Wow a video just for you @charlotteprice <3 that is a lovely tribute to your kindness and as you said your love of this game :) . I will have to go find it :) I've seen some pretty incredible videos people have made- it just amazes me how they get their sims to move :p
I am soooo sorry to hear you were extremely disappointed with Sims 4, I can see why. I took advantage of the free game for 48 hours. My girls are playing it as well (way more than me!) but I was able to play a few hours last night and I must admit I was a little bored. I still don't have the hang of the camera and the mouse controls (very frustrating, must see if I can change that) and they changed where the queue is and the layout of all the informaton it was taking me forever to understand what what going on. My fault for starting with a family of six -lol. The aspiration choices and loading screens are very Sims 2 and I didn't like it when one sim went to the park and I couldn't see what the other simmies at home were doing. I'm going to have to mothelode because my sims have no money and I want to be able to see what they have and what they can do but can't afford to buy anything - lol! I really didn't know much about Sims 4 because as soon as I heard it was coming out, I seriously avoided the Sims website because I didn't want to hear another word about it. I was determined to wait on this one unlike Sims 3 and Sims 2, where I always went out and bought the game as soon as I had gotten the kiddos out the door, such good memories :blush: I was always so embarrased because I didn't think any adults played the game, just kids. So I would go into Best Buy and pretend I was picking it up for my son ;) It's so amazing to see so many "mature" players but I guess it makes sense since Sims 1 came out something like 15 years ago and Sim City (my first game) twenty years ago. Unfortunately with my strategy of avoiding the website, I also missed a year of free sim point ads but that's okay as I hope to save money when I do eventually buy it because it will have to be one of those mega bundles for cheap. I can't believe it's already been on sale several times. I don't think they did that with the other Sims games. But I could be wrong. I have managed to hold off buying it, but it was hard with the good deals over the holidays. But I have heard a lot of negative comments about it so that has helped my self control.
Did you get the digital Ultimate Sims 2 collection? Apparently Origin was giving them out last summer to customers who owned at least one digital copy of a Sims2 game when they announced that they were no longer supporting those games. I called EA back in December and managed to get myself a free copy. I haven't installed it as it's already on my pc but I'm keeping it so when and if I get a new computer I will use that because a couple of discs don't work anymore :(
Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. I was so tired this morning and just woke up from a nap on the couch, now my neck hurts - need to go find some back pain meds - ha ha - so much for the relaxing nap moodlet, its more like the Sims 4 "uncomfortable" mood. Thank you again for all the gifts <3 Happy Simming :)
*hugs*
