Fun fact:Death's urine puddles are tinted black.
Just downloaded TS4, and started a legacy after fucking around for a bit.
I miss the open world, but at the moment I'm just amazed at how it isn't constantly lagging.
This thread wasn't up all day yesterday, it was awful. Also this was after I went to a friend of my sim's birthday party and used her caterer & cake to age up her kids...
>>147656482
Have you gotten the MC commander? I hated TS4 until I found out it existed last week.
>>147656482
Don't take it too seriously. You'll be bored after playing for about 40 hours, even with all the DLC. The content isn't there, and the mechanics are so playskool that there's no depth or attention to detail to hold your interest. As a legacy, the lack of toddlers and true teens will be especially annoying.
Most people on /tsg/ barely hang in there by making stories. The ones that aren't making stories, are either bitching about TS4, looking for tech support for pirated versions, asking if they should buy TS4, or thoroughly enjoying TS2/TS3 instead. No one is actually playing TS4, only using it as a sandbox to do other things, like tell stories.

I'm enjoying TS4 a bunch with the Apartment run I'm doing right now. I've have 14 sims right now with plans to add more couples and for them to eventually have children.
Cycling through sims whenever their emotions go red is a good bit of fun actually, like whack-a-mole. If you don't ever pause it's good for creating tension for the player and drama for the sims.
It makes playing having the sweet respite of an old guy waking up at 4:00 to do nothing but drink and read a book for a few hours pretty satisfying before shit hits the fan again and I have to remind everyone to use the bathroom.
Plus it allows for more waifus at once without it feeling out of place.
>>147663260
That, and even though there's no open world, I'm going to build the one area of Newcrest up with malls and such so that it becomes it's own little microcosm.
>Sims 4 just crashed and have also been having bugs since I installed Turbo Career
>Think about going back to TS3 for more content but then I remember the worst lag in human history
>Think about TS2 too but no story progression
Welp.
Kind of miss when these threads were very active, even if some people posted nightmare tier sims.
>>147664610
I only get on here every few months when I randomly get back into one of the Sims. This is probably the most dead I've ever seen it...
>>147658582
At the moment, I'm enjoying it, but it's probably just because of the novelty factor.
The interactions feel much better than previous games. In TS3 I had no reason to ever use the negative interactions outside of roleplaying, but here the immediate effect on the sims emotions makes it feel necessary, even if you're playing a 'nice sim'.
So far it seems like the game is just geared towards partying and other social activities, though.
Update on my legacy: The founder has gotten a chad boyfriend, who impregnated her but refuses to marry her.
>>147664610I miss the Norman stories. They what made me pick up the game again last time.
>>147666293
>The founder has gotten a chad boyfriend, who impregnated her but refuses to marry her.
Is she going to get a nerdy beta husband now that she doesn't sleep with while going out "partying" with black guys?
>>147664353
Alright fuck it I decided to play SIms 3 again, but I'm gonna play a smaller empty world and let Nraas populate it. I'm hoping with less sims and less routing issues (??) his SP mod won't be so bad to deal with.
Anyone ever use the Winchester world?
>>147667940
No, he came around eventually.
This random kid just came to their house and watched their marriage.

Why are hairstyles limited and locked?
>>147670131
Never played a legacy before?
>>147671793
Frig could've been put somewhere far if you didn't start out being set on having a room.
>>147672275
It's a habit, since I'm used to having seasons.
>>147670131
post spook warning pls

>w with plans to add more couples and for them to eventually have children.
How the hell do you play 14 sims effectively when the action queue you set up gets erased constantly from stupid shit, like changing emotions or being sucked into the inescapable black hole that is group conversation?
You can disable group conversations with mods, but there is still no fix for the insane amount of queue-dropping. We had one for Sims 3, and one in Awesomemod, but hardly anyone is modding Sims 4 which is extremely evident when you try to make a mod and realize how easy it is. I have about 6 I made and use, like disabling text messages and always eating leftovers before making new food - and these are simple tuning mods. They should be on mod sites. But nope, because no one is doing it.

The problem is people refuse to acknowledge that VGG is basically a collection of subforums. I tried to explain it to normal 4-channers one time, and they didn't understand how a General was any different from a normal thread. And how if there were no posts for 30 minutes, that apparently meant there was no interest and the thread was dead and no one would ever come looking for it.
That is what most people think. So you can't even make a suggestion on the 4chan suggestion forums about having VGGs last longer without a dozen posts saying it's just because no one is interested in the topic if the thread dies.
People don't get it. So it will never get fixed. When Hentai Games is making 15+ threads a day, and The Sims entire franchise keeps getting kicked to death because of it, something is wrong. Both topics should have equal staying power as long as there is interest - like a forum. Which is why they made VGG in the first place.

Oops, meant to green text.

Ffs
Is there any way to make imaginary friends selectable without making them human? are there NRAAS mods that make NPC's selectable?
>>147664610
I recently got back into the sims but idk if ill post here cause people apparently hate me.
>>147682551
Why, what did you do
>>147684504
Id rather not make more drama. But i didn't think it was cool for people i respected to be helping someone make a pregnancy mesh for child sims knowing the person would masturbate to it.
Then others found out about him and caused drama which was blamed on me.
>>147684963
I don't necessarily think they were helping me. I didn't really need any help. It's kind of bad to say that you don't want to start stuff when you're claiming that people were against you and actively helping someone making content you aren't comfortable with even though there was never any instances of them helping me. That right there is playing the victim card.
>>147681253
I haven't bothered updating them, to be honest. TS4 is stale at the moment. I have Dine Out, and tested, and the text message one needs to be updated because there are new tuning files for the restaurant-specific text messages.
The leftovers one still works fine for the base game fridges, but needs updating for Stuff Pack fridges - and I don't own any of those.
Like I said, these are just for personal use, so I don't normally bother sharing because you have to CONSTANTLY update this shit and I don't feel like being obligated to the community.
A copy of the pre-dine-out text message one, and instructions how to make it yourself, can be found in this thread:

Giving you advice. Same deal to me. I saw it with my own eyes and others did too.
The aftermath was not something i had intended, however.
I got told often by friends people were talking shit about me here. Which makes one get the impression they are disliked.
It matters not. I'll just keep my content to myself.
>>147684963
Shrug. It's a life simulator. We pretend to be someone else in it. Anything we do in that world is a victimless crime. I have a mod for adult/teen romance. I've only ever had 1 adult/teen romance then the adult mysteriously died in a fire. But the point is, the option was there. I don't like restrictions.
>>147685972
It just creeps me the fuck out having it displayed around.
Like i said I'd rather not cause drama. So im going to drop it.
>>147686573
Seriously? I mean, seriously? You deliberately brought up the subject. You announced that you were back. You announced that there was drama. You outlined that drama in detail. And then you jump back and say "Oh, but please don't pay attention to me" as if you didn't just kick up a shit ton of dust on purpose in the name of attention whoring.
If you really didn't want to be known, you wouldn't have said a word. The forums are ANONYMOUS. But you know that. And apparently, you don't like being anonymous.
>>147684963
Did you used a trip?
No ones going to know who you are if you stay anonymous, shouldn't be a problemo
>>147688843
It's pretty clear who she is without one
>>147688945
Enlighten me friendo, I was out for a few months.

That person trying to bury the hatchet while stirring shit up is Ree. That's what they're mainly known as.

Fuckin genetics. How do they work
>>147664353
>Think about TS2 too but no story progression
Story progression is the worst thing about TS3 and 4.
It spawns babies without parents, prioritizes deleting your own Sims over randomly-generated ones, makes everybody fat, changes your Sim's careers on a near-daily basis, and constantly creates new romantic interests for your happily married Sims.
I've never seen story progression do anything that enhanced by enjoyment of the game even a tiny bit.
