The Latest Sims 4 Bug is Definitely Not PC

Welcome to the Sims 4 Development Team’s latest faux-pas - wanna sleep with your sister? Have woohoo with your mom? Hump the neighbor’s dog…wait no, they don’t have that yet - I’m sure that’s the next in EA’s endless bag o’bugs or some sicko’s wet-dream fantasy mod on Lover’s Lab. Well now you can do it all (have relations with your sister and woohoo your mom, that is) in the Sims 4.

Aside from the rather gross familial implications that this entails. The Sims 4 has no genetic anomalies that would appear should family members do this in real life. Why? Because Sims 4 is not a life simulator. It’s a clearly PC sanitized of any consequences safe space for people who don’t want to face the consequences of their actions.

This bug would be absolutely hysterical in the pantheon of game-breaking mistakes in the Sims 4 if it weren’t an entry in a long list of half-baked stupid mistakes that EA has done which is cost-cut every measure of quality control on its way out the door with packs they expect you to pay nearly the cost of a triple-A title for.

Another entry in the string of middle fingers that EA has given to the gaming community on top of loot-boxes in Star Wars Battlefront 2 in addition to screwing up various other games they got their hands on like SimCity and Spore. Both incidentally Will Wright games. We still don’t have a Dragon Age IV yet and Mass Effect Andromeda was a stinker.

What this does for me. Is offer me a nearly endless supply of Deliverance jokes and references to a game pack that could include a particular stringed instrument known in the Appalachians.

"Hey, Morty, can ye Squeeeal like a Pig?"

oh happy days are here again

EA just took a massive shit on Sims Lore.

Sims 3 vs Sims 4 - or THIS IS WHY I CAN’T PLAY THE SIMS 4.

I have never liked the Sims 4. I’ll admit it. Lack of gameplay, Fisher Price/Looney Tunes graphics notwithstanding, the community itself willing to abase themselves in hopes of turning the devs in their direction. The EA devs themselves throwing shade at the Sims 3 community who steadfastly refuse to play that shitty excuse for a game (Sims 4) they produced and then proceed to drag out and prolong that shit as if they had ten $5.00 boxes of Extra Spicy Bean Burritos at Taco Bell. Enough with the Glitterturd already. Enough with catering to ADHD children who with the rating on the game shouldn’t even be playing the Sims anyways.

One of the things that struck me was how faithfully outside of Don Lothario’s time travels, that the former dev team stuck to canon continuity in The Sims, Sims 2 and the prequel to all of them, Sims 3. Sims got older when they were supposed to. We knew that Sims 3 was the progenitor of the series because the well-known Goths were children; Bella was a Bachelor and Morty was that awkward little kid.

But then along came Sims 4 which like any little change-child should have been aborted in utero but somehow managed to worm its way out to inflict it’s nauseating stench upon the community.

…and sims lore tossed itself upon the pyre to die a painful death for it was supposedly an alternate universe, a universe where age doesn’t matter, continuity doesn’t matter and surely, quality gameplay sure as fuck doesn’t matter worth sour owl shit either.

This would be Sims 3 to Sims 4 continuity:

Sims 3

Bella Goth - child

Mortimer Goth - child

Nancy Landgraab - adult

Geoffrey Landgraab-adult

Malcolm Landgraab-child

Sims 4

Bella Goth - adult

Mortimer Goth - adult

Nancy Landgraab - adult

Geoffrey Landgraab-adult

Malcolm Landgraab-young adult

oh…come on…man. Just try a fuckin’ little!

If the Goths were adults. Nancy and Geoffrey would both be elders, not the same age as Mortimer and Bella. This is why I can’t be bothered with the Sims 4.

At least if they were going to alter the timeline and make an AU, there is no way that Chester and Queenie Landgraab could have had Nancy any later than he did since he died of old age and Nancy was born when Chester was middle aged and going into old age. Therefore since Nancy was a older adult in Sims 3 there is no way that she would STILL BE an adult in Sims 4 when Malcolm, Mortimer and Bella were ALL CHILDREN in SIMS 3 and we’re expected to believe Bella and Mortimer and Malcolm’s PARENTS are ALL THE SAME FUCKING AGE?!!!! And evidently Malcolm is supposed to be a young adult while his compatriots are OLDER THAN HE IS????

LIKE…WTF MAN! It’s CONTINUITY OF TIME!!!

Well fuck you too, EA. AND YOUR SIMS 4 TOO!

If continuity went the way it was supposed to: Bella, Mortimer and Malcolm would be fully adults, Nancy and Geoffrey would be elders along with grumpy ol’ bag Agnes.

I don’t know how many Sims from Sims 3 came over to Sims 4 but I’m sure others will tell me.

Continuity has its basis in logical progression and even alternate universes have to follow those rules it's not a "make shit up as you go along with no logical basis" for such a situation as putting two wildly disparate in ages sims together in the same fucking high school.

There are only two ways a situation like this occurs: 1) Either Chester and Queenie are NOT the parents of Nancy Landgraab and 2) Nancy and Geoffrey are imposters. Because unless you chamge the timeline completely as well as their progenitors, the following makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Update: Are they fucking kidding me? #EADevs just took a massive shit on #SimsLore and #Continuity…and died.

Rounding a bit over the half year 2022 mark; a little over five years after starting this blog and I’ve been doing a bit of thinking:

My blog has pretty much consisted of “fluff”. Pictures, nothing really pertaining to what’s going on around the Sims scene and generally what one might not consider unique content.

So there is going to be a bit of a focus shift and moving away from the “just toss up a picture and call it a day” kind of posts that are a big part of what I used to toss up here. I’m going to try to lean towards unique, informative content to try and he helpful, maybe funny and all in all take a deeper dive into the Sims, Cities Skylines, FSX, and SWTOR and relate my experiences with the games, trying to actually put some forethought into my content before posting it up.

A part of this revamping will be getting rid of “fluff” posts (spring cleaning) and shoving non-informative posts out to pasture. If I plan to make this blog what I want it to be: a gamer’s blog, I’m going to have to step up the informational content a lot more which means until I get the hang of this new focus, my posts ain’t gonna be coming fast and furious. Right now this blog is going to be in a holding pattern while I prep the new content so that I can hit the ground running (and hopefully not trip over my feet) when I get the bew computer.

Likewise, I’m gonna have to map out a roadmap of how I’m going to focus on gaming content and on photography content - and try to figure out how to organize it so it doesn’t get confusing, learn how to tag my posts so that things are able to be found and make my user interface on my blog a bit more interactively friendly since right now it’s a godawful mess.

…and frankly it’s a wonder anyone can find anything here.

Three Premades I Use The Most

Vancouver - a world I want to do in CAW

I’ve never really bothered with customizing EA worlds. I generally play them as is. I may put a few more lots down if needed but I don’t want to mess with the current layout of the Sims 3 EA worlds. I tend to treat them as fragile because they are. You tweak the wrong thing. routing becomes gimped, and then you got problems.

Now a blessing that EA gave us was CAW for those who really want to delve in and create our own customized worlds.

Now I want to make a “Vancouver, BC” world, more detailed than the current Sneakfeline world I currently use. And I’m going to try to make it as close to the actual city (since I live near that city. I may actually try to rip assets from FSX and mesh buildings to go with that world. Iconic BC Place and Roger’s Arena - try to turn that into rabbitholes. The Telus Science Centre, Skytrain?!! Sure wish there was something akin to a non-ITF Monorail system available in Sims 3.

I will try to do every major arterial route through Vancouver: Cambie Street, Burrard Street, Broadway, Hastings, Alma Street. 41st Avenue. Main Street. Just the major arterial routes. Kingsway is going to be a pain cutting through at a diagonal and then connecting to Main Street which then punches straight through to Chinatown and Gastown. The edge of the world will be Boundary Road (the eastern edge of East Vancouver. I may touch North and West Vancouver a bit but I’ve never really spent much time on the North Shore so I’m not as familiar.

This would also have to be a homeworld university with UBC. So I have to make UBC too as well as the buildings to go along with it.

Vancouver West End is really gonna be tricky because I’m not going to want to include YVR since it’s actually Richmond, BC.

This is a heckuva world to tackle and probably not for the faint of heart. But then again…I was always stupid and never really knew when I bit off more than I could conceivably chew.
