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 Mafia3KViews11likes456CommentsChange One Word Game

The Sims 2: Castaway re-release?
Since it seems EA has been trying to make older Sims titles available for purchase on newer platforms, The Sims, The Sims 2 and the My Sims series of games. I really hope EA considers re-releasing The Sims 2 Castaway. It was a really underrated gem on the PS2/Wii and really deserves the re-release treatment so new players can experience it. I doubt anybody with enough pull to make this happen will ever read this but I'm really hoping this post helps get the idea to someone at EA!PliskinYT13 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer32Views2likes1Comment- 2.2KViews1like63Comments
Can't access saves in menu (Sims Medieval)
I'm on PC, using the latest BS Windows (Windows 11, version 24H2) has put out and now Sims Medieval is not accessing my saves. I can open the game, start a new game, play the game and even save the game but once I leave and come back the save is nowhere to be found on the menu. I know I have the save. I see it in my files! The game even tells me I can't name my save the same thing as a file that already exists. I've had a save on there before it worked and was fine but that before the update in 2024. I haven't played in a really long time so I'm thinking it's the Windows 11, version 24H2 that's the problem. I just want to know if I need to downgrade to windows 10 again. Unfortunately, I don't know if or what version Medieval worked with Windows 11. I also can't remember this being a problem before but it always was I just got lucky before. What I've tired that did not work: looking for answers here but can't find my specific problem. uninstalling and reinstalling the game moving my saves around starting new saves (no save file is ever found on the menu) cleared caches repair in EA launcher tried renaming the file (worked but then the same issue occurred after trying to save it again) I'm not sure what else to do other then getting windows 10 back on my PC but I'd rather not do that if there's another fix.Bubblezwitch4 days agoSeasoned Newcomer49Views0likes1CommentHow 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.simmemoirs5 days agoSeasoned Hotshot49Views1like2Comments- SEREFRAS6 days agoLegend14Views0likes0Comments
When will you abandon playing The Sims?
It was suggested to me that people over the age of 30 should not be playing The Sims. At what age will you be when you decide you are too old to play The Sims? For reference, I am over 50, and love the game, and have no intention of abandoning playing :)gertie477 days agoSeasoned Veteran130Views1like9CommentsWhen Was The Last Time You [Vol. 2]
So just like Vol 1, this will be a question and answer game. You ask a "When was the last time you"... question, and the next person will answer, then ask his or her own "when was the last time you" question. As before, if you haven't done something you can say "I've never done that," or something similar, and still ask a question. Here we go...(again) When was the last time you spent way too much time perfecting your Sim (down to detail) in Create-a-Sim?BadArkane10 days agoSeasoned Ace3.2KViews1like349Comments- 87Views1like1Comment
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?46KViews1like1171CommentsKRAFTON'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!

I've been playing Sims since I was in grade school, and right now, I'm nearly in my 30s lol. This has been my go-to game whenever I'm happy or sad. I remember playing Sims Castaway with my PS2 way back. Since then, I discovered that I love nature. Growing up, I tended to find myself at peace whenever I was on our farm, planting veggies and fruits, and harvesting them. And I always daydream that I am in Castaway every time I am in the ocean, and right now I'm doing freediving :) <3 I just realized that Sims Castaway has a huge contribution to who I am now. I'm writing this letter or whatever to thank you for creating Sims, especially Sims Castaway. I just hope that you can also have this gameplay available on PC, because it's hard to find a PS2 right now. PS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Sims Castaway in PC :)ff8523e6fee8238020 days agoSeasoned Newcomer28Views1like0Comments
