Never Have I Ever... [GAME]
Hi hi everyone! So this discussion is a game called "Never Have I Ever" and I'm sure most of you know how to play it but if not, here's an example: Person 1: Never have I ever ridden a horse. Person 2: I have. Never have I ever... And so on. Basically, I'll start, and the person below me would say if they have or haven't done what I said. They would then continue saying "Never have I ever..." the only thing is, if you are saying the nhie statement, it has to be something you've NEVER done. Okay, I'll start. :) Never have I ever skipped school.Pls The Sims Castaway Dlc
I would like to propose a new expansion for The Sims 4 inspired by the beloved game, The Sims Castaway. This expansion offered a unique and immersive experience, combining survival elements with the classic gameplay we all love. Bringing back The Sims Castaway theme with the enhanced graphics and capabilities of The Sims 4 would be a dream come true for many fans. Thank you for considering this suggestion!

My Ideas for The Sims 5/Project Rene
A letter for EA Games and their Chairman: I have made several petitions detailing how the company of EA Games is to be run. Most of the petitions of mine you have not followed, I shall give you one last chance. For The Sims 5 (or Project Rene), here's the demands: Don't make the game online only. It makes the game impossible to mod. Plus simmers want to mod the game like previous games. I will allow premade households, as long as they are playable. These premade households must (but not only) include: Goth family (with adults as Victor and Gretle Goth, with Frida and Gunther Goth as their children) Crumplebottom family (with adults as Simon and Prudence Crumplebottom and Cornelia and Agnes Crumplebottom as their children) Bachelor family (with adults as Milton and Enriqueta Bachelor and Simis Bachelor as their child) Williamson family (with adults as Henry and Gina Williamson and Jocasta Williamson as their child) Landgraab family (with adults as Kermit and Kitty Landgraab and Chester Landgraab as their child) Caliente family (with adults as Nestor and Dulcinea Caliente and Tango and Flamenco Caliente as their children) Mango family (with adults as Domingo and Georgia Mango and Katrina Mango as their child) Lothario family (with adults as Carmelo and Mama Lothario and Nicolo Lothario as their child) Fiorello family (with adults as Primo and Isabella Fiorello with Adriana Fiorello as their child) Burb family (with adults as Benjamin and Susan Burb and Brad Burb as their child) Marsh family (with adults as William and Anastasia Marsh and Tiffany Marsh as their child) Pleasant family (with adults as Les and Kynda Pleasant and Jeff Pleasant as their child) Danders family (with adults as Marshall and Melinda Danders and Diane Danders as their child) Oldie family (with adults as Myron and Irma Oldie and Herb Oldie as their child) Ruggbyrne family (with adults as Bruno and Mamie Ruggbyrne and Coral Ruggbyrne as their child) Broke family (with adults as James and Abigail Broke and Flat and Buck Broke as their children) Lincoln family (with adults as George and Elissa Lincoln and Flo Lincoln as their child) Rees family (with adults as Olivier and Jasmine Rees and Mary Lu Rees as their child) Newbie family (with adults as Bob I and Mags Newbie and Bob Newbie II as their child) Simovitch family (with adults as Vadim and Fatima Simovitch and Betty Simovitch as their child) Dreamer family (with adults as Dalmar and Dacia Dreamer and Davis Dreamer as their child) Darong family (with adults as Sef and Lina Darong and Delilah Darong as their child) Matlapin family (with adults as Amar and Isabelle Matlapin and Omar Matlapin as their child) King family (with adults as Henry and Olive King with Mariana King as their child) Those are all in my demands list. I will be watching what you will do with the new game. Should my demands be ignored, a disastrous boycott to the game will occur.
KRAFTON's inZOI Life Simulation Game vs. Sims 5 (Rene)
Yet another life simulation game in the works. Take a look. Krafton is a South Korean video game publisher behind popular games such as PUBG and Subnautica. They engaged with several Sims content creators to get exclusive access to their new game, inZOI, which has only been in development for 1 year (!!). What do you think? I was immediately struck by the realism of the graphics. Very different from the stylized Sims art. The world is gorgeous. FAQs When will the game come out? The development team is working towards a release date of 'late 2024' What engine was used to build the game? Unreal Engine 5 What platforms will the game be on? It will initially be released on PC and is later expected to be on consoles like the PS5 and Xbox How much will the game cost? Will there be expansion packs? The monetization model is currently undecided, including the plan for expansion packs and DLCs Will the game be multiplayer?* They are currently working on various multiplayer features, such as the ability to meet up with other online players or invite them over to your home *the game is still in development so all answers are subject to change! IGN Gameplay VideoWhat Music Are You Listening To Right Now?
This was a long running thread in the Off Topic section of the old Vanilla forums. Many of us were introduced to so many new artists we might never have found otherwise. We were reminded of old favorites we had forgotten too. Music moves the world, this thread is a place to celebrate the most universal art form. EDM, Blues, Punk, Metal, Hip Hop, Soul, if it moves you share it here. Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia
What WAS possible can be again: Driving & Flying in your SIMSCities.
Unless you're old (over 50 ); like many of us now or rabidly interested in EVERY SIM titles MAXIS produced, you are likely unaware at one time you could create SIMCITY cities; then have high adventures and careers driving & flying inside them in 1st & 3d person views. And. That The SIMS was created with the intention of doing the same. Allowing you to live, drive and fly inside your SIMCITY creations. For whatever reasons this IMPLODED. But. IT DID WORK :) ! And. In 2025 and beyond there are fewer and fewer technological/computing problem that can impede returning to that. The competitors are already running with it. With no ill will to them, many wanted/want the MAXIS/EA combined SIMTITLES to be the KING. And. Still do! Decades have been lost but much has been learned and the POWER possible in THE SIMS makes one dream of how impactful and amazing they could be now in CITY, STREETS, COPTER, etc. gameplay. Building the perfect SIMS to deploy and building your best SIMS to take on the grand adventures. Whatever happens. At some point in the future. You WILL have the grandest SIM experiences ever! It's inevitable. Cheers & Best!
Where have the old (now Read Only) forums gone?
Have been trying to find a link to the old Sims forums site (to link an old story thread to a new one), but when I type in the address I had for it into my search, it now only brings up the new forums site. Have tried typing everything I can think of that used to bring up the link, but nothing is bringing up the old forums. Has the old forum site been deleted? I understood that it was going to remain online but just as 'read only.' It would have been nice to just be able to look back on it as an archive. Just wondered if anyone else is having the same trouble? (Also why have most of the avatars turned into silhouettes?)
Project Renee/Future of Sims
It was very disappointing to hear that there won’t be a Sims 5. I just don’t understand where this is all heading. Project Renee just looks like another sims game but not an UPGRADED one. I believe we need another Sims game but this time it needs to be better than all the other games. It needs to have something from all the games otherwise what’s the point? In my opinion The Sims 4 is so incredibly boring. It’s a cash grab and if anything the game is actually just a building simulator. Also, not making a newer, better game because of this reasoning- “we would hate to make players start over” is just pathetic and lazy. We have said for so long that we need something like The Sims 3, the Sims 2 and most definitely not another boring cash grab Sims 4 but me and many others see that our pleads and our suggestions aren’t being heard. For me if the new Sims game isn’t better than all of the other ones then I’m done. Im going to just play and devote my time to InZoi and Paralives. Those developers seem to actually want to listen to the player base. I’ve been a Sims fan ever since Sims 2 came out. I’ve played all of the Nintendo games, the PlayStation games and after I got a PC I started playing Sims 3 then the Sims 2. I saw and experienced how much better the other games were despite them being older. Im sorry for this being a negative post but, if it’s not then are you guys ever going to listen?My perfect Sims 5
Over the past years the Sims has been around there have been concepts that Maxis & EA have gotten right and instances they got it very, very wrong. So this post is about examples of things I would love from past iterations of the Sims (and a few ideas for improvements) to be in the Sims 5. I had to separate and add in the comments suggested Gardening plants as well as Cooking & Baking recipes. I have also added things id like to see for sims 5 that aren't apart of any game so far. THIS IS A LONG MULTI-COMMENT POST. SCROLL THROUGH AND ADD YOUR COMMENTS & SUGGESTIONS. NOTE: I PLACED LISTS FOR COOKING, BAKING AND BEVERAGE RECIPE SUGGESTIONS BEHIND SPOILERS.

More small details like this would be great The memory system The Attraction System - Turn Ons, Turn Offs They can do basically the same ones http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/8/8e/TurnOnsOffs.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100223013105 The Western Zodiac https://sumukhastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/blogs-Banner-v214-Western-Astrology.jpg The cut scenes for huge life events The traits seemed to have more impact like messy Sims didn't make their beds Setting climates for each neighborhood so they made sense The had the best functioning hotels - TBH Island Living had a nice resort system too but it was so late in the game and would have been better than the hostels in WA. Hotel Desk, Locking Doors, Maid Service, Concierge activities, Room service, shuttle service Stable restaurants - Family could have job positions, plus the table interactions, the roving musician The Hair Salon Pet Jobs The Upright Piano for smaller homes.

The witch alignments (neutral, good, bad, very good, Very evil) Retail experience was better, you could even see simoleans changing hands, the changing rooms, the generic radio stations, Car Lots - where you can purchase automobiles Sims 2 had the best weddings (only because Sims 4 messed up their wedding pack) and you could plan for a honeymoon that a Limousine took you to. http://davidchess.com/pictures/sims2_a/JaneS_Martin_limo.jpg Chess Tournaments those need a comeback The Jump Rope, Exercise Bike and Chin up Bar http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131211021513/sims/es/images/thumb/2/27/LS2_Hobbies_32.jpg/500px-LS2_Hobbies_32.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W-6AsJind0Y/hqdefault.jpg The functional garage doors for gasp! garages and driveways The fabulous awning tool and the Wrought Iron and Glass Awning from Apartment Life Playing Marco Polo in the pool Tai-Chi and Mahjong http://www.gameguru.in/images/sims-2-bon-voyage-ss4.jpg Tea ceremony Sewing and Pottery Making https://static.miraheze.org/simswiki/thumb/7/7a/Hobby_Arts_and_Crafts.jpg/670px-Hobby_Arts_and_Crafts.jpg http://www.4gamer.net/games/046/G004615/SS/004.jpg Trimming bushes, pulling weeds - The Gardener had more to do Writing Books - The process was far more clever where you could pick amongst thought bubbles and sort of figure out what the book was about Bird watching from Free Time https://s.getwinpcsoft.com/screenshots/10/10006_1.png The Yo-Yo & Juggling https://static.taigame.org/image/screenshot/201304/the-sims-2-freetime-15.jpg The Lemonade stand https://static.miraheze.org/simswiki/a/aa/TS2OFB_Gallery_29.jpg The Skunk, The Raccoon and most importantly the Alpha Wolf The different greetings for the different social groups Tuning Instruments Winding the grandfather clock and it chimes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRCpMGiWzVY&t=13s The food contests http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/21400000/TS2-FreeTime-the-sims-2-freetime-21459082-500-383.jpg The Putting green http://www.igropoisk.com/files/screen/6106/1.jpg The Elevator Build pieces http://thumbs.modthesims2.com/img/3/0/2/5/7/2/MTS_Yogi-Tea-1263144-3-playtest.jpg Being able to see and change the style of ceilings Sims 3 Open World Color Wheel - and more channels to choose for color and patterns https://graf1x.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/color-wheel-poster.jpg CAS Hair color being divided by root, shaft and ends Create a Pattern The Gorgeous neighborhoods - the detail work and variety of the neighborhoods was the best its been in Sims 3 Cemeteries Weather, Temperature and Seasons - Only better than Sims 4 because it has Fog, Hail and Deep Snow The Moon cycle The Town Center where the Seasonal festivals were held.

To make it really awesome it would have had to had a ferris wheel and more Midway games http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5_yRgoBoSdA/UqpudryTAVI/AAAAAAAAMWE/Yw2z0O-nLBw/s1600/Screenshot-12.jpg The Geisha Statuette from the Sims 3 store. Not that I want this item back per se (Although I wouldn't complain about it) more that I liked the detail. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0c/1d/82/0c1d82a6463007cf4f5656e55ff74ae5.png Sims 4 The Vampire Pack - The vampire were superior to past vampires from everything to their powers and weaknesses, the detail stuff like making garlic wreaths and chains and bringing back the coffins and other tropes from folklore and the movies. I even love the Bleh! Seriously if they had the cape thing Bela Lugosi did I'd love it all the more. I would have loved it if they had brought back the Vampire specific Eclipsing Fog from Sims 3 but I would have had that fog protect the vampires in daylight. https://images.sftcdn.net/images/t_app-cover-l,f_auto/p/b17aa0d4-99eb-11e6-8ee3-00163ed833e7/47541037/the-sims-3-seasons-screenshot.png The Veterinary Clinic - Illnesses and injuries Holidays, Event Planning, Holiday Traditions all were fabulous - Do that again Loved the clubs those were great The variety of fairs and cultural festivals - Sims 3 did the seasonal festivals better by far but variety is the spice of life and exploring other cultures is quite fun. The food selections were good and adding them to the potential restaurant menus was a good idea Separating Cooking from Baking - Baking should have been a base game skill. The Restaurant Menu - this was a nice touch. It just needed to be tweaked so courses came out properly. Being able to add to the menu and setting it to create restaurants with different cuisine is always the right thing. Lot Traits - I hope in future they have strong impacts for lots this can help make visiting different lots more unique. Hats separate from hair The Voice Modulation Spa Day was great - Everything about it was fabulous ESPECIALLY after you added Manicures and Pedicures. https://simsvip.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18706277654_7ab4a4fdcc_o.png Setting the holiday decorations for the outside with the little decoration box Setting the phones ring tone Trimming the Tree The multiple outfits one can plan in the different types of clothing The Pipe Organ. Love, Love, Love it! In future it needs pipe build pieces for really grand builds. And to play http://sims-online.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/pipe-organ.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erXG9vnN-GI The walk styles The Familiars Fabulous Idea I just wish they could do more https://www.gamersdecide.com/sites/default/files/authors/u154843/0001.jpg Hiking The Water effects - ducks, reeds, bugs etc. The Skating Rink - I love setting up the lights, effects and music. Cooking the grand meal for holidays. I'd definitely keep that but maybe add to it with international dishes over time Rock Climbing Scouting & Scouting Badges https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/gamepictures/expansionpacks/seasons/scouting-career/scout-uniforms.jpg Snowy Escape - The Winter Sports - would have been better in a European Ski Town. So that the Japanese aspects could have been better Snowy Escape - The Bath House, Kotatsu, the hot pot The mermaids were better in the Sims 4 because of their new powers. They were also somewhat prettier https://simscommunity.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/TS4_x64-2019-06-20-18-36-19-1320x742.png Snorkeling - I think it had its place WITH Scuba not in place of it. The sub sections of career paths Setting the table The holiday themed door mats. I love doormats and change mine often for the time of year or for holidays https://sims4downloads.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/1733.jpg The Holiday Garland and the mistletoe Patchy the Straw-man - I love that the Sims 3 version had him doing silly dances and scared Sims https://simsvip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/07-02-18_7-42-50-AM.png Pet clothing https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7b/ed/f2/7bedf2e75412de88aa7c9277a0645efb.png Knitting, and the needle point https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-98k4S1URlQE/XxDC_ToVHvI/AAAAAAAAAn8/9pIPj3ar6C8hSyBV_B0AhO1_WCA8UO_1ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1422/niftyknittingsims4.JPG The bird feeder I would have given the clean interaction because birds love to poop on their feeders. Also they are making feeders now that have little string lights on the inside of it ran by solar power. Glows at night. I liked the vacuums and dust as a concept. The execution just needed work.
