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

Bring back The Sims & The Sims 2!
I have lots of great memories playing The Sims and The Sims 2. It would be great to see them made available on the EA App so we don't have to worry about old discs and compatibility mods. Please release the legacy titles once again! 🙏

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!

The Sims 1, 2 and 3 Remastered and released for consoles
we have no access to Sims 1 and 2 on PC, Sims 3 doesn't work well and needs a remaster desperately (it doens't even run with 64bit on Windows), the only Sims game avaliable on modern consoles is The Sims 4, the PC versions of Sims 1, 2 and 3 never came to consoles, there are a lot of people who play this franchise on consoles and they never had the opportunity to play original sims titles and its DLCs, it would be a good 25th birthday gift to the fans to remaster these beloved titles and bring them to more people on consoles, with all its DLCs and would also be a good financial opportunity for Maxis and EA to sell these DLCs for people outside of the PC space (Sims 3 for example, avaliable on PC right now, but people on console don't have a way to purchase it and its DLCs) would also be interesting to bring back console titles to modern consoles via emulation, games like The Sims Bustin' Out, The Urbz, Sims 2 Castaway, Sims 2 Pets and Sims 2 PSP should be preserved, Maxis doesn't have a good track record when it comes to game preservation, and it's free money on the table for them, cause i would purchase them on my PS5 without thinking twice

PLEASE RECONSIDER TS5 PART 2
i don't mean to complain, but I'm tired of buying game packs that are a little plain, i def think that collab with moders will be more effective, because these are real people that actually understand human experiences, not saying you all don't but it would make a difference. It's frustrating having to search for mods to fit gameplay, I think that sims 5 will give a fresh perspective. Tossing the sims 5 ideas too early and not considering how it will work would be a big mistake. Can we figure out how to include things that should be in base games, such as drivable cars many more things that i can't even list cause it's a lot. I heard a lot more people give sims 2 more credit than sims 4 and that's sad to me. So please reconsider the sims 5 for your franchise sake, because this will def get more people invested. Please go back to that drawing board and figure out ways on how the community can save more money in our pockets please please please!!!!!!

The grand sequel to: "The first one to page 100 wins!"
One forum later, and this game is still in motion! No longer are we going to just a new page after hitting a record of Page 2207. We're now going for the first to be the 75000th poster! The same rule applies like the original. No double posting and please keep it PG. Let the games begin once more!

The Art of Sims Storytelling
Hi guys! @CathyTea and I were talking, and we thought we'd try making a thread that would be focused solely on writing, especially Sims story writing. The writers' lounge thread is great for being a lounge, but a separate space for more in-depth discussions with a slower pace and less immediate burying of posts could be good too. :) I'm not good at making lists and rules, but here are some suggestions for things to talk about here: the process of writing Sims stories the Sims story community how Sims literature fits into the greater literature community how we use the game as a medium for storytelling the imagery and themes in our work, and also possibly how they are influenced by the game what it means to be a reader of Sims literature the expectations or lack thereof that we have of Sims stories the history of Sims storytelling and all the genres and their relationships to each other and really just anything else you can think of that has to do with writing and reading and community and art and literature I want to emphasize that this thread is open to everyone, no matter what and how you write. I've learned in the last few years that sometimes stuff like this can intimidate people, but we are definitely not trying to be elitist or pretentious or intimidating or anything here. Everyone is welcome, and everyone, from people who just read Sims stories to people who write commentary legacies to people who write hardcore Simlit, has something to contribute. I hope we have fun here! :)

Weather System Make more types of wind: Level 0 is for no wind, Level 1 for gentle wind, Level 2 for strong wind, Level 3 for typhoon. Make petals fall in spring and leaves in autumn, like rain and snow. World System Make it an open world, or not. If it is an open world, make it not The Truman Show.

Make the number of languages which Sims speak as many as the number of languages supported by The Sims 5. Make 1st language be English. Make 2nd language and 3rd language selectable, such as Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, etc. Sims who can speak foreign languages can communicate with foreign Sims. Sims can sue other Sims. Build System Add half-tile walls and platforms, walls and platforms with a height of 0.125 times, walls and platforms hanging down from the ceiling, buildable prominent window sills, vertical sloping walls and platforms (22.5 degree per rotation), rain gutters, more styles of single-tile sliding doors and functions of rotating objects horizontally and vertically in a discontinuous manner (22.5 degree per rotation). 0 Rabbit Holes Don't make any rabbit holes, such as tree houses, public toilets, tramcars, primary schools and all jobs. Make the interiors of subways, ships, planes, subway stations, seaports and airports visible.

Sims can put the wooden boards, foods and drinks in the cabinets or take off them or change them. Add more styles of wind bells, usable telephones, usable hand fans and desk fans. Allow more kinds of objects, like TVs, to be placed on various tables and floors. Make acuum cleaners, brooms, dustpans, mops, buckets, napkins, feather dusters, washing machines and drying racks in the base game. Make houses and clothes more and more dirty after some time even without buying acuum cleaners and washing machines. Make the appearance of a house that is not inhabited for a long time become older and older. Others Except premade households, don't make it automatically generate citizens or NPCs, even if NPC may be not enough. Canceling the cheat system makes the game more fun. Make it The Sims Home Edition for players who don't need cheats and The Sims Professional Edition for players who do need cheats. Cancel the function of easily transferring funds and family members between families. Make players cannot switch family members easily after entering a household. Quit asking players, make us must go to work and school personally with the currently controlled Sim. Cancel the outlines around Sims and objects when the mouse pointer points to them. Make it no longer cause mutual penetration and superposition between Sims. In life mode, expand the first person perspective based on the room size as soon as we enter a room and cancel the wall cutting, while build mode is not affected by this.

An Important Update on the Future of These Forums
Sul Sul Simmers, We have an important announcement to share regarding the future of The Sims Forums. Over the past 14 years we’ve been lucky enough to share this forum destination with you as a place to discuss The Sims across various titles, share your screenshots, feedback, guides, and most importantly, tell your stories. These forums are showing their age, and are no longer representative of the community experience we wish to share with you. After careful consideration, we have decided to close The Sims Forums by July 2024 and replace it with a new forums site - to be called EA forums - going live this July. Rest assured, select content from The Sims Forums will be carried over to this new site and the migration criteria for the content can be found below. This move aims to provide you with a more seamless and engaging environment to connect, share, and collaborate with fellow players, and the EA Community team. I speak for the team when I share that we all look forward to continuing our relationship together on our new site in July. Please read more below about timing and next steps to take when posting to the forums. -@EA_Cade What’s Happening Next The Sims Forums will remain open to you until July 2024 when EA forums launches. Please make note of the following dates and instructions from now until we’re live on the new site: Any content posted on The Sims Forums after March 12, 2024 will NOT be migrated over to the new EA forums. We’ll migrate content posted between October 18, 2022 and March 12, 2024 in addition to select content from the nominations thread mentioned below. We will make every effort to ensure that data will port over. If you’ve posted on The Sims Forums and you want to ensure your content is available on the new EA forums site, please follow the steps below. If you have an AHQ account, you will be able to use it on EA forums when the new site goes live. All badges and ranks from The Sims Forums will not be ported over to the new forum site. Participants with an AHQ account will continue to retain AHQ stats. We will however be looking to implement ways to highlight your contributions from The Sims Forums. In July 2024, The Sims Forums will be permanently closed and will no longer be accessible. Anyone trying to access The Sims Forums using the original URL will be redirected to The Sims section on the new EA forums site. Also, we’d love to invite you to join our recently created Discord community, where we host monthly events, shell challenges, support multiple languages, and host plenty of Sims discussions. Join here: www.discord.gg/TheSims. The Migration of Threads from The Sims Forums to the New EA forums To preserve the legacy of The Sims Forums, we will be automatically migrating threads that feature activity and were created after The Sims 4 base game went free to play on October 18, 2022 up until March 12, 2024. If there’s a thread created before Oct. 18, 2022 you’d like to nominate for migration, please nominate it here. If the author of any thread does not have their original post migrated, none of the replies to that post will migrate either. Additionally, any uploaded images, videos, or GIFs will not be migrated over. If you linked something via URL, that URL will be migrated over. Any content that’s important to you can be manually copied and pasted to the AHQ Sims forums If you do not wish to have your content migrated to the new EA forums, or for any questions or concerns related to forum privacy, please see our privacy policy here. How to Ensure Your Content from The Sims Forums Will Be Migrated Over Please check the email address(s) associated with your The Sims Forums account. Is this the same email address on your EA account? If no, please proceed to step 2 If yes, please jump ahead to step 3 If the email on your The Sims Forums account does not match the email on your EA account OR if you do not have an EA account, please modify the email addresses to ensure they are matching on both accounts OR please create an EA account with a matching email address. Please ensure you have an account on Answers HQ. You can do so by signing in or registering on Answers HQ with your EA account. Your account on Answers HQ will be carried over to the new EA forums site. Once this is complete and you’ve ensured your The Sims Forums and EA accounts have matching email addresses AND that you’ve signed into Answers HQ with your EA account, then your The Sims Forums content will be migrated over onto the new forums site whenever it goes live and the content will be associated with your forums account. Please complete these steps before March 7 to ensure your forum content is migrated. Update: There was some confusion about what content will be migrating to the EA forums automatically, so we've put together some examples below: Will migrate (does not need to be nominated here): Thread created on November 1, 2022 (entire thread & comments) Thread created on September 1, 2018 with a comment from January 6, 2023 (entire thread & comments) Thread created on February 3, 2021 with an edit from October 4, 2023 (entire thread & comments) Will not migrate unless nominated here (nothing posted after March 12th will migrate to the new EA forum due to data processing timeframes): Thread created on November 5, 2020 with no activity between October 18, 2022 and March 12, 2024 (no comments and/or no edits) Thread created on April 10, 2024 Comment added to a thread on April 1, 2024

RENE IS NOT SIMS 5
We need to stop calling it that. It is clear with the latest BTS that this game will be a spinoff similar to Life Stories for Sims 2 or Sims Medieval. Calling it Sims 5 is just going to make more and more people upset when we start learning more information on this game. It's better to settle expectations now.

Sims game for Builders - Cross Between SimCity & the Sims
I would be happy if the next iteration of the Sims was a release targeted to builders where you don't have to control the Sims. A cross between SimCity and the Sims but focused on building lots as well as manipulating the terrain and managing interconnected worlds but not like how you managed a city in SimCity. Something where we have unique building tools can create rounded walls etc. Just a haven for builders and then we can determine the type of world - geek, hippy, spiritual, magic, Eco, whatever, and the game moves in sims that occupies the builds and we watch what happens. We can determine disaster protocol, but don't need to micromanage. I just want to build, Safaris, homes, corporate centers, marine worlds, just build. what y'all think?

As the year is slowly but surely coming to an end, it's time to kick off another round of a great tradition on the forum: 12 Days of Simsmas In honour of EA_Mai, I shared her wonderful picture from the 12 Days of Simsmas 2 years ago. For the next 12 days - starting from December 22 and going until January 2 - we will add a new challenge every day to the list below. You can join in for the ones you like or you can try and complete them all! But don't worry if you don't have the time to get to each challenge on the day it is posted. If you want to give it a go, you can do that at any point! All these challenges can be completed using the Sims 4 base game and the Holiday Celebration free pack content - but, of course, you can use any packs you want. Most of the tasks can also be completed in any version of The Sims. Have fun! :smiley: Day 1 of Simsmas - Simsmassy Avatars Day 2 of Simsmas - Simsmassy Screenshots Day 3 of Simsmas - Sharing Simsmas Kindness Day 4 of Simsmas - Simsmassy Builds Day 5 of Simsmas - Simsmas Present Hunt Day 6 of Simsmas - Simsmas Storytime!

Sims 5 Rene Open World Concept - Map Segments
Sims 5 Rene should have a new concept: a jigsaw puzzle of "world" components. In this model, each numbered component of the map is your world: e.g. Sims 2 Pleasantview, Sims 3 Sunset Valley, and Sims 4 Willow Creek. Each of these "puzzle piece" segmented worlds would be OPEN and all of the families are simulated, Sims 3 style. Like Sims 3, you can press a button and zoom out to see a full 3D rendering of this world map segment. But only this map segment. Other worlds are the other numbered pieces. They are not fully simulated at the same time if you're not in that world. Why? It's not scalable with additional added worlds in DLC. But all worlds in the global map have basic story progression including aging (if you want that). You can have long distance relationships with Sims across the worlds and invite them over. Having your Sims travel from one world puzzle piece to another happens by going to a train station rabbit hole and waiting through a loading screen - you don't instantly warp to another lot in a different world because that other world is not loaded yet like your current world. Other worlds, including those in DLC, are a new numbered "puzzle pieces" that expand your map. Advantages include: open world for your active household interconnected with ability to have long-distance relationships across worlds ability to travel to another open world via a loading screen immersive: you can't instantly warp from a coastal Brindleton Day to an isolated Strangetown Desert without boarding a train and traveling, just like real life scalable as you can add new worlds but still run well as only one world is simulated at a time added LORE and universe-building by displaying multiple worlds as a unified concept
