!!! I love having a close knit family but in the Sims 3 it's such a chore.

I resized your avi for you btw

Yas stan!

what makes you say that? I'm almost certain the game will be open world, no way would they go back to having load screens every time you wanted to leave the house.

i love having like 6 kids in my families, but then i start hating them and stop playing

The open world is the biggest source of corruption in the game (just like how memories caused corruption and bugs in Sims 2). EA brought in some HR people to fan sites like ModTheSims and someone confirmed that there was likely not going to be an open world or CAST for stability issues and to make it more playable on older computers.

Bare in mind this was more than a year ago, before they completely scrapped the always online , and they noticed the negative feedback about taking out those elements and brought it to the directors attention. So it is entirely possible it was fixed by now but who can say.

i need cast i will not survive without cast. that's the only reason i dont go back to playing sims 2 (i can even live with the loading screens!!!)

wow, I didn't know that they had kind of confirmed it

not sure how I'd feel about it not being open world, that's one of the reasons I find The Sims 2 hard to play because it's so frustrating doing anything w/out sitting through 7 minute loading screens

but at least that means there'll be a higher chance of it being able to run on my old ass laptop.

The game WAS delayed after SimCity's parameter: <string> disaster so it is possible so many things have changed. I stopped checking on The Sims 4 when I got bored with 3 and the constant crashing. I imagine they are trying to rebuild community trust with Sims 4 so I have a feeling these things will come in some way or another. They can't afford another SimCity disaster.

I am pretty talented at making hot sims in TS3, if I do say so myself. Terrible at building houses tho. They always just look like big boxes.

There just needs to be better gameplay in TS4, the Sims 3 was perfect until you actually started playing the base game...

nn

what made ts2 so perfect was that you could literally do anything you wanted. ts3 is more of an opportunity based game and doing certain things in a certain order.

Didn't know there was an active The Sims thread here

Can't believe the game will be out in a few months and the only screenshots they released are like 6 months old

Let's talk about how AWESOME cas is going to be! So ****ing excited. I spend like 85% of my time playing TS3 in CAS so this makes me so happy.

Sis once you find out, let me know
I deleted all of my CC once and my game was running SMOOTH. Then I got bored and downloaded CC and it started crashing like crazy. I don't like playing it without CC for some reason... but I can't even play and enjoy it WITH the CC since all it does is crash
Never had this problem with Sims 2.
That's why Sims 2 >>>>>>

What types of expansion packs do you want for Sims 4? It's getting difficult to think of fresh ideas.

Mess this is looking worse and worse. And the lack of news. I've been positive about this game since last May but this is not shaping up well. I'm fine with no open world though, if they serve Sims 2 with very minimal loading screens I wouldn't be mad.

I definitely want a celebrity themed one, Late Night was perfect.
