Finally the 5th midnight. I can play the sims. Well after a few crashes (apparently the game doesn't like some of the saved households from the gallery. So took out probably most my stuff from the tray folder.
Okay so far. I am liking all the little things i am noticing.
Game looks beautiful. (really beautiful)
It's so bright and pretty
I love how the Sims eat (the animation is so cute of the sims eating)
My sim ran into Bob Pancake (that made me smile)
I love the wheelie bin. That's my bin
The music on the radio is superb.
Love the electronic station
I need to explore more. So this is just a quick review.
The new dance moves are adorable too
Sims do seem more intelligent (my sims carried his food with him so he could continue chatting to the other sims in the room sitting on the couch.)
I am not missing toddlers but that is just me.
I love the clothes selection. Some really interesting outfits.
I still need lipstick for my male sims.
I struggled figuring out how to turn a object in another direction when placing furniture. (finally figured it out)
Buiding mode is easier
Sims look good. Really good and alive. (seeing gameplay on videos does not do the sims justice. They are beautiful. I love the faces they make.
Still getting use to the interface. (that shows the sims needs) I think i hate the white background and the green and it looks so big when i click on it. It will take some getting use to. The other menus i can live with.
The gallery.
Well i miss the Sims 3 create a sim (liked having my sims in the saved sims folder) Looking at tray folder it grows really quickly and looks messy. I guess everyone is going the way of online. I have my consoles for that. I just keep thinking the gallery is going to crash and the sims you didn't share will be lost (because i have already lost half the 200 households i made with the demo) They were'nt all mine. Anyway for the moment i am not downloading anyone households in case it crashes my game again.
I am glad i got this game. I got the digital deluxe version (so i could play at midnight) even though the Physical copy of the collectors Edition is being delivered tomorrow and my Collectors Prima game guide. (yes i am obsessed when it comes to the Sims)
I think the game runs flawless and much faster having smaller neighbourhoods even though my Gaming PC could probably handle more. It's good that everyone can just dive straight into the game without worrying if their PC can handle it. (sims 3 was forever loading objects)
I really need to explore the game some more now. I have barely done anything. I guess new clothes and furniture will come in stuff packs. I miss the sims 3 store and it was weird seeing my sims having to pay to cook their meals. I want a grocery store. (i would love one like the sims 2 had )
Foods look really good (makes me hungry)
Hate the white outline on the sims
Love the game so far and see it's going to be long weekend of simming and probably next week too. Okay who i'm i kidding, this is probably going to take up quite a bit of my time now. Will be hard to go back to sims 3.
