Has the game officially launched for U.S. now? Thread viewer count seems low. I guess people are playing it?

Amazon rating holding at two stars.

Do large shrubs and flowers cause issues with routing, or do sims just walk through or around them?

Officially, yes, but physical pre-orders and such are subject to the whole store visit or mail... time... thing. For reference, it's 11:24 AM in Texas right now. Still in the early stages.



Yes, they do block the sims paths but the sims won't gripe about it, they'll find an alternate route.

what are we supposed to do with the flowers? just plant them over and over?

Here's one

oh well, that kinda sucks

i liked yor videos btw, you have a very nice voice and you‘re calm

Thanks, will watch it.

By the way, for anyone keeping score of such things, over at Metacritic.com, Sims 4 is rating 5.8

Honeywell info roundup

Metacritic amuses me to no end. People who like the game give it a 10; people who don't like it give it a 0. So if a game has a rating of 50%, that means half the people like it. This is how it works for every game, not just TS4.

Anyone knowing the testingcheats please? What do I type in?

lol, simcity flashback?

They probably meant it for the movie "IT"... XD

Close, but SimCity 2013 is still rocking a 1.5.

(I've said it already in the last few pages, but I think TS4 overall will go up a bit on Amazon...we'll see.)

Ok fot testing cheats you have to type in"testingCheats" but when I did that I got a message saying "cheats are already disabled" Please help?

I have to agree. Not enough people are playing it to get "real numbers"--this could take a few weeks.
I see on Gamespot there is a patch out already.

Well, I've been sitting on the sidelines for too long now...
You're seeing it from the wrong angle. We're seeing reviewer's let's play to gauge our own opinions about it if it's really worth our money or not. It doesn't matter if they're rating it 9/10. We're not saying that other people's opinions are wrong...
Hope this clears things up...

Standing firm, I made sure that my family knew that I did not want Sims 4 to not have a repeat of Superstar. I can understand the urge to join the pack. The only reason I have been reading is to find something, anything to bring the Sims back to me. For me that is not happening. I think we are at the transition of gaming. Those of us who like Computers games VS the kids who grew up on consoles and are now in young adult age. Time will tell if we are right or they are. The number one thing I keep hearing from those who love it is "its so much like console number x"

I think it will be at least a year before we will know its a hit with those who like this kind of gaming. I know that they have left me in the dust and all I can do is wave good bye. Lol for being so damn gloomy. I blame the heart attack I had last week. Grimmy has his bony hand on my neck that bastard.

Lovcat I love your youtubes. I guess I have to get an account and thumbs you up. Relax, you have not one thing to keep saying sorry for when you like something. You have said from the start that you wanted this game. Have fun! I will look forward to what you put up.

Off to boot Sims 2 with all my fun mods before my walk.

What it looks like when a Sim is gone to work, you can still have them work hard, etc.



Saw a post saying that was removed, it wasn't.

Also, I don't trust those ratings because it's too early and I think they are being padded in the wrong direction. I haven't even formed an opinion on the game yet and won't till a Sim month or longer has passed. I want to give it a chance to see if any long term / hidden bugs pop up first.

So far?

I don't hate it. It's vastly different than what I'm used to playing but the game has potential. If you get it on sale, for sure. I did not pay full price, I got almost $20 off the limited edition and feel that the game is worth that much right now. I also did not encounter any lag, very little glitching, very little clipping, and have yet to see anybody do any autonomous push ups.

The family in the screen above lives in Willow Creek and are called Roomies or something. I like them already, I may keep them around after the great annihilation occurs in a week and I move in my own Sims. One guy walked in on the girl and they both got the embarrassed moodlet, he even hid under the covers. Nobody died. I had them talk about their insecurities and they both got over it and are friends again.

Also as far as the darkness goes? Click on a light/lamp and push the brightness bar all the way over. It looks like it's already all the way over but I noticed a difference when I did it.

The only glitch I found happened at the Rattlesnake Bar. The screen flickered, all the Sims jumped up, and then as they moved around one Sim stepped inside another Sims while a third clipped through them. It only took a second before they fixed themselves though and the game carried on. I have noticed some odd little hiccups that makes me think there may be some issues as the game plays on over time.

It would simply be gloriously megawut beyond comparison! Looking around, I think so many would appreciate a little hard-hitting commentary. Godspeed, o' thee brave one, venturing forth into the strange unknown...

If I'm following correctly as far as which review you wrote on Amazon, I think your review shot to the top of 'most useful critical review' very fast.

Am I late

I was actually surprised at that it is kind of wall of texty - the formatting did not copy over to Amazon from Word properly.

@lovcat or anyone who has the game, what happens if you neglect the children? Will there be a social worker to take them away? I was joking in my last post but that was a real question.

I wonder how long it'll take before you get angry comments from the yibs

Was so bored with the Twitch I was Watching

May have alright shown. But it making me laugh
