Do y'all think they've been low key developing a Mac format and will "surprise" release it with the actual release or soon after the actual release in order to boost numbers?

I'm no gamer but who releases PC only versions these days? Especially a game like The Sims who have made mac versions before.

You should've asked for a CAS demo code, if she was really that interested, you could've made a deal.

Unfortunately this will happen.

EA really shouldn't be forgiven for selling an unfinished game though.

HausOfCarlos, I remember you asking what Erich's parents looked like. Found some pics.

Is there a mod that gives gays the chance to get pregnant?

I just discovered Anjulie's Headphones and Luke Bryan's Country Girl in TS3 (I think they were added in Pets).

Luke Bryan and Anjulie slaying SimWorld!

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection has made me forget about the CAS demo. I can wait. The gameplay demo doesn't look great either, it looks and feels like a cheap version of Spore (which I love but, it's not The Sims).

Does know any mod about making lots more active especially clubs? I think I've downloaded one once but I can't remember what it was and it bugs me how much hotspots are Empty unless I throw parties

why people say open world is a bad thing like it can't be finalized, they can make a "smart open world" or open world 2.0 if they want to where there are more sims on a lot if your sim are going there, it's not 2009 people, game these days are smarter and better, technology has drastically evolved since 2009, their excuses are irrelevant in 2014 lol

Because if they did that, then it would have to run on high-end PC's which The Sims 4 isn't going to.
If they were to make a Open World like The Sims 3 and have it that busy constantly, they would require much more powerful PC's, something that isn't even standard in today's market.

Have a look at The Sims 3 running on ultra settings on YouTube. One guy has a Core i7 2.9Ghz QUAD core, and The Sims 3 STILL lags. Simulation games aren't as easy to make because everything is chance etc.

So if The Sims 3 still lags with that gear, The Sims 4 would die on anyone's computer if it had the same open world.In games like Grand Theft Auto, everything is mostly pre-programmed.
But with the Sims everything has to be programmed on the spot, which means there is a lot of power going towards that.

The Sims 4 has the same requirements (if we go by the demo) as Grand Theft Auto IV, and a lot of people had to upgrade their PC's for that. The Sims 4 already requires much more power than The Sims 3.

Unless you all wanna go out and by 3.0GHz+ computers to play an open world map without lag! I'm happy with The Sims 4 as it is.

If it requires more than ts3 & about the same as GTA4, why did they take so much out

Them leaving out things is due to them Maxis not having enough time to finish the game due to EA forcing a deadline. But that has nothing to do with an open world.

We no longer have a completely open world, it's now a smaller open world BUT it means that more can go on at once. We can now have 50+ of Sims roam the neighbourhood (there were 30 at the park alone and more appeared in the background as they looked around). There were also other elements as well.

So they replaced a massive world with a smaller world. But they replaced having two - five Sims in one area, to 30+.

---

The reason why Simulation takes so much power is because it operates like the real world. If you choose to do something, the Sims around you react to that (aka the Domino effect). That requires a lot of power.

It why The Sims 2 basically DIES when you use the boolprop cheat "Invite all neighbours". SO much power.

Agreed. Not here for a surprise release

I plan on partitioning my mac for the Ultimate Collection and then if I don't mind the partition, I'm gonna just purchase Sims 4 when it comes out. But I would be pissed if they announce a Mac version shortly after I bought the one for PC.

Maybe they'll just do what they did with the Sims 2 Mac versions and release them a few months after.

I want the Sims 4 to appear on the Mac App Store. Sim City does, surely The Sims 4 can. It would mean I don't need to worry about a disc or a program like Steam.

I must say I really enjoyed the gameplay video.
The loading screens don't bother me at all and the idea of a completely open world never did it for me anyway in TS3. As someone aid before I'd rather have a loading screen and a populated lot than no loading screens and a lot with 3 people on it
