Sumabitaboveaverage, Brand names not written in Simlish and the new bugs.

In my opinion, the new patch really freaking... stinks.
All it did is fix few bugs and introduce new ones! Like bugged doors, Sims stealing food, Sims becoming idle and I guess just for me, few performance issues.
Then comes the Mosquito hoodie, that looks cool on itself, if it wasn't for the non-Simlish brand name, I mean, why create a fictional language for your game, if you're not gonna use it? Same goes for "It gets better", why isn't it written in Simlish? Laziness? Forgetfulness? Genuine "I don't care about this patch because it's so minor"?
And then Island Living. I have to say, the new expansion pack is preety above average, it really isn't that game changing, when it comes to patches, Seasons would be Salt and pepper, it's basic, but bring some nice flavor into the dish, then it's Cats and Dogs, as basil, it's great, yet still somewhat basic, it makes the flavor great without being way too obnoxious about it. Then it's Parenthood, as curry, where things get spicy, dealing with teens, making decisions, family drama, a new chair, all that nice stuff.
And Island Living is... chives, it's a nice spice, it's cool to have it around but, it's not like you're gonna use it everywhere, I mean, it gives you that specific flavor, but really, nothing that much.

  • Everybody comments about the damn shirt but not about Island Living god darn it
  • Generally companies that allow ads in their game cannot change the ads or take the language the company uses out of them - so we are stuck with what ever language the companies adverstising use in our games - like it or not. It is not up to EA - but us just choosing not to use the items if we don't like the ad. No body can change a companies ad after all they pay to have their stuff advertised using their brand names in the languages they use. It has always been that way in movies, games, you name it.

    Why did noone have problems with Toyota, Fords, Prius, etc cars in your Sims 3 games those were not Simlish either - but it is the price to pay to had companies advertise in your product. Or H & M on buildings in Sims 2 - etc - etc. T - mobile on sports gear, etc.

    Besides when you clicked "I agree" in order to install the game and play it - one of the things you agreed to was ads. Should read they TOS before you click agree if you don't want some things in your game. EA has been doing ads since forever - especially since 2006 - exactly as ads are written.

    It seems that there are Simlish overrides for the It's On Us shirts on Mod The Sims:

    Ah thank you so much. <3
  • The advertising in game doesn't bother me, the english text doesn't bother me. I'll use whatever fits the particular sim based on how the clothes look. Don't know much about the companies either, or what they stand for.

    As for the pack, I'm loving it. So much that I played my first sim in Sulani almost 2 sim years (default season lenght) without even leaving the island. I didn't run out of things to do. Sure, I didn't ONLY do island-things, I didn't disable all my other packs, and JUST play the new stuff. I have all packs, I'm going to play with whatever I feel like. Still, I didn't run out of things to do, and this was a single sim, no couple or family. The new aspiration, cleaning up Mua Pel'am, fishing, collecting, hanging with friends and my usual skilling as well....kept me quite busy before I even bothered to venture outside Sulani. Didn't even try more than a couple of the new odd jobs. Nor the career. So, still things I want to get into.

    I would give IL 10/10 if not for the things I'm missing. Like reggae music, new dance, more interactions for mermaids (and especially BETWEEN mermaids) and of course new bugs

    That's exactly how I am playing with a single female I got from the gallery playing in the volcano house and having pretty much a like experience as you are. Having fun . My sims is considered Native to the island so she is just living her life in her homeland as any one would do and loving life and her friends - both human and animal. Don't seem to encounter any issues when I am playing as designed - thus far.
  • I kinda like the rare English text because it’s like a sim is wearing a shirt or something in a foreign language. It’s like how sometimes there are little stands here where they’ll write your name out in Japanese or something.

    Anyway I don’t really get your comparison, and maybe that why people aren’t saying a ton about that part. I guess it’s like how I don’t use the features from Get Famous all the time, but when I do they’re great to have.
  • Can you guys stop on the brand and talk about glitches or the new pack p
  • To be fair, you talked about the brands in the OP, don't blame people for also talking about them. I don't care about it either way, english or simlish is fine.

    I didn't mention the bugs/glitches/other issues, because I go to AHQ for those, whenever I come across them in my game. That's the first place I'll search.
  • Also to be fair, there are already a ton of topics about the new pack in various sections of the forums, and the mods tend to close threads about bugs for some reason.
