Since the other thread was getting kind of full and there is a new person posting the tweets now (me), it seemed to be time for a new thread. I noticed I've been doing things differently from the previous poster. I also post the gurus' personal tweets and responses. I'd like to have some feedback on that. Should I continue doing that? And should I also keep posting their retweets, which mostly include TS4 builds and sims, in spoiler tags? Or should I stick with strictly game-related tweets, no retweets? Gurus also sometimes post their own crafts and handiwork related to the sims, would you still want to see those? Let me know!@EA_Leeloo The previous thread is set as an 'announcement' on the General Discussions board, could it be swapped for this one, please?

I do enjoy the personal tweets. I never included them though because the Gurus can be very chatty. ?

I personally don't care for the personal tweets, it's a little distracting to me to have to scroll thru just to find any information I'm hoping to see, plus I don't know them personally so what they're doing in their life is of no relevance to me, I'm only interested in any TS4 updates.

So you know you never have to click those if you're uninterested in their personal lives. And does that also include retweets relating to TS4 builds and sims? Basically, what is the information you're hoping to see? Are sims-related jokes they post included in that or does that veer more towards the personal side? It's a fine balance. ?

Thank you for telling me! I'll go back to putting in bold what's in the spoiler tags, so you know whether it's a retweet or something personal.

Yes I much prefer them being in spoilers, that way I can choose to look or not, anything Sim related is all I'm interested in, I don't really care about builds either because there's just a ton of them retweeted, but others like it, so I'm ok with that too. I personally am just interested in anything that could be a hint or information regarding bugs or upcoming content. I do follow some gurus on twitter but some I don't because I don't know them all, and on twitter it is sometimes really hard to scroll thru to actually find relevant information between all of the other posts, so I like that all of the tweets are here and I can look to see if I missed anything.

I really appreciate you doing this @Duvelina . Personally I’m only interested in the tweets about the game and not the personal stuff. As for the retweets of builds, I do appreciate those as well but as someone else mentioned, there are a lot. I wonder if any idea could be to split those into a separate thread? Having them in spoiler tags works but the thread gets really heavy when there are a lot of retweets. I had to stop following the original thread as it simply got to heavy to load, even with the spoiler tags. Anyhow, anything you decide to do is appreciated

That was my mistake! I posted too many pictures on one page which made the pages take forever to load. If I split things up more into multiple different posts there should be less tweets on one page which makes the pages load faster. The pages load separately and it doesn't load the whole thread at once. As soon as it starts to slow down regardless, I'll look into opening a different thread!
