@susie @justnormalkorean maybe part of why it's taking so long is that they're trying to get a DRM solution like denuvo working while still letting players mod the game. or perhaps there are more online components that implicate multiple users and they're trying to figure out how to get mods working in that capacity.

i don't think ANYONE plays vanilla sims unless they're on console, if they launched sims 5 without mod support they'd be cooked instantly.

@justnormalkorean oh boy if they think that's excessive or extreme wait until they see my mod list

the news about EA potentially banning people for sims mods came around a couple years ago i think. it was heavily suggested by everyone that you should be playing your game offline if you didn't want your account banned.

i've bought a fair amount of sims stuff, probably about $100 worth all said and done. i do not feel bad in the slightest for pirating everything else, especially when newer releases lack in substance for the price (you STILL can't have cars for your sims in sims 4 even if they're only going to be displayed for small animations and decoration).

@Humpleupagus @justnormalkorean this post belongs in the fedi hall of fame

@matrix i feel really sorry for the people who used this. even before the leak happened.

ughhh i've run into a really annoying bug for my game that involves an infinite EXP exploit for magic casters. tried a variety of different things and nothing is working.

one thing almost works, but only for the first time you cast the spell involved in the exploit. not any subsequent times. and i have no idea why.

@MaleGoddess @Mr_NutterButter i assume there are environmental factors, even ones that don't affect genetics but do affect psychological development. i have a very autistic cousin and i'm willing to bet he'd be better off if his parents didn't use it as a crutch and an excuse for everything. i'm sure the existence of things like parents leaving their kids alone with ipads and being more or less vacant doesn't help either.

although i haven't studied this really and it is just a pure guess, i've also always thought that it is becoming more common because whatever genetic makeup leads to it has proliferated. if you have parents that have the potential to have autistic offspring but don't, then their child may be even more likely to have an autistic child. just a thought.

also it's funny talking about this underneath nagatoro hentai xD fedi in a nutshell.

@MaleGoddess @Mr_NutterButter i don't believe that for a second, can you back that up? this is just the first result that comes up when i do a search for "is autism genetic"

https://www.uclahealth.org/news/release/new-genetic-clues-uncovered-largest-study-families-with

autism probably doesn't come from genetics alone, but i feel like it does play a factor.

regardless, the point remains the same.

@Mr_NutterButter yeah, eugenics and natural selection is a super ethically questionable topic. modern medicine allows genes which may not be the greatest to continue, however even people who are FUBAR can provide meaningful contributions to society, sometimes BECAUSE of their "poor genes." i mean, take autism for instance.

i think it is fair enough to say that we shouldn't be the arbiter for that sort of thing.

@Mr_NutterButter my beard is about the only thing that is genetically superior xD if i have kids they'll probably be pretty fucked but good news is i'll know what they're going through

@Mr_NutterButter implying my genetics aren't already weak

oh, you mean you COMPLETELY FUCKED UP THE LOOK OF THE GAME??

WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN MEEEEE
