>>1084769 Only on certain NVIDIA GPUs. It needs some kind of AI tech only they have. Idk how it works, I'm just some guy.

been playing off and on since release, mostly after they added turning off aging so my zois would stop dying randomly. i like the base game so far, there is a lot going on but its really shallow and needs to be built upon. the choice to include so many systems from the get-go (weather, animals, live jobs, cleaning, uni etc) that sims would require a whole expansion for is pretty ambitious. almost everything needs some tuning. the most annoying for me is how mean zoi's are to each other. i'm guessing that autonamy just randomly picks an action without considering anythign else, but its really bad how often the game wants to destroy any relationship you've built. this is made doubly worse by the fact that even with autonamy off, if you queue like 5 things for a zoi to do, they will still add a 'lets go tell your wife she sucks' action to the queue in the second position and it does it so often you have to micromanage it and cancel each one. i was a bit excited to try family play but after getting my zoi married i had to move the husband out. the game still considers them married, but now they live in seperate lots while i wait for the wife to have a kid. speaking of lots, picrel is a random family i clicked on but never played. even unplayed zois get gifts and they don't auto clean or open them. it'd be worse if they did open them because with this many, it'd take no time to fill up every open counter slot in their house. i at least appreciate that the simulation truly is letting other zois do their own thing even though i can't see them, i was worried about how that was handled until i switched families and found them doing all sorts of crap like sleeping to going to work.

for those playing on good comps, the best settings right now are: -select ultra preset -select custom -change anti-aliasing mode to TSR -change 'realistic shadows' to OFF -change global illumination to MEDIUM the realistic lighting causes flickering on street lamps and is a common known issue since added by the last patch. if you don't experience it, leave it enabled. global illumination to highest also has a weird scattering issue with shadows and stuff, medium looks better. vidrelated is another zoi at work but ugh these reflections, what junk even on highest settings. it looks like its reflecting a lower lod of their shirt which is causing the clipping but i'm only guessing. even the hair is the wrong color

>>1097181 The devs at least seem interested in making substantive updates to the game, so I'm hoping the depth of the game is expanded over time. I'd like to see occults/supernaturals added, along with more relationship types, as Sims always had a problem with not recognizing step-relatives as such.

Can I get the community content if I pirate the game? Also, I'd heard the dev disallow any kind of script mod or something similar.

>>1098127 You mean the Canvas stuff? Not sure, but I would imagine not. You'd have to make an account for it anyway.

>>1098127 check cs rin ru, it's all there

>>1098018 >the devs at least seem interested in making substantive updates to the game thats what i'm praising. being overly ambitious is always better than not. sims 2 vs 1 - went 3d, added all sorts of stuff that redefined what the franchise was (sorry will). sims 3 - even more ambitious to the point where it got out of hand and didn't run right without mods sims 4 - the exact opposite of the previous 2, but they got to put it on consoles and made way more money than the previous 2 combined for supernaturals, ghosts are coming in august according to the road map. there is already a bell looking item in the game that has something to do with souls, and using it does an odd effect on your screen but doesn't seem to affect anything. i presume its related to that stage of updates. i'm happy with the game for e/a, when you consider the scope of things already in and that they'll build it up as updates come, it has huge potential. i'm hoping they lean into some silliness that sims has, there is already a bit of it in the game when you go fishing and catch a shark, it just shows your zoi holding this model thats as tall as themselves in their hand and it looks goofy, exactly something i've seen in sims 3 before my sim magically stores it in his shorts-inventory. >>1098127 you can dl stuff and place it in the right folder. there is 3 lots (basically none) up on nexus, and a thread for requests on cs. but no you can't directly access the canvas feature

>>1098208 Yeah, I think the atmosphere could stand to be a bit lighter, maybe at the level of Sims 2. >ghosts are coming in august according to the road map I did hear about this, but I'd like other ones as well. At least vampires and witches would be nice.

When are they adding gameplay to this ai tool sandbox?

>>1098409 check back in 2 years

>>1098018 >along with more relationship types i remember sims 4 fucking this up even more than 3 did but i saw this recently if you happen to play 3, i'll be adding it to my own game to try next time. i'm surprised this seems like such a hard thing to get right in most of these games, but as usual sims 3 comes through https://modthesims.info/d/690424/expanded-genealogy.html

What's the nude mod situation? There's one that's paywalled or something?

Is the game good now? Any news on porn mods?

>>1098522 Oh, thanks, I've been playing 2 recently but I was thinking about going back to 3. I'll have to add this to my packages.

>>1098208 >sims 3 - even more ambitious to the point where it got out of hand and didn't run right without mods I think I spent more time trying to get Sims 3 to run higher than 15-20 FPS than actually playing the Sims 3. >>1109681 It takes a few years for mods in each Sims game to really get going, mostly because some wait until all the DLC/Expansions are released so they don't have to waste time constantly updating them. Though, I'll be surprised if things don't move faster in InZoi's case.

>>1105144 There's one on Nexus.

>>1111931 it ran fine on my 10 year old i5 4690 and a 970 with all expansions and store content installed. i recommend this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1131162350

>>1112803 Thing is, it probably runs worse on more modern hardware lol.

>>1111931 >>1113104 I've gotten TS3 to run fine on linux, there's only one slight quirk I've had to put up with is the game changing my display's gamma setting because without the display being "Washed out" you wouldn't be able to see anything in the game. Sometimes the gamma does not go back to the normal setting when the game closes, so I have to manually set it back to normal. There are still some tweaks you need to apply like to ini files to max out it's memory usage, using a frame limiter so it doesn't try to cook your gpu.

>>1113430 one of the lazy duchess mods has a fps limiter built in, its covered in the guide. first time i loaded up s3 even on my old comp my card started howling during loading lol. funny enough on my current comp when i load s3 i don't see my video card even kick in. it uses a tiny bit of vram but doesn't even bump up the clock speed at all.

saw a zoi stop in the middle of the road while the crosswalk changed, so he's walking as traffic starts moving. a car almost hit him but stopped and he did this twist around/push off animation like 'wtf'. i've only seem it once so far but thought it was a neat detail. i hope they fix up driving in general, its pretty shit, but a welcome feature

>>1112803 >>1113104 I mean, I got it to work in the end. I just meant that the effort was more time consuming than actually playing the game. >>1113430 Strange. I had that exact same problem with the screen when I tried gaming with Linux.

>>1116415 the guide is pretty long but worth it. any sims 3 enjoyer is probably already doing half the things listed anyways. now bethesda games like morrowind, oblivion, skyrim, those are 'it takes days to mod' games and i'll only enjoy oblivion for 15 hours anyways and skyrim for 5 >gaming with Linux i like and appreciate linux, but its a terrible daily driver os especially if you want games

>>1116980 All OSes are terrible at one thing or another. At the end of the day, do you game so much that you can't or won't leave Windows, or are you finally done with its shit enough to use Linux instead?

why are zois so homophobic?

i'm liking the kind of women you can create in this game, the game is sorely lacking in content department but hopefully they can make this into the sims killer it's supposed to be.

Damn, i just realized something. I made a teenage Zoi living in an apartment with her father. Once old enough I married her to me (ofc i did). Then i gave her father a younger wife (because i am a nice person), and they started to pump out kids like crazy. So, they were left out of beds. So i switched and tried to build some when... I out of accident toggled the floor... You can build on top floors also? Why is that not mentioned in the apartment description? Well, build mode for some time it is...

kids!~

>>1137358 I will now buy your game.

>>1080725 InSoy

>>1113430 >I've gotten TS3 to run fine on linux one would expect this to be possible after all the wine project started out to make sims 3 runnable on linux they still got sims 3 screenshots on the homepage of their site
