Guys! I have an idea!

It's a new expansion pack based entirely on the fashion and design choices of the 70s, based mostly off of the characters and homes from That 70's Show.

I tried making the characters one day only to find out that their isn't a single hairstyle for Eric in any of the packs, the closest there is to Hyde's hair is a female hair from Parenthood, and it's still not right, and in general there is very little for them to wear that would be accurate to the show and character. Honestly, the only character that you can even somewhat make accurately is Randy, and he doesn't count because he was only in one season.

I need Donna's tiny braids hairstyle and Kitty's flippy bob and Steven's fro and the Forman's living room... If we all collectively harass EA, think we could make it happen? I mean, it's realistic, so why not? We can call it "That 70's Pack"

First off, don’t harrass EA. It won’t happen most likely due to copyright and how much it would cost to get that pack made. Plus, there are plenty of cc makers who’ve made 70’s-ish cc. :s you could always try to learn how to create it yourself and add it to your game.

You can't copywrite a decade style. I'm not saying that everything should be exactly from That 70's Show, but it's a good place from them to start when it comes down to designing. Based on, not directly from.

Also stuff like that requires coding knowledge, which once you're out of high school is gonna cost money to learn, which I don't have, let alone the money for the programs and software I would need to actually make them. And I've been looking, I just don't trust downloads from any unverified site, so when it comes to CC, I'm pretty limited, and currently what's there doesn't exactly please me. Plus I don't particularly like how most of the mods for hair aren't in the same style as the game, they look highly out of place on most Sims, so most of what I do have for hair are recolours, as meshes displease me.

I also have Windows 10 and refuse to pay for WinZip, so I've only got all of two days left to download mods anyways...

I have Sims 3 technically but it just looks so bad and it made me uncomfortable to play alongside sims 4, to put it nicely. Plus it took four times longer to load than ts4 does and I'm way too impatient to put up with several minute load times anytime I wanna go anywhere or do anything. Ts3 will never again be in my computer memory.

Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? How do I fix this?

Update: It fixed itself? But we all gucci now, fam, I promise this time.

Hey all! I'm sappho. and I have, like, way too many mods and only do build mode or cas and never actually play, lol

What do y'all think of the seasons announcement? I haven't played any of the other games to know how it looks like it might compare, but I know some people have mixed feelings on it so far.

the actual video advertisement of ts4 seasons looks not that exciting to me (probably since I've played ts3 seasons vigorously, it's not my first rodeo) but I am excited nonetheless! I think was an amazing addition to ts3 so I'm sure it'll provide at least a little entertainment in ts4.

..if only I could play the sims! both ts3 and ts4 on my computer are busted :(

Random Thought If more of unrealistic sims 3 pack lovers had stood up against the critiques TS3 received, do you think EA wouldn't have gotten insecure and we would have dragons and faeries on TS4? I feel like if we had been more verbal and defended the unrealistic sims 3 packs we would have more than Vampires for TS4.

I don't know. Unhappy people who were complaining were more noisy and more visible online than people who are happy, but it's like that for everything and they know that. They know how many people bought the expansions anyway, and there are people who have bought the unrealistic expansions since the first Sims, and it should speak for itself. They can't please everybody, and I think they would have decided to please the people who felt left out by TS3 first even if we had stood up against the criticism more to not risk losing any player.
This years we had the toddlers, the pets and we will have the seasons, all of those have always been popular features so I think it's not the right time to complain, it was logical for EA to release that before releasing expansions that not everybody will like (actually I think pets and seasons should have been released in the first expansion packs and that toddlers should have been included in the game at the beginning, but that's another story).

It's frustrating for Faeries and Dragons lovers like me because it's very hard to create worlds with TS4 (yes, we could delete all buildings and families but it's time consuming), so we can't really create Fantasy worlds with mods and custom objects and clothes and we have to wait for EA to release fantasy stuffs (even if the graphism and gameplay are better now, I miss how it was easy to build worlds in TS2!).
Maybe a supernatural expansion will come after Seasons?

For the 70s (the decade not the show, I don't even know ) maybe there will be a stuff pack like there was in TS4. I am not sure of how they could do a full expansion, they'll have to add gameplay for that. Too be fair even if the 70s are cool, if I was harassing EA for an expansion set in the past I would ask for Ancient Greece, Egypt or Rome even if that will probably never exist :p (the closer from this I'll ever have is probably TS3 expansion in which we can explore pyramids).

Seasons were among my favorite expansion packs in both TS2 and TS3. I feel the risk is that they may think that since it's popular they don't have to add new stuffs in it. But if it's not that good a lot of players will be disappointed, so I hope there's something in it that we have not seen before. We'll see.
