Thanks Playalot lol for your post & no you're not to far away at all! From the North or South Island? The Sims 4 is the first time I've played the Sims or any other game on a PC! Therefore it's all new to me, I only started playing last year on PC. Hmmm, it's a whole new game play that's for sure. At first it fascinated me & I was a little mesmerized by it & totally overwhelmed. I've always played the Sims on PS or Wii & they're all different, good points & bad in all platforms. I don't usually post on boards either but I have come across a few things that have stumped me with this game & it's nice to check the boards to see if others are having the same problem & if they have any solutions. And, I must say this seems to be a good board from what I've seen so far & people actually do respond lol That's a biggy, the only real pet-peeve I have with playing the Sims on PC is all the different packs you have to purchase or you can't go any further! Some packs I really don't care for at all lol, I get the expansion packs but the rest! some it is just rubbish When they first brought out the Vampire's I just I didn't care for it at all lol however, now I do play them but lets face it, all that hissing & the stupid growling that just puts me off! And I definitely don't find it amusing either . Sorry! for blabbing on, it's just nice to get that stuff out as none of my friends/family are gamer's & it's so much easier to chat to anyone who knows & understands what the hell you're going on about
