I have lots of stories lol I post pics on my Twitter, not sure how to put them on here.
I'm glad I found this thread:-)

There's so much to do, even I haven't covered all the bases, I'm not overly familiar with makin Magic. I know it, just don't know it like the back of my head. The amount of detail in each pack is outstanding. I was shocked when I was looking at all the different careers.

When my husband got The Sims and all the EPs working on my pc, I was so happy. For me it was like the equivalent of EA announcing toddlers! I love it all, the music, the detail, the depth of the sims behaviour it's amazing!

@Goldbear86

I am grateful for this thread too :)

I don't have a twitter account if you uploaded them would I still be able to look at them?

I think maybe I jumped the gun buying an older laptop with the right specs to play and wished I might have spent a little more time trying to get it right ( but I did spend a very long time trying to fix it-) so am wondering what OS you are using and how you husband managed to get it working properly for you?

After my initial install on 7 OS the graphics were fine apart from the sim itself and while I understood graphics were not going to be perfect I was sure they could be better and I knew I would not be able to play properly until I resolved it but nothing I tried worked and it really saddened me to uninstall at the time and try and forget it because I knew it was going to be another 3 months of saving up for a desktop upgrade before I could sort out what I was going to do about 1 and now that time is here I thought at least if I get it running on a laptop to play wherever I go I can at least take one sims game with me lol

My fear is after spending money on this laptop it won't work on that either and I will go insane :)

and speaking of laptops no sign of it today either and tomorrow is day 5 which is the last day my tech said it would take so I keep trying to put off being excited in case it's not tomorrow either :)

I am assuming I should be able to look at pics on twitter but not reply as I am not registered..

I can hardly believe you have 1 working on 10 and even I could not get it working on 7 properly so I think you need to be renting out hubby's skills lol

I am watching everyone go nuts about this 4 video for city life promo which for once I would like to watch because everyone is expecting so much from it as usual lol but no matter where I search EA I cannot find the video or what time in the UK it is going to be released.. What are your thoughts on this latest pack?

For some frustrating reason when I try and post pictures it says the body is 5 characters too short.. Darn it!


It wasn't easy, For a while he didn't think he could get it working but he read a couple of threads on here and touch wood it works now. I've read getting the Ultimate collection to install is easier. I will ask him for sure what he did when he gets home from work.

I think in the Uk the announcement will be about 5:30/6? May be wrong. That's what time stuff packs get released here.

I don't know how I feel about city life. If there are apartments that could be interesting if they are similar to the sims 2, if they are similar to the sims 3 then I think they will be pointless. For me for it be considered buying the new world/city has to be a decent size, apartments have to be there and a good few new objects.

I would also love the police NPC and burglar NPC back as well as new traits and emotions fixed but I think I'm asking for too much there lol


Trying to reserve judgement until I've seen the trailer and know more about it. What do you think?

My biggest problem with The sims 4 is the emotions. It shouldn't be that easy to change emotions. When I play the Sims 1, they have emotion. My sim caught her husband cheating on her, she hasn't spoken nicely to him for a sim week, he's been on the couch all week and she will slap him if left to her own devices. He's been miserable and he is refusing to go to work or improve his skills.

On the other hand in my other sims game, my sim child caught his Dad cheating on his Mum, he continued to sit next to them drinking out a glass of milk, no reaction whatsoever. Later on when the Mum finds out she does give her husband a slap after he does it twice and she becomes very angry. When they divorce, none of the children care. No reaction at all.

The mum and the the woman she caught in bed with her husband share a laugh and joke over a meal, meanwhile the sim child who has no reaction to Dads cheating or his parents divorce is crying under the covers because he put on a bad puppet show. This is a behaviour he will repeat for the next few sim days.

Which sims game is which? Lol

I've reinstalled The Sims 1 on a older laptop. I've played all day yesterday due to me having the day off lol! The Sims 1 was always one of my favorites especially the expansion packs.

Oh @jadelredale

you have given me hope that once installed on the right spec laptop it should play right of the bat thank you :)

Nice to have another player Jade! I still find it addictive too. Most people think I'm crazy for still playing one. But to be fair they have never played it so they don't understand the appeal.

@Goldbear86 really? from what i've seen most people here loved the sims 1 and played it since it came out! :D

Yeah I'm a moderator on a sims group and there's a large percent of the group that are massive sims 4 fans and have never played two, never mind one so its nice to meet some people that have love for the old ones, in particular the original.
