Because you're not supposed to have fun.

This is a really weird game. I don't understand how this game was created. I really wish someone would give an interview about how this games' features were decided upon. And its crazy because yesterday I was thinking, 'I might get this game' and today I'm like, 'No, no, no, bad idea. Bad me. Bad.'

WILL

NOT

BUY

You ommited the children.

"Will this feature take more than 10 minutes to implement?"
"Yeah..."
"Cut it."

I think TS:O ended up with hackers ruining the games economy and people resorting to prostitution and stripping just to make money (genuinely serious).
So yeah, EA can't moderate shit.. Expect the gallery for TS4 to be full of empty lots and 'naked ambers'.

Wow did the Family tree causing memory bloating ?
Why remove it ?
Another nail in the coffin for Legacy Game Play, no make that all game players (whose me Daddy & Mumma).

Another WTF moment brought to you by EA/Maxis

MAKING FAMILY TREE'S AINT EVEN HARD maybe twallan or someone else can make one?

Is it the default flyover? Hm, flies between three points of interest 30 strides or about 100 feet apart. And the final point of interest is decor that can't be reached. I see the deep exploration they've been advertising. /shade

They really should be implementing such a basic feature, maybe give everyone a 25c discount for each feature taken out, off the retail price.
This really has the feel of a indie start up game now, maybe it should have the same retail price.

Thank God for a simguru who doesn't talk to us like we're half-wits.

I am a programmer and I found it useful that he explained *what* constraints he was referring to!

Don't worry everyone, you can just pretend there's a family tree.

Twallan is retired.

wtf...i'm so sad. why would they take the family trees.. it's just.. *going back to the roots*.. yes, sims 1 didn't have one.. but hell it got a ton of gameplay more than THIS.... this is mental....i see no chance of legacy playing here.. does even the label "cousin" exist?.

So they'll announce family tree as a brand new feature for Generations Remake?

Now seriously, it would be cool if the delayed that family tree to make a better one with more ramifications. And so you could zoom in to your current family(e.g dad,mom,son) and zoom out to see relatives:uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.

"Family Tree, like never before."


Maybe it's a tendency to producers to act that way...remember Graham said something about Idk press/community training(whatever)? And Meatball once said (paraphrasing) gurus like him and Trevor were different, just normal people that like to talk about the game but were not exactly supposed to do? So they speak their minds not following guidelines, I guess.

I have to laugh at it otherwise I would cry. *hugs*

Don't worry guys. Just order the 'Do it yourself family tree' set for $9.99!

No family trees? What's the point of having a family then?

Graham really needs to lay off the sauce and stop the yoyo comments...

"Updated 8-14-2014 Graham corrects his previous statement regarding object resizing. Object resizing will be included in The Sims 4."

I need a drink.

I don't understand the family tree thing. Surely they will have family trees, just no way of seeing them?

God, that was one immersive game.

Huh? The whole "children never grow up"* thing precludes generational play in TS1.

*except with a spell in Makin' Magic

Hey, if someone could make a "kids age up" / "adults die of old age" mod for TS1, we could have a TS1 Legacy.

There is already a kids age up mod for it. And teens. And smarter babies (by me)
