29. You should install arch btw

i was scrolling and thought this image was some kind of joke for halloween. it looks like a witch cursed the furniture so it's slowly turning into literal food. crazy that a modder expects you to pay for this.

Re: 003

[(Anonymous)]

I almost fell for it tbh. Though I did not care about downloading from this user since cutesy-bubblegum-strawberry-pretty-in-pink style isn't my vibe. Gotta train my eyes more on differentiating AI from the real thing.
Oh, and is this the sign we're entering the AI era of the sims? Heard EA's gonna push it in the near future. Geez 🥴

This is SIM secret, not PARALIVES secret. This is not sims related!!!

Re: 30

bitch it literally mentions ea (so the sims) in it?

2. I don't think there's going to be a significant dip in sales/profits of the game. Like you said, the majority of players aren't chronically online, and/or don't care and will continue to buy and play.
6. Same, this is why I don't do mobile games, or at least don't pay for any of them. It's so frustrating that companies keep releasing games that require an internet connection so they can make sure you can lose access to it at any point.....
13. Someone could make a lot of money if they made a Twilight videogame, with the whole Twilight renaissance going on right now.
15. Same. I hope they're ok too.
16. That's pretty true at this point.
18. Idk, I wonder this too.
25. Horrifying
27. I think the snow is another victim of the scaled-back graphics/system requirements in TS4.

[(Anonymous)]

About 2: Being aware whats happening to a franchise you've invested time and money in is not being "chronically online." Just like people choose to not care about what their money supports, some people do. I see a lot of people claiming to not care while simultaneously bringing it up unprompted

[(Anonymous)]

005. Same lmao

[(Anonymous)]

reminder that satch is fat and ugly and malcom cute and fit

[(Anonymous)]

both still look like rats wdym

Summarized.

[summary_anon]

1. "New Sims 4 challenge: 'Whole Block Lookin' Like You' Challenge
Based off of Taylor Swift's song Wi$h Li$t
Base challenge: Have a couple who have two children, and one of the Sims in the couple impregnates every impregnatable base game Sim, without the other Sim in the couple finding out
Hard mode: Use mods/edit Sims in CAS and impregnate the Sims who aren't able to become pregnant, like male Sims and elders
Extreme: Do the above while having the Taylor Sim pump out as many kids as possible 100 baby style"
2. "Any attempt to boycott EA over the buyout will fail. The majority of gamers simply don't care and want to play their favourite game. Even within the TS4 player base, those that are actively engaged in communities on simblr, X and reddit are the minority. Most players just play the game and don't care about politics. The Patreon boycott failed, the CurseForge boycott failed and Hogwarts Legacy sold 30 million copies."
3. [Cupcake Bakery items by plaidsimmer]: "Charging 4$ for this? Nice artifacts... did your ai model make it for you?
Of course she turned off comments after the slightest bit of criticism... LMAO"
4. "Party never ends with my imaginary friends!"
5. "I lost summers as a teen to Sims 3 - like genuinely my friends thought I went on holiday! I would see them and they would ask where I had been as I hadn't text - wasn't even embarrassed 🙃"
6. [The Sims Mobile shutdown]: "This is why I care about game ownership and preservation. Live service games can shut down at any moment and you lose everything you paid for. It's legal robbery."
7. "Back in the Sims 2 days I entered a contest they had and I won a signed copy of The Sims 2: FreeTime. Unfortunately I had to open it because I didn't have the expansion pack yet lol 😅"
8. "sims mobile shutdown? wtf"
9. "I've been reinstalling the fitgirl repack of sims 4 for 3 hours now and I'm still 30% done"
10. [The Sims Mobile shutdown]: "LMAO"
11. [Dustin and Skip Broke NSFW]: "Now that the chains of lore, the timeline, and logic have been broken, Skip Broke can finally experiment with Dustin Broke. Thank you so much, EA, and thank you so much, Maxis, for making this moment possible.
(Skip Broke has noticed that Dustin has been eating high-calorie food and overindulging in weight of the world ice cream, but it doesn't matter, Skip's fitness skill was high enough to be able to carry all that fat without being crushed)"
12. "I enjoy leaving houses a big nasty mess and watching the maid come in and clean it up."
13. "twilight needs a video game"
14. [The Sims Mobile shutdown]: "Press F to Pay Respects"
15. [SimSecret Tumblr icon]: "Where ever you are, I hope you're ok"
16. "EA is a flaming dumpster fire
TS4 is a flaming dumpster fire
The community is a flaming dumpster fire but that's why I'm still here. The external drama surrounding the game is more entertaining than the game itself"
17. [grim reaper knocking on a door labeled Sims 4, with two open doors labeled Sims 3 and Sims Mobile behind him, both with blood spilling out the door]
18. "Why couldn't the 'additional traits' be added to the Sim Molecule with the other 3 traits? I don't understand."
19. "all my bills behind but at least i have the sims 3 exchange store and adventure awaits expansion pack in the sims 4"
20. [pureheart moderator]: "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU
You are supposed to be a fucking mod
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NEVER ONLINE ANYMORE????"
21. "I tend to play more white sims partially because they have blue/green eyes and red/blonde/brown hair too. I get bored with all sims having brown eyes and brown or black hair which is common for people of color."
22. Sims freeplay better anyways...
Sims Mobile was like Sims 4 in ways cheaply made corners cut little details none.
Sims freeplay on the other hand is like Sims 3 made with love and has details & with a bit more extra love & fixing could be a grand Sims game on mobile."
23. "I once made Grim playable through Boolean properties in The Sims 2 and than my sisters started complaining their sims wouldn't die."
24. [Sims 1/2 rerelease and Sims Mobile closing]: "I hope this is a concept of EA bringing back legacy Sims games with no microtransactions and shutting down the cash grabs"
25. [TS4 imaginary friend]: "YOU DON'T NEED TO SEND ME AWAY TO IMAGINARY LAND
IF YOU COME LIVE THERE WITH ME"
26. [The Sims Mobile]: "I SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY ON THIS GAME. I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER. I HATE WHAT FIREMONKEYS AND EA DID WITH THIS"
27. [TS4 snow]: "I think the snowy landscapes look good, and the objects covered in snow are fine, but the actual effect of snow falling looks shockingly bad to me. It looks like shit."
28. "I couldn't be happier that The Sims MObile is dead!! It has the most predatory micro transactions ever! 99 dollars for a bedroom set!"
29. "i'm not switching to linux/android just because apple is funding trump's ballroom."
30. "I'm sad that the EA buyout and EA creator partner exodus is going to give Paralives a leg up, because I'm a HATER and I want Paralives to fail.
Although, I think Paralives will suck and will flop all on its own. 🥰"
31. "They had a bundle deal for the kits and I bought it. Then they added another bundle deal, and I bought that too. That's the only way I'll buy them. But if they release a different bundle each week, I'm sad to say that I will buy them all."
32. [Discord post thanking players for being part of the community and mentioning that the team's mission and values remain the same, express your authentic self, and a large update is coming on November 4th]: "In other words......The Sims Team is panicking due to player pushback of the EA buyout, especially now that people like lilsimsie, James Turner, Plumbella, Steph0Sims, and Caryn & Connie have bailed on the EA creator program. The team wants to promise us that nothing will change, but the truth is, they can't make that promise. I have no doubt that the individuals who work for The Sims don't want things to change, but they have limited control. If they are told to do XYZ, they have to do it. And furthermore, even if things DON'T change, continuing to give EA money will still be funding certain things that many people do not want to give money to. Things are going to be really interesting over the next few months."

Huh?

Re: 7

Another weird, fake anecdote secret?

death to microtransactions

[(Anonymous)]

3. it gives me the feeling of not wanting to touch it, like a poisonous frog
9. i can't with fitgirl repacks, they take too long and never work for me
13. i thought twilight wouldve had a wii shovelware game at least, it deserves it
16. same! i just uninstalled sims 4 to make space for bauldar's gate. ive been absorbing whatever news or drama comes by, a dumpster fire that warms our need for drama
18. 4's ui is so bad, full stop. the way info is packed in feels so unorganized
23. lmao thats really funny
27. i never understood why they made the snowflakes look like splotches. you cant tell me a low rez snowflake will crash games
30. i forget paralives exsists until someone mentions it. i was excited for the game originally for the build mode, but everything around it seems forgetable
32. im interested in seeing (but also dreading) what things will look like this time next year. my want to be playing the game has died so much now, the game feels so disjointed after years of piling on useless shit. this direct link to terrible real life events sealed the deal for me, at least i still have 2 & 3

18, 27

[(Anonymous)]

TS4 DESPERATELY needs a serious UI overhaul. It was ok when it came out, 10 years and 100+ packs later, it's a total mess.

Agreed, the snow looks so bad, at least give people with decent computers the option to have snow that doesn't look like it's from a 90s game.

2, 9

[(Anonymous)]

2 - cool? i don't think anyone thinks a boycott will take down ea or make a meaningful dent in their finances, it's more about the boycotters not having to feel gross flinging money at vile people

9 - too late now ig but anadius' unlocker is the way to go. you can even access the gallery with it if you follow the instructions

[(Anonymous)]

I predict paralives is going to be aggressively mid and safe in order to grab the Cozy Gamer audience.

[(Anonymous)]

Paralives will win GOTY whether you like it or not.

4. i honestly love this gif

[(Anonymous)]

idk but i have a feeling that vampishly will be the pleasantsims of the sims 4 community soon

[(Anonymous)]

this video is 4 years old and deligracy's channel has barely grown since she made it.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnWKOywmWmY

and her views per video have tanked. wow. this person really had it right.

i wish she'd do more videos.

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

re 29

[(Anonymous)]

i could build a better ballroom in ts1

Re: re 29

[(Anonymous)]

We all could build a better ballroom in the Sims 1. I'd like to believe i could do it without knocking an entire wing of the goddamned Whitehouse.

Warning: NSFW Sims

[francinefrenski]

Picture in next post

32 + creators leaving the EA network

[(Anonymous)]

i don't think this is going to amount to much. half of them are still going to do sims anyway and will probably end up buying new packs

Why wouldn’t you just use the anadius unlocker? You deserve this long wait.

oh wow just watched this
https://www.reddit.com/r/Paralives/comments/1o2f4nq/check_out_this_small_bedroom_with_a_walkin_closet/

"style creation" looks so tedious
nightmarish even

[(Anonymous)]

I love how everything in that closet is totally non functional and pointless
also why is there a window
who puts a window in a closet
these people have no idea what they're doing

ok, I thought it was just me. This creator gives me bad vibes. I feel like they're a Sims 4 player who ditched that game and now wants to come to Sims 3 with their paid mods bullshit infecting our community like a virus. It took them like 3 weeks before they started paywall their shit with "early access".

I wouldn't be surprised if they're also using other peopler's code for their mods.

Every time I see a new mod from them, I'm uneasy.

Re: 3

[(Anonymous)]

Ohohoho...these wannabe famous creators always start with free stuff, and then they'll go early access, and then one day it's paywalled forever. I really would never trust paywallers an inch.

[(Anonymous)]

When the self-hate and internalized racism makes you forget that games aren't real and your Sims can have any eye color you want because it doesn't fucking matter. Just say you want to play white sims because you want to play white sims, we don't care.
