The ending of Stardust is very different from the ending of the book where...although, she still becomes Queen. I didn't think the ending of The Stand was all that great.

Hey, I freely admit I'm addicted to Motherlode.

Exactly...is there anyone who DIDN'T kill Tenpenny after nuking Megaton? I just wanted the house.

They went for a more cartoony, TS2 style than TS3. Thank goodness. TS3 Sims creeped me out with that water-bloated fat face.

I don't think The Sims series has ever had a semi-decent launch. This one is pretty bad, though. I'm not sure how they could have missed it. Most likely, EA said..."GOLD!!! MAKE IT GOLD!!! We'll patch it later!" and intentionally pushed it this way. How big of a bug must it be that intentionally pushing out a bad…

There was one from TS2 that said, "Fixed a bug that caused Young Adults to become pregnant (TS2 YA's couldn't get pregnant) after using the Gyro(something or another) when on a Community Lot." Ummm...What?

Or, they could have just said Window 7, 8, or 8.1

Probably should have sunk more time into designing game play instead of trying to get it to run on the SimCity engine.

Did you just tech talk me? That's usually reserved for making people's eyes glaze over so they stop asking questions. Do you work for EA? :P Just kidding.

Actually, that's not true. x86 versions of Windows can access something like 3.72...or is it 3.75? I can't remember. Anyway, it reads just under 4GB of RAM which is why they say the max memory for a 32 bit system is 4GB.

OS: 64 Bit Windows 7,8, or 8.1

KAJIMA!!!!!! (At least that's what I think he's saying....which can translate to DON'T GOOOOO!!!!!)

I'm OK with MP being in there. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I only have an issue with it if I'm forced to play it in order to get the best possible ending for my game. I'm kind of once bitten twice shy on Bioware and EA adding MP to an RPG after Mass Effect 3.

Exactly.

My only concern here is whether or not they learned their lesson with ME3. EA and Bioware swore up and down MP was optional, but in truth, if you didn't play, it was nearly impossible to get the amount of War Assets you needed for a good ending. In the end, they lowered that amount, but I would still be concerned EA's…

I named mine Alistair on mt second play through. That was funny.

Funny part is you used to be able to install multiple games at once. Then they moved to "queue" style.

There is some truth to mind over matter. There have been studies of people in deep hypnosis being submerged in ice water and being told it's a warm bath and they're just happy as a lark bathing in a bird bath. Whether or not this is staged or dramatized, beats me, and frankly, I don't care. But, it is possible.

I guess for me, I like getting achievements, but I don't feel like I HAVE to get them. There's only one game where it's nagging me to get every single one...and that's because I have all BUT one of them. But, even then...it's been sitting there flaunting itself for 7 years. I shrug at it and open another game.

It's the white sauce that turns me off. Without knowing what it is, my immediate thought is Alfredo and I DETEST Alfredo.
