>The open world felt empty as fuck because I'd go somewhere and nobody would even be there until about an hour or so after I showed up.
What i hate with the Open World implemention of EA is that without mods the town gets populated with shit-ton of needless townies in both 3 and 4 that dont live anywhere with their only point being to populate the world a bit but fuck man i want to see my neighbours and such not some homeless potatofaced hobos!

Also in 3 the sheer amount of community lots like 3 or was it 4 bars and in every night only 1 of them is populated because it's the "hotspot" that night so best thing would just be to delete everything but one and then there's the rabbit holes...

I'm not saying the holes are a bad thing for shits like careers etc but fuck it shouldnt have been a problem to make SMALLER versions of all existing holes so you could actually build small village or such shit without going the rabbit hole rug or holes in the basement route for them.

Also no Cast for them either so no way to make your poo poo pee pee business tower look old and rusty or pink Katy Perry's abomination.

Well they have to earn money somehow. Do you have adblock? I recommend uBlock Origin, that's the cool new adblock everyone is using.
Other than malicious ads, what they upload should be safe though I can't say for sure as I haven't tried it myself. Alternatively, you can try games4theworld, look it up on googles.
Games4theworld uploads are safe, that much I can confirm.

I don't remember anymore, I'll have to search their forums, but Sims 4 torrent could just be the edition you already have.
Get Together is the one that should contain everything released up to that point. If not, you'll also need Get To Work torrent.

Citation needed, but if Get Together torrent is around 2GB then it doesn't include everything. If it does, it will probably be around 5.

Your torrent program should list all the files being downloaded and SP01, EP01, GP01 etc are stuff packs, expansion packs, and game packs. You just need to count them to see what's missing.

>>146882764
>>146882836
Hmm, it's 3.7GB, my memory doesn't serve me well. And it's all in one .rar so I can't see what it includes.
Just download both Get Together and Get To Work torrents, then we'll see.

>>146885292
They're hardcoded into the game. I saw one mod and only for scientists that allowed you to do the cool stuff without being in the career, and it caused problems of its own.
It's impossible to change paths, even with MCCC, so you become locked out of certain things entirely with progression.

So which traits are the best/worst and which Aspirations are the best/worst in Sims 4?

>>146882324
well.. is there a mod?
>>
>>146887273
All traits are shit because they took out the 'good' ones
>>
>>146887273
When it comes to behavior, it's all the same because of emotions.
Just pick the ones that would make it easier to fulfill whichever goals you have in mind. I don't think any of them are that bad.
>>
>>146887273
Most of the traits in CaS are just absolutely terrible. Mood ones don't pop up enough, music lover etc are pretty lame.
The money aspirations and the one that gives no jealousy are okay.
>>
>>146887273
All trash.
The only "good" ones are Perfectionist, Slob, Loner, all the others do literally nothing.

Stick to 4, wait for more expansions and hope for the best.

There are no graphic enhance mods for 3. Although its game play surpasses 4, if you can't stand outdated graphics there's nothing you can do. It comes down to personal preference with visuals in games.

Performance issues on the other hand a few mods can help improving its stability. Its always going to run like shit, there's no going around it. I've played it so long i've gotten used to it.

Graphic wise 3 isnt horrible. mostly sims being tad uncanny which is why it's best to play worlds with low population and populate it yourself.

As for performance, relatively small world and fiddling with Nraas.
You really dont need to have population limit of 150, even low as 30 will suffice and wild animals? Fuck them and same with most service sims, like who ever calls for a repairman?

And obviously dont install it all you mongoloid, atleast you can skip most stuffpacks and Showtime for adding absolutely nothing of value.

Also:

I'm sorry anon. It was the wife, husband, son and the wife's sister.

The wife was a milf with a perfect milf body and a spy, her husband was a geek who wrote sci fi stories and the son did what sons do and the wife's sister was as shut in as I could make her with her being a teen, though I should have just aged her up.

I planned to kill the husband off because 'enemy spies' got to him when she wasn't home to protect him. Ya know, the usual.


What I miss about 3 was making a sinister asian woman who actually stayed sinister.
>>
That hospital problem fixed itself out. Seems that even though I set my sim's stage as in labor the game wasn't letting them and decided on its own when to deliver
>>
Aw man fuck EA. They could have done so much more with TS4 whilst still greatly improving performance compared to TS3.
The fact that I can't even add new lots is fucking disgusting. They could still instance different sections of the town, and allow the game world to work like TS3's.
>>
>>146906520
I'm not mad at them for the open world as much as I'm mad at them for not doing anything about the problem of sims making money too quickly and too easily. They should have added some sort of gentrification system or made the minimum wage for certain jobs lower than previous games

I'm about to dive back into Sims 2. Just one thing, is there any way to fix the performance problems? I'm traveling, so I have to play it on my half-decent laptops, but the game stuttered and was slow the last time I tried to play it. It's not a powerful laptop by any means, but it should be able to run the game with no problems.

I've already got it set up to only run on 1 core, any other tips?

>>146951169
I remember it running like shit on my Athlon II X2 250 and 2GB RAM. Not just performance, but it also crashed once I traveled because Sims 2 has some memory leaks on travel.

What's the logic behind running it only on one core, how will that help you? Seems like it would only make it worse.

It's good in general, but severely overvalued. 99% of the time you're computer is only using 1 core, even if you have a 16 core CPU. This is why speed is so much more important than core count. But people see a CPU has more cores and they think "Oh, 4 cores means 4 times faster!" ... no, it's like 20% faster when you have 5 programs processing information at once. Add another .5ghz to a 1 core CPU and it'd be the same thing for most tasks (including games) that occur at home.

Does this bother anyone else?

You know, if you think it about it, you could predict that EA would want their own folder instead of putting their stuff in the standard "My Games" folder that's been in place for a decade. It just seems so like them. There is like 10 reasons this bothers me and makes me want to smack EA. Mostly it's them saying they don't care about their power users that like to keep their system organized and running clean, and then saying their shit games are too good to be classified with peasant games in the standard meeting spot.

Admittedly, it's a small thing. It just pisses me off as someone who likes to keep my stuff mostly organized.

That's a bit of an overstatement, you've got a lot of processes running at all times and I've never seen only one core getting utilized. Power saving parks some cores in Windows since there's no need to use all of them, but still.
I'm not saying I'm seeing a 100% increase per core, you've brought up a valid point, but if an application was made to use two threads, it will have two threads even if you only have one core. The only difference being that they won't actually execute in parallel so I can't see why would someone see an increase in performance related to Sims 2 bit when from my understanding it can only be worse. Do correct me if I'm wrong

I want to run a zoo or aquarium and be able to visit them. Mostly aquariums though
Train the animals and have some sims who will try to free the animals and shit.
I'd like little theme parks, too. Not necessarily coaster tycoon level of involvement, but some lazy rivers, tidal pools, a few prebuilt rides, theatre type shows your sims can participate in, food and souvenir stands, etc

More outdoor sports, biking, bowling, gymnastics. Then put in a sim olympics and if they train hard enough and win they'll get medals and large sums of simoleons.

More build tools, and better swatch matching.
>>
>>146968098

I use a lot of pirated stuff, don't get me wrong. But there is a lot of perks. For one, you can play the way it was intended without restricting online content. Two, secure in knowing that if something is broken, it's not just a shit patch job - all your content is 100% verified compatible with all the other content you have. Except custom content, but again, you don't have to go digging for old versions to match your outdated crackjob. Three, updates and patches and keeping everything running smooth. Four, not having to wait months for cracks. Five, knowing your game is working "as intended" and if there is any sort of game corruption or mischief, something has gone terribly wrong and it's not just a bad torrent. Stemming from five is the simple security of knowing you are minimizing your chances of crashes and corrupting 100+hour save games. Plus tech support, but they just treat you like you're retarded and ask you if you plugged in the computer and stuff, so they're pretty useless.

That said, the Sims franchise is really, really one that you should pirate. If you pirate anything, make it the sims. There is no fucking way this piece of shit amateur-coded 15-year-old-dated-graphics unoptimized bug-ridden money-grab piece of shit is worth $300.

>>146968423

I think EA does a great job with the games themselves. I wouldn't change what they make, so much as how they make it.

1.) Much lower prices or much more hashed out expansions - no stuff packs, merge them with expansions. 30+ overpriced DLC is retarded.

2.) Optimize, optimize, optimize! Make the game run like it SHOULD run without gutting all the flavor and soul.

3.) Include hi-def graphics at an Ultra-Quality graphics setting instead of just saying "Oh, no one wants that, so we'll call Ultra-Quality our same old cartoon 2000-era graphics with better shading"

... that's it. Just keep doing what they're doing, only stop half-assing it.

Thinken of creating a small shantyish~ sort of post-apocalyptic village on the coast and a road from there through the desert over the river to some small "area 51" kind of abandoned military barrack thing with some of the more fitting rabbit holes in it.

For the roads, you could use those dirt roads form World Adventures could you not?
>>
>>146992496
Yeah i've fiddled with those mods but the only way i could to completely stop other cars especially taxis from spawning was to disallow use of cars completely which also meant that your sim atleast automatically doesnt use car even if you give her/himimplying anyone plays 3 with shitty Ken-dolls though i think you can still drive your car if you click it and from there use the "go to community lot" option.

And ofc dirt roading it the fuck up though not too much.

If there are ISO files, then mounting virtual image files means you need a program that can mount that virtual image file. It behaves as if you've put in a CD/DVD after that.

If you've got Windows 10, you don't need any third party programs if I'm not mistaken.

But in case you don't, I use this one - http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/
You can get something more popular like Daemon Tools, but they've packed adware in their installations before so I don't really like them.

>Daemon Tools, but they've packed adware in their installations before so I don't really like them.

Yeah, they used to be the shit. I have a version saved (not used) - "DAEMONToolsPro520-0348" (decipher that yourself) that I fished from a torrent that works and isn't loaded with adware, but honestly, I like PowerISO better. Daemon Tools strong point was how damn easy it was to use. You could do everything from the tray icon. The new version all have a full program you have to open just to unmount a damn image. I stopped using them.

Shame really. I don't think I've used Daemon Tools in 5 years and it used to be my program of choice. Never really used PowerISO much, but I do know it's good.

I like WinCDEmu because it's simple, integrates into shell so you can just right click on your file from explorer and mount it that way. And it's free, didn't even have to pirate it.

Alternatively have the pool in the middle of the room instead of putting it on the edge of the room. May need to reduce size.

Pools like these should have one or at most two sides with windows, overdoing it makes it weird.

Thinking of going legit and grabbing a couple of packs to get my game up to date, but I'm looking at about $157 AUD for the lot on a CD key site I found, and $270 if I buy everything direct from Origin (luckily I have the base game though).

Well, it gets worse if your paranoid. I'm sure you know Origin and Steam can disable your account at will. Those thousands of dollars in games you have?

Once the fun was done, you could have your kiddie sex slave follow you around as your companion - on all 4s. They fought like the junk yard dogs. Except yelps and screams instead of barking. The number of things that were wrong with it was staggering.
