1  TS4: The Pee-ening / Insert Amusing Name Here / Re: Sims 4 is out what's the scoop? on: 2014 September 09, 01:50:06
Can someone just clarify for me, from what I have read, the game isn't an open hood like TS3, but lot based as with TS2?  Some comments and screenshots make it hard to tell.  If it is like TS2, what happens with the time when you return you your home lot, does it return to the time you left like in TS2, or does it continue, and can you switch between multiple lots to attend to multiple family members needs/wants?  From what has been posted, it seems like the hood aging is somewhere between TS2 and TS3, with some aging and some not?

I am still very much undecided on TS4 and these issues would help decide whether to try now, or wait a few months and see what the future brings with the next EP/SP and any patches they might throw out there.
Its TS2 style lot - the street you choose to live on is yours to explore but loading screens if you wanna visit a neighbor.

Time goes by as normal, no timemachining like TS2, and you can switch between members.

From what I've read, townies may not age.

I'd wait for EPs and price drops, honestly.

I avoided installing Origin FOREVER, and finally relented to install this game.  Origin's first action?  Completely gutting my TS3 installation.

I've seen this reported elsewhere, too. I have a theory. I think Origin only senses TS3/TSM installations if you try to launch the games. I am basing this on my brief stint (hour and a half) with the CAS Demo--during which I didn't launch TS3 or TSM. After I uninstalled Origin and the Demo, I launched TS3 and TSM with no problems.
I don't think this is it - I've had origin installed for a good minute and launching my TS3 hasn't messed it up in any way. It installed in it's default location so I'm sure it knows where to find it.

Focused
(+1) Chess table -> ponder chess moves
(+1) Computer -> web -> browse simpedia
(+1) Telescope -> stargaze

Inspired
(+1) computer -> web -> browse art

Confidence
(+1) mirror -> psych self up

Flirty
(+1) mirror -> freshen up

Also, watching the relevant TV channels give +1 to the corresponding emotions
To add to Focused - Reading a book, and sometimes doing homework.

Mirror >  Try on Outfits For Flirty.

Am I the only one that wants the repo man back my sims can't afford these out outrageously high bills. I understand its more real to life but I am about not to care if the water and power get shut off. They don't make enough in the jobs to afford to live anywhere apparently

Apparently the idea is that you need to go out and collect stuff to sell in order to be able to save up funds to move. I managed, but it took three weeks before my sim couple was earning enough dough to pay the rent and start getting better stuff. Some adjustment may indeed be viable.

...

Really? Is this what adults do? Do all the 30+ year olds I know actually leave at night in their busy schedules to go collect rocks and frogs? Am I living wrong?

I feel in the middle on bills. Every time they come now, I actually get sad because I know a huge chunk of money is going to be gone. In Sims 1, 2, and 3,  I literally never cared about bills. So, I think it's a step in the right direction.

- Definitely a method to turn off those tutorials. Sometimes they just stop for a good minute then they bombard me again.
- I also don't like how the pregnant sims give birth. Nor do I like how when they go into labor, they can go to sleep. My sim slept through labor. Powerful woman.
- This bothered me in the Sims 2 - when they do CERTAIN THINGS on their own and I direct them to do something else, they completely stop. Washing dishes? They stop, put the plate on the floor. Taking out the trash? Trash pile. But damn, if they're watching TV and I tell them to go pee, they'll just watch the damn television until I cancel it.
- A mod so when you hover it will tell you the age of the sim.
- Normal careers.
- Stop talking so damn much and eat your food. You have work. Seriously, they talk so much it takes them over an hour to eat half the time, unfinished plates everywhere.
