ROUND 2 Y'ALL!

The thread for all things related to the Sims! Talk about news, updates, your current save, prominent community members, favorite/least favorite games, etc. !
Here are some questions to start off the thread:
>favorite Sims game?
>least favorite Sims game?
>what kind of player are you? (legacies, challenges, builder, cas mode, etc. ?)
>favorite neighborhood?
>least favorite neighborhood?
>favorite townie?
>least favorite townie?
>what is one thing you have done in the game that you are proud of? maybe it's making it to 30 generations, or building a really good lot, finishing up a collection, etc.

I did so please just talk about sims or sims drama or w/e.

Wrt the sims I wonder if sims 5 is going to come prepackaged with tranny/themby sims or if they're going to leave the pandering to the sims 4. Also I have a bad feeling about the early game demo shown because it's just build mode. Just very cautious of project rene in general.

For TS2 it's better to find a torrent for the ultimate collection. I got my version from games4theworld years ago and I don't think that they host the UC anymore. There's the archive.org download but you will need to read the comments for the instructions as it comes with it's own installer.

There's worse mods/cc. ColonelNutty is the worst TS4 modder I know of. Not only is he a coomer but he made mods for pedophiles and zoosadists. LoversLab banned his mods and links to them because they were so deplorable and he harassed Turbodriver, another coom modder.
As far as NSFW mods go, TD goes out of his way to ban anything noncon and blacklists certain mods that add or support it, plus the few lesbian creators in his sphere exclusively use WW instead of DD for very obvious reasons

I've been playing a cracked version of Sims 4, and honestly I'm kinda scared that EA will find out and ban me from their games kek. I always make sure to play offline. It's not even being banned from TS4 that I care about, it's them revoking my ability to play TS3.
It's EA's fault. I bought all of the TS3 packs because it was a good game, if they actually put effort into TS4 I would be willing to pay for all of the packs too. I want to play, but I'm just not willing to give them anymore money than what I've already spent on TS4 when a lot of my enjoyment from the game comes from mods.

I also use a high seas acquired copy of TS4. I recommend blocking TS4.exe from accessing the internet in your firewall. If you don't know how to do that look it up on the internet. Even when playing in offline mode the game will connect to the internet on startup to load the news and updates section on the main menu. Blocking it from accessing the internet completely stops it from doing that and the game loads faster because it can't downloading anything.

Why the fuck did they feel the need to add infants? Most pointless lifestage addition… ever. Adding in toddler and young adult made so much sense but you just know infants are just some cashgrab shit that will not carry over into the next game. Fuck infants.

i like how they added an entire new life stage instead of, i don’t know, actually fixing the baby stage. the babies still come out the wrong skin tone, have no clothing options without mods, and force every adult in the house to come running to the bassinet and glitch out.

>have no clothing options without mods
You can now change the clothing on newborns. The option is buried in the pie menu under baby care. If you have the knitting pack you can also knit new clothing for the baby.

>force every adult in the house to come running to the bassinet and glitch out
Turn off autonomy in the options menu. The sim AI in TS4 is the worst it's ever been. Switching it off makes the game so much more playable.

I know there are so little secrets as it is, but I still wished they were seperated by game gen. I never ventured farther than TS3, and that only for some few months, and I especially don't know, let alone care, for any TS4 drama, so back when I still read it weekly, I just scrolled past 95% of submissions.

I like it but I think it should be a gamepack. The world is like, fine but it feels empty. Infants are fun, I like the new kids aspirations (FINALLY), and that it gives elder sims some things to do. I like the chemistry feature, although I wish there was a physical or romantic attraction component. I think it's a good pack but not to be bought full price.

anon, idk if it helps but as others have covered the pirating aspects of it, i'm pretty sure you can back up your saves, library, etc as well, i'd just advise you do it regularly in case anything breaks or gets corrupted. i love the sims 3 and miss playing it but i don't miss how slow saving would eventually become on each save.

>>288471

infants are just okay, imo, but dealing with babies is still super annoying. so i can see the needs of my infant and attend to them but not see what the baby/newborn needs still? i have aging turned off but even with this new pack i'm speeding away from the newborn life stage. fuck that literal noise. i had a nanny for the last family i played and the kid just went on crying

I generally have a lot of sympathy for Kayla because I've sorta followed here since she was still a nervous ball high schooler until she's now married with a million subs. Call it a parasocial relationship or whatever but I just subconsciously root for her even if her content can be boring amd is really just an excuse for a vlog/podcast. I don't blame her for playing the youtube game with the stupid faces and sycophantic EA praise, something tells me she's the breadwinner of her family and is trying her hardest.

Also does anyone have any resources or advice on mods for TS4 to remove the following:
Troons and the possibility of troon townies being generated being removed (did a pack introduce them or is it basegame?)
Removing the whole interface where you pick how you can piss
A program where you can outright disable things like clothes or other troon aspected items from the game entirely
I’m planning to project my lesbian cottagecore farm with horses dream into my next game and I don’t want to be exposed to whatefer EA wanted to express with all that pandering picrel

You can either do this yourself in Sims4Studio or download CAS hiders that someone else has made. The sims community coddles trannies so you will probably have to make them. You can search for "Sims 4 Studio CAS hiders" to get tutorials on how to do it.

old post I know but what you can do is simply make a dummy ea account and torrent the whole thing from fitgirl repacks (make sure its the real site) and then you can have all expansions, stuff packs and kits (theres an updater all listed in the fitgirl site) and you can just transfer your data into the pirated instal and you can go ham with it. i honestly highly recommend it. havent given EA a cent since they killed Maxis
