The Sims 4
I can't play my legacy yet in TS4 because apparently headline effects won't turn off the plumbobs. And I refuse to have amateur pictures.
So meet Macy, who I've been getting a feel for the game on.
This post isn't funny, it's more of a TS4 impressions sort of thing.
Kind of hard to figure out when you're trying NOT to do anything interesting, though.
It's a basegame and I know it's going to get boring fast, so I want to save the interesting stuff for the legacy.
The second I unpaused, this Katrina Cuntliente chick started badgering Macy because she happened to be walking by. Which is cool, I guess. I don't know why the sims were already out and about when the game had never been unpaused, but it's cool.
The park's a giant load of boring. The only things to do are chess, fish, and do the "be a sea monster" interaction that we were all sick of seeing already before launch.
...And I was a bit confused by the fact that uh...I went into map view, came back to where Macy had been, PAUSED, talking to that dude with the fugly hat up there, and she was digging through trash. Am I missing something here?
Don't fkn tell me the game still plays when you're in a map screen that is literally a menu instead of a map.
/engaging in overused sea monster interaction
They move around less while talking than they did in the broadcasts. Maybe it actually was a bug they fixed.
The feminine walk is making me question my heterosexuality.
The scenery's gorgeous.
I may post the pictures slightly larger (800x485 instead of 660x400) just so that I can capture more detail in them.
Plus I'm playing in almost-fullscreen-windowed (1920x1030) instead of 1600x900 like I did TS3 so there's less detail in everything anyways.
The park's kinda big, so at first I didn't notice the globs of pixel people chattering together all over the place.
The group talking thing is cool and all, but it's really obnoxious when you just want to talk to one sim.
I tried to make a fuckbuddy, but apparently he wasn't interested.
Macy: All I did was say I bet his disco stick was rockin...
So I got this little fuckface all friend-ed up then it hit me why there was no romantic interactions section.
He's a goddamn teenager.
Gah.
K bitch get that snobby look off your face.
You're fugly, your hair is fugly, and your eyebrows are horrifyingly light.
THE EATING ANIMATIONS ARE SO CUTE THOUGH UGH
And the multitaking thing keeps catching me off guard.
I'm like "okay you go call this dude" and then sit there like "...she hasn't stood up why isn't sh - oh. she is."
Dat sexy pose tho.
Also I think this guy's name is Brandon or something.
They're pretty cu -
...er...
...pretend I was going to say disturbing instead of cute.
(It's crazy annoying how dark the sims are in bright rooms. It's like the lighting doesn't touch them at all.)
Aaaaaaaand the floating hands and un-touching lips are just like TS3....but 100x worse.
Macy: Watchu lookin' at u little shit?
The plumbobs are killing my sanity.
The faces they make are just bad. I get they were trying to go the silly direction but jfc.
D'aawww look at the motherfuckingfloating cutie ♥
The fucking tired walk though. It's annoying. And it takes them about a sim hour to cross the lot and walk down the street while fkn doing it.
And you can't drag motives with testingcheats I want to sob
The uncomfortable icon is adorableeeeeeeeeee.
As is the peepee walk.
General TS4 impressions:
* The build mode is awesome. But (and I know everyone is sick of hearing it) I seriously miss CASt. I didn't think I would, but I do.
* The clothing choices for women are awesome...but nothing goes with each other, basically,
* Men? Everything looks cute in the icons and horrific on the sim.
* I love the spandrels and how columns and the foundation work and asdfghjkl;
* The shoes. I hate them. There's like four pairs of heels that aren't fugly short. And even those four are baby heels. But that's normal for Sims.
* Oh my god things don't have enough slots.
You see this little set of fkn candles?
I can't place it on the end table because the tissue box is there. If I did place the candles on the end table, I wouldn't be able to place anything else ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE END TABLE.
There are basically 5-10 AT MOST deco objects that have small slots. Everything else takes up the whole square.
And there's no small slot plants.
Or fence post lights.
