MySims game blocked: prospecting fails in Town Square cave
Bug to track. If anyone has a workaround, I'd be delighted. EA support case number #229455444 iPad mini 6; iPadOS 26.1; Apple Arcade MySims Problem: Prospecting doesn't work in the cave in Town Center, which blocks me from completing the game Symptoms: After tapping the button to enter prospecting mode, I get the dark blue "nothing here" feedback circles everywhere in the cave. I can successfully prospect in the outside area near the Town Square orchard. Things I've tried: * creating a new character: all three of my save files have the same problem, which means they all are blocked from completing the game * restarting the app: no change * manually saving while in the cave: no change * getting closer to the prospecting crystal start object or changing my orientation before entering prospecting mode: no change Oddity: Prospecting succeeded for my second character immediately after opening the cave. But the next time I visited the cave, prospecting failed as described above. Attachment: zip file containing the three save files located in iCloud. First try is save location #3, second try is save location #1, third try is file #2.

How Many Plan on Buying Paralives vs TS5?
Now that Paralives is an actual real thing people won't have to deny it anymore (Steam has a whole page dedicated to it) will you buy it and or continue to wait on TS5's possible MMO? After reading all the job openings for Maxis new AAA game, it's very possible (looking like it's true) that TS5 will probably be multiplayer in some form or fashion..will you jump ship with Maxis?
How long have you been playing The Sims (any version) for?
I've been playing for 15+ years and have played and transitioned to all versions 1,2,3,4. After playing all these years this game holds a special place in my heart 💗. It sounds corny but this game has been there with me through many different (some difficult) stages of my life and has been my creative outlet to get through some of these stages.
the sims medieval is unplayable
so far, with every quest i've encountered, there has been a bug that has made it impossible to progress. made the mistake of decorating my own castle, because that made the messenger post UNUSABLE. got the responsibility to send a guildmaster to the stocks, had them there but the game didn't register it thus FAILING it. tried to marry my build master, but kept getting cold feet because i dared to NOT use the church despite the game telling me it was an option. somehow fixed that just to have my husband UNABLE TO COME TO THE CASTLE to consummate the marriage. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE. the game has been out for over a decade and there's still bugs? are you not embarrassed?!? and to add insult to injury, the amount of time I WASTED trying to fix these problems, i've now played it past the hours allowing me to RETURN THIS ABHORRENT MESS to get my MONEY BACK. shame on you, EA. shame on you.Looking for people to take a Sims 4 UI survey!
Hello! I am currently taking a UX design course and I’m looking for Sims 4 players of all experience levels to share quick feedback on how you feel about the current UI and tutorials/onboarding. I'm analyzing what players currently like or dislike about the UI, navigation, and tutorial and how that may be improved. There are 10 questions and the length is about 5–10 minutes. Responses are anonymous — the link is below. https://uwmadison.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Kz5ojW1kqOHUYm Thanks! (moving this from the Feedback forum to General Discussion because I feel that's more appropriate)
What 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 MafiaNew Sims Card Game: Coming December 1
Goliath Games has announced a new card game inspired by the popular game series “The Sims,” featuring the iconic language of gibberish known to fans as Simlish. YaGoBuGi is a card-based game of real-time communication and negotiation where players must speak solely in Simlish based on the cards in their hands. It’s a rapid-fire game style, with no turns and no waiting, making for a game filled with silly conversations that sound just like the original games. “Simlish has always been part of the fun and laughter that make The Sims so special,” said Lyndsay Pearson, VP of Franchise Creative at The Sims. “Through YaGoBuGi, we wanted to bring that Simlish charm into a card game that’s easy to pick up, makes people smile and lets Simmers old and new connect over the language we all love.” https://www.giftsanddec.com/trending-gifts/kids/the-sims-fans-can-embrace-the-simlish-language-with-new-game-from-goliath/Sims Midieval Doesn't work
Purchased a few days ago, I did all the basics, uninstall and reinstall, the repair the app offers. Tried the powershell script fix I found online which managed to get the game to launch, but not smoothly. The lag was so bad it was basically non functional (weird because my PC handles TS4 with every expansion and zero lag or even load time.) Tried to get a refund but couldn't, since it's technically been launched. I even tried the Alder Lake patch but that's a no as well. Any advice? Or is this just a loss
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 VideoBring back spin off versions of Sims
Growing up I absolutely loved playing The Sims but my fondest memories aren’t from the main game itself, it was from playing Sims Urbz, Bustin out, Castaway and all the other brilliant spin off versions of the game, they were absolutely brilliant and worth every penny. considering EA has just announced they will not be making a Sims5 when people have spent so much money on Sims4 already which is fair but I think this opens up the opportunity to create these spin-off versions once again as I know for a fact I would buy them just for the nostalgia on its own. This is something I strongly believe should be considered for future content!
