Sooo, Does Anyone Play This Game?

[Aggie]

Call me nuts but I actually really like The Sims 4, especially now that they have a certain non-existent lifestage and blood suckers. Does anyone else on here actually play it and is willing to admit it?

[RogueSkinner]

I play it.  but no where near as much as I did 3.  in fact, I still find myself firing up 3 more frequently.  but 4 seems to finally be finding a stride

[J. M. Pescado]

Oh, hey, it's Smackable Punbot. Where have you been? I haven't smacked you in awhile.

[Aggie]

Been busy playing other stuff and dealing with family drama. 

Also: I hope I didn't break the site. Not long after I posted this thread I kept getting an error 500 message.

[rmaddzoo]

I also have been getting the 505 error.

The server is running on a potato ATM and tends to seize up at random. THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO SHOW UP SO I CAN SMACK YOU MORE.

[AnarchyBlues]

Hipster shit.

[Sita]

Server running on a potato sounds good, environment-friendly tech! Please share!

Seriously, I'm glad it still works.

Yes, I play. The toddlers were certainly a shock, because they just dropped them without as much as a hint or a leak or anything. They're actually well done, some say even better than the other life stages. I do think people play, they just hang out on other sites because this site is in sleepy mode.

And it only took not-Maxis three years to implement them. I wish that meant we'll be getting CASt and open world eventually, but sadly those features require actual work...

I'm surprised that Pescado isn't interested in playing the cracked version since there are a few murder and mayhem mods out for the game that are rather well done. Some features that I've seen are: drowning in your own pee, embarrass a sim to death, and a Chucky mod that allows the toddler to set things on fire and literally stab a sim to death using an actual knife and results in a bloody stab wound and the immediate death of the victim.

Probably because people don't seem eager to crack it. I haven't tried too hard because frankly, it's just a mobile game that somehow found it's way onto PC instead, but I've yet to find a crack for the latest version (toddlers and vampires). There's also the fact that every update seems to make many script mods unusable.

These sound way cool but still not enough to tempt me to play. I tried; oh how I tried but after 3, I felt the whole cartoony vibe and loading screens to be a massive step back. Do not want.

Have you even TRIED getting an up-to-date version of the game? It's basically impossible.

That's not really my thing. What's MISSING from the game is the opportunity for Sims to generally fight and have utterly dysfunctional relationships like seen in TS2's Awesomeland. No handbag walloping. No Punbot-smacking.

Which seems to be more due to lack of interest than anything else. I'll never understand why companies spend so much on expensive DRM like Denuvo. Best way to protect your game against piracy: make it unappealing AF.

Polygamy seems to be an option. It loses most of it's charm due to the fact that you can max out your relationship with someone in less than half a day though (right from the start, no OP charisma skill or anything like in The Sims 3).

Point taken.

Eh, I can see that. It does have a few mean interactions that may be appealing (tranquilizing handshake for one), but not a heck of a lot, admittedly. Have not yet had the chutzpah to play a sim that Hates Kids and have them Crush Toddler's Dreams yet, though.

I tried to do that with my own kid, but it is too much like its parents and is as cynical as we are. How the hell do you crush the dreams of a kid that wants to be a tax attorney?

Ahh, so you *do* have a kid by now. Congrats!

Show up so I can smack you. Plus La Butt needs a nemesis, she has turned into a crapsack.

[nectere]

I play it, although I usually spend more time building than "playing".

[Tigerlilley]

I downloaded the CAS demo and am super close to getting the game. I'm still.... not entirely convinced though.

What do you need to convince you not to buy this terrible game?

Haha well... I got the trial too! No burglars, no firefighters, no cars? No newspaper for a job you just... Choose a career. No significant memories or anything... It's so basic,  holy shit. Re-downloaded sims2.

[witch]

G'day Tiger! I played TS4 for an hour or so once. It's a mobile game for your phone. I still play TS3.
ETA: Tsen wants to know if there is not enough squid for you.

And g'day Aggie!

[Tigerlilley]

There is indeed a lack of squid.

Also hello!

Dude, I tried TS3 but can't get past the pudding people. The open world thing is nice but its not a seller for me.

Someone who isn't EA needs to remake this game.
