There's another "Life" game out there now, isn't there? I checked it out a while back but can't remember what it's called.

There's one called Vivaland in development that released a build/buy component to play with. Paralives is due to come out sometime next year, and that's one I'm really excited about. Project Rene (often referred to as Sims5) is in the works, but it doesn't look like my kind of game - it's going to be more of a "phone game" where you can play it on phones, computers, tablets, etc., so I don't think it can be that deep. Sims 4 is just flat-out broken at this point from what I've seen. I'll never do away with Sims 3, but I sometimes wonder if all the things available online - the worlds, store content, etc. might someday be closed down and inaccessible. Thankfully, I have most of the game on discs, so they can't take that away. InZoi is looking better than I expected after watching some of the YouTubers play through it a bit, but the company is pretty tight-lipped about the monetization structure they are going to use, so it might be a pretty expensive game to play.

I feel the same way about "Project Rene/Sims 5" Not too impressed with it. Besides if they treat it like they're treating Sims 4 - Then that's a serious pass. I too feel Sims 4 is sadly broken as well.

I read awhile back, if/when EA closes the Sims 3 Store they'll give everyone a heads up. So that we can download the store files for backup or whatnot.

I too am curious if the Sims 3 store files will be usable if/when they close the store.  I suppose it depends on if they try to disable the Sims 3 launcher or not. If that's even possible for those of us that have the 1.67 install / disc based game.

The other game I was talking about is called New Life. I considered it for a while but liked S3 better. I've never tried S4 so I can't comment. Based on everything I've heard, I'm not remotely interested.
I'll stick with S3 as long as it's available. I don't have any of the disc since I d/l'd it from Steam.

I dropped in on Sandi French and her family. It's been awhile.

I always enjoy how you interpret the thought bubbles. Since I don't play with story progression I haven't developed that skill. :D
I also don't have the patience to wait until they get enough money to buy a piece of furniture. I'll evict the household and put furniture, etc in with Edit Town then move them back in. I'll also do that if a bed isn'tgiving them the best ight's sleep and they need a new bed or something else needs to be changed. I like that the game doesn't demand that something needs to be done "next". I've played other games where you have to do "this" before you can do "that".
I think since my stroke I have to keep things simple.

Thank you for another set of great stories. :)

I don't know if it's from some kind of personal unrecognized issues but my Sims all seem to have the same positive traits since Ive never thought to randomize them. It's like I'm looking to create Utopia in Riverview. :D
