New Experiences from The Sims Labs: Updated Townie Homes, New Main Menu and more

You may remember that last Fall, we shared some BIG updates on The Future of The Sims, including a movie based on The Sims.

We’re happy to share that The Sims is looking Plumbob green as The Sims Labs has been cooking! We’ve learned so much from recent playtests, and that’s all thanks to the thousands of players that jumped into the various innovations across future and current Sims products. And just a reminder for all the Simmers that have helped us in our playtests, what you might see are slices of experiences that are in very early phases of development, and we’re still finalizing the final product.

All Simmers have experienced the great work that’s come out of The Sims Labs, including the “Apply All” button and the “Occult Switcher” in The Sims 4. We will continue to keep innovating the game experience as part of commitment to building and improving The Sims 4, including the main menu:

Your latest save will now be front and center and ready for you to hop back in and play. The good news? This main menu update is now available for everyone!

Alongside today’s main menu update, the team renovated and rebuilt the iconic townie homes with the content and items released from the base game updates over the years for The Sims 4. The refreshed townie homes including the Pancake, Goth, Caliente, Landgraab and BFF houses, now have pools, hundreds of swatches and more! You can read more in the Patch Notes here.

*blinks* .... well, that was unexpected

As a few of my followers/mutuals may know, I play Sims Freeplay. And sometimes it throws up some surprises.

It's not completely free. If you need boosters or whatever, you've got to pay for the privilege.

Once you get past the 'stages' then ... each month, the game creators will throw out a load of events. Some are reruns, so you will miss them.

Or ... if you haven't completed some of it, you'll get to catch up or start all over again - whichever the game decides your Sims fate.

Some you simply CANNOT skip past *coughInfluenceIslandcough* and THAT one is definitely rigged so you lose OR pay real money. (Boo hiss)

Anyways, enough waffle.

Today's unexpected thing?

One of the events is the SimChase challenge. It is spread over several days, starts off with short challenges, and those get longer to fill up the day.

The last one? Was supposed to be 10 days long. I checked this morning to complete day 9, and prepared myself for the final day. When suddenly ... BOOM ... it all vanished.

No usual fanfare or congratulations.

Just ... gone

Huh, what an anticlimax

I think the game just threw a fit because I was winning

The Sims FreePlay - 11.0.0 Update

Yeehaw, a rootin’-tootin’ new update called “Modern Ranch” awaits! What’s new in this version?

- The fifth Sim Springs Neighborhood “Commercial Court” has arrived. You’ll be ready for more amazing new places to discover!

- From the Live Events, you’ll get to unlock everything you need to build your own ranch-style Stately home, complete with a chicken coop.

This latest version sure does pack a lot more into it. So saddle up, settle down, and download the new update - it’s time to play and enjoy the new content!

[girldraki]

update incidentally on the sims freeplay situation: we have arbitrarily decided that if we have 1250 lp per account we can try doing the last leg of the main story quests. this is objectively insane especially given our demonstrable dislike of the clicker game style paying lp to blitz through everything turns the game into but because we love overpreparedness more than life itself we’re gonna go for it nevertheless. as it stands we’re at around 900 on each save even with the limited event quest currently running and we’re so inordinately proud of this even though it’s so ridiculous

My Sims Freeplay Photo Dump!

So I don’t know if y’all are aware, but I first got into The Sims as a franchise through one of its mobile installments, The Sims Freeplay (I’m aware there is also “The Sims Mobile”, but that one came out when I was frankly too old to be interested in it, so I’ve never played it). It’s money-grubby as hell (of course, being an EA game), but it didn’t stop me playing it on my family iPad from late 2014 at the earliest until about 2016 or 2017 when I took a break, then returned to the game around late 2017 at the earliest until about 2019 or 2020 when I figured out how to play it on an emulator (by then, I lost all my progress I built from my iPad save - RIP iOS Game Center), then returned again briefly in the summer of 2022 starting a new emulator save. I’ve stopped playing ever since the sims received a face update sometime in October 2022 - I don’t know, I’ve just never gotten used to the new faces (and by now, I’ve realized how much the game demands you drop loads of cash to actually succeed at many of its events)...

Regardless, I won’t deny how nostalgic this game is to me, so I thought I’d share some highlights (and funny moments)! Most of these were taken from my emulated game.

My OC Rose with her children, André (@mona-lark‘s OC) and Elisabeth

Rose and baby André with busy dad Jack (@mona-lark​’s OC)

Toddler André freaking BIKING AWAY FROM HIS HOME

Elisabeth and André as toddlers wearing superhero costumes :)

Belita (@mona-lark’s old Mary Sue sona) and Dee Dee (my OC based off one of my old Barbie dolls)

You might’ve noticed some of these sims are in my Sims 4 game, but who knows, I might add the others soon...

Have you ever imagined a not so berry challenge in the Sims Freeplay? Yes! it is possible!

I changed some rules to adapt the reality of the game, but basically it looks like this:

- your house can be built with infinite money.

- you cannot speed up your sim's life. should let its life cycle run normally.

MINT generation:

You are a mischievous scientist who loves to tell wacky stories and make friends. Their goals are entirely focused on hobbies and work. Your duty on this planet is to accumulate as much material goods as possible.

16Personalities Sim: ENTP

Goals:

- be hated by 3 sims

- have a great friendship that is also a geek (no need to pursue a career as a scientist)

- maximum level in scientist career

- complete life mission: Geek

• Optional rule: do all events on the island of influence

and that. the mission of life, is to acquire the geek trait and reach the bronze orb. your sim should do the life aspiration "work every day as a scientist". option is present in the geek lifestyle

Your marriage needs to be perfect and parenting should involve skills and academic development at the highest level.

I played SIMS FREEPLAY (throws up) for 2 years & literally spent over $1000 on that game because I got addicted… they literally insert gambling into the game & I didn’t realize it since it was hidden behind this concept of “live events” for the community. For the last several years I periodically would search for a way to buy sims 2. I was willing to pay a lot for it but never saw an opportunity that wasn’t a scam lol…

So when I realized there was a way to download it last September I was skeptical but said what the hell it’s worth a shot. My computer is under warranty for another year lol

I’m not gonna front like I wasn’t being dramatic but when I loaded the game n saw the intro all the nostalgia came back n i literally cried tears of joy!

I began playing again in September 2022 and the last time I had played was when I was in maybe 11? (I’m 26). My momma n I played a completely vanilla game. I had no idea that you could put custom content in the game, let alone easily mod the game.

I had absolutely no idea there was such a vibrant community of such brilliant, creative people!!!! so many people out here, like Lady Duchess, taking the time to go inside the game n learn how to manipulate the code to do pretty much whatever the hell our lil hearts desire. THAT IS SO FUCKING AMAZING. HOW ARE PEOPLE SO FUCKING AWESOME?

& then these brilliant people share that with the world asking nothing in return. They just want us all to be able to get the most out of our gameplay. The content creators that take the time outta there days to construct things so all of our games are not only more beautiful but allow for all of us to have a completely unique experience. We all get to create the worlds of our imagination with literally no boundaries.

And without all of you gracious, brilliant, creative people that would not be possible. All for the love of the game n this community.

Idk about yall, but this game is an escape from the stress of the world for me… I picked up the game right before a storm hit in my life n this was truly a reprieve. I could escape to my own lil world n forget all the bullshit for a lil while.

I guess all this to say THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart. this community is full of so much love. And to be this strong 2 fricken decades after it came out because the game is just such a mf gem n unlike any other… (hello EA)

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜I LOVE YALL💜💙💚💛🧡❤️sims 2 forever !!!! Idk if anyone is gonna see this but I wanted to say it anyways

Pink Flashing Research Part 2

I've done a bit more research and testing on the subject of pink flashing (Thanks to everyone from my Discord who contributed!)

I came up with a "duct tape", temporary solution for Mansion & Garden players, in the form of an ASI mod, available with instructions under the cut.

Let me know how it goes! This won't fix crashes and won't work in every case, but people have seen improvements. Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this at some point. I might make it a part of RPC eventually.

Download

SimFileShare / Dropbox

Usage and drawbacks:

All this mod does is ignore when the game tells materials to start flashing, which can result in them working fine as the game tends to misjudge the amount of available memory and make stuff pink flash when it's not really necessary.

This can result in pink flashing being gone and everything looking normal or stuff that would normally pink flash simply turning invisible.

If you see things start turning invisible in-game, type in the cheat "boolprop reparseshaders true" (without the quotes of course)

Installation Instructions:

If you use Sims2RPC, copy the "NoErrorVisualization.asi" file into your "(Mansion & Garden Install folder)/TSBin/mods" folder. (e.g "C:/Origin Games/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection/Fun with Pets/SP9/TSBin/mods")

If you don't use Sims2RPC you will need a cracked Sims2EP9.exe, then copy the "NoErrorVisualization.asi" file into your M&G TSBin folder, and download an ASI Loader: (SFS/Dropbox). Copy this dsound.dll file in TSBin alongside the .asi file.

Finished the influencer challenge season 47!

[curewhimsy]

I’m playing the sims FreePlay (mobile game) and one of the quests involves a turkey in your yard and the event lasts for 3 irl days (or until you finish the quest and due to it being a mobile game could take 2+ days) and the turkey will not stop making noise literally every half second and it’s so annoying. I can’t play with the sound on until 3 days from now bc of the annoying turkey

Watch: Behind The Sims, Episode 03

Maxis released a new episode of its Behind the Sims series, with news and updates on The Sims franchise.

Maxis Announces New Episode of “Behind the Sims”

There’s a new episode of Behind the Simscoming our way this week. Maxis is releasing the video at a live event on YouTube this Tuesday, September 12th.

This is the third episode of the series, that talks about new things for The Sims franchise. The stream is supposed to be only 15 minutes long, but should cover new content coming for The Sims Mobile, The Sims Freeplay and The Sims 4 in the upcoming season, as well as new info on the development of Project Rene.

[soniabigcheese]

Urgh Seriously (Sims Freeplay related)

So ...

I logged in today to check on progress of a new development in game and this happened

Influence Island - a side game that I do not like but have zero options to avoid it. Basic rules, only one Sim is allowed onto the island to influence a bunch of random Sims there, to become one in seven clan mates to get prizes, leading to a main prize. There is an opponent who you are against. Blah blah blah.

I thought that Mrs Santa Claus would be a fairly easy Sim to influence, but she is proving immune to at least four different Sims, thus reducing my chances on getting the big prize (hence mine and a few others dislike for this particular side game)

SimChase challenge has just started and one task only takes approximately 5 minutes to do. So I thought ... Great! I'll get one of my elder Sims to do that

So i sent one for that one task, move elsewhere and came back to find that they'd either 'forgotten' or couldn't be arsed to do this simple task.

Then, when the Hobby Event happens, the same household (an illegal bakery underneath a produce shop - go figure - of all elderly Sims sounds good right?😜) I have issues with some Sims refusing to make candles/glass/pottery/jewellery

So yeah. There's definitely a digital revolt going on and I've got to keep them in check.

Hubby rolls his eyes when he hears me swearing at my kindle. Because these Sims are exasperating
