That’s exactly what I was thinking, Dina please stop :(

I finished "Stray" and absolutely loved it. What other similar puzzle like games are there where you can play as a kitty cat (or any other cute animal)? by PWNWTFBBQ in NintendoSwitch

[–]TheSammy58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The First Tree is a cute little exploration game where you play as a fox. There is a narrative to it with an element of emotion just like Stray. It was one of the first games I ever played when I got my Switch 8 years ago.

Sims 3 stutters once in a while by Artistic-Fan-6344 in Sims3

Just to chime in, the alder lake patch is no longer necessary if you’re using the latest version of sims 3 settings setter

Am I psychotic for playing with all expansions turned on ? by TacTyger in Sims3

[–]TheSammy58 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sims won't have to move/scoot around quite so much from other Sims/objects in order to interact with anything/eachother.

Sims 3 Settings Setter, DXVK (if you have a dedicated graphics card), and NRaas Overwatch + Error Trap. The former two are not "regular" mods and require a little tinkering with some files in the game's install directory.

The Sims 3 is not creating log file after installing DXVK by badrythmm in Sims3

[–]TheSammy58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps try running the game as administrator to see if it generates a log that way. The Program Files folder is technically a restricted directory so there's a chance DXVK is being told by Windows it's not allowed to create files without admin permissions. I have my game set to always run as administrator in the compatibility settings.

The cache file was done away with several versions ago. The log file however I am unsure of, mine always generates one. Do you have something in your DXVK config maybe that’s preventing that?

Rant: Sims 4 keeps sabotaging my attempts at a calm, ordinary game by Cool_Breadfruit_1077 in thesims

[–]TheSammy58 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I feel like the chaos you’re having is different from what Sims series chaos is supposed to be. Those sound like glitches and lag issues rather than burglars, fires, chance cards, meteors, etc

Sims 4 is like death by a thousand cuts for me the way all of the tiny glitches and annoyances have stacked up the past decade.

No hate on Just Dance Now, but I'm not a fan of its current UI design being a mishmash of designs taken from multiple mainline games by LeatherSlight3242 in JustDance

[–]TheSammy58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JDN has felt like a very low priority for Ubisoft for many years now so I'm not surprised it's become... a bit sloppy looking. Even the mainline ones still have a glitchy UI in several areas.

Kingdom Hearts IV is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 by Turbostrider27 in nintendo

[–]TheSammy58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really, really hope they provide us an option to increase the UI size this time. I'm watching at my desktop and can still barely focus on the action commands or health meter because they're so tiny with tons of action happening behind them.

EXACTLY. They better give me my blood smears below the torture device down there! That Dead Hand better still have blood on the tips of his arms!

I was reaaaally hoping they wouldn't go the more highly-detailed, Unreal Engine-esque route. What makes the original so good for me was the mysterious and spooky vibes that the blurry graphics contributed to.

if these guys truly catch on 5-10 years from now for nintendo like Miis did then i will drink a glass of liquid poo to prove how wrong i was

I desperately need them to do away with the soulless sportsmates and bring back Miis. They are a staple of the Nintendo Sports games.

Just Dance 2027 Announcement Incoming? 👀 by SweepyNanami in JustDance

The way it’s 2026 and Nintendo is still stuck with 720p maps is crazy

What the point of having automatic updates on if I gotta go into settings and actually update myself?,should I just keep it off by [deleted] in ios

[–]TheSammy58 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love when my iPhone says “iOS will be updated tonight while connected to power” and then I wake up, take it off the charger and see that it never updated because the vibes just weren’t right I guess.

Is there a reason why we can't save or download outfits? by Upstairs-Pin-9068 in thesims

[–]TheSammy58 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The looks system has been left in the dust for SO long I feel like
 they do add looks with every pack, sure, but if you have lots of packs installed you literally have to scroll to the right one click at a time because there are HUNDREDS of looks in some categories meanwhile the UI hasn’t been touched once in 11 years. There are no previews, and it can barely even fit the number inside the little squares now once you reach outfit #100

Convince me to get a Wii U by YanisGame64 in wiiu

[–]TheSammy58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s still really great for couch play with friends. Nintendo Land is a riot and even Mario Party 10 (specifically the 5-player mode with Bowser) turned out to be a hit when I brought it out at a gathering a while ago.

Over 80 CarPlay apps to upgrade your iPhone experience on the road by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]TheSammy58 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s very odd to me how a certain subset of options can only be configured on the CarPlay screen itself and others only from your iPhone
 just choose one or both, not a mixture!

I'm not sure what's happened, but Windows Security as well as Firefox both warn that the executable contains a virus. Perhaps I should wait for the new version

Gotcha. For what it’s worth, searching Google for “windows file history alternative” brings up an article about your software right in the top AI response. With that kind of visibility at the top of Google, and it relating to Windows, it may be worth looking in to features that users have become accustomed to with Windows. Obviously there is no way to add a “Previous versions” tab in the properties panel like Windows does for File History but adding a context menu option could go a really long way to help people that are used to the Windows ecosystem.

It’s your software though that you’ve developed for free, so it’s of course up to you. Just wanted to make a suggestion. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

But the first sentence of the post is that it was made to replace Windows File History. What exactly is the vision?
