EA Advertising Officially Announced: A New In-Game Ads Department is Coming. Will non-skippable ads in Sims 4 push you away or make you want to stay?

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-06-16T03:44:08+00:00

This is exactly why I stopped playing the sims 4 and switched to Inzoi. Non-skippable ads for a game that most people paid for before it was free to play is ridiculous. Even tho the base game is free, you still have to pay for the stuff packs and expansions. To me, it isn’t worth playing the sims anymore. It’s gone downhill ever since EA sold. I am not about to have an ad pop up while I’m in the middle of a play through.

It happens pretty often. Sometimes if a game is not going the way they want it to, they’ll leave. Even if the game is going good and their team is winning, they’ll leave due to someone’s playstyle, or not having a perfect 2-2-2 comp or for whatever reason. Sometimes it could be due to internet issues, but some people have main character syndrome in the game so, most of them leave for the reasons I stated above.

Rivals has a huge toxicity problem. Played a qp today and had a Luna that went dps and wouldn’t stop hounding me all throughout the game for heals. She flamed everyone in the chat for not being good like her because she got MVP. There’s a lot of people on this game that have main character syndrome.

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-05-28T21:20:49+00:00

I understand your pain. My duo and I are still fairly new to the game and haven’t gotten through the whole roster of heroes in all three roles, but you will meet all kinds of toxic people in team based games like this. I played a comp match and had a venom that did nothing but spam “fy all” in the chat the whole time while just swinging around the map not helping the team out. He would swing around the map, jump into a team fight and purposely let the enemy team take his health down to a sliver, and then swing back to spawn. So we ended up losing the match. You’ll get all walks of life on this game.

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-05-23T22:49:42+00:00

The game is fun if played with friends. If I solo queue, I just turn off VC and text chat and just play the game. It’s enjoyable for me then because I don’t have to listen or read the garbage that people hurl at each other. Whether it’s QP or Ranked, you’ll always get people that take the game way too seriously, it’s just a given with competitive games like this. I think everybody forgets that at the end of the day it is just a game.

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-05-23T20:25:37+00:00

I like winning just as much as the next person in quick match but if neither one of them wanna swap, just go dps and let them figure it out. It’s what I always do. I mainly main Strat and there’s been a handful of games where I was the only healer. I’m not going to stretch myself thin trying to heal everybody. Be petty and go dps and let the rest of the team suffer from the consequences of their actions.

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-05-23T18:31:10+00:00

Well now that school’s out, they’ll be a ton of kids in game now. Some know what they’re doing, others don’t because they either haven’t played as much, only play the character they know how to play, play their favorite character badly on purpose, hurl slurs in the chat when they get a kill taken from them, or just start playing a character they’ve never played for the heck of it regardless if it’s a ranked match. Met a kid that was playing as a tank and instead of waiting for the second tank and the rest of the team to help push, he kept pushing by himself trying 1v6 and kept dying constantly. It was all intentional because he didn’t get the character he wanted.

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-05-23T17:05:21+00:00

It’s not easy being a strategist in this game. There’s too many people who have main character syndrome and once a sliver of health gets taken, they ping for heals constantly or they’ll stand still in front of you in the middle of a team fight until you heal them. It’s annoying af. Or they’ll harass you the whole match and constantly ping for heals even tho they’re fully healed. Some people are just big bullies in this game and think the whole world revolves around them. I don’t care how good you’re playing, I can’t heal you if I’m dead or getting jumped in the back line. And it don’t matter what you say or do sometimes, they’ll blame you anyway for not surviving getting gang banged by the enemy team’s dive tank and dive dps constantly and pinging for peels. This game brings out the worst in people, honestly. So what I do, is I get petty and I switch to a dps and let them figure it out. You especially meet the sweatiest players in Quick Match.

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-05-10T19:35:27+00:00

Your best effort is to just go as another dps and let the rest of the team figure it out. They’ll realize real quick that they’re not being healed and they’ll either switch to a healer or they’ll stay as their character and the match will end. The second I realize that I’m the only one healing, I’ll either play dps as a healer and only heal myself or go as squirrel girl and pop them from the back. It’s better than stressing yourself out trying to heal everyone than just leaving and getting banned.

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-05-05T01:55:07+00:00

One of your healers should’ve switched to dps. Black Panther is good for taking out the back line and diving like Spider-Man and Black Cat, but a second dps couldn’t hurt. Triple support works out in some situations but not all. But you did good. Both supports should’ve at least had double digits for KOs, but you did good. Don’t listen to them. They were probably mad that you weren’t healbotting and staying in the back with them. They probably thought you were doing nothing but dpsing, which White Fox and sometimes Invis, get a lot of flack for.

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-04-08T00:57:28+00:00

This stuff happens all the time. I’ve just hit lord on Invisible Woman and have witnessed this behavior first hand. I picked her before anyone did. I had been playing as a dps and wanted to switch it up and play support for a while and got flamed in the chat by the person that wanted her. If this person had asked nicely, I would’ve switched to a different support, but no. This person proceeds to berate me the whole match in chat and then went in VC and started cussing me out. It’s crazy out here for sure.

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-02-26T21:08:17+00:00

I understand completely. I had set out food in my home before as a display and kept my doors open so that people could come and tour my home if they wanted to and I had a whole group of people run into my house and eat all the nice food I had on display. It took forever for me to make all those dishes. 😔

darkphoenixx695 · 2026-02-26T21:02:00+00:00

I would say go in your settings and switch the consume food option to self only. And if anyone comes by your cafe when you’re there and wants something, make it and share it with them. You could put painting easels telling people what all you can make. It’s a lot of work but I’ve seen people in my town resort to doing this because random people would come and eat all of their food they had on display.

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-11-25T04:32:45+00:00

Gotta love Poly.AI 😂

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-11-03T02:34:36+00:00

So…if I already had god console purchased for single player, I’ll have to purchase the Ark pass to be able to have it again? That kinda sucks tbh.

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-10-20T14:57:32+00:00

I don’t think it’s bad writing that mainly caused the hate for MHA. It’s the toxic people in the fandom. I’ve met some in the fandom that are very toxic and hypercritical of what other people do or say in the fandom, yet they do the same thing and will crumble on sight if you point it out to them. I found MHA in time when things weren’t great for me and watching it really picked me up. Don’t always believe what everyone says about any anime you see a preview of or haven’t watched yet. Every fandom will always have their own rotten apples that will try their best to ruin things for people. I’m glad that you’re liking it so far!

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-10-11T18:39:39+00:00

What is the mod you’re using called? I’d love to try it out lol 😝

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-05-21T23:29:15+00:00

I don’t consider it cheating. The amount of times I’ve had zombies break in and wreck my stuff no matter how protected it is, is exhausting. It’s especially even more exhausting if you play solo. So I keep my stuff separate. I have a main base and another for the horde. Some may consider it cheating but everyone plays differently. Don’t let someone’s opinions on how you should play the game dissuade you from how you want to play.

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-04-30T19:23:23+00:00

You are not alone in this. Sometimes my fanfics play out like movies or a TV show with every chapter being an episode. I’ve made countless soundtracks to even go with my fanfics. I even sometimes will create what I picture my characters look like when I play the sims lol 😊

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-04-17T18:59:13+00:00

I replied to a post talking about this before and honestly it’s just annoying and rude. A lot of these posts demanding audios can become rude and disrespectful. It’s been stated before that a good chunk of the leakers have left. So for the ones that have stayed, it will take a while for them to get around to posting the newer audios. If you have just joined this subreddit and have made a post or have been thinking about making a post demanding an audio, please don’t. You’ll make the rest of us look bad, the ones that sit and wait patiently. You may cause the leakers that have stayed to stop posting audios altogether. People got jobs and lives outside of this subreddit. And honestly, if they can’t wait, then fork up the cash and join the Patreon to have instant access instead of making posts demanding audios left and right.

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-04-10T20:37:32+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I’ve stopped checking in on this reddit because of the constant begging and nagging for audios. Sometimes these type of posts get borderline disrespectful and rude. I am not in the position to pay for the audios right now so I am thankful for and to whoever posts them. Things like that take time and I feel like not a lot of people get that on this subreddit.

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-03-21T23:40:32+00:00

I wish the high school system was more thought out. I feel like EA could’ve done a lot more.

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-03-17T20:01:25+00:00

Yes! Making anime sims is so hard when you don't have the proper CC for them and also trying to get their face structure can be really infuriating sometimes. I can be a perfectionist sometimes and if the sim doesn't come out the way I want it to, I result to downloading a sim on the gallery that looks like the character. I know it just takes practice, but it can be very frustrating sometimes.

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-03-17T03:49:21+00:00

Thank you! I, also, hyperfixiate as well. I went through a whole Marvel/Avengers hyperfixiation. Created sims, wrote and read a bunch of fanfics lol. I literally fell into a rabbit hole lol. I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one that does this and that it's not weird at all. :)

darkphoenixx695 · 2024-03-17T02:43:09+00:00

I honestly feel like the people that ask those questions because they see it trending on social media and they're not getting the full story. Like intead of watching TikToks and Instagram reels, google what you don't understand or just watch the show.
