Can't Open Business unless your Sim lives in that lot (Business and Hobbies)

[CuddlyVamp]

It's what it says. Your sim cannot open their small business in a business venue unless they are also living there (residential lot). You can spam the ticket box or the open and close sign but it will do absolutely nothing. Great job, EA! The main feature of the pack, BUSINESSES, doesn't work at all! That's an insane level of incompetence even Ubisoft can't compare.

This is normal. the main feature of the weddings DLC didn't work either.
EA doesnt have professionals working on the game, if they do have professionals working on the game then they are doing a bad job on purpose.

Inzoi and Paralives can't come soon enough.

you can own a business as a seperate lot however you have to buy it via computer or phone theres no option to buy it in the ui tab like vets/retail stores

i own a small pottery store on the lot next to my house

That how it been done since the business aspects started and must rely on mods to get close to what you want.

I don't understand these DLCs where you commit a sim to do the same thing all day every day until they're elders. Sounds boring.

Been hearing about "paralives" for 10 years. They spam Sims 4 boards and spread Sims 4 hate. People that will do that will push out a sub par game without a second thought.

It's literally coming out this year.
Inzoi alone will cause numbers to plummet

I doubt it will be as significant as you might think considering that both Krafton and EA are cash grabby billion dollar industries where inZOI is a competitor for The Sims 4 and not a replacement. I am currently not interested in playing inZOI even with it being made available on Steam starting this month. I might watch more inZOI videos on YouTube for free, but not actually play it at least partially because of its high system requirements that requires an expensive gaming computer to even play it. A big gaming industry can only become a billion dollar industry by being cash grabby and all of this hype about inZOI is probably going to go down at least a little bit after a few months of release.

Also, inZOI having micro transactions despite it being an open world game is not that hard to imagine because Krafton is a billion dollar industry and has a net worth that is currently higher than Paradox that cancelled Life By You. The worst thing inZOI could possibly do right now is more people interested in playing that game than Project Rene when Project Rene officially comes out without necessarily hurting sales too much with The Sims 4. My prediction for when Project Rene is officially coming out is possibly as early as 2026 (but unclear as to when during that year), but what I think is going to happen is more people are going to be playing inZOI than Project Rene despite inZOI's high system requirements to even play it.

Makes sense why it's taking long. It started out with ONE person and they rely on pateron to fund it. The fact it's gotten to where it is now is honestly impressive. The Sims will always be my first love but I'm definitely ready to be obsessed with something new with how they've been with recent game releases.

[Xenon The Noble]

So, you guys think paralives is ever going to release a DLC, given that the main game tool a decade?
Rather obvious that other game folks are here to shill their games. FO4 got it big time with FOLON, which doesn't even run on the version that Steam sells.

I doubt it, simply because even the minimal requirements are very high. Like James said above, people who want to play Inzoi will need a top-notch gaming computer. That's a huge investment for those who don't already own one, and most people won't buy a new computer just for one game. Paralives is much more accessible in terms of system requirements, as far as we know, so if any of those two games is a real contestant for the Sims, it's probably going to be Paralives because more people will be able to run it on their current computers.

This entire statement is wrong.

Inzoi requires a 2060. That's not a top-notch gaming computer.

Some 2060 computers cost more than $1,000 USD and any computer that costs 1k+ USD or close to that number (especially within the $800+ USD range) is expensive. There would need to be other reasons to buy a computer that expensive besides only playing inZOI. Also, 12 GB of RAM being the minimum requirement and an above average graphics card is something that probably the average player would not have access towards. So that clown award I got is meaningless and my point still stands that high system requirements to even play it and 2060 can be expensive even if it is not a top-notch gaming computer according to you which I can officially guarantee will prevent some people from ever buying inZOI. Add on top of that as well that inZOI will most likely have micro transactions involved that will be added later, because Krafton is a billion dollar gaming industry similar to EA. Why play inZOI when it would be much easier to play Stardew Valley (which has 98% positive reviews on Steam)/Paralives because of them having lower system requirements than inZOI?

I'm sorry, no - Can you stop spreading false information please?! You can get a pre built 2060 on Ebay right now for $300. You can get a $1,000 4070TI build.

Edit: you can get a prebuilt 4060 build for $799 on Newegg right now.

Keep in mind these are prebuilt as well, so if you can do it yourself which is INSANELY easy you can easily shave off $150+ or so on the 4060 build. It's very entry level right now.

Edit: Better yet you can buy a 4060 for $299.99, slap it into your current pc and some extra ram for less than $50 and run Inzoi just fine.
