there are quite a few gameplay videos out



this guys kinda slammed the game though

I agree that the smartphone kinda kills a lot of progression too, you should at least have to buy it.

Kotaku's one, the map looks better than in that screenshoot imo.

So it turns out babies are pretty much objects and you can't take them away from the crib or view their needs etc

I've defended this game so much but honestly they aren't helping themselves here.

I only have three problems with this game, but they're pretty major: babies, toddlers & teens. Everything else is perfect for me I really hope they're fixed later on.

At this pace I doubt you'll be able to build your own damn house in TS5 base game without having to buy the expansion for it.

Oh and let's not forget the careers. You can't be a police officer or a doctor anymore, they deemed the astronaut career to be more important.

It's not like it would even be that hard to add basic careers to the game now that there's no rabbit holes.

woo he dragged a bit

I'm so hyped but this is starting to seem like they're releasing a beta full price before the real game.
Hopefully the backslash is enough for them to include toddlers, careers, pools and apartments.

wait. you can't be a doctor anymore? Nnnnnnnnnn just when I was starting to get into this mess.

There are some blank lots, and more lots than what we can see here.

But it's still kinda small.

It will probably be really easy to mod new careers in but still, we shouldn't have to install mods for something so simple

I'm sure this game will still be great, and I'm still so excited. But there's just no excuses whatsoever for some of the things they're leaving out.

The small worlds are actually something I really like. I think it's the fact that you can enter every single lot, so there's no more going into a restaurant and not being able to see anything. Plus you can easily travel between worlds so we're getting more like 50 lots in the base game rather than 25.

He did, however praise the combination of the Sims 2 world and The Sims 3 world saying it's better than both

The emotions I knew would be crap, however, the Sim did talk to the child once he got over his initial hate of children. But why you would choose the hate children trait when you live with a child is dumb

He praised the hell out of build mode

I agree the smartphone kind of ruins the point of needing a computer, but by the same token, the Sims 3 ruined the need to own a house phone. And you didn't need to by a mobile there.

And he praised the graphics

& yeah I would prefer Pools than depressive walks.

Yeah, but isn't that the whole of Willow Creek? Or is just a portion of Willow Creek?
I prefer the smaller worlds too

It's the whole of Willow Creek, but there's also Oasis Springs that you can go to as well. It's kind of like one big combined world.

I'm playing The Sims 2 rn, and my sim is such a thot.

He's currently sleeping with all 4 members in this Sim State University fraternity.

Like someone said before, the game looks like it will age better as they add more stuff to it and you can always torment it if you don't want to pay for DLC.

[gloamingtheplain]

But at least we can put the "not open world" debacle to rest. This guy was obviously not going to hold back on things he didn't like, and he didn't.

But I knew that this is what would happen. The developer says in the first video said the combined the S2 world with the S3 world in order to get the best of both. Higher detailed lots, with more Sims and more going on.
You still get to explore the mini world in where you live, but you feel like you live in an actual neighbourhood.
Which is what I said from the start, seems to be the goal.

I don't like the fact, the map looks so empty for Willow Creek. The amount of residential lots should not match the amount of community lots. I am confused though, because we've seen more mini-worlds (the beach, the one with the tram, the one with the boat etc) yet the map only shows 2? Idk. Maybe you can edge scroll on the map

I'll be honest though, this had made me more excited, not less. I really am glad build mode has improved (except when it comes to doors and windows).

Can I just say though, both those houses are TERRIBLE

Let's plan the Sims 4 era. Like, how many expansion packs would you want and what would they include? I feel like

• 1st expansion: Livin' Large - Includes things related to everyday life: actual works, babies, toddlers, pools, shops, nightlife
• 2nd expansion: Chillin - Includes vacations, amusement parks, seasons and beach/rainforest/snow stuff.
• 3rd expansion: Petsona - Includes pets, hobbies, events like expos, award shows, etc
• 4th expansion: Emancipation - Includes University and apartments.
• 5th expansion: Magnetic Poles - Includes rural stuff like farms but also high class stuff like private parties and the ability to design your own furniture and clothing (CAS)
• 6th expansion: Afterlife - Includes Heaven/Hell where you can play with your Sim after his/her death, magic, supernatural stuff
• 7th expansion: Competitive Business - Includes minigames related with sports, management and stuff. Also you can open your own store.

As for stuff packs, just give me a Popstar one with iconic looks like MJ, Gaga, Bey and we ok EA

Ugh so I had to update The Sims 3 to 1.67 to install Ambitions and now it doesn't work. I'm using W8 and it's done this before.
