So Sims updated yesterday and somehow every time I activate mods in the options menus and restart the game it says I have to activate mods. Does anyone know that problem? 

They do this on purpose. If you update your game with mods installed, it could break your saves and game.

Not at all. We usually get a supernatural pack every two years or so. 
 

Aliens - 2015

Vampires - 2017 

Witches (also Mermaid but they’re meh) - 2019 

Werewolves - 2022

 

But 2021 was a very small year because of the pandemic so it likely was meant to have Werewolves. 

 

Also got Servo in 2019 (Discover University)

My sims keep reacting to something dirty in the living room and I CAN’T find the source. Nothing. I tore that room up and down. I hate it so now I gotta find a new house.

They said, "We ain't this b!tch-ass house. Move us, NOW!"

thank god they announced they wouldn't abandon Sims 4 even when Sims 5 is released

not too excited for Project Renee so...

Yeah, they said "Project Rene and the Sims 4 will exist side by side"   Which makes me wonder if The Sims 5 is... even a thing? Or EA will continue milking Sims 4 for another generation of gaming? I HATE IT! 

[Unoriginal]

i'm kinda presuming "side by side" means we might get another year out of the sims 4 when rene comes out with something small (ie kit, game pack) and then they'll stop releasing for it. the game engine and code is 9 years old at this point, has been running horribly for years, and would need a severe overhaul if they want to continue supporting it with full fledged expansions. i'm not sure they'll invest the money into that though

Downloaded TS4 on my ps5 recently and I can't believe older game packs are still like £35 

 

So you basically have to spend a fortune to make a game playable with these essential packs

I did exactly that!  

 

The new house is way better tbh. And more spacious.

Yes and I’m STILL getting game crashes whenever I travel or exit build mode. **** is crazy. 
 

I don’t even want to think of the money I spent over the years. I own every DLC except for like 4 kits and Horse Ranch. 

[poki]

Wow that's crazy  it plays good for me on my ps5. I usually only keep at most 5 EPs and 3 GPs at any time (based on what I want play with) so maybe it has to do with that?

I'm honestly terrified to try it out with all the DLC installed. 

 

New trailer is out.

This is the 4th time the sales table is resold to us. City Living, Jungle Adventure, Eco Lifestyle all have it.

love the new kitchen set omg 

[poki]

Oh yeah CAS and build buy looks fantastic 

 

I love the hairstyle the blonde guy at the start has. Reminds me of the Cottage Living hairstyle so it's good to have an alternate version of it that comes with a DLC that will inflict less bloat on my game.

The red and yellow swatches seem like 1 to 1 matches to one of the Dream Home Decorator kitchen sets so looks like it has good potential to mix and match the two

I'm pokitaurus btw, I have a new name lol

Last christmas each major expansion pack was on sale for 60% off so hopefully this Christmas will have such a sale as well 

 

Your best bet for now is one of the bundles.

It's like people are on drugs

Sims 2 I recently redownloaded from the EA (Ultimate Collection) and it's fun. Clearly shows its age but they had put a lot of thought into making this game and it still stands on its own. 

[noonbob]

So was nothing shown from this Rene project?

[noonbob]

Never mind I'm watching the ****, omg it sounds so bad

Now it makes sense why they don't call it Sims 5.
