Love The Sims
Hello everyone I have a question regarding The Sims. I have been playing the game since 2003, and since I have seen different townies in the game, like the BFFs, landgrabbs, and pancakes. they are new to me. Can someone give me the whole scenario of the game? What happen to the other townies in the first game? The very first one. I still have the collection. Just thought maybe someone in the Sim world would know, and enlighten me. Thank you.
The Sims 1-2 Remasters (Thank you EA)
I'm happy that EA finally doing something about their retro titles that defined a generation. I visited the 2000s website you people created recently, feels like a awesome home I used to live there like decades ago which still welcomes me. Still remember my discs that I got as a promotion from PCGamer magazine, I did everything to ask my father to have him install on his IBM Thinkpad Windows XP laptop. God, that was awesome, having such power in my side felt like I can play anything on that laptop. Everyday after the college I used to play The Sims 1 with that AWESOME soundtrack. Windows 98/2000/XP was awesome. The Sims 1 was awesome. Y2K website is awesome I'm glad you folks re created it, there is even clicking sound when left click! The amount of good memories I got from Sims 1 are beyond limits in a good way. I even had the honour to play The Sims Medieval a few years later on Windows 7. Hope everything is going to be fine with the release soon and release on Steam and GOG. I doubt original devs still at the Maxis but still great to know EA have Maxis to remaster those awesome games. Don't change too much though, just make it work so we can play on Windows 10. Thank you and god bless, have it some time to Maxis so they can remaster properly! EA_David
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 Mafia
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 Video(Critical; severe; serious!) Greatly, no pay to win superbly demanded (Feedback)
Critically; severely; seriously, I and we greatly demand no pay to win in Project Rene, The Sims 5, and sequel, assuredly. Pay to win business is devastating video game. Pay to win is affecting video game unequal, unbalanced, and most terrible. Pay to win microtransaction is making video game play experience most terrible. Everyone must have same video game play experience, and equality. Everyone is equal. (Feedback, advice, and suggestion)
Can I get The Sims Medieval Deluxe Edition on EA App?
I'm looking for a Deluxe Edition of Sims Medieval on the EA App but I can't understand if they sell base game only or it comes with all expansion packs. I tried to search for Deluxe Edition on EA website: Buy The Sims Medieval™ - Electronic Arts, like someone in a forum mentioned,but I can't find anything related to 'Deluxe' on the page, in fact it says 'Base Game'. I know that I can get Deluxe Pack from Origin App, but I have some problems with my bank and currency that Origin offers me to buy a game. Do EA stop selling Deluxe Edition in they new app or do I need to get base game first and then it would opt me to get deluxe edition next?

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection crashing on Windows 11
I was asked by the support person to ask my question a second time in the forums, so forgive me please if you are seeing this twice. Case# 193462532. The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection is crashing on my new laptop which is a Windows 11 with 32gb memory Intel core i9 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU UHD graphics card. This game play just fine on my Windows 10 laptop, but not the new one. I have done the 4gb patch and tried to the best of my abilities to fix the executable according to directions on the web. I admit, I am not a networking person though. What I am experiencing is that the game will load and enter into neighborhoods, but as soon as you try to enter a lot that is populated, the game will crash or if you try to create a new sim in CAS the game will crash there as well. Build mode seems to work fine except the mouse is way too fast. I know the crash used to be an issue with windows 10 as well, but that seems to be working now with no issues. It is just the windows 11 where it crashes. I have reached out to tech support twice now. I have run the driver update and I have reached out to Microsoft support and NVidia support as well. Is there anyone who can help me get my game to run? I did get an email verifying the case and did post on the forums already, although I did not see my original post... so here it is again. The email said that the case would be closed if I did not reach out and say I still need help, that is why I bugged tech support the second time, who also asked me to post this in forums. so, I apologize if the second post for the same issue is causing problems.
