I’d have thought the lack of autosave was the solution for getting out of a war that you’ve blundered into – just switch the pc off and re-load.

Mentioned it to Mrs Peej last night and she said “Don’t be a twat, Sims never had it – nor did Sim City!”

I’m pretty sure the latter did…or you could at least tweak the control panel so it autosaved..

I think it might ruin it for me. I’m so used to not having to think about saving I know I’d just be shutting it down all the time and losing progress.

It’s not like autosave (or rather the lack of it) ruins the game…

Trying to remember if The Sims had an Autosave thing. I don’t think it did either. Just an option to save when you quit, or save manually during the game.

Guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks after all. DOH!

Completely insane. After *eight years* no one thought it might be a good idea?

FFS. Another high-profile and recent game with no autosave.
