They're trying to cater to all these nans in their official forum with their equally prehistoric machine. Have fun trying to live off them then. I'm saving my money for the new Pokémon game.

OMG WAIT!

Completely forgot about that, I think I may have to.

Let me install The Sims 3 + EPs and wait another 5 years for the Sims 5 which may or may not happen.

Sims 3 has enough mods and expansions to keep me entertained for years. Passing on 4.

Graham Nardone on the cuts

You can’t weigh features by how much you want them in the game, you have to consider how many development resources it takes to create them. The tram? A couple of days from one of our FX guys and it’s finished… very low risk, very low complexity (using entirely existing tech), and adds a nice visual punch to the neighborhood. I can’t recall ever scoping against FX… they always have time to be adding more stuff. Our FX folks submitted their own long list of things they wanted to work on because there wasn’t enough for them to do. Now, you can’t take the FX team and ask them to add pools to the game. They don’t have the work skills to do it; neither do I. Pools, toddlers… they’re extremely complex features that require months of man hours of work across multiple disciplines and introduce significant risk. If we were to have added one of those to the game, there would have been two choices for us… cut many small features, or cut one other significantly large feature. And again, it isn’t equivalent - you can’t just cut a large feature and expect it to line up; you have to cut enough to get all the numbers for each discipline in the green, which means cutting extra to get to the point where the hardest hit discpline has enough time to do their necessary work for it. Now you’ve created free time for other disciplines who previously had work, but are left twiddling their thumbs… so you need to find work for them to do that only impacts the areas that you have time to spend in. If you look at one weird aspect of the game and wonder why it took priority over something that seemed important to you, it’s entirely possible it was something that the right people had time to work on without disrupting the busy people. Game development is a constant puzzle where you’re matching headcount and skill sets against features, schedule, and budget, and you’re trying to make everything fit just right with as few gaps as possible. Unfortunately time isn’t like money; you can’t go into debt on time and pay it back later.

I really feel bad for them. It's not their fault that EA didn't give them enough time to finish the game properly.

Any good websites to download Custom Content for the Sims 3? I just installed it on my new laptop.

the sims 3 has a lot of great websites but you'll find the best quality of CC on Tumblr imo, everything looks so good.

thesimsresource.com

It isn't their fault - but if you can't handle the flames, they need to stop flaming the fire. Making a response like this BEFORE the game even comes out is signs of a huge disaster. Statements like these are usually after a game drastically underperforms and they need to explain themselves.

What's Story progression?

I've played SIms 1 & 2 but it's been a long time so the Sims 3 is the only one I really remember.

Boo ****ing hoo

If you were able to create it over 10 years, then 5 years ago, you can't tell me in 2011-2014 it can't be done. Just admit the game was suppose to be online, that idea was scrapped and you still had to release the game by a certain date. Mind you, the game was confirmed to be released in March 2014 by EA last October... many don't realize but the September date is already a pushback

Story progression is basically the thing that makes the people you don't control do things (marry, have children, work...) by themselves. It was confirmed to be removed from TS4
The EA one on TS3 isn't that great tho you can find mods online which enhance it such as the Nraas Story Progression mod.

Tumblr's obsessed with photoskinned texture nowadays. I thought we're over this after Sims 3 was released tbh.

I feel like they lost the main point of the series. Different players have different ways of playing the game and that's that, but it's coming off that they're forcing this "weirder stories" to us. Builders are forced to build houses 3 stories max with no terraforming of any kind. Legacy players have a major life stage missing for them to play with. Simblr guys have no CASt to customize their sims with, also a problem for the builders. **** weirder stories. I'm not here for NPCs roaming the streets with luchadors and astronaut suits on. It's cute at first, but it's not even funny anymore.
