questions regarding a slur in the sims 1 and 2
hello, this post is more aimed at the actual sims team, but i want to confirm something as you have started reselling the sims 1 and 2 for modern devices. In both of these games, they have the g word ( a word used against roma people). Has this been removed from the games before them being republished?
Stuttering when moving mouse.
I've recently changed from an intel MacBook Pro with windows 10 to a HP gaming laptop. The Macbook played the game fine, but now that I have a my new computer moving the mouse makes the game stutter. The whole game can grind to a halt if i rapidly move my mouse pointer around. It doesn't matter if I use the trackpad or an actual mouse. I should add that i've noticed that moving the mouse doesn't cause lag if you move the camera. So if I hold the right mouse button while the game is running the stuttering doesn't happen. Another thing i've noticed is that the mouse cursor flickers while playing. I did a clean install of Windows 11 and installed the game first thing, and the issue is still there. I conclusion, whenever I move the mouse cursor in game the game stutters and the cursor itself flickers. I've been doing some research and other people have reported similar issues in other games, their culprits are everything from background programs/apps to mouse polling rates. I've tried it all.
Make UKEnglish version of The Sims 1 legacy to use 24H clock
(Post is about The Sims 1) Maybe I'm just too old and remember it wrong, but as far as I remember, in The Sims 2, the USEnglish uses 12H clock and UKEnglish 24H clock. Right now there are 2 absolutely identical game locales in The Sims 1 Legacy with the same text and almost no differences (except Vacation being called On Holiday in some places), and both US and UK English use 12H clock. It would be nice if UKEnglish would use 24H clock instead of the 12. Yes, in UK there are 2 systems officially used, 24 and 12, but this way you could allow the people who want to play in English and use 24H clock a convenient option to change language to UKEnglish. Who want still use 12H clock could change the lang to USEnglish and vice-versa. There is a HUGE AMOUNT of players for which English is not a native language and they have no localized version for their language, so they play in English. But the 12-hour system may be very inconvenient for the foreigners. I personally speak English very well, but I would be happy to play the game in English but with the 24H clock. Adding it to UKEnglish would be a best way to use it. As alternative there would be implemented a new game option to use 24 or 12-hour clock system. Also, the more convenient option to change game language in-game would be great.
Game for aspiring architects
I played Sims 2 Deluxe from the age of eight, when I got it as a Christmas present from my "cool" aunt & uncle. But my favorite part of the game was actually building the houses. EA did a great job with having different terrains, levels, angles, 2D/3D view, rooflines, scaling, leaving space etc. I would love it if EA launched a game where kids ( and adults) can use these building/planning houses that are not as complicated or expensive as the real software architects use. Please EA, release an app ( hopefully free) where we can bring our housebuilding and landscaping dreams to reality.
