So, question on TS4 ... when you mouse over a family member's portrait (red circle in pic), and right click, a small camera icon appears on the portrait and the camera enters a sort of 'Follow Mode' and trails the Sim around.
If you use Full Screen and Edge Scrolling, the camera will disengage as soon as the mouse cursor slides off the portrait. I *think* this is because it is trigger Edge Scroll which for some reason (*cough**inept*EA*cough*) breaks off the camera's 'Follow Mode'
My question is, is there a shortcut key to engage the camera's 'Follow Mode' so I won't trip Edge Scrolling by using the mouse over the portrait?

What other features are you going to give it? What do the humans look like? or what do you have in mind for the humans appearance?

I kinda wanna play again.
Should I go back to Sims 3? Or jump into Sims 4?

Finished the first floor of my apartment.
Not sure who to put in it beyond the beige room = old people/cooking grey room = yoga/yuppies red room = music/technology brick room = sports/drinking
This sim here had a kid with the traits loner and hates the outdoors, what should I do with him?
Aiden Young
fuck yeah, me too.
having everything is truly the best eel
Samuel Ortiz
>loner and hates the outdoors
Make him a shut-in book writer who drinks too much juice and trolls people online at night.
... then again that means he won't have much of a legacy. Maybe he can have an obsessed female fan who hooks up with him?
Kayden Murphy
Walls up
Charles Wilson
Looks pretty good.
Luke Sanders
Nice, how many did you say you planned to have living there?
Colton Davis
Just got two more rooms on the top floor left, as well as the ground floor where I'm going to add a lobby, pool, spa, gym etc.
Carter Cruz
All of that going to fit?
Sebastian Parker
Where's the user that's making the sims clone?

Henry Allen
A pool, sauna, lobby and a weight room could probably fit.
Around 30 between the 12 suites. I'll be making the big decisions for all them but the whole think will largely be on auto pilot.
I've pretty much created my own communist commune because everyone will be sharing money and I'll be controlling the major aspects of their lives without "being" them.

Nope. You either have to go full legit or full pirate. Origin will reject pirate DLC.

Too bad you can't have multiple households on the same lot. This would've been fun to play

i need snowmen
Jose Lee
For Sims 4? At this rate probably never, I hate to say.
I think the Sims 4 dev team just selects random stuff out of a hat to decide what game packs to make. They sure aren't doing any target demo research. Camping? Movie Stuff? What the hell.
Matthew Cox
Lucky Palms is pretty great
Ryder Cruz
I didn't notice the other person at first
Jack Harris
That was Sims 1. This is Sims 2. Slight change.
Austin Brown
Well, Skyrim was good. It is probably the last good game Bethesda will ever make. The rest are definitely shit, though. Seems the older I get, the easier I can spot shit games.
Like GTAV was completely ruined by the 12-year-old-fart-humor. Nonstop cussing and vulgarity that added nothing to the game. If you were driving around, and your wife walked in the room, you have to pull over. Because you can't drive 100ft through the city without someone yelling something obscene. It's, frankly, embarrassing. But kids fucking love that game because lolfartjokes.
Jack Bell
Fallout 4 team was working on their expansions in 2014.
With that in mind, I bet EA has several dev teams. One working on emergency patches/content (like trans or adding water to mixology), and 3 other teams for stuff/game/expansion packs. And I bet they are working on 2017 expansion packs already.
Point being, immediate user input means jack shit. They will ask user opinions on the official forums but it is always very specific to the product already in production. Like "What is you favorite Sims swimwear?" instead of "Hey, guys, what would you think of a pool/hottub/swimming junk game pack?"
Liam Thomas

Still waiting. I was expecting after Kid's Room, but it looks like they're holding off for, I dunno? The next expansion or some shit?
If the game wasn't so goddamn expensive, I'd just buy it.
Evan Foster
this thread better be here in the morning
Austin Evans
I have a team that I've worked with before if it ever comes to that stage. I'll probably start with some pre-made assets I bought a few years ago. As in just switching heads and bodies to other static assets. If the "game" is ever playable and you guys like it I know a great guy who can model quite well and I have some experience with sliders. Not so much dragging character creation but I guess I could try to acquire that skill. No
Leo Jenkins
I need to work and sleep nigguh
Daniel Reed
How do you feel about the idea of the character creation being entirely slider based? With sliders for weight, muscle mass, fitness, body type, gender, height and age? It would allow for a lot more customization than any of maxis' offerings
Elijah Reyes
I would absolutely love to do that but it is a lot of work to rig that up, especially for multiple life stages. If the initial development is good enough for people to ask for more I would probably do that together with linear aging.
Landon White
Why are TS3 toddlers/children so ugly?

So I was just noting down what floats and bools I would need for a basic behavioral system.
What is your opinion on the following things: >Moods Like Flirty, Happy etcetera in S4. >Needs One could go more into the direction of Survival games and put in stuff like Hydration, Calories, Exhaustion and Body temperature or go full social with needs like fun, romance, variety. Sims generally has a mix of those. How many needs is too many needs? >Skills I kinda like the idea of combining S4's child skills with actual skills. Motor s a metaskill of all physical activities, social as a metaskill of all social activities and so on. The Metaskill would allow for more stuff to be done and be the same as the lowest skill level in it's group. Thoughts? >Traits Only mixed traits as in the Sims or separate advantages/disadvantages?
Carter Nelson
This thread dies quite often would you post progress in /agdg/?
Evan Powell
Once I have something to show, which is going to be by the weekend, yes. Right now it's pretty much just lines of code scribbled into a notebook waiting to be put into the UE4 framework.
Owen Turner
Well, the humor is that the base game that took 7 years to make was complete shit. The only true expansion they've released so far (Far Harbor) was much better than the base game. But. jesus man, the base game story was so terrible that after finishing it, I stopped playing for 6 months with no desire to touch it again.

If you have class, you feel shame when you are witnessed doing something retarded by someone you respect. If you're fine with *everyone* in your life overhearing Trevor talking about wanting to take out his his dick (again) without feeling a slight sting of embarrassment, then you're probably 12 years old, live in a trailer, or both.
Leo Sanders
Be thankful they have toddlers. I would gladly take pudding toddlers over nothing at all in TS4.
Jaxon Long
I kind of like teaching them to walk/talk and use the potty in 3

Jordan Roberts
Uploaded my Draenei here to the #ts4vg tag. Have fun with her.
Samuel Reed
Does she have a giant horse cock?
Nicholas Wilson
Yeah, if there's no giant horse cock, I can't say I'm all that interested. Every good woman has a giant horse cock.
Ryder Carter
"Giant horse cock" in a figurative or literal sense? Figuratively, meaning she's brave or steadfast, like how we imagine a man with a giant wiener would act. Or literally, as in she'd step out of the shower and walk past so she could smack you in the back of the head with her big floppy donger?
Caleb Thomas
One of my sims randomly lost all relationship with their girlfriend. Like, they didn't even remember their girlfriend was an alien. What's up with that?
Relationship culling. Try adding a mod that disables culling.
Easton Reed
One can barely imagine the cocktail of childhood trauma, birth defects, and anti-psychotic medication it would take to generate a website that rabidly autistic. Chris-chan would look at that shit and go "NOPE."
Tyler Wright
bc its mother (and presumably father) look down syndrome, so naturally this genetic failure will be passed onto the offspring.
Maybe it's what that art work for an island looking world is from.
Eli Williams
It seems like 98% of my sim deaths in TS4 are from Hysteria. Once you have your household established enough that positive moodlets are flying left and right from every object in the room and every action performed in the house, all the sudden telling 3 jokes on date night (as per the task list) is mortally dangerous if you don't watch your sims like a hawk for the next 24 hours.
What idiot thought of this damn mechanic? It'd be novel if it were extremely rare and random. But there is literally a countdown-to-death timer as soon as your sims gets, what, +11 happy and tells 1 joke?
Hunter Collins
when will they bring back Karma?
I need to go to a party at midnight and watch everyone burn
Carson Lopez
4 is pretty cozy. Shame there's not much to do.
Juan Sanchez
I don't even miss the open world at all and the lack of cast doesn't bother me that much. But I really miss toddlers and having more family orientated things to do instead of just parties and woohoo. Hopefully EA will will put out more expansions like Dine Out.
Charles Scott
I would probably miss open world if it hadn't been responsible for 3 performing so badly. It's a nice idea, but it's obvious EA doesn't have what it takes to do it properly.
I'm personally hoping for toddlers and maybe a Generations style expansion, but it looks like they're splitting things up into game/stuff packs like the Kids Stuff one.
Honestly, I just want more stuff to do in general. I like all the weird, kooky stuff you can do in the earlier games.
