Still not enough people know this. If you press F10 in The Sims 3, it hides the whole UI. That means no pause frame, Sim icons, interactions, notifications etc. As a screenshot it looks just like when you use the C button, but it's most useful for video! Can be combined with Tab!
Still annoyed by how people joke about "removing the ladder" in The Sims, when this hasn't been working for the MAJORITY of this game's development. In TS3 and TS4 Sims don't care about the ladder, they will get out of the pool anyway. It stopped being relevant back in 2009.
OK, so far I think infants with
#GrowingTogether
are overpowered. They have so much to do with the milestones that you need like 3 sim-weeks to get it done. Nothing else in The Sims 4 is that detailed and it creates an imbalance. Anyone agree?
Sims in 2016: oh cool I can be a male with feminine frame that pees sitting down and can get pregnant
Conservative media in 2023: tHe sImS aDdS tRaNsGeNdEr
The Polish version of this notification is: "I'd rather kill myself with a slipper than go out on a date with you again!"
Poland is even more unhinged than The Sims 2 π«
In the next life simulation game (whether it's The Sims or not), we need more than 2 sizes of dogs. It's ridiculous how a border collie is the size of a great dane and a shiba inu is comparable with a chihuahua. Come on!
The Sims 1: this game is so sad
The Sims 2: ohmygod I love this game
The Sims 3: this game is bizarre sometimes but I like it anyway
The Sims 4: *rage quit*
Is EA ever going to fix the hilariously broken foxes from Cottage Living? I mean, this pack was released like 9 months ago. Or are they supposed to make us spill our drink? :D
So they changed the length of teenage lifespan in TS4 and didn't even announce it, so people thought it was part of the aging glitch XD
The teenage stage is now 21 days for normal lifespan.
As if it wasn't too long when it was 13 days lol
I finally managed to have

I made a pretty Sim, moved her into a decent starter house that I renovated a little... And then got bored. Huh.
It's been 9 years since The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection giveaway and 5 since they stopped adding it to accounts via EA Help chat. At this point there are people who don't know this was even a thing. Can you imagine?
In the Polish version of The Sims 4 most names stay original, but Jeb Harris has been changed to Jerry Harris because "Jeb" is a curse word for us (said as "Yeb"). Let's say it's something like "fuck", but Polish has a lot more variety in swearing, so it's hard to translate π

So you're telling me that Cindy is being canceled because of a SOLVED thing that happened like 3 years ago? Man, cancel culture really has to stop.
A famous Polish youtuber/podcaster that I really liked and admired turned out to have had a relationship with a 16yo when he was 25, and was violent, controlling, gaslighting and despotic towards her, even spat on her when he was drunk.
I'm not a fan of custom UIs for any Sims game, but I just got a gray one for The Sims 3 and I actually kinda love it :O
I like the original blue in TS2, but in TS3 it's kinda aggressive, so I might keep the gray one. I also love that it's just one package file, no complications!
Don't even try to think I know everything about The Sims 2. Ever. Don't even dare. I literally learned TODAY that there is bug collecting in this game, and that there are different types of butterflies etc. TO-DAY.
Literally the first time I complain that something is TOO realistic π« But it can really get overwhelming and often people will just skip most of this lifestage.
The new Neighborhood Stories in
#TheSims4
added marriage polygamy to the game! I just got a comment that someone's Sim had 3 wives due to those pop-ups :D
bitches show up in wedding dresses all the time in my rotational Sims 2 gameplays because I never remember to change their formal outfit after their own wedding lmao
- too many objects, too little gameplay
- no personality whatsoever (there are like 2 traits that take it to extremes where it becomes too much, but most others do nearly nothing)
- Sims are all over the place with forgetting queue, constantly trying to socialize etc.
Reasons why it's hard FOR ME to get into Sims 4 right now:
- every update is unpredictable and brings some random bugs
- base game worlds are cruelly outdated, small, and boring
- inconsistent gameplay designs
- no inspiring short-term goals due to the lackluster Wants system
The current government pissed off Polish people so much for the past 8 years that at yesterday's election the attendance was higher than at the famous 1989 election that lead to fall of communism. We're making history again β€οΈ
People complain about TS4 not having enough black hair and here I am, playing TS3 and having one (1) hairstyle available for my Sim with afro-textured hair lol
People who had the idea for this social menu have never EVER played The Sims in their life.
And if I hear once again you can change it in the settings, I'll blow up. The "Traditional Social Menu" option has been there since 2014 and it does something completely different.
I've been playing my save file for about 6 hours and my infant doesn't even crawl yet... but he can already sit, so he moves by skipping on his knees as if his spine is made of steel lmao
Haven't gotten even close to other features of the pack
And this is a guy that was always the moral voice, pointing out shitty things other people were doing. He firmly criticized racism, intolerance and misogyny and treating others poorly.
I'm afraid of liking someone on the internet now.
I was today years old when I found out that in The Sims 2 children can be taken away because of low social need as well... not just hunger!
AND I ALREADY MADE AN ADOPTION TRIVIA VIDEO NOOOOOO
In case someone still needs that, I made a video a while ago about how to capture The Sims 3 in normal colors. Just disable fullscreen, it's that easy. You can use Smooth Patch or Borderless Gaming to get it to borderless and not see any difference.
English words I learned from The Sims:
absent-minded
bladder
clumsy
couch potato
easel
grouchy
mooch
neat
noogie
pastry
recliner
schmooze
shindig
smooch
social butterfly
tinker
whinny

So I'll put it out there too that I'm all LGBTQIA+ supportive, all the letters. It's basic human decency.
If I ever say something stupid or unnecessarily follow a stereotype, let me know. One doesn't have to know everything, but learning and having an open mind is important!
I don't mind My First Pet requiring Cats & Dogs to unlock all items. My real problem with this pack is awful terrariums, completely unsuitable for small pets. Made of plastic? Holes in the floor? Are you serious?
But dog houses are evil, right? Wheels for guinea pigs aren't?
18 as the age of consent in the US doesn't seem that high when I see all the grooming-enabling PoLiSh MeN who think a 15-year-old (age of consent in PL) is a "grown woman". No one says that about boys that age, even though they can be grooming victims too.
Oh yeah, it's The Sims' birthday today! It's 23 years old, damn. Who wasn't alive yet when it came out?
I was 7 π Actually 8 if you only count the years.
People wonder if Paralives or Life By You or InZOI will destroy The Sims, when there are four different installments of The Sims itself and we play them all according to our preferences.
All of those games can just exist at the same time.
I saw this a few times: someone doesn't know they can have more than one saved game in The Sims 4. I get that it's mostly kids, but it's still surprising and makes me think that the Main Menu is not very intuitive if it's not obvious to everyone.
I'm also weirdly, introspectively afraid for myself because I'm a little bit of a public figure π« I know I probably won't do anything that bad but I have little trust in myself lol
lmao bold of you to assume we could afford a huge doll house
I just played The Sims 1 as a child π (couldn't afford that either but unlike games you can't pirate a doll house)
