So back to TS1. I remember my Sims making plate after plate of food even though their hunger bar was totally full and their energy/sleep bars and fun bars were in the red ..

In other news I found something kind of amusing on Amazon, okay apparently you have two choices for TS4, Limited Edition for 59.99 USD or Premium Edition for 79.99 .. apparently if you pre-order the Limited Edition you get an upgrade to the Limited Edition for free..

I am thinking that one of two things is going on,
A) there is a cheaper standard edition that EA hasn't listed yet that consumers are not aware of so they can force people to purchase the Limited and Premium Editions,
B) its a typo, Amazon and EA are desperate and are trying to coerce people into pre-ordering the game by giving them the shiny booklet and plumbob whatever you get
this time, and the 4, outfits, silly party hats, and bar you will never use in game for free.


Personally, the second option is more believable

I just don't undestand why he refused to pee. He sat on the toilet and the got up, several times. Was the uncomfortable emotion(or whatever his emotion was) preventing him from sitting? I don't get it

You know you're at a crappy party when you end up in a corner browsing the Sims4 chat

I can't wait till I get home so I can watch the live stream

Maybe the toilet was dirty? But even so, if the toilet were disgusting and I had to pee, I'd wipe that bad boy down. Edit: Or do the Bum Hover.

Weirder Sims. They pee on lawns.

In TS2 toilet cubibles (not normal toilets), sometimes if they were about to go into bladder failure, it would trigger the "stress cancellation" limit all interactions have and they would leave the toilet cubicle in order to pee on the floor directly outside! A sort of design failure. Sounds like it might have been repeated here.

@gwynne Oh it got much worse. You probably weren't there for the most awkward situation there has been thus far. We thought no 'yell at' was extreme but actually gurus aren't allowed to watch sims woohoo because that would be indecent of them. They literally shielded their eyes. I wish I was kidding.

@siletka Yes, its now more sensible to actually watch rather than play since they won't listen to you anyway. I have no idea what setting freewill was on but if that was 'no' freewill, I can't even imagine what it would be like on.

One was broken and one wasn't. It was so weird.

I'm very picky about my toilets, it took me a while to "become friends" with the toilet in my bf's house, and his toilet is always pristine clean, and i avoid the public toilets like the plague, but if you have to go, you have to go, it's better to do your stuff on a dirty toilet than having an embarrassing moment

I know that in sims 3 neat sims won't go on a dirty toilet, but what if their bladder is totally full? I don't remember if they go anyways or just pee themselves

I still don't like how they were randomly arranging themselves to do something that they were already doing before, like Torso and the blonde chick flirting at the table... That would annoy me, especially since it kept happening with others.

For some reason, he also kept avoiding the fact Mortimer was trying to pee but it kept stopping, which led to him peeing himself. And this was the upstairs toilet, not the broken one.

The producers are probably quite familiar with which parts of the game are glitchy or problematic, and the stuff they're showing us is taking that into account.

Yeah you're right! I just want to see Bella's pregnancy. Hopefully they added some little things to that since they took out toddlers, I mean it's not such a big deal but I am going to miss how adorable they were when you taught them skills.

Created double post earlier but I'll just edit:
Also, the failed flirts... did they up the game in the Sims compared to how easy it used to be to flirt lol not sure if I like this or not though

I don't get it either, but that same thing happened in the video with the twin guys with hats, if I remember correctly.

He didn't almost pee himself - he did pee himself. Mortimer went to eat on the sofa and the 2 gurus were focused on Bella and Cassandra in the dining room. Then when they went back to M, he had the stinky sock thought bubble I think and was sitting in his own piss. I would make a joke about smarter sims if it didn't seem like beating a dead horse. Then they sent him to take a bubble bath.

Well, how could they avoid the glitches when the whole thing's a glitchfest? I don't think they're trying to accept the glitches and show us what the game is all about, I think there are just so many glitches that by simply playing the game they'll be noticeable. I think at this point the game is so glitchy that they can't avoid catching at least five glitches per unscripted game play session.

Good grief.

Welp, that's what you get for disobeying your overlord. You sit in your pee.

Seriously, smarter sims would have just meant he would have made a toilet paper nest for himself before using the toilet, like any sensible person would do.

I mean, they're trying to avoid showing us the WORST glitches. This is why they keep showing us the same stuff over and over; they know that stuff isn't totally broken.

Or seeing as he was only meant to be peeing he could have remained standing. But no, they're not smarter. I've noticed the weirder stories is now mentioned by gurus far more often than smarter sims. It's like the truth is dawning on them.

I think that would be creative, especially if the sim is neat, or snobby. Nah, we must listen to the self pat on the back for the "I've gotta pee" twisty walk that has become annoying already and I haven't played the game.

Proclamation
First modder to cut that walk out will get a special gift from me. I will PM you and yes...I do follow through.

If that's the case, I'm scared for September 2nd. What could be worse than, well, Sims sitting in eachother? Perhaps something so terribly game-breaking as to corrupt entire saves. I've already heard about crashing at Gamescom.

Heh, heh. I'm just evil. I can't wait to watch the first Let's Plays and reviews. Now that is going to be good.

That's a point - why didn't Mortimer just sit on some other sim and pee on him? Would have been warm, clean and comfy.

And weirder...a bit more entertaining.

Of course their "Weirder stories" are things that some of the us consider pretty normal like stepfamilies, gay people, nerdy, fat middle aged female gets a life (Amber) bros hanging out with their friends playing Sims (okay so maybe that is a little weird because most males I know of any gender preference who subscribe to the whole "bro" culture thing tend to hang out and play Tekken or Street Fighter, Borderlands, NCAA College Basketball, or WWE Wrestling games together.. not Sims), or you know the boring middle aged male nerd who stays at home all the time playing videogames (Pancake Bob).. not weirder stories folks that's everyday life for about 80% of the population..

horrible....
Also can someone explain me what the hell is this orange circle on the action menus is?
I wondered from TS3 era...
