Maintenance in thesims.com forums

The Sims official forums are down for a maintenance right now. I will let you know here when the maintenance is over, sorry for the inconvenience.

In the meantime, you could go play Sims for a while... or you could post instead here on Answers HQ.

    I have a hard time believing you have never been mean to your sims. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Actually it kind of shocks me when I read how joyful people find the way of killing their Sims. I think that the way a game is played speaks volumes about oneโ€™s personality. I prefer real competitions like a chess computer where the chance to win or lose is more even

    rather than to dominate my Sims who cannot defend themselves.

  • @LuvMySimz I am exactly the same way with my two Sims. I would never hurt them or any of them for that matter.  I could never understand seeing people starving their Sims to death or trying to find ways to either kill them or whatever.  Granted they're pixels, but still.  My boys are probably the happiest Sims I've seen with how they are always seeking each other out for attention or affection and always chatting.  The only times I've seen them sad was from losing a game or being out camping too long.  I agree with everything you said about how a person treats them speaks on their personalities.

    Aww bless your heartโค๏ธ Thank you sooo much for understanding and believing. I would never ever hurt my pixel-people on perpose. And before I would lose a beloved one unexpected I would rather quit the game without saving. I purchased The Sims4 in 2014 and I still have my very first created coupleโค๏ธ
  • @LuvMySimz I am new, started January of 2017    When my boys were first dating I had to go to a previous save because something happened in a bar where one was flirting with someone else.  I got the moodlet saying that I caught the love of my life flirting with another man.  His little heart was broke and he started bawling.  I almost cried myself and shut the game off.  I don't care if they'll forget about stuff eventually or whatever, that memory is still there.  Nope...reset   I couldn't handle that and that was probably minor.  I can't even watch those You Tube videos seeing a spouse die in front of their significant other without feeling so sad โ˜น๏ธ

    I don't kill my sims but I am mean to them and I use the game as a creative outlet.

    You could have just exit the game without saving. For the future make sure that you save the game like every 30 min. and every time you do changes to the houses and Sims. This way you wont lose too moch progress when you hit exit without saving.
