Yeah, I downloaded the demo too, not the 'Create a Sim' demo but the other free 48 hour play demo. Cannot get to build mode so if you want to just create sims for 2 days and not be able to save, this demo was a waste of time as it took my slow ISP over 24 hours to download. I'm so disappointed that I can pay with building which is the reason I have played Sims and Sims 2 for years.
I don't work or have any association with EA. I give advice to the best of my knowledge and cannot be held responsible for any damage done to your computer/game.
Please only contact me via PM when asked to do so.
No, it said there was no save option. It's so annoying, it took over 24 hours to download the demo because my connection is so slow and to not be able to experience the build function, which is what I wanted to see is a bummer.
If you choose the check mark it advises you there is NO save option. The game opens to a plain CAS screen, you can create sims but you cannot save and you cannot get out of the CAS screen to go to neighborhoods.
Product: the sims 4
Platformc
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Do not know but I do have the dvd
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? The sims 4 regular game.
Steps: how can we find the bug ourselves? Go into the sims 4 create a sim demo and create a sim. Then save the newly created sim. Then go to your regular sims 4 game and look for the newly created sim. There is not one! You can wait 24 hours or longer. The newly created sims 4 sim never appears. If the app no longer works, just say so and stop futzing around!
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing occurs! The app is supposed and did at one time transfer the newly created sim to the regular sims 4 game. Now -- nothing happens!
What do you expect to see? I used to see a newly created sim appear in the sims 4 game from the sims4 create a sim demo. Now? Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! If the app is kaput -- just say so! Don't close my request without saying a damn thing!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.G. Custom content or mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
The Demo can be found in The Sims 4 CAS Demo while the regular game is The Sims 4 (found in your documents\Electronic Art folder)
You need to copy over the files from the demo folder to the regular sims folder (Tray Folder). As far as I know, the gallery no longer works with the CAS Demo as the CAS Demo has never been updated.
I would not use the CAS Demo anymore as you don't get any of the new options.
Thank you, crinrct, for some kinda reply. Apparently because the Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo was never updated or anything, there is no folder anywhere on either of my machines with a folder referencing the Create a Sim Demo as a saved game. What you are basically telling me is that the Sims 4 demo app is kaput and I can remove it from my line-up. That was all I wanted! Some clue as to what happened. Peace out!
No, Crin's response did not help at all! And the CAS Demo had more going for it than using the CAS in the Sims4 Game. But then, unless you have tried it -- you would know how it differed from just using the CAS in the Sims4 Game. Whole new & different experience.
As a perfectly bite-sized treat for spooky season, the farm sim where you're a vampire has kicked off a quick demo to give us a taste of its pumpkin decor and midnight spellcasting. The first demo for Moonlight Peaks lets you play seven in-game days of foraging, farming, and decorating, with the option to take a snapshot of your creation once you're finished.
For this demo I'm confined to my property, so there will be no checking out the town or meeting the local supernatural crew, but there's plenty to do on my farm. The first order of business, as ever, is planting a couple crops. Moonlight Peaks get points in my book for making it pumpkins instead of parsnips, which I've now planted in far too many far sims.
I'm also set up with an upgraded set of tools in the demo so I can easily chip away at all the large trees, rocks, and iron veins on my property that I'd presumably have to wait a while to tackle in the full release.
I've got a lot of freedom to pick up and move all the pieces of my property as I see fit, from pathways to decor to the pre-built cursed chicken coop I was equipped with in the demo. The real star of Moonlight Peaks so far though is the spellcasting and potion brewing.
With my wand I can cast spells for automatically watering my crops, moving trees without cutting them down, and making my crops mature faster. The spellcasting minigame, which has me follow the movements of a cursor around a circle, is just a smidge tricky on a gamepad, but it's quick and catchy as minigames go. I imagine the full release will have some kind of magic meter to prevent infinite spellcasting but I didn't seem to have any restrictions in the demo. To create potions, I have to grow magical herbs like Googly Garlic and Glow Ginger to combine into brews that give me infinite stamina for one night or increase crops gathered for a time.
Because I'm a vampire, my farm day begins at 4 pm and ends at 6 am and the cute and spooky nighttime aesthetic of Moonlight Peaks makes a great first impression. Aside from my nocturnal schedule, I don't get to anything particularly vampire-y in this demo aside from transforming into a bat form whose secret-area-unlocking purposes aren't showcased while stuck on my farm. Later on in Moonlight Peaks, the developers say I'll "unlock powerful vampire abilities" like enhanced senses of some kind and additional shapeshifting. For now, I'll just be growing cursed crops from home to prove to my dad Dracula that vampires can survive without sucking blood.
Moonlight Peaks is expected to launch sometime in 2024, so if farm and town simming is your thing, make sure to give this one a try while you can. The demo began today, October 26, and will be available for "a limited time," developer Little Chicken says. You can download the demo for yourself over on Steam.

If you've ever played any Sims game, you'd know that - honestly - creating your little computer person is just about as much fun as controlling their little lives. Fortunately, EA know that too, which is why, in the lead-up to the new expansion pack, the company has released a demo for The Sims 3: Pets - and it's all about Create-A-Pet.
The Sims 3: Pets is a new expansion pack for EA's best-selling game about little people who live inside your computer. To put it simply - you'll soon be able to put dogs, cats and horses in there too. And, of course, you can customise those dogs, cats and horses to your heart's content, playing with just about every possible variable. There are more than 100 breeds of cats and dogs, a whole bunch of pre-designed horses, and a super-awesome editor to adjust things with.
In a statement, EA spells it out: "Players can change the length and width of the snout and ears, texture of the fur or even the color of the eyes. Using the new layer system, players can recreate their childhood pet by adding different layers of markings along the body or create a hybrid of their dreams."
That is, if you want to create your childhood pet. If you'd prefer to create something that looks like it belongs in a horror movie, by all means - go ahead. There's even skeleton markings included in the game to make it easy for you.
The demo shows off Create a Sim, as you may have guessed. The demo only allows you to make young adult Sims, but all the base game aspirations and traits are present in the demo version. The demo also shows off TS4's new gallery feature. You can pull down Sims created by other players (as well as Maxis-created Sims) and add your own Sims to the gallery. All Sims made in the CAS Demo will be fully playable in-game when The Sims 4 releases next month.
