How are they gonna manage that with the sims? Really...sell you a pre-birthed baby? :ROFLMAO:
I dunno, I've never played it but when you compare players who got all the skins free in the paid version of Fall Guys, compared to the now free to play version where the skins are real money (you have to buy showbucks) I just figured there's a motive behind Sims4 going F2P. Usually a profit to be made somehow, right?

I'm not sure which is more creepy, that they couldn't find you or that you just came out like a 🥷 with a :smoke bomb after the fact :LOL:
I did mention that I wrote a dm to him, using his link but got the "user not found error" when I tried to send it. Weird that when I clicked on the nick to send/rewrite that msg it opened the same dm I'd written and then I could send it tho. 🤷

Still a paid game right now. However, if you think about it, it might be better to buy the game now before it goes free to play, since they usually end up being pay to win games after they go free to play, right? 🤔
As for me is better not to buy at all. Because as soon as it becomes free, EA will add a lot of pay walls, and it will be that the money has been given, and yet you need to pay more. Maybe they will give a small bonus, and is it worth it? Or option 2 - the base game began free to sell all the DLC's. So buying now is just to throw money in the wind. So I think.

This is a stupid bug of the forum. Start writing a private message to someone. Then switch to a new browser tab, select another user and click "Start conversation". The new window will open, which will have the text of the first message, but the recipient will be the second.
Everyone need to be careful with this thing :)
Upd: I believe it also works if you just write something in a private message and close it. The forum saves the text, but not the sender.

Caught this awhile back, didn't really think it was an unknown so I never bothered to mention it myself...but your def right, almost sent the wrong message a few times.

Thats when this button becomes handy, since it way stay even after refreshing the page as well.

I'm just curious...aside from when its F2P, does anyone who doesn't play it already even WANT this game? :ROFLMAO:

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but i could care less lol.

EDIT:

The debate is worth having...probably more than the game IMO.

Hrm. You raise good points.
My sister has played the sims in one form or another for years. I never really understood the fascination. I think she first had it on a handheld console before playstation.
I watched Samora from Lenovo playing it last week. When I say "playing" I mean setting up adding another user. His avatar. Oh my what a long process that was. Its way more advanced than my sister's handheld days that's for sure. I looked at the prices and $30 of my money is still quite a lot for a base game (imo) and giving it out free..? Well yeah they've gotta make money somehow. Maybe on all the expansion packs. Maybe they'll push more packs more often. I dunno.

This is a stupid bug of the forum. ..
Oh yikes! Be careful what you say in dm then (and that you've said it to the intended person 🤪🤣)

Im curious because my sister is addicted to it. Curious to try it to see why. Is it a "girly" game..? I can remember a lot of giggling behind the closed door when my sister and her friends would make boyfriends in the game and the ! above their heads would change...think you know where Im going with this. lol But apart from the giggle factor, something draws ppl to this game and it's been around (and growing) for a long time now. Thats why I'm curious. She doesnt live here anymore or I'd just go ask to play or watch her play. I dont at all diss ppl for their game choices so didnt wanna get in to a debate over it tho.

EDIT: just thought I'd add this: While she plays sims4 and I asked if it's a "girly" type game, my sister is also a boss at games like FN and Apex ..and I.. am not

Because people like different stuff in it. My favorite is pets and gardening for some reason and killing off my sims to try and make one a ghost and kill off the rest xD
Others like romance, others decorating and so on. It just has maaaany things

But 4 looks like crap (visuals). I'd take 3 any day over it

Oh neither was I, sorry if it seemed that way, I'm also not a roblox person...but I don't have even the slightest different opinion of you over that fact.

I do have to chuckle at the boss comment at fortnight though :LOL: and its not that I'm 'dissing' her (or you)...its just if you read half of what i read in gaming rig building circles (instead of gaming circles), that game is pretty much defined as the "not a real gamer" game so the commentary I remember gives me a laugh more than anything personal.

Let me add a side note here and say I'd prolly get owned if I tried to play fortnight, heck idk if I'm even spelling it right :ROFLMAO:

I didn't mean to imply people shouldn't try or play the sims, it just seemed that (from what I know of people here), a good portion of them would never touch it unless it was free with a box of chocolates mailed to their house on top (me being one heh)...but thats beside the point here.

I don't play online games and to most gamers (especially in PC builder circles), thats a grievous sin and an utter waste of my rig...totally unheard of.

Well I got two words for them.
