONES ARE BUYDEBUG AND NOT REAL!!!!!1!11) but the sims 3 itself, though a poorly optimized mess, will always be the superior game over 4's lack of soul and dedication. You can download mods and edit the text files to make the sims 3 run better. No matter how many shitty, half-baked mods you download for the sims 4 it will never be a full, "real" game.
The sims 4 will always be the inbred retarded little cousin to the sims 1-3.
No. 417187
>>416956The game is not worth buying. Pirate everything. I paid for my TS2 EPs and those were worthwhile, no regrets. TS4 is trash.
>>416889>>417041I think you're forgetting that the games were gradually expanding their depth up until Sims 4. Sims 1 had very crude (but charming) graphics, Sims 2 was a huge step up, then Sims 3 included the open world, and so on. Frustrated Sims players want to see that sort of progression happen again. A game with Sims 4 build mode, Sims 3 open world and Sims 2 live-mode gameplay would be wonderful (as an example). Sims 4 really is a step back.
No. 417223
>>417187That is the thing though. TS5 would most likely had been closer to being TS4 in terms of depth, not the holy mix of TS2 & TS3. It's just weird to me that on one hand EA is getting hated as this greedy company that killed the Sims (which they are ofc), but on the other hand they would have totally made TS5 this amazing perfect game if only they let go of TS4. No. They would have fucked up TS5 again.

>>417258People have tested it, they are the dumbest sims to date. They will literally just stop mid action even if it’s important like eating or shitting and start yelling about their needs being bad. Just self cancelling actions and then doing random actions not even close to what you want them to. I’ve never had issues like sims sitting on the toilet to eat until the sims 4.
Sims also don’t work in the way a lot of people think they do, sims at their core are incredibly retarded. They are essentially put into action by the items around them. No items and sims are husks. For whatever reason Sims 4 sims will not autonomously fill their needs in order to live like the previous titles even when you have every item they need in front of their face. How the fuck has my sim pissed herself over and over and died from starvation even when directing them? I exclusively play the Sims 2 now because of this and their other bullshit bugs, and I’ll play 3 when I get my new computer.

Pleasantview was originally called Pleasantville and several of the premades in Pleasantview share their names with Pleasantville characters.

I made a bubble dome residential rental. The bathroom/shower are in the basement for each rental. I also built a two story greenhouse and an aboveground pool. The domes are just roofs. Its neat watching the rental sims cook or paint sometimes. Sometimes the rental sims will stand outside my sim's bubble dome and turn on the grimophone from the current event so they can listen to music and dance, but fortunately they don't do this when my sim is sleeping.

I recently downloaded all of the DLCs for Sims 4, having only played a few DLCs above the base game before, primarily playing Sims 3, and WOW. There's so many social menus now it's annoying to navigate. I have to pause the game to make my sims say/do multiple things in conversations whereas before I could get them all in before the first interaction even ended. I guess it might be nice for those players who want more choices of what to say/do at least. It just overwhelms me, and I have trouble trying to find the option I want because I don't know which menu it's in.
