Just a suggestion
IDK but to me it seems like we do need that change to the Sims now to where they can actually speak English and not gibberish now that's not to say that the gibberish is not iconic for the Sims it really makes up the characters but In my opinion alone I think the company should switch the Sims to talking plain English now but only try it on 1 platform which should be for the PC if you transition the Sims this way into proper English talking with different voices to choose from I think you'd stand to make more money 🤑 and open the future sums up for other platforms to make even more games just like it if it works out.

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 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???[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
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
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??Game 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 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.

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 timeThe 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.Suggestion 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! /AndreasThe 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.
For “The Next Evolution of The Sims” Aka Project X or Sims 5
So I was reading EA basically confirming the rumors in PR speak about what is likely Project X. I would like to make a few suggestions for the upcoming project. Presuming it will be a Sims 4 replacement (which is still undetermined) I have my wishes, which I made into a magnum opus post about a year or so ago. I'll give the abridged list. Here are my prioritized wish list Base Game Open World Should be big enough to add lots when new packs come out Lots can be moved and will snap to road if adjacent Lots can snap to each other Ex: Large Lot with a Mansion and smaller Lot to add a Hedge Maze Open Water for Swimming & Boating Specificity in Community Lot Window Lot & Sub Lot Categories - I don't want something to just say "Bar" I would like the Bar Type to be in the Drop Down Description. I'd also like a small variation in the Lot Thumbnail similar to Sims 3 Bar Billards Bar Dive Bar Karaoke Bar Piano Lounge Pub Ice Bar Vampire Lounge Community Lot Information Window Address Hours of Operation Ownership Lot Traits Color Wheel & Create A Pattern - Sims 3 level of Customization for objects EX: Bed Customizable Sections Bed Curtain (If Applicable) Bed Frame Pillows Sheets Bedspread Bed Skirt Seasons Basics Similar to Sims 2 - planned Climates/Seasons per world This will greatly enhance the ambiance of the various worlds Temperature - That effects Sims AND Pets Temperature Display Range of Comfort Ailments & Illness Due to Weather Alleriges Freezing Heat Exhaustion Heat Stroke Hit By Hail Struck by Lightning Basic Weather - with new weather types introduced in subsequent pack as it pertains to the pack. Base Game Weather Hot Summer Nighttime - Heat Lightning Overcast Rain Hail Shower Thunderstorms Snow Average Blizzards Wind Storm Weather in EPs Acid Rain Desert - Sandstorm Dust Devil Fog in Creepy Worlds & Seaports Light Pea Soup Monsoon Smog Thundersnow Moon Cycle - Of minor importance, but if its in Base Game early on, there can be all kinds of fun, quirky things added that the moon can effect over time. The Cycle Itself Players can set the Lunar Cycle Eclipses Solar Eclipses - Sims watching with the special glasses Lunar Eclipses Full Moon Ghosts appear in larger numbers Mermaids must return to the water Old wives tales speak of interesting behavior by the mad during a full moon Special Treasures and Secret Places become Visible Werewolves uncontrollably change Zombies appear in force on Full Moons New Moon Ambient Light during a New Moon being lower than any other phase Burglars choosing the New Moon for break ins over Full Moons Fairies are at their lowest power-wise Several Occults and magic in general are effected by the moon phases Moon Bathing CAS Body Details Beauty Marks Body Hair Freckles Scars Tattoos & Piercings - I'm actually ok with them being in their own Game Pack. Tattoo Parlor Community Lot Tattoo Artist Career Tattoo Station Greater Customization & Body Placement Larger Amount of Designs Hair - Similar to Sims 3 broken down by section for color customization Root Shaft End Eye Color Customizable Finger Nails & Toe Nails 5-10 Basic Colors & Shapes and French Manicure are fine in BG with new and more interesting designs and colors in later packs Colors sets per outfit Day Spa Community Lot Game Pack Adds Day Spa & Yoga Studio Community Lots Yoga can be done at a Day Spa but the additional lot type adds flexibility for the player. Adds Relaxing Lot Traits New Age Radio Station All the expected Spa Experiences Ear Cleaning - Very Popular in the east Facials Feet Washing Guided Meditation Mani/Pedis Massages Aroma Therapy Choice Lavender Mint & Rosemary Neroli Sandalwood Vanilla Ylang Ylang Types Foot Full Body Hand Head Massage Styles (Choice of Aroma Therepay) Acupressure Deep Tissue Hot Stone Sports Massage Swedish Sauna & Hot Tub Wraps Seaweed Vocal Accenting & Walking Pace Make Up & Jewelry & Accessories - Set Per Outfit Hats Ascot Cap Balaclava Baseball Cap Beanie Beret Boater Boble Bonnet Boonie Bowler Bucket Campaign Cartwheel Chef's Toque Chupalla Cloche Conical Cowboy Hat Custodian Deerstalker Do-Rag Fascinators Fedora Fisherman's Cap Flat Cap Fez Hard Hat Homburg Newsboy Panama Phrygian Pillbox Pith Helmets Pork Pie Sailor Safari Sombrero Straw Tam O'Shanter Taqiyah Top Hat Trapper Hat Trilby Turban Turban for Ladies/Sleeping Umbrella Ushanka Visor Witch Hat Yarmulke Zucchetto Jewelry Categories Anklets Arm Bands Bracelets & Cuffs Earrings Necklaces Piercings Rings Rings set per finger Toe Rings Makeup Categories Base Blush Eyebrow Eyeliner Full Face Lipstick & Lip Liner Mascara/Lashes Full Face Makeup Ex: Clown Geisha Military Camouflage Mime Rain Gear & Cold Weather Gear are SEPARATE CLOTHING CATEGORIES!!! 2 to 3 Planned Looks for Each Category Sims & Pets Costume Tab - Planned Costumes for Parties 2 to 3 Planned Looks Sims & Pets Traits & Preferences Diet should be separate from all traits Omnivore Pescatarian Vegan Vegetarian Basic Preferences - I really liked the variety of Sims 4 Preferences like design styles for Clothing & Decor.

It’s a pain in Sims 4 to find particular recipes between this and Cooking/Gourmet Recipes Charisma Cleaning - Hidden Skill Cooking - No Additional Gourmet Category just set the recipes according to an established level of skill. Some recipes are more difficult that others that is just common sense Computer Programming Dance I think this is a form of exercise that should improve Athletics simultaneously I’d pick two Dance Styles and add new ones in later packs so that we have variety Viennese Waltz should be in BG Dances in EPs & GPs Argentinian Tango Ballet Hula Salsa Tap Driving - Mini Skill Fishing - All Styles Crabbing Deep Sea Fishing Ice Fishing Spear Fishing Floral Arranging Gardening & Horticulture All Planting and Harvesting Improves this Handiness Electrical, Appliance Repair and Plumbing are apart of handiness as is traditional Tuning Instruments should improve Handiness Bring Back Upgrades Automotive Maintenance should be a separate but related skill Woodworking should be separate but related skill.

New Breeds coming in Updates and later packs especially if the breeds are from the general area a new world introduces. Cats & Dogs should have clothing categories of their own Rain Gear Cold Weather Collars Should have a Lot of Fun Designs how about doing a collaboration with Foggy Dog Costumes Swimming & Boating Gear Work Uniforms Dogs should come in 5 breed sizes Xtra Small - Chihuahuas & Yorkies Small - Cavaliers, Mini Schnauzers Medium - Standard Schnauzers Large - Labradors, German Shepherds X-tra Large - Great Danes Temperature should effect pets in interesting ways Cats & Dogs loving the Fireplace when its burning Snow being enjoyable to some pets and others are like, nope Pet jobs should make a come back Acting Farm & Ranch Military Police Search & Rescue Therapy Veterinarian should be a Medical Career Sims 4 had as a skill and that was dumb Community Lots we should have Associated with Pets Cat Cafe Dog Park Grooming Spa Pet Cemetery Pet Store Vet Clinic NPC Animals Types Birds - with exception to Pet birds would be fine if they were confined Bird Baths Feeders The Sky as an animation Chipmunks & Squirrels - Its fine if they are similar to Sims 3 Deer Dolphin Fox Owls Rabbits Sea Rays Sea Turtles Skunk Wolves Special Notes Please make them move, sound and act just like their real life counterparts. Please don't make them Dog or Cat clones. They shouldn't totally have to be tied to an object They should reside where it would be realistic and beneficial to have them Occults - I don’t mind them being in different packs as long as they are thoroughly fleshed out. Powers and abilities being a learned tiered things was genius Vampires - Sims 4 was just about perfect in terms of powers, weaknesses, and look. Here is the only suggestions I would make. Keep the all the Sims 4 Powers and most especially Speed Strength Bat Form Mist Form Vampires should abhor Silver. Wearing silver should make them smoke the same as sunlight. Cannot enter unless invited Evil Vampires should wilt flowers in passing and scare animals. According to lore hunters used to use pure white horses to find their graves. How about an aversion to white horses and unicorns. Eclipsing Fog from Sims 3 should be a Vampire Power The two different styles of teeth was perfect. Nosferatu Fangs vs normal fangs Vampire should have a boost in learning Alchemy like in Sims 3 Evil Vampires should respond to the Question of where did you go to University with Scholomance, which is where Dracula is said to have been taught Keep the garlic, the wreaths and garlands, the scent and the Vampire Aversion Consider adding Bat Houses with bat animations at dawn and dusks with Bat SFX Always have Graveyards & Cemetery Lots (there is a subtle difference between the two) Tomb Rabbit Hole Once in a while a Sims 3 World Adventures style tomb to discover Spell Casters /Witches I’d make the spells/powers more exciting Spell Classes - Were a great idea just need more classes Add Enchanting & Divination Enchanting & Cursing Objects Enchanting adds benevolent spells Cursing add malevolent spells "Bad Luck" - Cursed Item cause things to break in the house "Lord of the Flies" - Causes a Fly infestation which has the potential to cause a Fly Swarm death "Haunted Host" - Cursed Item draws a poltergeist to the lot Familiars should have had more going on with them. You couldn’t even talk to them or interact in a meaningful way. I think Alignments from Sims 2 should return along with spells and familiars exclusive to each Alignment. There can be other familiars bonded with (like family Pet’s) however the three listed are exclusive Owls - Neutral Ravens - Evil Phoenix - Good Dueling should not be exclusive to Witches, it should take place between all magic users. Sims 3 had the best Magic Store. I’m bored of kiosks. I think not only would it be cool to have a separate Alchemy Skill to make potions, I also think crafting and Enchanting our own wands would be more fun. I’d bring back the Fortune Teller Career back with any witch pack Caravan Caravan Radio Channel Fortune Teller Services Astrology Aura Reading Crystal Ball Divination Gris-Gris Bags & Charms Against Occults Love Potion #9 Medium Skill Palmistry Tarot Reading Tasseography Werewolves I'd give a bit more flexibility to designing the Ears & Snout. Perhaps with allowing a bit more length to them Like Vampires Werewolves have an aversion to Silver Hotels Community Lot Type & Booking Window and a very basic Front Desk & Hotel Door and Concierge NPC should be added to Base Game. This is so that at least very basic hotels can be added to any vacation style world. All the perks of running a hotel should be in the game pack Maid Service Custom Room Service Menu & Room Service Delivery Themed, beautiful Front Desks Various kinds of Rooms, Suites and Villas Hotel Rating System Uniform Setting Hiring/Firing Amenities & Multi Function Capability Locking Hotel Doors Elevators Tropical Vacations & other Beaches Activities Beach Bonfires Beach Clean Up Beach Combing & Metal Detecting Sea Glass Sea Shells Boating House Boats Kayaks & Canoes Sail Boats Fire Knife & Hula Dancing Fishing Crabs & Lobsters Deep Sea Oysters & Clams Spear Fishing Harvestables (Tropical) Bananas Coconuts Mangoes Papayas Pineapples Hiking to Volcanos Hot Coal Walk Protecting Sea Turtles was a grand Idea Sandcastles for Children, Sand Sculptures for Adults Sunbathing Tanning & Sunburns Surfing & Windsurfing Scuba Diving & Snorkeling Diving for Pearls Spear Fishing Treasure Diving Underwater Archeology Swimming with Dolphins Sea Rays Sharks Holiday Game/Stuff Packs Should not be the end all be all of when we get Holiday Items. Update! All Xmas Trees should be trimmable Different themed looks New looks come free around Xmas time. Present Wrapping should match Color Schemes Blue, Silver Gold, Silver Red, Black, Gold Red, Green Styles Flocked Sage Green, Rose, White Goth Rustic Buffalo Check Plaid, Brown Paper Lights Warm Clear Lights Green Multi Red Mantles should be able to support Stockings Holiday Lights would be grand to get new color combinations for different holidays All One Color Baby Blue Baby Pink Blue Clear (Cool) Clear (Warm) Green Hot Pink Lavender Orange Purple Red Yellow Two Color Combos Baby Blue & Clear (Warm) Baby Pink & Clear (Warm) Blue & Clear (Warm) Green & Clear (Warm) Hot Pink & Clear (Warm) Orange & Purple Orange & Yellow Purple & Green Red & Clear (Warm) Red & Green Three Color Baby Blue, Blue, Clear (Warm) Baby Blue, Baby Pink, Clear (Warm) Baby Pink, Red, Clear (Warm) Blue, Clear (Warm), Green Clear (Warm), Green, Red Green, Purple, Yellow Red, Clear (Warm), Blue Red, Orange, Yellow Red, Purple, Blue Rainbow Holiday Lights should come in Sims 4 Styles Chaser Lights Icicle Large BulbsThe Sims Bustin Out (GBA): Zodiac Statue & Bumpin' Beach Ball
Hello, this is a very old, but truly beautiful game and maybe there is still a chance to get help with that game. I try to get all objects in that game but I just can't seem to complete the ingame catalog. According to the english official strategy guide, I'm missing two objects: the Zodiac Statue (catalog: 'Decoration') and the Bumpin' Beach Ball (catalog: 'Recreation'). The official guide states that both are "R," meaning rare. The guide says that the statue is zodiac-specific and, along with the Zodiac Recliner, which I was able to find, is the second bonus item in the game. The statue is supposed to appear 'very rarely' in the shops. The ball is listed in the objectlist in the strategy guide with a value of § 29. Both shops and Giuseppi's van are restocked at midnight. So, I saved in the area in front of Giuseppi at 11:58 PM, went to him, checked his objects and the objects of both shops: No Ball, no Zodiac Statue. I then quit the game and restart it to repeat the process. I've done this hundreds of times without finding the statue and the ball. Only all the other items keep reappearing. Does anybody know the solution how to get the Zodiac Statue and the Bumpin' Beach Ball? After 23 years... Best regards, ChristianSims 5 expansion pack ideas part one
EA and Maxis, if you're reading this, consider these TS5 ideas. And we really need a Sims 5 so PLEASE release it. The Sims 5: City Life Experience a city life with your Sims in New York inspired Glassbolt. Work your way up from an apartment filled with mice, water leaks, and power outages to an expensive penthouse overlooking all of Glassbolt. Try new city foods, visit neighbors, and get a high end job in City Life. Other city activities include cleaning up graffiti and selling items on the streets of Glassbolt. I think the Sims 5 really will need a city expansion pack to thrive and earn money, so this is one I'm suggesting for TS5. The Sims 5: Professions And Businesses In this pack, Sims can join professions including paramedic, chef, and carpenter. (Hopefully all Sims 5 careers will be professions so we can experience the job) Level up in your career and experience the ups and downs of professions. On the other hand, help your Sims design many types of businesses and run these, helping customers, stocking shelves, and hiring employees to work for you. Build your profession or business empire and make those simoleons! I think people will want a business system to be in TS5 so you can customize every aspect and create a perfect business
