I loved suing the paparazzi in Sims 3. I miss the city hall days.

Simulation lag is a serious issue too.


When Sims 1 potentially outdoes a pack in terms of raw content, there's a problem.

I've had enough of that in both TS3 and in reality. Let's go to Christmas Island. I hear it's a jolly place!

I have high hopes they will do better in Sims 4.


Do you think vampires will be able to feed on paparazzi? I don't see why not! That could be fun!

I'm with you! Just want to go somewhere! Once you've done Granite Falls and the Jungle bit it gets rather day-to-day blah. Sure, parties, events, relationships, all that's fun, but the one thing in real life I can't do is travel. So, I guess that's why I like my Sims to go to diverse cultures. Christmas Island sounds fun too! Or maybe go on a voyage to shipwreck somewhere. Head to Mexico, Antarctica, I don't care....somewhere!

First thing I thought of was Sims 3 Late night, but I said that when I saw City Living exp. It's like they took sims 3 Late Night and created 2 expansions and one Stuff Pack out of it. They added some stuff to them, but still..

I somewhere established that their branding scheme is to mark the expansion packs as huge recuiring focus themes (stardom, apartments/penthouse, ambitions, going to club), while game packs take a chunk of mechanics (suc as managing a restaurant) and make them into new branding content pack. That's why clueless people see okay that Get Famous is charged for a hefty 40$ price (I guess exception would be Spa day, as that resembles close to what a SP would include). Outdoor retreat and Jungle Adventures are a vacation destination. I mean it all makes sense when you connect dots.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Be nice if vampires could feed on paparazzi and turn them so they burn in the sun.

I see what you mean. That does make sense for the branding. Just not so much for the price with the skimping on content for an expansion pack.

Well, CL briefly mentioned on how you climb financially from cheapo to luxurious pent house in the announcement article, so I guess there are similar of having your sim reach wealth.

I'll admit I hadn't thought of that, burning in the sun. I was looking forward to drinking them dry without the guilt!

Are there no new life states in this one? I seem to only be able to enjoy Sims 4 with sims in costumes, pretending they're actually a bear or raccoon or rat. Can't do that when trying out careers though, because they are turned into disgusting humans with clothes. Vampires have been good stand-ins for that, so I hope there are more life states in the future.

Because they been in Late night? Well that pack was orientated primary for partying in clubs under the night fall, which suited best timing for vampires. Vampires in CL would been out of place.

Someone has a mod where sims who are drunk (???) dry die... make a game of it, get famous, and go out and drink a few of them

I played it briefly last night, but my first initial thought was the very small new neighbourhood, all those large community blocks and hardly any space to actually place families and expand to. I can't say much about the gameplay as I didn't really have that much time checking it out properly as yet.

I want to see an "Into the Future" and "Back to the Past" with pasts in both 1955 and 1885 versions.
And Sixam is a disappointment... I want some things to do there besides gather rocks. I want a complete Alien update to make them more awesome like they did vampires. All the good aspirations are for Vampires, and aliens can't become vampires. In Sims 3 Aliens could summon meteors that enabled them to stay awake (sleeping sims - BORING!) and make money fast!
Maybe add witches like Sims 3 Supernatural but more Hogwarty.

They'd probably have to "partner" with the copyright holders of Harry Potter in order to incorporate "look and feel" from Hogwarts.

I've played a couple of hours today, and so far I really enjoy the actor career. At least initially it's not super easy to get gold on the work day, and the interactions makes sense and is fun to complete - compared to GTW careers it's a lot better imo. It's possible it might get repetitive after a while, but so far it's fun. Also I'm hoping there's a certain amount of randomness to which scenes spawn, so that it's not the same thing over and over. The Acting skill is quite entertaining. I like the animation when a sim is practicing acting - the sounds they make when they forget what words they are supposed to say is funny. Also the new self employment feature really helps with the immersion - it has improved my game a lot.

The new world is super tiny, and it sucks, it looks okay though. Not sure for how long I'm gonna go 'sucks I can't build there...or there...or there...or there'.

So be it. Move. ~Jason Bourne
