FINALLY SOMETHING FROM PREVIOUS GAMES THAT HASNT BEEN SMASHED

Wow... I can't login to the official forums!! The login screen comes up blank every single time today. I've even rebooted my machine just in case the problem was at my end but .. nada. Oh well... I was just going to lurk anyway. And finally got caught up too. On to the comments:



Well said. ~~passes lewisb40 a cup of tea~~

I definitely won't be getting TS4. Like you, it'll have to be at bargain basement prices - probably a year or 2 down the road, if it survives that long, or someone gifts it to me. I loved playing TS2 but I just can't go back to that game at this time. I'm firmly entrenched in TS3 and enjoying it. Yup, I'm not in that demographic either evidently. ~~fires up her TS3 game~~




Forgive me, but I think your optimism is misplaced considering that most of the community is up in arms over a huge loss of certain BASIC things deliberately excluded in a well loved game.

Let's see if I can think on an analogy.... someone bludgeoned you and you're smiling and saying it's all going to be wonderful!!

You're absolutely correct, it's the beginning of a new adventure ... into what I don't know. It's definitely not "Into The Future" since from where this game is now, it's regressed past TS1. So if you know something most of us aren't privy to, do share.

Again, apologies if I've offended you and anyone else that feels this way but I felt that I needed to emotionally express my feelings.





No gameplay footage has been shown anywhere to date. Also, its been confirmed that swimwear isn't in base game and therefore - no swimming in any body of water, as it's also been confirmed that there are not going to be pools in base game so you won't see swimming fins or goggles.

Ok I know they are doing their work and they are people as well , but seriously Grant Rodiek needs to calm down.
I never really liked that guy but his answers are way too rude now...
I'm so tired and fed up with this game already...and I haven't even played it...
I don't like complaining in general but I'm soooo sick...

Graham, just a word of caution here: The Hyenas have turned rabid!

( And I'm one of them, BTW...)

or blame it to piracy

I'm sure they are already working on the first EP and it better include toddlers, pools, seasons, pets, Uni, and 5 new worlds. That would make up for the dismal base game.

FINALLY GOT ABLE TO GRAHAM CONFIRM:
- Water Reflections are actually real and not one "faked shiny effect".

Also, Window Reflections:
- Windows have more basic reflections since you're looking through them.

They should be fired, and then left out in the desert without water... or a toilet.
Was that too much?


I absolutely love that film - and that scene, lolol "With a bunch of scraps!!" I went around quoting that one line for days ....I'm so stupid sometimes

You can also just avoid the bank altogether if you have a smart phone. My bank has an app, and I can deposit my check by just entering the amount of the check and taking a picture of the front and back. It's deposited almost immediately. You can also deposit checks online if you have a scanner.

On topic: I was gone all day yesterday and when I first got home I refreshed the page on the old thread to see there were only 4 more pages I hadn't read. Then I discovered this thread I don't know what EA is thinking. If anything, they should've cut out the infant stage and kept the toddler stage. Are they that lazy? They keep saying everything would be too difficult and complicated to include in the game - car animations, toddlers, pools, etc. - but these are all things that were in the previous games! It's their JOB to develop these things. You can't just not do your job because it's too hard. If I went to work and said, "Sorry, I don't want to do that," I would be fired.

Graham et al. are probably just relieved they're getting questions that aren't about toddlers, teenager height, or pools.

So that was posted by Graham? i'm not very familiar with twitter

Also about Window Transparency:

@mauzao9 Not sure what settings they were using. I'm looking at the game right now; windows stay fully transparent even when a good distance away from the lot.

Damn good film, damn good quote.

Makes me think so much of the new norm at The Sims Studio.

Hmm, really? I don't see much reflections or transparency:

But here you see transparency:

You can have the best of both of them with my Old Town hood from Sims 1 for Sims 2. http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=522506

I was going to do this with Sims 4 but not now I not even going to buy 4 now.

I'm sorry if I offend someone now.
But i'm tired of alot of the fansites sucking EA dick.

But it was decreased...

"Windows stay fully transparent even when a good distance away from the lot"....

Yes. I asked him and he answered me.

They'll be like: Oh, it was just a little missunderstanding!

I downloaded that the other day and it's absolutely fantastic. Even more fantastic when you download the version with all the original families.

They filled the swimming pool and put plants in!

Unfortunately, I can't go back to Sims 2 because I love the open world/aging/story progression (NRAAS, not EA) too much. But I will keep playing Sims 3. And I am excited to see its future now that the modders can really have fun with it.

I have that feeling i asked Graham now, if the lots we don't see Transparency on its Windows are the lots that require loading to visit? It may make sense since we see some with real reflection and transparency, and others really opaque.
