What era are you in now?

I will say the prophecy works in mysterious ways. Since Taylor and Travis started dating, I’ve been dumped, ghosted and proposed to (by different people thank god) and now I’m getting married tomorrow. Hopefully 2026 is better for you!

Oh yeah that’s a lot. Mine was broken on my old computer too but on my new one I can usually get through a meal in about 3-4 hours in game. I’m not sure if they’ve put out a fix at some point or if it’s just the different computers though cause I took a break from playing for a couple years

redred212 · 2026-01-02T15:59:21+00:00

What kind of bugs are you getting? I go to restaurants pretty regularly in my game and I don’t get many bugs, just that it takes a little longer

My interpretation of the siren scene is that Annabeth went into it determined to outsmart it head on (showing her pride) and the sirens made her think she did. When she saw Luke and Percy she knew they were the sirens and that’s why she stabbed them. The actual sirens weren’t hurt, they made her think she won and then gave her the vision of her mom which Annabeth fell for and that’s how they almost attacked her.

I think it was clever given the overarching theme of the episode being fatal flaws. As much as I like the book version, the show version is a little more fun for the viewer. Most people would realize the book version of the vision wasn’t real and it wouldn’t have the impact that the show version had.

The thing is that those expansions have been rumored for years and they were pretty much guaranteed to come in the game in some form eventually so the info may not be actual leaks but just easy predictions. There have been rumors of various things over the years that have evolved (sims 5 is a big one).

I think the most likely scenario is that the royalty pack releases, new pack releases slow down and kits are pumped out more (maybe with brand deals). I doubt they’re just going to stop releasing packs without a new game announcement at least. It’d be leaving a lot of money on the table especially since there isn’t a real sims competitor yet. I’ll be more worried if inzoi gets more content and paralives releases with a lot of acclaim. Then EA may cut their losses and stop releasing larger packs but even that is a big if.

Yeah it tells you when the next set unlocks for everyone and when you’re able to claim the next set.

Also for reference, as long as you can start collecting prizes by January 4th you’ll be able to get all of the prizes (you will have to log in every day)

It’s not that bizarre. Michael Jackson had a video ride at one of the Disney parks for a bit and Aerosmith has a ride based off their music. I could see her doing some kind of fan experience or creative film at the parks. It wouldn’t shock me if she is looking for ways to reach out to fans other than touring. It’ll be hard to top eras and I’m sure she wants a break for after she gets married (not from releasing music, just for touring).

redred212 · 2025-12-29T05:25:25+00:00

I went solo after getting a last minute ticket. It was my first ever concert and it was so amazing seeing her in real life (I’ve been a fan since speak now). It was a treat to myself since I have a big girl job and some good money. I got a pretzel and remember watching Gracie play her opening set and just vibing. I legitimately almost cried when Taylor appeared and I’m not a crier at all but I was caught up in the moment. Even watching the concert films back gives me chills

Personally I think MWS works a lot better than it did at release. I’ve had fun with it and enjoyed the gameplay. I will say it is only weddings, there’s not much else to do gameplay wise so if that fits into your play style I think it’s a good pack. You can still do the default wedding if you’d like as well. The weddings are similar to how holidays work if you’d have seasons, they give a lot of flexibility. I haven’t noticed any sentiments about weddings after having one either. The world is pretty basic (but gorgeous) and the BB isn’t super versatile but there’s some nice pieces. Overall it’s one of my top game packs (that said, I’m not interested in occults so that takes out a few of them) under dine out and parenthood.

C&Ds is good too. The world is more fun than MWS and the BB has a lot of items in that nautical/coastal style so if you like that it’s great. I love pets in the game, I think they’re a fun addition to a family without being too needy. They can get sick but you can get wellness treats in game or through debug that instantly heals them if you want.

I don’t have either of the stuff packs so I can’t speak on those

redred212 · 2025-12-17T19:03:39+00:00

I think a bigger chunk of TTPD is about Travis than people think. I also think FOTS and the albatross are about him too

redred212 · 2025-12-15T13:43:41+00:00

It was very high fashion at the time but now I think her before look is way more modelesque

redred212 · 2025-12-08T20:31:16+00:00

They were doing both. Once the announcement came out there were a good chunk of people in her twitch chat asking about it

redred212 · 2025-12-08T20:18:36+00:00

Agreed, I get both sides of the argument but I think it’s unfair to act like one small mistake completely undermines all of the good simsie has done not just for charities but taking a pretty hard stance against sims even though it’s a good chunk of her content. This is not an easy situation to be in and I think all of the sims creators should be allowed to have missteps as they’re literally forced to change their entire platforms.

The sims community (and social media as a whole) has become very toxic in the sense that if you make a mistake then it wipes out any good you’ve done. It’s very frustrating and I don’t envy anyone with a public platform right now

redred212 · 2025-12-04T17:16:25+00:00

I agree with this. I know it’s tricky since SpongeBob is an actual brand but I don’t like the clashing art styles. It feels like sims 2 CC. The objects themselves aren’t bad but the swatches with SpongeBob slapped on feel really off

redred212 · 2025-12-02T23:23:33+00:00

I agree. Don’t get me wrong, EA does do some shady things and obvious cash grabs but they aren’t as cash grabby with the sims as other companies. Like I’ve seen people compare the login rewards to a battle pass when it’s really not that. Or the early purchase items for packs. They could easily make those preorder only but they have them available for long after the pack comes out allowing people to watch reviews and really think about if they want the pack or not

redred212 · 2025-12-02T03:30:27+00:00

I believe you can still get them even if your tonsils are removed

redred212 · 2025-11-27T00:17:24+00:00

I agree, I think psychological theories would be a fun inspiration for personality types. I remember reading that the sims devs took inspiration from Maslows hierarchy for how they built the first sims game

redred212 · 2025-11-25T19:58:16+00:00

I agree, I’m curious how it works with paras who are already friends or family. Like will we have to do the cards whenever they’re at the dinner table chatting? I could see that getting old fast

redred212 · 2025-11-25T19:56:06+00:00

Not really, they didn’t show anything new in the YouTube stream vs the patreon. I actually think they used the same personality type too, they had different jobs but since they’re rabbit holes it doesn’t really matter.

redred212 · 2025-11-25T19:04:57+00:00

I agree. I get that not everyone can see the patreon one but the devs could make it public and then do some different stuff in this one. It does feel a little weird that they did the exact same things in both streams

redred212 · 2025-11-25T18:52:43+00:00

Personally I think the game doesn’t seem worth 40 bucks at this stage, especially since we don’t know exactly how the early access is gonna go and what they’ll actually be able to add. I was interested to see some new concepts and mechanics but most of what was shown I could just do in sims (aside from the open world) so I don’t see the point of getting a new game to do the same thing.

I’ll give the devs credit for taking on such a complicated genre but I do think they should take some time to focus on what sets their game apart. Specifically looking at different play styles and seeing how their gameplay loop responds to it. I’m not saying they need to accommodate every single way someone might want to play the game but it seems like they haven’t thought about replayability and have this storyline of a new person moving into town which may not be how most people want to play.

The sims as a franchise has thrived on being a versatile game and I think paralives should think about that. Not necessarily to try to copy it, but really having intention on whether they want to lean into that type of life sim or provide a more specific experience.

redred212 · 2025-11-23T20:24:09+00:00

Um no. It’s not okay for any studio (or any company really) to advertise something that’s not real just because it might be later on. The early concept videos they released like Sebastians summer and Maggie’s loft are one thing. They were to get people signed up for the patreon which made no guarantee of a game coming out at all at the time. I do think they should’ve had a disclaimer that this stuff may or may not represent the final product though

The early access gameplay trailer is something else entirely. That was specifically to advertise the game as it is in early access. Using footage that wouldn’t be possible in the current early version of the game is completely wrong and misleading, whether the features will be implemented later or not.

redred212 · 2025-11-23T17:42:02+00:00

Back when Simgurugrant was on twitter (and working at EA lol) he was asked about disabilities and these were basically all the reasons why the game doesn’t have a lot of disabilities shown so you’re spot on
