Ah, okay. See, you’ll always learn new things about the game.

Really? I couldn’t see ANY difference! *loads up game*

moudschegiebchn said: What do you mean? The one to change the neighborhood terrain?

No, I mean the thing you can access in buildmode apart from the terrain flattening, raise/lower terrain and build pond thingy… Atleast in my game, there isn’t happening too much.

More progress! Far left ist the old Boatshouse, build by a german chef (hence the redundant ’s’). To its right are the Uptown shopping buildings, which are connected by a small park where art from local artists can be displayed. Down by the docks are 6 little shacks which and a small super market. The big yellow building is an apartment building for Sims who want to trade their life by the foot of the hills for one down by the sea (I imagine the suburb district by the foot of the hills). I changed two of the residential lots to a church and a graveyard for the religious sims.

The Cop: He hated his job. Especially on days like this. Before the victim, a young girl, badly injured, was taken to hospital, he caught a glimpse of her face and under the bruises and blood, he saw a girl, barely older than his daughter. His heart sank. They would get them. All of them.

Smh

Pardon? From the non-existing contest I guess it’s about my “I’m not gonna buy the Sims 4 because” and a short google search told me that that acronym stands for “shaking my head”(?) but I can’t really make out what you’re trying to say. If you feel in any way offended, that was definitly not my intention, I was only expressed my own subjective opinion and I tried to depict it in a polite way- but I clearly tagged it ts4 negativity so…

That is not meant to be hate- or spiteful in any way, I just couldn’t put it into context.

If you are one of the trolls scanning the ts4 tag for “hate”, Hi there, Mr. (or Mrs.) Troll. Nice to meet you!

(I’m sorry that you probably read through a wall o text, but for obvious reasons I couldn’t answer this privatly)

I just read a loooong article about The Sims 4, and I have to say that there are too few things I like about the way it is. I don’t like the way they apparently put some rpg elements into the aspiration thingy and as a generation player (if I could be bothered to play one family for more than a week), I don’t like the generational aspect of the gameplay. However, I like the way the genetics play out and I really appreciate the effort the developers put into making the Sims 4 playable for everyone (even if you can disscuss the result, I assume). I am sure that there are many people who like this game and will play it and I wish them much fun exploring the worlds of Sims 4, but I think it will be without me (even if I could be tempted to play the demo- the CAS actually looks fun). So, if you were asking yourself if I will be on board playing Sims 4, I guess that’s the answer… (Semi-rant over :))
