I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.
Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.

Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.
That’s how I ended up with so many games in my backlog
Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?
It reminds me a bit of Garmin acquiring Pebble and discontinuing support. This does sound significantly worse though
Isn’t GTA IV a bit difficult to mod? I feel like I recall using OpenIV and having to track down the correct directories to install each part of a mod the right way
Even then it can be difficult. A lot of mods have other dependencies that need to be installed and those dependencies and can have dependencies.
Mod Organizer 2 is typically recommended over Vortex but it depends on the game. I think Vortex has wider support.
I’ve done zero research into the new release. Does it add much in the way of major game changing alterations? I’m thinking along the lines of how the district systems dramatically the feel of the game
I wonder if the Clean UI mod would help with your issue. Have you tried just adjusting your resolution though? I’ve heard 720p is the optimal resolution to avoid various bugs
I feel like I recall a lot of people saying it was kind of forgettable though I might be thinking about Far Cry 6.
What did you think of it?
Isn’t New Dawn a sequel to Far Cry 5?
I would be curious to see which games would have you going back the furthest to fully get the story.
Maybe something starting off on something like the MSX or Intellivision that was never remastered.
I started with number 2 and felt a bit lost. I wonder if it would have been easier to start with 3 in that case.
Then Battlespire and all the mobile exclusive games
Do none of the Final Fantasy involve each other?
With Grand Theft Auto I would say you could start anywhere. Each game features a different protagonist and they play quite different to each other.
I would say playing 4 before 5 is probably a good idea because it doesn’t feel like as much of a tremendous leap compared to going from Vice City to San Andreas. Going from 5 back to 4 would probably make things like the car physics stand out even more.
Rereleases and remasters can be a hurdle. I was thinking about playing a Final Fantasy game about a year ago but got caught up in the pros and cons of each version and what games are connected.
From my understanding most don’t continue on the story but I believe one of the games has a character return, I think it’s Cloud, and I think seven was remastered and separated into two games.
Did you mean something else though? Like I said I haven’t played them
I get you. I’ve been going through a lot of “best of” lists for various consoles and it’s tough going back and playing them because they were obviously made for a younger audience and and having never played them as a kid I don’t really feel the same pull.
The Kirby games are a big one. I’ve seen a lot of recommendations but can’t really get into them.
It feels a bit like Ali Express pricing with games being listed as $100 but being discounted year round for 50% off to give consumers the illusion of getting a deal.
It also seems like a lot of titles don’t go down in price as they age as often as they used to.
