Since we have H&M, I assume it's IKEA that said no. But I still see stuff like EKTROP and BILLY in IKEA stores so I'm so confused.

The music removal makes sense though. Even GTA games suffer hard from this because the labels demand more money

what music was removed?? The soundtrack is just as vital to the game as anything else 

 

guess it's good that I still have my ultimate collection!!

I can't find a list yet but I assume it's the simlish versions of IRL music that got chopped. atm folks who bought it seem to focus on the technical differences. Apparently they also got rid of the Body Shop feature?????

Opens Sims 1 reddit for info on the re-release

 

First pic I see on there:

it makes no sense to me that anything would need to be removed. It's not like they bought a license they had the artists sing the songs they should own that 

 

Not them getting rid of Body Shop this is feeling more and more like a cash grab from them. Can't say I'm shocked tho!

It is compatible though, it's just missing some packs

why not mac 

most packs were never released on mac to begin with so a re release of something that never existed makes no sense

[#Beautiful]

i do wonder if they did indeed fix pink soup because literally everything else we had already fixed over a decade ago through stuff from modthesims and tumblr (for free)

[#Beautiful]

and the random sims 4 kit in an attempt to compensate for ikea's absence is hilarious

I saw someone on the Reddit say they tried adding a thousand items to trigger the pink soup and they couldn't get it

Not these being a flop that doesn't actually modernize the games very well. They basically just used the same fixes mods used.

I will NOT be watching what this EA shill says who admitted she hated the Sims 2 @Adam's Eve She will do 1 video on it then go back to her Sims 4 blue suburbans.

I know she's young and never vibed well with TS1/2 but I'd want her react to the unhingeness that was TS1

Omg guys. Anyone already bought The Sims 1 and The Sims 2? How is y'all's experiences so far? I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews that are stopping me from purchasing the games (again lol).

 

If we download the Ikea packs from somewhere else, will the custom content that used Ikea meshes work? I think some games might be crashing because of that probably?

 

Ugh I'm so anxious about this whole thing. I really want to download them but I don't want to take the bait and get two faulty games with two stupid TS4 kits...

[PokiTails]

Sims 1 re-release doesn't upscale the UI and doesn't have the external Sims Creator 

This is just like how SimCity 4 on EA App doesn't have the Build Maker tool. Why does EA hate their external tools so much?

This should've been a free patch for anybody who already bought the game before. It's outrageous they want us to pay (not so little) for it again just for it to work without bugs  F*ck EA today and everyday.

 

But hey! At least it's purchasable again so that's a good thing.

Yeah apparently this is detected as a separate game from Sims 2 Ultimate Collection so I'm curious if this means:

 

- we can't transfer saves between the two versions?

- we have to copy CC into both games' files? So now whatever amount of CC you have is doubled in storage size? 

 

And yeah I'm sure there's a good bunch of CC based on IKEA stuff that will be broken due to this. I have probably at least 20GB of Michelle's recolors of IKEA items. I'm sure she'll update them if necessary but damn...

You should be able to transfer saves

 

And apparently if you have the IKEA files, all you need to do is copy them into the new installation. I haven't tried it though

Oh I'm sorry it must be because of the recent OS version then. They update the game yearly I think so it must get fixed soon

[nathanspears]

The IKEA trick works perfectly 

[houndsoflove]

just bought and played for like 20 mins and it crashed every time I tried to go to a lot in magic town oh okay.
