I actually set up a nice restroom for male and female separate. It's quite hard to not hit the wrong stall when the rooms are very small and compact. Can't afford lots of showers.

It was also a bad idea to have a sink in the main room where the restrooms were located because I had sims who took sponge baths, so they either shooed sims and kept them from exiting.

How bad it is I want to play the game instead of cleaning the house. (Yeah I sound like a broken record).

It's spring in my game and I'll be able to put Greatcheesecakepersona's stuff in my game (seasonal fields anyone?)
I'm also supposed to get rid of CC I don't want and add new ones. Will I succeed?

I'm more tidy with my sims' homes than my own....

Don't be silly.

Also, I'm here instead of marking. I hate marking. But am at home today, marking at home, because it's so freaking hot outside in England atm and I didn't want to go in to an overhot office just to mark. Ugh.

Can I play the game?

(answer: no maxon, get on with the marking)

Tidying my sims' home is easier than my own.

@Maxon: I hear you even if I don't mark. It also hot in Paris and I'd rather stay home than being outside. Today is my last day off.
I'll be back to work tomorrow and I won't be able to play the game (well I'll try).

Life would be much easier if I could install Pescado's macrotastics on family. Macro-skill-creativity=get your rear to the piano or guitar and PRACTICE!!! Macro-clean and macro-garden would also be lovely. Macro-do homework would get used constantly.

Macro-skill-dancing seems to happen naturally, though . . . as does macro-hobby-games

God, I get you. It's also boiling here in Wales (wow, who'd have thought? not like we're on the same landmass or anything) and my cats are lying outside due to heat, getting covered in pods and nasty leafy bits, and being too lazy to groom them off
I guess we're lucky that Sim cats don't get lethargic like real ones XD I bet my Simself's cats would never let themselves get into that state.

Also in Wales *waves*. This heat . I'm hoping it doesn't get any hotter, I'm working 28 hours over the next two days. If I was a sim, today I would have my energy motive continuously stuck in the orange!! It's too warm to do anything. I barely even played Sims today. I just watched them whilst eating a continuous supply of ice lollies.

Meanwhile, here on Canada's east coast, it's not really hot at all. It was snowing up around Newfoundland.

Here in the South it's officially hurricane season and it's been hot and muggy for the past month. It's been raining a lot where I'm at too, one moment it be sunshine and the next a wall of dark thunderstorm clouds rush in. I live in a part of the mountains where it doesn't flood as much like down at the coast, but at this point it might as well flood .

And here in Maine, it's not really been hot, but the nights are actually cold. I guess our summer will be the 4th of July. (old Maine joke..)

It's supposed to be 2 degrees cooler tomorrow. Not much of an improvement and I have to go into work because we're having a meeting (and more marking).

The other day, though, it was really warm, and someone had left a dog in their car. I went into the store and told the manager and they called the police. Don't leave dogs in hot cars!

I read this chat session about Seasons and Celebration stuff pack, and i found interesting information about thunder sounds.

I jump on the chair because of fright when I hear the sound of a thunder.

About Country theme


I like this theme in game.

And one of the secrets of the success of the game, why is it popular now:



I found my answer of question: Which you favorite stuff / expansion pack?


One year was needed to create this addon. How much time did the Sims 4 developers need to create a similar an addon? 3 years?


I always liked reading stories about the development of Sims 2. They are so exciting and inspiring. Why is it so?

It almost certainly didn't actually take the TS4 team that long to develop Seasons. It was about a 3-year difference between Sims 2 and its Seasons expansion release as well.

For both games, Seasons was the 5th expansion.

EDIT:

Sims 2 = Sept 2004
Sims 2 Seasons = March 2007

Sims 4 = Sept 2014
Sims 4 Seasons = June 2018

Alright, so I was a bit off. Sims 2 Seasons released about 2.5 years after TS2. Sims 4 Seasons released about 3.5 years after Sims 4.

Regardless, it didn't take them that long to develop TS4 Seasons (especially when you factor in that there are now Game Packs, which as far I know are essentially mini-expansions, something that the TS2 development team did not have to deal with), and there isn't a need to knock the TS4 development team either way.

Agreed but I'd like to note that the TS2 EPs are jam packed with stuff compared to the TS4 ones - those game packs are for stuff that used to be in the EP.

But in Sims 2 base game devs wanted to add rain. And they can't to do it because the rain was buggy and game was lagging. (Wow, I have a rhyme there ) And they decided to leave it for later. So we get Seasons.

Fair enough. But I think that's more the fault of the publishers than the developers: EA definitely pushes to spread out the content through Game Packs and Stuff Packs more ($$$); in addition, as far as I'm aware, the development team for Sims 4 is much smaller than Sims 2's development team was (I know just a few months ago they "let go" of a few long-time devs and moved others to one of the mobile Sims games).

My point is that it's not fair to make such comments about the Sims 4 developers, because I'm sure they work their butts off and are doing what they can. Throughout video game forums (Paradox games come to mind), people like to point their fingers at the developers and blame them for things, and I think it's often undeserved (especially since we're on a forum for TS2, where the majority of people prefer Sims 2, so what's really the point of being rude to the TS4 developers?).

Yes. EA are only interested in the profit from the game. If the game is not financially successful then the developer's studio will be closed. This leads to a crisis of ideas. You can see this in another modern games. Most of this using proven financially settings and gameplay. Sims 4 devs trying hold out and to please to EA because if they didn't do that Sims 4 will be closed and devs will transleted to Sims Mobile project.

You know, I tried Sims 4 a few days ago. I could not get into it whatsoever and found myself pining for my TS2 Simmies. I guess when you get used to something, you get used to it!

It's true. My daughter plays Sims 3 and sometimes misses Sims 2 (and the huge amount of cc available). She did load Sims 2 on her old laptop once and it was a lot faster to load but she was used to Sims 3 and had all her families there, so yeah.

I wasn't being rude about the developers - I was agreeing with you.

I got my wisdom teeth out today finally. It was a bit scary going in because the laughing gas didn't work like I thought it would, I was still coherent and with my sensory issues, the blood pressure cup and the I.V. was a nightmare, but the actual surgery lasted for about 20 minutes. My jaw is a tiny bit sore and a little swollen but I'm not in terrible pain. Luckily I didn't say or saw any weird stuff after waking up so now I'm healing up. This gives me the perfect excuse to play sims more often now :P

Hope you feel better @Primavera Back when I had mine out I had them out under general anaesthetic. Did they give you a large syringe for your mouth and saline solution? If not be sure to swish with salted water, it helps both with healing and pain.

Thank you for that . The medication I'm taking is pretty good at taking away the soreness (prescribed medication instead of Advil), and I have to take antibiotics to stave off an infection. And after they put the I.V. in I was knocked out so I don't know if they did that; my mouth was pretty numb for a few hours though, so they may have gave me a shot of Novocaine. And I'll be starting to swish with warm salt water soon, right now I'm eating pudding and mashed potatoes and drinking plenty of Boost and water. At least the bleeding stopped so I won't have to use any more gauze.
