In Game development you have Three key things that make up what is defined in our industry as "Quality"... 1) Time 2) Scope 3) Cost There is a saying in game development that your project can achieve two out of the three, but there is no way to achieve all three #gamedev

@welshsimmie Hard to point to just one thing and say "thats mine", I will say over the years I had the joy of leading engagements free update teams, stuff pack teams, and game pack teams...I fixed many bugs, collected many pack pins, and tried to always stay connected to our community.

I would like to announce that today is my last day at this great studio known as Maxis. I have met many great and talented developers during my 8 years here and have nothing but love and respect for this amazing studio and its creative community of players!

@SimRetha This is so lovely! This community will always be a part of my heart, I take you all wherever I go!

@SimGuruMrE Go well! The Sims 4 is a game so close to my heart! Grateful to all who worked and work so hard on it!

Like the rest of you I now look forward to seeing the upcoming Sims 4 releases as a player! I leave to start a new adventure, if your curious you can give me a follow at @Joel_Eckert

What the refresh?!

@Cinderellimouse Just the amount of times I have held up random useless things above my head yelling "I have the Power!".....priceless...🤣

@SimGuruMrE I watched the first two episodes already! My childhood is squealing!

Yo, that new Masters Of the Universe show on netflix, go watch it, awesome first part cant wait for the 2nd part.

@Eunagina This is hilarious makes me want to put the "Admire Masterpiece" Interaction on Toddler pottys when they are full..but only for the toddler that used it lol. 🤣

Potty training my 2nd toddler and it reminds me of working on the toddler update from when my 1st was a toddler.... Apparently we missed a social interaction though because this toddler keeps running the "wanna see my poop" social 😆

Asked my 6 year old to split and share her cookie with my 3 year old.... Updates resume: successfully managed a team of two to divide responsibilities and tackle project requirements to meet deadline...😅

@Tragiccatblep Looks cozy!

Careful not to make the horrible mistake of not watching this video to see who the true superior hoofed animal companion is...

@BenjiPlaysSims Precisely! You Sheryl Crows....Crows Sheryl?... You know your summer jams.

@SimGuruMrE You mean Summer 1995?

All I wanna do is have some fun...I got a feeling.. I'm not the only one...

@jamesbranwen this is awesome! I have to agree I have also been enjoying @JamesTurnerYT Dream Home Decorator LP

Dream Home Decorator Simmers: It is a bug to be receiving Room Addition Gigs at Apartment Residence in the city living EP.... I am investigating and think I found the problem. I would like to apologize for this bug and any pain or stress it has caused any players.

That is some pure cottage bliss right there....

@soleilsunrai Thank you for playing and sharing in creating.

@allisasims @TheSims It looks so cozy, love it

Another successful renovation! I love how the likes and dislikes make me use pieces I normally never use and also challenge me in terms of color schemes. 😁This room reno was for the Villareal family & they loved it! #TheSims4 #TheSims4DreamHomeDecorator @TheSims
