#sims 5

[brandinotbroke]

actually let me add to this whole "sims 5 is going to be free" (+ microtransactions) because it is particularly disgusting with their recent history: Their rebranding is specifically and increasingly trying to appeal to children.

The way they dressed their presenter during the stream was specifically done to seem more relatable to children.

The way they already dumbed down Sims 4 is to specifically appeal to children. They even lowered the age rating.

Making Sims 5 free will make it incredibly easy for kids to get the base game (especially if it comes out on mobile) and once they have access to it, they'll pester their parents to buy microtransaction bullshit.

I am not usually one who goes for "omg they are targeting your children"-hysteria, but this one is so on the nose, it's really astonishing. They should be ashamed.

simmers don’t want TS5, simmers legit just want 64-bit TS2.

The Sims 5 came out… but you have to play a game of Fortnite so you could unlock it with 500 pieces of gold… or you could just buy a loot box.

Mmm yes, a normal Tuesday afternoon in October- *Sims 5 is announced as a work in progress* *Rick Riordan announces a new Percy Jackson and the Olympians book* *Markiplier OnlyFans* *Harrison Ford joining the MCU* *Technoblade trending on twitter*

…or not.

WHY ARE SIMMERS HAPPY with the game ANYWAY?

Game breaking patches that mess up all custom content, a game so bad and expensive that it cannot ever be played in it's full official form, by which I mean with all the DLCs (without the selfless help of comrade modders who have enabled so many of us to get all the official DLCs for free and add basic features through script files that EA would never give us even after a decade of begging), or the EA executives' outrageous, unabashed, decision making "Project Rene" a "free-to-play" cross-platform (ew) nightmare — something no committed simmer ever asked for.

A base game that has not ever been properly updated for ten years, with the same old restrictions of not even being able to change a sim's height, or draw a fence on the edge of a lot, the infuriating 4 floor limit, the inability to precisely resize or modify objects without mods, no colour-wheel, empty worlds full of shell buildings, the endless examples of sims who cannot even get done with the most basic things like cooking and having a meal, no memory system for sims, or even a set of in-game photography tools. And yet rather than a promising, customizable new game (or even reviving old features like Create a Style), we get one hundredth DLC or so which adds nothing to gameplay. And the damned "Project Rene."

In these ten years, I am sure that these life-simulation genre monopolists have had plenty of opportunities of retiring the Sims 4 honourably. Now that apartments are done, I think it is a good time to let the game be, fix all the bugs, and leave the game alone. But that is never happening. By 2035, we are getting the 457th DLC, "my first lemonade stand stuff pack" and five hundred streamers would get together to sing in its honour, of how it "adds" to the gameplay! Every DLC is like a rushed assignment which does not even bother to check for grammar and spellings. I am sure by then we would have twelve new worlds too, with not more than 5 lots each, each lot placed so far away from each other that it is not even possible to create any kind of builds or neighbourhoods that are not American suburbs. In the "For Rent" EP, why were we not given many large 64×64 lots? They just want to sell DLC after DLC without giving any deep thought to changing the basics of the game in a DLC (even within the limitations placed by the structure of the terrible base game, like the lack of an open world) and experiment with something new like large lots with vibrant sim neighbourhoods placed close together. Because the executives do not care. They are not artists. And those who actually are artists, coders and animators in the sims team, I believe, do not get any substantial democratic say in how the decisions regarding the future of the game are made inside EA board rooms.

On a burnt pizza base, EA gave us a ton of cheese and seasoning as DLC, hoping that it covers up for the terrible taste of the base. And the sheer number of Sims streamers – "influencers" – that cannot just shut up about the virtues of the game or sell it to us, without having any serious discussions about how gaming has been ruined with DLC and subscription model of capitalism in the last decade (except a few like LGR; do check them out).

Whatever is good about the Sims, for example its art and vibes, it is good in spite of EA's corporate model, where the work and contribution of its artists, coders and animators peeks out against the limited, ignorant imagination of its executives and shareholders (who I doubt even play the game). And perhaps for this alone that the game is still loved. The executives should just STOP planning all further updates, so the workers who design and code the game can focus entirely on fixing all the remaining bugs, so that finally, the game can rest in peace, and custom content makers too can make good mods that last long without them needed to be updated as fast as the back-breaking corporate game factory schedule of EA, which churns out one unmemorable DLC after another.

But why would they change?

And why are we happy with the game, anyway?

as soon as they announced the sims 5 was gonna be free i knew this shit is gonna flop and be overpriced mini pack garbage

u know they are definitely gonna have a shop like they did in ts3 where u buy individual items and are not going to support mods at all so they can make an extra buck

The Sims 4: New Game Patch (December 14th, 2023)

One week after the release of The Sims 4 For Rent, EA/Maxis sent out a patch to fix a few bugs from the expansion pack.

If you have auto updates enabled in Origin’s “Application Settings”, the game will auto-update once you open Origin. If you have auto-updates disabled, you will need to manually update by clicking the game in your library. Advertisement

To ensure your game is up to date, check the game version found in Documents > EA > The Sims 4 > GameVersion.txt. Your game should now read: PC: 1.103.315.1020 / Mac: 1.103.315.1220. Console: 1.85.

Hey fam,

Finicky flaws? Fear not for there’s a few fearsome fixes for faulty functionality fresh from your faithful friends at Maxis. Bugs? We fixed four for For Rent! Facts. Please forgive.

Fancy the Festivities and Fare thee Well

For Rent

Mellowing out Build Mode: Drawing, deleting, and auto-filling wallpaper in Residential Rentals will stop causing Build Mode slowdown.

Mellowing out Evil Landlords:Taka Soi premade lot rents won’t get into the Billions and force you to stay. Let’s keep it civil. Any incorrect price UI in existing saves should quickly update to normal by the next bills cycle.

Mellowing out water usage: Sims will no longer obsessively excessively autonomously shower when hygiene is not low. Like, you’re clean already, Sim. Stop.

FreeRealEstate On cheat will now turn on again: Cheaters can happily mellow out once more.

It's so funny how online journalists are trying to sell us bad news as good news. How exactly is Sims 5 being "free to enter" good news? It's the worst thing I've heard about it so far. Directly followed by the other "good news for simmers" - Sims 5 being available cross-platform.

So it won't only be "freemium" micro-transaction bullshit, no, it will also have such bad graphics, so it can be played on a smartphone.

No thank you. I'll skip this one.

Apparently a sims 5 preview came out and it looks like an imitation of Paralives?

Left is Paralives. Right is the Project Rene preview

They aren't exactly the same but it's weirdly close. Especially considering what the sims 4 looks like.
