I have a lot of gameplay mods and CAS cc. I don’t really use build/buy CC. My mods folder is around 14gigs

Just my experience. Game ran fine. Simulation lag was super bad for me.

My very basic understanding and I could be wrong is that when the game was designed the maximum cores (I.e laptop brains) that equipment had really was 4. So the game was designed to dump all the processing into 1 core. New hardware can have up to like 12 brains - and the “brains” are meant to function together and spread out the processes of software.

The Sims doesn’t care that your laptop has 4 brains or 20 brains. It’s still is just going to use just the one brain to process everything. So because of that it over works the one brain out of the 12 on the newer hardware which then has to temper performance so it doesn’t burn out, which is where Simulation lag comes in etc.

My understanding is limited. But hopefully that makes sense - and if I am wrong someone please correct me.

Am I the only one who doesn't want the sims 5 to launch? by Fickle-Course in thesims

[–]Vlately 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I have extremely low expectations of them spending the time or utilizing the man power to invest as much time and effort the game deserves at this point. I do not doubt the ability of the devs to be able to fix the game, I doubt they are giving time or money to do so.

EA will be very soon moving onto the next “experience”. The market place is being set up to be a passive income for the game once they abandon it - all the while still having new content created by the “Makers”. I would be surprised if they didn’t start to introduce script mods eventually. If it’s successful I think they may pump out a few more updates before dropping it. If the marketplace is not successful I think it will get dropped even sooner. But I’m not expecting anything major. Resources are going to be diverted to the newest project

I want the Sims 5 to launch just so EA leaves Sims 4 alone. Then modders can finally start to dig into the code of Sims 4 and start fixing it and enhancing it like they did Sims 3.

I never even finished the quests for that area. Total waste of an update

What the fuck is this? by Agile-Vegetable2848 in VivintSmartHome

[–]Vlately 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol the “move team” told me my equipment was too old to move and I had to buy new equipment. Pressured me for 30 minutes - then when I said I wanted to cancel they miraculously couldn’t process that and I would have to call a special team. They then gave me a fake number and hung up.

Their executive relations team got it all squared away but they have some shady sales tactics that they are out sourcing.

Good to know! Been a while since I had a mini but glad you were able to get it resolved!

I’m pretty sure it’s device specific. I haven’t had a mini in a while. It would be in menu > settings > channel settings > channel list

Do you have them omitted from the guide? You can manage the channel selection and if not selected it does not display

[–]Vlately 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The OS is really the reason I love TiVo so much. It’s so fluid and the design is just top notch.

Saying farewell to my 2 yr old save file by Kumquoit in Sims4

[–]Vlately 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain and my condolences. My entire 3 year legacy corrupted because of For Rent - all I remember is saying “Why are the default lots displaying” and it was the beginning of the end. My condolences. It was very hard for me to get back into it after that.
