The Sims 1 Music is...Different.
The Sims 1 soundtrack displays a level of artistry and musical theming that remains unmatched to this day:
Highly suspicious that in these, you know, times, EA has chosen to release content that's clearly intended for Pride Month... in April.
I'm guessing to avoid scrutiny in June ? Or because they know another EO is coming ? In any case, I can only see it as a sign that there will be nothing for Pride Month this year coming from EA. It's a type of "obeying in advance" that I hadn't seen yet from a company : we still support... but we also do it when it's less symbolic.
Updated my old Occlusion article because I saw this "custom" AO by placing meshes and a simple texture in addition to the SSAO ins Sims 4: https://simonschreibt.de/gat/deus-ex-occlusion/#update2

If you never heard about it, I can highly recommend LGR‘s video about this gem.
The Sims is 25 years old. @Smithsonianmag takes a look at its enduring appeal and cultural impact.

Sto valutando se recuperare le riedizioni di TheSims uscite nei giorni scorsi per l’anniversario. Mai giocati, sempre percepiti come #videogiochi sopravvalutati o meglio, non ho mai colto il valore di quel gameplay da badante.
Senza l’effetto nostalgia, lo sconsigliereste spingendomi sulla versione #TheSims 4 più recente? (l'edizione base, con tutti i dlc pare costi più di €1000).
Come dovrei affrontarli, come ruolo in cui riproduco mio alter ego o come allevamento “pokémon”?
The Sims 1+2 arrivano su Steam con problemi tecnici e recensioni miste!

EA re-release The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 on PC as DLC-stuffed Legacy editions - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ea-re-releases-the-sims-1-and-the-sims-2-on-pc-as-dlc-stuffed-legacy-editions #Birdview/Isometric #NintendoGameCube #ActionAdventure #ElectronicArts #SinglePlayer #NintendoGBA #NintendoDS #Simulation #Strategy #TheSims2 #TheSims #Aspyr #Maxis #Xbox #PS2 #RPG #PSP #PC
Interestingly each individual bundle also comes with... TS4 content !
TS1 comes with the "Throwback Fit Kit" : https://help.ea.com/en/help/the-sims/the-sims-legacy-collection/the-sims-minimum-requirements/
TS2 comes with the "Grunge Revival Kit" : https://help.ea.com/en/help/the-sims/the-sims-2-legacy-collection/the-sims-2-minimum-requirements/
That's an odd choice imho. But given the value of TS4's kits, it's not even a great gift.
Okay I opened the EA App just to see what we're dealing with here, and it's not the worst pricing I've seen, especially accounting for the fact that, you know, it's EA. But yeah, it looks like there's no way to avoid paying for games you might already own.
It's (of course ?) much better to pay for the big Birthday Bundle, rather than buying TS1 and TS2 separately.
The system requirements will require some looking up for hardware-illiterate me, but it seems decent at first glance.
You know a game is sh*t when you're more excited about the re-release of its previous iterations than about new content.
Anyway, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the franchise, EA has re-released (...for a price, of course) all games and packs of TS1 and TS2 !

There is a bundle with both games, or you can get these classic games separately.
