[Academic Survey] How First The Sims Experiences Shape Brand Perception
Hello everyone, I'm currently working on my university thesis about how players' first experiences with The Sims series shape the way they see the franchise today. If you started with The Sims 3 or The Sims 4, your perspective would be especially valuable to me, but all Sims players are very welcome. The survey is anonymous, non-commercial and takes about 5–7 minutes to complete. Every single response genuinely helps me move forward with my research, and I'm genuinely grateful to anyone who decides to participate. Thank you very much for your time and support. Here's the link to my survey: https://forms.gle/fDVvVAusHErwHmdh6
The Sims Medieval 2026
I am attempting to go down memory lane and play some Sims Medieval, but every time I attempt to launch it, EA gives me the not able to launch on our end, try again later error. I have done many things. Uninstall - Reinstall Repair Uninstall - Reinstall EA App Install DirectX 9 Install C++ Run in Windows 7 compatibility mode Run as admin Bypassing the EA app and launching through BIN Nothing has let me launch it. I have seen others play this game within the last year or so, but I haven't tried in a long time. Any help???Request for Port/ Remaster: The Sims Bustin' Out for Nintendo Switch
With the recent success and positive reception of the MySims Cozy Bundle on the Nintendo Switch, it really feels like the perfect time to bring back one of the most beloved console entries in the franchise: The Sims Bustin’ Out. For many longtime fans, Bustin’ Out was not just another Sims game. It had a personality and charm that felt completely unique. The objective-based Bust Out Mode gave players a clear sense of progression that made every move to a new house feel exciting and meaningful. Instead of just building endlessly, you were working toward something, unlocking new opportunities, meeting unforgettable characters, and slowly climbing your way through the world. The characters themselves were a huge part of the magic. People still remember personalities like Mom and Uncle Phil because they made the game feel alive and a little bit strange in the best possible way. There was humor, weirdness, and heart baked into the experience that hasn’t quite been replicated in the same way since. For a lot of players, this game holds a deep nostalgic place in their childhood memories. It was the kind of game you could spend hours with, discovering new interactions, completing goals, and feeling like you were part of a quirky little universe. Those memories have stuck with many of us for years. The structure of Bustin’ Out would also translate incredibly well to modern handheld gaming. The mission-style progression and clear goals feel perfectly suited for the pick-up-and-play style of the Switch. Whether it’s a faithful port or a polished remaster, there’s a huge audience of both returning fans and new players who would love to experience this classic again. With the continued popularity of life simulation and cozy games on the Switch, bringing The Sims Bustin’ Out back could introduce an entirely new generation to a truly special chapter in Sims history. A lot of classic games fade away over time, but this one still lives vividly in the memories of fans. It would be amazing to see it given a second life on modern hardware. Would anyone else love to see Bustin’ Out return on the Switch? 🎮The Sims Medieval won't launch
I just bought TSM almost 2 weeks ago. It has never been able to launch. It keeps giving me the error "Failed to launch game- an error on our end caused the game to fail. Try again a little later". It has never launched. I'm playing on Windows 11 pro, and all my drivers are up to date. I have more than enough ram, cpu etc for playing this game. I've read the forums and tried running from TSM.exe and got the same message. Thank you for your assistance.
Sims medieval
I have a huge problem with the sims medieval every time I play and go to save it throws me an error code 12 sometimes not 13 as a result I can't save the game and have to do the mission again from the beginning sometimes it really throws me and outside of the panchnidi I've tried everything I don't know why it does it it's tiring I know it's stopped it's been around for years but it's my favorite and the truth is that I recently remembered it because of the new sims 4 pack if you could fix the bugs it has I would appreciate it it's my favorite shame that it didn't make it to other packs

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.

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. Love, Love, Love the grand pianos but some house builds require something smaller https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d5/fc/ca/d5fcca6a5b8a732ce1fdc975e2fdc673.jpg The Newspaper The Paperboy/Girl Births & Obits The Crossword Puzzle Engagement & Wedding Announcements The Horoscope The Chasing of paperboy/girl by dog Interests - Sims Child through Adult and dogs and Cats all had interests appropriate to them Bon Voyage - Camping area activities http://www.kritikanstvo.ru/games/s/sims2bonvoyage/images/sims2bonvoyage_pc_507503.jpg https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/3/3e/Log_Rolling.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20100314110351 Bon Voyage - The Zen Garden Purchasing jewelry The Hobbies and their enthusiasm - can work with clubs but the enthusiasm was a nice touch Pet Store - Grooming Tub, Trainer, the actual store assets Parrots, Cockatoos - Training them and getting them to speak and giving them treats The cage for the smaller birds was the best the Sims has ever done The 3 universities instead of two Juicing The Carpool, the Bus for kids - you could even see the driver honking The garden judging for the garden club The Private schools - (different uniforms, types of schools and their bonuses) and the Headmaster scenario because a level of difficulty in order to get into private schools should be there. 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. They were better than all the fairs Sims 4 had Generations & Supernatural almost everything was perfect.

I'd even keep the grape varietals https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/2/2e/Skill_nectar_making_in_motion.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120212072002 Vacation Homes Cars - the car alarm, the radio, setting ownership, teaching teens to drive, parking "wink", Parking Spaces The Ice Cream Man - I don't mind the food stalls I just dont want them in place of proper bricks and mortar lots https://simsvip.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Screenshot-911.jpg Horses, Horseback Riding, the Horse barns and Unicorns http://www.capsulecomputers.com.au/wp-content/gallery/the-sims-3-pets/the_sims_3_pets_screenshot_07.jpg http://www.gametactics.com/wp-content/gallery/the-sims-3-pets-xbox-360/ts3pets_pc_unicorns.jpg https://simsvip.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Screenshot-25.jpg The Rabbit-holes - But ONLY for specific places and the actual buildings must be shown - Town Hall & Courthouse, Military Base but not the obstacle course, The High school, The Private Schools, The Warehouse, The Volcano Base, The University classrooms but not the Student center or labs and lecture hall. The Office Building, The Hospital, The interior of the Equestrian center but not the obstacle course, The Fortune Teller's Caravan ((I loved the music), The Science Lab and Observatory, the police station, The movie theatre but not the lobby The Mermaids were better in terms of playability based on all the cool dive spots and the hidden island Firefighters and the firehouse Police, Burglars, Burglar alarms Being able to swim in almost all bodies of water Skating on frozen lake Scuba Diving including deep diving. Sims 4 cheaped out on this to their shame. https://www.simsnieuws.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/SNReviewEEduiken15.jpg The Deer - Would be a great come back for forested area along with the wolves.

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.

The Sims Medieval won't launch
I uninstalled and re-downloaded the Sims Medieval and it didn't work at all. I downloaded powershell and ran this thing that was marked as a solution before: echo "Launch Sims Medieval..." Launch Sims Medieval... PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> do{ >> $TSM = Get-Process TSM, SMLauncher, SimsMedievalLauncher -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue >> }until($TSM) and when I tried to run the Sims Medieval, it pooped out this: PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> $Affinity=$TSM.ProcessorAffinity PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> $TSM.ProcessorAffinity=1 PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> Start-Sleep -s 5 PS C:\Windows\System32> PS C:\Windows\System32> $TSM.ProcessorAffinity=$Affinity SetValueInvocationException: Exception setting "ProcessorAffinity": "Cannot process request because the process (57268) has exited." PS C:\Windows\System32> $TSM.ProcessorAffinity=$Affinity I love TSM and I want to play it very much. I tried to use the EA contact support thing, but every time I said "The Sims Medieval won't launch" to the chat bot, it ended the conversation abruptly. I can't believe the state that EA is letting their app support slip to. This is so disappointing. Why would I ever buy another EA game if it's so hard to get support for them? And if you don't plan on keeping up with game maintenance for an old game, why re-release and re-sell it??The Sims Creator Program

What is the difference between The Sims Creator Program and the EA Creator Network? They’re made to work in tandem! The Sims Creator Program upholds the values, goals, and strategies that serve our Sims creators. The EA Creator Network is home to EA’s creators across its games, and is one of the tools to provide many of the important perks and franchise-specific access and opportunities. The Sims Creator Program operates using the Creator Network, and it’s one of the channels where once approved as a Sims creator, you can expect to hear from our team. I’m already a member of the EA Creator Network, but not of The Sims Creator Program. How can I request to join The Sims Creator Program? If you are a member of the EA Creator Network and have The Sims listed as your primary franchise, you’re already in The Sims Creator Program! Please reach out to your local POC to find out what opportunities and perks you can access. What constitutes an “active creator?” You actively create content across one or more The Sims titles, and “active” may look different across different platforms. As a baseline, you should have The Sims content on your main channel within the last 30 days, and a history of content from at least the last 90 days. How often do you review spots for The Sims Creator Program? We value every creator who requests to join The Sims Creator Program, so we’ll be reviewing each request with careful attention. Reviews will be ongoing, at the team’s discretion, and you can expect new cohorts of creators every month or two. Who is not eligible for The Sims Creator Program? The Sims Creator Program is not open to anyone who has violated the terms of any previous EA creator program (e.g. EA Game Changers), the EA User Agreement, EA Creator Network Guidelines, or those employed by other industry developers/publishers. Those who were removed from any previous EA Creator Programs are also not eligible to rejoin and/or be reinstated. I’m a parent, talent manager or agency representative and I represent a creator that wants to be a part of this program. Can I be a part of the program on their behalf? Unfortunately we do not allow talent agencies, talent managers or parents to apply or take part in this program on behalf of individual creators. Can I apply with my fan site to The Sims Creator Program? Yes, creators who operate fan sites of The Sims may apply to The Sims Creator Program and will be required to sign the same agreements as other EA Creator Network creators. What is the Support-A-Creator initiative? Support-A-Creator is a partnership program that enables The Sims 4 community to support creators when purchasing The Sims 4 content on the EA app store. This means creators will have the opportunity to earn commissions by promoting EA products using their unique Creator Code. Becoming a member of The Sims Creator Program entitles you to your very own Creator Code, which means purchases of The Sims 4 and other EA content (eg. Kits, Expansion Packs, other EA games) from the EA App, EA.com store or in-game purchase flow using your Creator Code will count towards supporting you. As a member of the The Sims Creator Program, do I have to participate in every opportunity that I’m invited to? Not at all! Creators may choose to participate in as many or as few opportunities as they like. I requested to join but was not successful or my submission wasn’t reviewed. Can I reapply? If you received an email inviting you to reapply, you can do so 90 days from when you receive that email. If you don’t receive an email from us after 90 days, please log back into the EA Creator Network site to check your status and eligibility to resubmit a request again. How do I know if a creator has created some form of content connected to the EA Creator Network or The Sims Creator Program? Members of the EA Creator Network and The Sims Creator Program must adhere to disclosure policies for content that they create and creators are responsible for including prominent disclosures on content connected to the EA Creator Network and The Sims Creator Program. Do the actions of The Sims Creator Program creators outside any EA game affect their program participation? Yes. If you see a creator who is part of The Sims Creator Program behaving in a way that you believe may break our EA Creator Network Guidelines or The Sims brand values, you can report them here. Can I participate in third party paid sponsorships while being a member of The Sims Creator Program? You may be approached by companies other than EA to perform sponsorship or promotional services on behalf of their marketing and promotions campaigns. In general, EA does not object to EA Creators pursuing these opportunities provided the use of EA marks, logos, or products such as The Sims franchise and its games are not used or featured in these other campaigns. The only exception to this is if the 3rd party paid sponsorships violate our EA Creator Network guidelines. How can I, a representative of a third party organization collaborate with EA and/or The Sims and The Sims Creator Program participants? Who should I reach out to first? We appreciate you taking interest in The Sims and the amazing creators we collaborate with.

Midsummer Studios’ Life Simulation Game vs. Sims 5 (Rene)?
Jake Solomon is a gaming industry veteran responsible for Marvel's Midnight Suns and the modern XCOM franchise. In March 2023, it was reported that he left 2K's Firaxis studio in February after 23 years. (XCOM’s Jake Solomon is forming a new studio and ‘likely won’t make a turn-based game’) He stated: XCOM director said he would likely make a simulation title, rather than another turn-based strategy game. “My intention, if anybody gives me the funding for it, is to open my own studio locally and make a new kind of game,” he said. “I can’t move too far away from what my experience is. I’m a creative director, but the truth is I’m actually a very in-the-weeds system designer. “I make games as a creative director but I actually end up designing a lot of the systems for the games. Even on Midnight Suns, I had some amazing designers but I ended up designing individual heroes, enemies and their abilities… “System design is important to me, so I want to make a systems-based game. I think it won’t be turn-based strategy… I want to make something that’s more of a life simulator or a simulation-style game. That’s the plan.” In December 2023, Rock Paper Shotgun reported a new interview with Jake Solomon ("Jake Solomon uncut: here's our post-Firaxis GDC interview in full") Some excerpts: You mentioned that you were quite excited by the idea of a life sim game. What life sims have you played over the years? What is it about them that you enjoy? There's a number of things that appeal. Without talking specifically about what it is I want to do, I think that the appeal of life sims is kind of manifold, but I think that, one, it's just life in miniature, right? From model train sets to doll houses to army men, there's something about life in miniature that I think is just naturally appealing. And I think the power of having the life that you want? You think like, 'Oh my gosh, simulating life, like, I already have a life and that feels like enough work!' But being able to have a different life and a life you want, I think it's really, really appealing. Is it those stories that emerge from within the simulation that get you fired up? Yeah, I think that everything feels original, there's a lot of procedural-ness to it, right? And then everything feels original to you because it's procedural. And when it feels original, it feels authentic. And it feels shareable. Even if it's just turning to your partner and saying, 'You're never going to believe what just happened!' Whether it's Dwarf Fortress, or whether it's The Sims or whatever it is, simulation can create some really fun experiences. Now that you're looking more towards the live sim genre, has there been a lot of iteration in it in from your point of view, or is there still room to do something new? Well, Paradox and Ron Humble just did a really neat . I mean, I thought that that take on that straight up life sim was unique. It's interesting to look at. There's a lot of village simulations, right? So I don't know if it's pejorative yet but cosy games, right? There's a sim-ish nature to that even down to Stardew and things like that. And then to see something like Dwarf Fortress go from ASCII to actual graphics and then seeing how popular that is, I think that there's been iteration. But definitely to me, I see an opportunity. As a designer, I see a lot of ways that I'd love to jump in and have my own take on this. SimmerErin recently published a video on the news: What do you think? Have you played any of his games? Personally, I find his background intriguing. I like that he stated that he's been focused on systems-building; this can lend itself to the life simulation genre. In the Sims series, I've always enjoyed in-depth gameplay systems. [UPDATE] Grant Rodiek (formerly SimGuruGrant is joining game) The Sims-like boom is real, and even an ex-XCOM dev is going all in Details about funding and how it will be different from The Sims as well as use of AI agents for NPCs 'Civilization,' 'XCOM' and 'The Sims' Vets Launch Game Developer Midsummer Studios With Funding From Trevor Noah's Day Zero ProductionsGame crashes while saving
Dude or dudette…I have been a fan since sims 2…however, I’m getting really sick and tired of not being able to play a game I’ve spent hundreds of my husbands dollars on, cause it crashes every time I save! I save to avoid losing game play when the game inevitably crashes, just for it to crash! It’s not right, and you know it. [CM edit - descriptive title and profanity]The Sims Medieval won't launch.
Stick with me, this is going to be long. I have been fighting with this issue for over a YEAR. In 2020, I had my two accounts merged because I didn't realize I had purchased games on separate accounts and it was tedious going between the two just to play games. In February 2024, I attempted to download The Sims Medieval (TSM) on a new computer (Macbook), and got the error message stating that the Installation Verification Failure after the game downloaded, loaded, and went to the main screen to start a new game. I tried re-downloading it on my Windows desktop and had the same issue. I opened a case and went through all the standard troubleshooting with no solution. My case was closed and I can't even see the conversation anymore on my end. Yesterday, I attempted to re-download the game on a brand new Windows computer. It downloaded, launches, loaded, and then gave the exact same error message. I have since cleared the cache 10+ times, repaired the game probably twice as many times. I've talked to about 5 support people because the chat kept closing or in one case, the chat agent closed my case while I was still explaining something. I have tried the powershell script method, didn't work. I have tried running the EA App and TSM as an administrator, didn't work. One of the support people had me go into my command prompts and try and run a DISM and SFC, didn't work. They had me try updating graphics card drivers, didn't work. How about updating the VC++ stuff, didn't work. I've tried explaining that I'm fairly sure this was due to my account merge since all of this happened AFTER I merged my accounts. No one would hear of it and basically ignored that. I pointed out that it was probably a licensing issue because of the merge and the last person said that doesn't happen, even though I've attempted to run the game on numerous computers and different operating systems. The support people failed to read any of my previous correspondence with other support agents so I have been repeating myself for over three hours now (just today) to get a solution. I am extremely frustrated and tired of being told to clear my freaking cache when I have obviously done that.
sims medieval. 64 bit. please.
it's 2026 and i'm back to make the same request. all i want is to play the sims medieval. oh dear new evil overlords of oil drilling and the kafala system please let me play this game i already own because i'm sure not giving you any other money thank you for your timeSuggestion for the new The Sims Game (Project Rene)
Best EA Community! The Sims is an amazing game and as a creative outlet, even when playing against/with NPC's. But I think that a comprehensive but smooth multiplayer experience would really change the gaming experience altogether... Designing and building a house that you can show off to real humans (as they visit it with their own Sims character) would really make it way more enjoyable. And of course to experience all the other interactions with other humans! Now I want the game to be just as comprehensive as when playing Single Player Mode, but with Multiplayer Mode! For instance if one player selected Fast Forward Mode, then the other players would get notified. And if all players selected Fast Forward Mode then the game would fast forward, until one player disengaged it. I would like to know if you guys know anything about how far Project Rene has come to achieve this! Thank you so much from the Kingdom of Sweden! /Andreas
