Argh. Can anyone explain to me why tumblr doesn't give a date/time for its posts? I feel like I've seen all those before, but it might be deja vu.

I think they like to release screenshots with a car on the road just to mock us

Look at the faces of the figures in the foreground. Are those supposed to be children or short adults?



They look like tiny undercover CIA agents with those expressions.

She said it was a mix of new and old on the video they were taken from.

It should if you hover:

I'm kind of disappointed how soft female faces are. I tried to make an Angelina sim to see how sculpted and angular you can make a face, and it still looks really soft even when maxed out. Also, it's really difficult to make angular eyes. I wonder if the Adult sims will have less soft faces... But looking at how children are miniature adults, and teens are un-distinguishable from YAs and grandpas are totally rocking the hipster look... I'm not too hopeful. :/

Lengthy article, be sure to read through to page 2.

It's quite tricky but I managed to create a sort of long-angular face. There are two anchors around the jaw line. One is just above the jaw line and one slightly below/behind it. I decreased both as much as I could then with the anchor that's situation slightly below/behind I increased it. To increase the length you drag down and you can select the whole head to manipulate the entire size of it.

First I thought you were planning on making a stew - then I checked Urban Dictionary...now I can't stop laughing.

Yeah, I know . Gargoyle Cat will be glad to see that I'm back to my usual self, talking about boobs and farts.

Edit: I found it on wikipedia, btw. So it's sort of classy, I guess.

Thank you for posting this article. I've never seen it before and there is lots of really good information.

I agree completely. That's more or less exactly what I thought when I first saw a child in a render.

Whatever they are, they sure don't look very impressed.

....~~yawn~~... what the heck was that? TS2 had the best with cutscenes... TS3 was tepid but this one... BORING

I've said before that my final decision on the game was going to rest on how they handled romantic relationships and family. Le sish.

I remember in TS 2 & 3 before they would woohoo, I'd be like OHHHHH THEY'RE GONNA DO IT!!! Now in TS4 it's like "that's it?"

I grew up with aunts and cousins just flipping the tit and feeding the baby so this is so natural for me, I don't ever bat an eye when I see it. I did however get surprised when I was at a MacDonalds one day and a 4 or 5 year old boy eating a meal with his mum, got out of his chair to walk over to her across the table, push her shirt up and started drinking. That made me a bit uncomfortable. I'm used to babies and toddlers not 5 year olds although I'm sure a few people would say this is totally acceptable.

On another occasion, a co-worker and I went to a meeting at corporate headquarters, she couldn't get a babysitter so she brought her 6 month old with her to the meeting. When she breastfed her in the meeting, she put a shawl over her, flipped the tip and carried on. Surprised me a bit but hey... there you have it.

I should get some work done, but I made this for you guys:

Cowplantage info. Kinda split up on Twitter for whatever reason, so enjoyyy.

@SimGuruGraham @Henri302 the milk you get from the Cowplant has the power to give the emotion to the Sim who drinks the milk!

@SimGuruGraham @Henri302 It's a great way to steal emotions! When I'm working a career and I want my Sim to go to work in a specific mood...

@SimGuruGraham @Henri302 ...the cowplant is very helpful. BUT your Sim will be in danger of dying if you have them get eaten repeatedly...

The woohoo looks almost the exact same from TS2 and TS3. Woohoo never has foreplay or any hugging/kissing before. If you want them to make out before or anything, you've got to be the one to direct that shrug. There is always sex position mods.

Sims Community posted an article: The Sims 4 Preview: Children, Teens & Parents!. It's a simple this is what happened type of article which I like. The social groups that form sound awkward or perhaps buggy? And it looks like no consideration was given towards family members in regards to emotions -- which is a huge loss, IMO.

Huh, so Uncomfortable is not only for motive danger. The father listening to the plunking on the piano - doesn't sound like it would drain motives, unless it was Bladder and the noise is the Brown Note.

Yes. Yes this is the face of someone who's just been shunned by her loved ones. A++ emotional realism, EAxis.

Not sure if this is new info, but in sorting through files, I found some interesting things for... events? Thingies wot can happen? Not sure, but there's event outcomes (tin/bronze/silver/gold) and then things that say stuff like "CollectionComplete_Crystals" and there's not just crystals, but aliens, fossils, elements, gardening, frogs, microscope, metals, postcards, MySims (?), telescope and space rocks.

ETA: Also references to twins, and triplets.

ETA: References to the removed woohoo skill as well.

ETA: Maybe the stuff that pushes sims to be out and about in the neighborhood? Ummm, there's "walker_Job_GardenDistrict_FamilyTime" and then that last section changes with options for: SchoolCommuter, OnTheTown, Park_PlayTime, Park_Relaxer, Park_Jogger, Park_AfterDark, and WorkCommuter. Also "job_Guest_CostumeParty" and "job_Guest_BlackAndWhiteParty" (?) and stuff like that... job_voodoo_summoned (?), job_barfly_lounge, walker_job_WalkOfShame? All kinds of stuff, so I'm thinking sims are grabbed and stuffed into these roles cos there's a ton of them. Apparently there's caterers and bartenders for parties, too? (job_caterer_dinner_party)... "situationjob_leave_now_must_run" (lolwut?), "walker_Job_Relationhip_Windenbourg" (uhhhhh?)... "job_mentor_library_museum" (mentors?)... "job_Smuggler" and "job_PossibleSmuggler"?

ETA: Familial relationships: son/daughter, grandchild, grandparent, parent, aunt/uncle, stepsibling, cousin, niece/nephew, husband/wife,

There's like, Secret Agent stuff as well... "KnownSuperVillain and "ExposedAsSuperVillain", "PartnersInCrime" and "ArchEnemy"

ETA: "friendship-bff_BromanticPartner"



"relbit_SocialContext_Awkwardness_VeryAwkward" - hey, there's not supposed to be references to me in these files...

ETA: Loooooooads of achievements. Also "CareerSituation" stuff which seem to be chance cards.

Also traits, many of which are not CAS chooseable, like EpicPoet, LivingVicariously, PaMatriarch, MentallyGifted, SociallyGifted, PhysicallyGifted, CreativelyGifted, ValuedCustomer, Invested, Piper, Chronicler, WebMaster, etc...

ETA: Name localization by region, and random name lists (this'll probably be moddable)

ETA: Found a bunch of stuff relating to the censor blur, it almost looks like it's just easily tunable rather than effects-based. Found lighting stuff as well, should also be very moddable if these values actually change things in-game...
