PopKills Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron511 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 For the 5th game they really need to just mix the best aspects of Sims 2 and Sims 3 - multiple playable families with interesting backstories and characters + great customization/design options and improved gameplay from Sims 3. I'd play the **** out of that, meanwhile I didn't even last an hour playing Sims 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
better than revenge Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Simple things could make this game more interesting like for example, just adding more personalized wants and fears that are about other sims like ''This sim wants to flirt with...'' or ''This sim wants to spend time with...'', I know something like that already exists in the game but personally I barely get interesting wants that are focused on specific sims, it's extremely repetitive. I know not everyone likes the wants but it can always give you some ideas and obviously you don't have to agree to do it. Another thing, attractiveness system is really missing. Imagine your sim finding his wife's sister or something physically attractive. It already makes it more interesting and gives some drama. They truly need to improve the gameplay instead of giving us unnecessary objects but I don't expect them to do so.

Year of Shadow Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I really wanna do a spooky Halloween town. I'm looking around CopperDale (HSY) and it just now struck me how creepy it is. Like, actually looks like a horror movie town. Yeah I'll do a spooky town for Halloween season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a LIFE long sim player (like sims 1 on my windows 98 computer) and haven’t bought a sims 4 pack since seasons. It’s the most successful because it’s the most accessible and PC friendly. It also doesn’t help that EA is giving the base game away for free to try and squeeze new players for all they can get. Sims 4 is the most lifeless, soulless, cash grab game out there. it’s wild to suggest that very valid complaints against the game is the ‘vocal minority’. personally, I don’t think all these indie life simulation games are going to do huge numbers but I hope they threaten EA enough we get a sims 2/3 quality game (if that’s even possible in today’s day and age) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year of Shadow Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 - New stuff pack (yes yes, a stuff pack) about cooking. Has a waffle maker and a new modern kitchen set. I guess now we pretend Cool Kitchen doesn't exist anymore? - New "neighborly" expansion pack (yes yes, our 3rd $40 DLC this year). - 2 more kits - Castles kit will arrive early 2024. Please don't mess this up EA. Full on fantasy please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesamtkunstwerk Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Regarding The Sims 5, their goal is to aim for something à la Fortnite. Free to play so kids can play it without asking their parents for a 60-80$ game, instead they’ll ask for 5-30$ microtransactions/dlc once a while instead. Makes more money in the long run. Tbh, I could see it so super well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the most *played* game in Sims history, had already sold like 40 million before it was made free. It’s huge. Sims 3 is right there and failed to keep players from jumping ship. And Sims 3 Pets on PS3 had like 40k lifetime players, so even if the “too powerful for PC” comments come, no one was buying it on console either. It’s definitely a minority that isn’t buying.

Just because it's the most popular or *played* doesn't mean it's good Fans have literally no other option to get their simulation life fix. The best games in the series (1 and 2) aren't even available anymore, and if you do manage to download them, most modern computers struggle to run them. Also, the 40 million sold isn't impressive, because the sims sold over 100 million back in the time where PC gaming wasn't even as big as it is now. (It doesn't help that the sims 4 has been dragged along for almost a DECADE now). The Sims has ALWAYS been a top selling game. Hence why EA turned it into the microtransacion mess it is today. Also, it's silly to compare a stand alone game (sims 3 pets on PS3) and the full game with all 1000 packs on most major consols. I'm glad you feel like defending this mess of the game, but you failed to address any of the real concerns people have, and instead resorted to SaLeS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
