Anyone have a mod that completely and totally eliminates the cellphone from the game? I don't want any functionality from it, no calls/texts, no ordering/traveling or social crap, no idle animations of sims playing games on the toilet or whatever. Everything I can find on search engines just removes a few animations but not the entire phone itself. I'd play the game again if that became a base feature, plus the return of newspapers, magazines, landlines, real grocery shopping, etc.

uhm, it depends on what you mean by "depth" but if you use body shop that comes with the game (you can download it externally too) it has much more sliders than the in game CAS which is really just some stupid bs thing to pull. and ofc you can always download more sliders as mods but you prolly wanna keep it vanilla. what i liked about sims 2 is how the genetics work in that game because it is like real life and the kids look similar to their parents even grandparents and i never got that vibe from either 3 or 4 ever

Genetics sounds really cool. I'll give 2 a try, thank you guys for convincing me.

I like that first one. I'll try it out and if it works, well, the game is still pretty broken by clown sims, bugs, and lag on par with launch Sims 3. But at least I won't get forced to acknowledge modernity when I'm trying to be off-grid. Whoever at Maxis thought it was acceptable to include off-grid but not completely remove cellphones was a moron. I suppose going "off-grid" in a city world you'd still get reception but in those rural country worlds they made for cottages and horses they shouldn't have phone service. Thank you for the links!

you're welcome! have you played the game "sims medieval"? i really like it. it has a story mode kinda gameplay to it where you play different roles in a kingdom. it uses the graphics of sims 3 but came out later, and i think because of that, the sims don't have them potato faces. i really like the graphics in that game better than sims 3 and it is fully off the grid naturally. you can murder people thru swordfights, send them to stocks and even to the monster pit. they pee in a bowl and you can own pigeons. the family gameplay aspect is lacking but idrc. it even introduces religion for the first time (if you don't count the cults and stuff in previous handheld versions) so the game was really fun and it only had one dlc which added the pirates and the related lore. totally give it a try if you're into that

Introducing The Sims Maker Program and The Sims 4 Marketplace

To be fair, it's the creator that sets the prices - it's strange that they chose a price that doesn't match the amounts of currency you can buy. That's something you do as the store owner to make people buy more currency than they need, seems like a dumb move to make people do that to get 30 more cents out of the transaction. Also funny to point out that the content you're charging for is less functional and has lower fidelity than the stuff that you (eventually) give away for free.

I don't know what would be worse - if there's some shady dealing going on and preferred creatives are getting some extra money to put content up on the marketplace, or if they're getting compensated purely through the creator program and allowing EA to capture and monetize the modding scene for peanuts. Bad precedent to set for modding in a hobby that's already exhaustively monetized.
 
While semi off topic, the upcoming competitor Paralives comes out sometime next month. I decided to watch a video about it from this month which talks about the basic stuff, but when she got the topic of mods apparently the devs are going to allow texture mods but not script mods. I know that I joke about it, but alot of sim players on PC play with script mods, and that statement alone saying they're not allowing script mods is going to affect sales. Look at Inzoi, yeah it has more mechanics and more engaging gameplay so why hasn't it taken off? (besides needing a updated PC) because it lacks script mods. And what type of script mod? Wicked whims, I'm not even joking because most players (especially women) play with it.

"Allow"? Not having tools supporting it (already a very bad idea) is one thing but unless they're going to try to prevent it anything can be modded. Even easier to do via MelonLoader since it's a Unity game. You think they would read the room and see that mods are a large part of why Sims is so successful but I guess letting your game bomb is a small price to pay to keep people from doing what they want with the software they bought from you.

So I can't take the faggotry out of the game, I see. No thanks.

I don't think they can stop people from modding the game at all, but their stance on this is already a huge red flag.

Its also just weirdly narcissistic. Aside from porn mods, the most popular sims mods are just normal performance enhancing and depth increasing ones. Like the ones adding more realistic illness or pregnancy or whatever. Forcing the young adult ladies that make up the main demographic (and wouldnt download anti-woke mods in the first place) to play the game exactly the way you want them to seems very petty.
