The fact that the Sims 3 site is still active with sales and items released since Sims 4 launched really says what people actually think about 4.
Sims 3 with nRaaz mods is a vastly superior game. Just with stupid load times and a very high chance for you game to end up as a massive fireball visible from orbit. Which is the end state of most Sims 3 games anyways.
I can't wait 'til they implement swatches again for build/buy items.
Snowy Escape is great if you like Japanese themed builds. I'm mentally prepping to rebuild 888 Spire in the city because I love the forced limitation of working around the apartment layout and the actual layout of the lot is, in a word, crap. The actual Japanese neighborhood is a bit disappointing and whoever is designing their sims the last few packs absolutely hates attractive people. So many fat sims with too wide faces.
Lmfao never forget the disaster prebuilds of RoM with the missing doors, misaligned windows, etc.
888 Spire has kitchen cabinets placed on the windows and the wall lights are set up at shin level. It's three floors, but the bottom floor is mostly a pool, with huge bathrooms for no reason. Platforms and the big japanese style bath are probably a better fit. It's like their lot designers have good ideas, but they sometimes feel like first drafts with misplaced shit everywhere. Like all their fat lesbian sims.
Dear lord i haven't checked out the apartments in a while, I don't remember them being so abysmal
That's the thing, most of them aren't. 888 Spire is the worst, it's like whoever was assigned to it gave it a run through and decided it was good enough. To be fair, it's biggest problem is placing the staircases, since the walls have so many windows. You can put them there, but the stairs will clip through the windows a bit. So you almost have to place it centrally, but then you have to redo everything. The top floor has a stupid walk in closet too. The lot feels awkward to work with, which is why it's a fun challenge, but damned annoying sometimes.Dear lord i haven't checked out the apartments in a while, I don't remember them being so abysmal
do you mean ea's sims 3 store because if so, lol that shit's fucking dead dude. i am surprised that it's still up along with the sims 3 exchange though, they fucking nuked the sims 2 equivalents in 2013!! never forgiving ea for that shit, you can still read some archived sims 2 exchange stories here but the domain is old as fuck and i have no idea how to contact the dude that runs it
as far as i can tell they fucking gave up with the new japanese pack and just hired ea shills like james turner to build the premade lots for them.. which is honestly a good move on their part, too bad it took them six years to reach that conclusion
Holy shit! Their entire dev team consists of only two people. I would not be surprised if the garden gnome is more productive than the other creatures in this picture.
give it time, the complaints will come rolling in soon
Give it a few days and then the complains will be about hair, then clothing, then housing, then whatever, it's never enough for these people
Yeah, that one is pure lunacy because outside of the skin tone patch, they've gone out of their way in every recent expansion to put "diverse" Sims at the forefront.
