I just spent 10 minutes figuring out the forbidden word in a build and the word filter in my opinion is now officially ridiculous.
I am playing the game in Dutch and am not allowed to say 'naar' which means 'to'. It took a while to figure out because I never considered the filter banning a basic preposition. Even six year olds are allowed to read texts saying someone moved to a new home (in dutch naar een nieuw huis) . But in discriptions for the sims 4 gallery I am obvioulsly not allowed to say a sim moved to a new world.
The most irritating about this is that maxis doesn't comply to it's own rule. I found this because I wanted to save a maxis lot which I was editing and it was the default lot description put in by maxis that triggered the filter.
Some of the offenders are
- the strangerville library: English description 'where anyone can browse till their heart is content' which translates to 'waarin iedereen naar hartenlust in kan graven' and
- an empty lot in glimmerbrook that says 'Maybe they vanished into some other dimension?' which translates to Wellicht verdwenen naar een andere dimensie?
- the pub in henford on Bagley: description contains 'Head upstairs to watch a little football on the telly'. In Dutch this is 'Ga naar boven om een potje voetbal op televisie te kijken'
Clearly banning basic words like propositions a ridiculous rule because even maxis can't make texts without basic vocabulary. So why impose this rule on players while they ignore it themselves.
