Hey folks!!
I made an OT for sharing our Sims (and lots) by way of an Origin ID exchange.
If you have any interest in downloading new Sims and uploading your own, please post in that thread so we can get our little Gaf community going!

Haha awesome. Do you have a link for this? Or pictures?
Can you tell me what the party outfits are that are mentioned for the deluxe edition? Or make screenshots if it isn't too much troubleYup, I did this because I wanted the stuff. I became an addict

I was hesitant which version I should get but since I couldn't find anything about the deluxe outfits I picked the normal edition. I don't care much about the other items but don't want to miss clothing if they look great.

I think $35 was the right price point to get this game, and I think if they launched it here at that price, or maybe $40, with a little bit of insight as to how they're going to release expansions, people outside of the core fanbase would be feeling a whole lot better about this release. I went in 100% ready to use the 24 hour refund policy, but changed my mind.
Really, the quick loads and far better optimization this time around make a huge difference. I was expecting significant load times traveling between lots, but was really surprised at how quick they were on a standard HDD.
I found the lack of certain NPCs to be really annoying. Having to pull a fire extinguisher from your sim's ass to first put yourself out and then the rest of the fire is awful. I know you can get a fire alarm / sprinkler system, but just seems like a crappy bandaid for the lack of firemen.
Once they have some bugs ironed out, this is going to be a very solid base game, which is a goddamn nice change of pace from EA. I think once the game is bundled with some expansions and goes on sale, its going to be a great buy.
Sorry about the stream of consciousness post, but I was up way too late playing. Why does playing The Sims always seem to speed up time in real life?

I'm guessing they're all the stuff with a star by it while creating a character, I'll take some screenshots.

Mexican Origin I think.
It's about 26£ for me.

Is this a bug or I do something wrong:
Since I own Sims 2 and 3 I had a yellow and green plumbob lamp/thing I could buy. Well I cancelled the placement of the green one and now its vanished from my list of buyable things.
I bought and placed the yellow one and it's still there to buy more of.

Damn, that's about £20, which is half the price of the regular edition.
Is this regular or deluxe we're talking about?
Couldn't tell ya. I saw how expensive they were and said F' that. Are you in family inventory maybe?

I tried doing this but from going through last night I cleared most of the new item notifications by accident, but I think these are most of the ones. They're mostly jokes it looks like, with matching head pieces aside from the 2(?) formal ones. I think the blue dress is part of this by it being above the grim reaper suit but I might be wrong.

is origin counting download as playtime? lol
£26 is about $44.
I think it's Deluxe but I can't be sure, you're better off just checking yourself.
It only takes 5 minutes, maybe not even.
I'm pretty sure it's the demo time.is origin counting download as playtime? lol
So my guy died in a fire last night. Decided to cook something and it caught on fire. My fire alarm went off, but fire fighters never came. Wouldn't let me use my phone because my sim was busy trying to put himself out. Was kind of frustrating because he just stood in the fire while trying to put himself out.
I remember in the older Sim games, sims would usually freak out and run away, right? I remember sims with certain traits like Brave or something could attempt to put the fire out, while others just freaked. Eventually fire fighters came and put it out. Did they take all that out, or was my dude just unlucky?

Combination of them. First, no firefighters. You're on ya own. Second, you want to click on your Sim, as I was sitting there, watch my sim freak trying to figure out what to do when I saw that I clicked him and got the option 'Route to Safety'. That runs them outside. When I was outside, and realized that either I would let it burn out, and possibly my house, or have to fight it, I took a more measured clicking approach and found I could click on either the fire or object on fire and Use Extinguisher.
The Sims 4 is set in a post-apocalyptic world where all the firefighters were murdered by Ifrit.
Thanks.
Yup, I did this because I wanted the stuff. I became an addict

Thank you!
It's mighty tempting...Very excited to play this tomorrow!
It's only $9 through the Mexican Origins.
I must now find out to see if I can preorder Dragon Age Inquisition for $35.
I mean when I get home. I'm trapped at work. :'-(
Shiiiiit, if Sims 1 was the last one you played, you'll love this one.

Aaaand, I'd like to thank you for pointing this out as an option. Me and my wallet now have an appointment south of the border, digitally speaking.
Really hope so! I put many hours into the first Sims and loved it. Tonight I shall dive into this one

My favorite aspects - character creation and architectural design - are better than ever, which is nice, but I worry about the Gameplay. My wife is playing it right now, and from what I can tell, many of the furniture, clothing and other design choices seem rather limited, and considering there's no 'create a style' it may not be as good as previous games in the series. I never actually 'play' the Sims... I just like the creation tools lol.
Cool, I'll go check right now!
Edit: Whoops, completely missed that you corrected my price. Thanks for letting me know, haha.
Mum just offered me £20 to set up her new iPhone, and since it involved switching accounts through multiple emails and having to go through Apple support, I'll take it without hesitation. Sims 4 here I come!
Edit: Arhgh, wait, if I buy this from the Mexican store, will I be able to play right away or do I have to wait for the UK release tomorrow?

open the console with CTRL + SHIFT + C and input this:
clock._set_milliseconds_per_sim_second 1000
makes the clock same speed as RL
edit: I didn't find the default speed though.

Woot, thanks so much for the Mexican Origin store tip. Downloading now! I've loved all the other Sims games and I've been watching some of the streamers on Twitch playing this one. I couldn't justify $60 but under $40 is a great deal. I need to make Mulder and Scully sims now, like I always do!

Goddamn fantastic! Looks worse than an old Sierra Online game. GAahhaha!
*insert Xbox One port joke here*
Another quick tip in case people don't know it:
Much like when a sim goes to work, if you send a sim to another lot, leaving other household members behind, the travelling sim becomes active.
BUT, if you click on the portraits of the other sims not there, you can summon them to the lot your at, or have them do other tasks, like managing their needs, socialize with other specific sims, etc.
Pretty handy.

If the OT didn't already have a title I'd suggest we call it Thank God For Mexican Internet.

Be careful if you do this, I have heard that Origin have been blocking accounts from making future purchases because people have bought games from other regions using a VPN. Not sure if it's happened to everyone but just a warning. If you want the game cheap then CDKeys sell it for £26 ($42).

Fantastic, now I am tempted to crack my own game to see if I can manage to play the game like this.
