heaven If you like LGR, he made a good, informative video after E3.

Ugh I clicked disagree - Python looks the pits to my eyes

You forgot about the Great Pizza Texture Kerfuffle of '14

Being French, I translated the Simcookie article for you, to give you a better accuracy of the information :
1. You can class clothes by color, style or even research "by text".
2. New walking type : happy.
3. If a glutton sim eats a hot-dog he'll be unhappy but will be able to eat and to cook a "tournedos".
4.To relax a stressed sim you can make him take a relaxing bath to calm him.
5. You can put pictures on the wall without being in build/buy mode.
6. A happy sim will paint a "happy" picture; the mood of the sims who will watch the picture afterwards will feel happy too.
7. A cause will always have the same effect.
8. Each emotion has its own little music.

I was wondering where that disagree came from so quickly.

Why would a Glutton become unhappy after eating a hot dog? Because he only ate one instead of ten? I could understand a Foodie being displeased with a hot dog, though.

Wow, so I missed...nothing. Except a few videos. And the gallery thing (which I'll likely never use because gallery = TS3 exchange reboot so no thanks). Thanks for the info/link though. Now I don't feel like I need to keep pouring through the hundred or so pages I still have left.

Well, in S3 you could have a garage or parking space, but, seriously, pulling cars (baby carriages, space rocks, plated meals) out of their asses was something people never stopped bitching about. I'd be surprised if S4 had that for that reason. Don't get me wrong; it never bothered me. Wish I could do that in rl.

Already had this in TS3 (because the lack of a comfort motive meant negative fun was used instead). Funnily enough, the cheapest tub was better for this - it was slower at cleaning a Sim but restored negative fun (stress) towards zero just as fast, meaning the bath had more time to restore the fun before hygiene was maxed. Or did a Sim continue to soak in the tub after hygiene was maxed to continue restoring fun? I never pushed my Sims that much.

MissLogicielle, thanks for your translation! So gourmand is actually someone who likes to eat a lot of food, no matter the quality? (Or is that glouton?) Or is it someone who loves high-quality food?

EDIT: DrChillgood, I think they stay in the tub long enough to max out fun when you tell them to take a bubble bath, but not a normal bath.

3 generations of Sims have had stuffed butts, and they always will. It's here to stay

Yeah it's like that here as well but still, people aren't born owning one, they don't all have the same model and there IS the option to turn them off. Though you'd be surprised how many people told me about dropping theirs in the toilet, apparently there are some in real life as well who need to be surgically separated from their smartphone

Couldn't they set the nightclub limit as 20 or whatever? Also the sims in the club I'm hoping will come from other 'neighborhoods', not just the 'neighborhood' where your active lot is.

It makes modding institutions harder if the sims have phones on them. Usually people can't just keep their mobile in prison.

heaven All those endless pages you missed are only filled with frustration and despair. Seriously we still haven't seen any non-scripted game play or footage on how the new world works. So far just CAS, some sims fumbling around and little bit of quick build mode footage. And a whole lot of marketing buzzwords.
So it's 77 days until release and we haven't seen the game in action yet...

I don't claim to be entirely accurate as a lot of this is going from memory but... There's a confirmed US release date for September 2nd, September 4th for Europe. Worlds will be comprised of 25 lots in total, split between five districts. There will be loading screens between districts and between lots which aren't public spaces. One of the districts in Willow Creek (the world) will be a very large park, but that is editable. There will be a gallery in-game to host CC but not mods, if Sims are downloaded through it they will join the active family. Aging will be optional and you will now have an option to prevent story progression on families you have played, so that only unplayed households would change, but that being said, aging, when selected, will happen across the board, so families in another district would grow too. It's been shown that in some cases, Sims can die from certain emotions, such as laughing. We saw in the E3 demo (I don't know how much you've seen, sorry if this is overkill) a Sim partying, having too much fun and laughing himself to death. Oh, and there will be two different types of cooking skill, home cooking and gourmet, they will be two separate skills and will cater to different needs.

But if you open all the lots in the hood there will be more than 20 sims active, so the game won't be able to bring any more in. The model relies on keeping many of the sims in the hood not loaded in order to get enough of the right sort of sims active for the type of event you are playing.

Thank you! :lovestruc

I follow the 'disaster' my self to. I bought the game together with 3 friends and yes the first day was a disaster, yes there were a lot problems with the servers and yes it was a apocalyps. On the bright side you could acces most of the server after 2/3 days. And the server problems were solved after the week. I was talking about the server NOT the game itself. Thats a whole different story. Played the game over 80 hours in the first week though :P.

I once had two desert island castaways, and somehow they were still in service range... :/

Yhea and Mario is also a casual game in those descriptions. The problem with the term casual are the people who think it stands for 'cheap, useless apps aka Candy Crush'. Casual is a game genre and has nothing to do with the cost and the commitment it takes to play the game. Casual only means it is accessible to many players and yes, the Sims is accessible to many players. It only depends on the way you play it. The same story for Mario. You could play it with your whole family or go the die hard way. It depends on your game style. Beside the Sims doesn't have any learning curve.. You just hop in and play. I don't see the term 'casual' as anything negative. Only as something 'different'.
The Sims is different and refreshing from all the other games which makes it unique in my eyes. But I wouldn't label a game with only one genre. As example Mario is a casual action adventure game. Same for Sims which is a life simulator and at the same time a time manager and strategy game.

Hi heaven, and anyone else in this sticky situation. I went all the way back to page 480 to rekindle my mind in order to give you an accurate, in-depth summary.
WARNING VERY BIG POST:

Oh dear, I was having so much fun with this puzzle game. Most fun I've had in ages, trying to guess how this whole thing works. Myself I was working on the theory that loading screens work via rabbit hole's in magic world, via Simhara desert.


Not sure if you missed the part about taking Sims taking pictures, to create memories that they can reminisce over. There is also two types of cooking this time, homestyle and restaurant gourmet. Also, now all pregnant women can wear fashionable clothes, because they can wear anything and not just maternity. Story progression also has had a big upgrade, it can cater for Sims 3 and rotational Sims 2 play at the same time. Still wondering about genetics, right now it doesn't look like a Sims 2 upgrade.

I like this game, I'm celebrating...

I don't want to have to control all 5 families at one time. You have your active lot that has Sims that you can control and you can use all the stuff anywhere in that hood but if you want to visit your neighbors then you must go through the load of that house and if you want to control new Sims then you must make active there lot.

I'm not totally fluent in English and I still have a lack of vocabulary but I think you might be right: it could be a high-quality food lover trait.



You're welcome !
