Origin is pretty bad but I need to make some people light themselves on fire and die in a pool real fast

I hope you can still make them die in kitchen fires

Not that I'll be playing 4 since 2 and 3 are a thing; I never tried 3 but enjoyed 2

the only things 3 does better than 2 is replacing the personality sliders with traits and the seamless towns. dont bother.

Also I'm Widestancer on Origin as well as Steam if anyone hasn't added me yet. I'm uncomplicated on gaming platforms save bizarre DS friend codes and poo poo

Using Origin to get free games is pretty funny

Is this a limited time thing or has EA just lost it completely and somehow thinks this will make people want to buy Sims stuff from them after that last launch?

I already know the answer :negative:

EA is pretty fascinating in that every release I see people predicting that "This time they've gone too far. EA will never see consumer money again" and every single time it still works out for them anyway

Well you see pools mean people will kill their Sims. Babies being in the game means some of the killed Sims will be babies. This leads to complications in distribution in the crucial European and Australian markets.

4 free games, actually. Battlefield 1942, Dragon Age II, Titanfall, and now Sims 2 and Peggle. I also activated my bioware games that I had in steam because why the hell not. also I haven't actually played any of the free games except titanfall once

I know that pools and babies aren't on the feature list because they're both a lot of work that needs to be spent elsewhere to be able to ship a game that supports infinite DLC, like a "pools" DLC and a "babies" one.

It's amazing how it looks exactly like what you said from out here, though. I think we're all simply expecting the worst from them by default now.

the best way to kill sims is by locking them in a house with no doors and setting it on fire
