But I find that the option with a combined update + expansion is the easiest solution, for all of us.   So we will go for that, if possible. And of course: there will be torrents for all future Ultimate fixes in TS4 too, alongside the regular MEGA-links.

Make them a lot more human looking.

Well, that's up to everybody's taste I guess. As for me, I'm having enough already of "human-looking" beings from real-life, every day.   Not sure if I myself would need things like that in a video game, though the possibility to be able to do so is still nice. I think that if you change too much about the game, then it will cease to be The Sims, and just become a (bad ?) clone of something else ("Second life", or whatever that was called, for example).

This is tumblr one of the marginalized places on the web, for good reason, it's as about as reliable as a bag with holes in, i would take absolutely no notice from anything from there.

I split the posts and merged them to this one here. If you wish to discuss about in-depth issues, please do so in the "TS4 chit-chat" section (either in an existing thread or just open a new thread).

In the end, it becomes more and more obvious that the internet is just a mirror of real-life society: you cannot expect to find 'reliable' information everywhere. But that is of course off-topic. Nevertheless: the distribution channel is not the problem, in my eyes. Of course though, feel free to explain (in rational terms) why tumblr is supposed to be like a "bag with holes". Maybe I'm indeed overlooking or underestimating something.  

@kupocygirl, my guess is that EA may have changed something about the code or the in-game models/meshes, making existing CC items unusable. But we'll have to see until the update is out (for pirates like us  ).

Also, you cannot expect anybody to crack something in just a matter of days, so we all need to be patient.

Please note that in most cases we do not "crack" games and stuff ourselves, hence we usually repack stuff that other people made.
