The Sims Megathread! - Games

[QUOTE=werewolf0020;39072749]i really feel that world adventures was the only expansion they really had to work hard...and its the only one i truly like tough i wish there were more places to go becouse as soon you get all the shit in them there is no reason to travel anymore[/QUOTE] I have it but never actually travel anywhere. Never used the stuff it gives. Dumb I know.

I don't think I've ever had my sims take a vacation.

Honesty The university expansion for the Sims 2 was probably my favorite one so I'm alright with this, I just hope it's integrated somehow into a town without loading screens. World Adventures is my least used expansion because I don't like sitting through another loading screen after the 10 minutes it takes me to get into a town.

I felt that World Adventures was the weakest one they've done. I know they tried to do something different, with the focus of traveling on vacation being shared with that of the tomb exploration. But with how simplified the tombs were, it was a bore to explore them. And like you said, once you've collected the stuff, there's no reason to travel anymore. At least with expansions like Generations, Seasons, and Late Night are a bit more open ended with more to do.

Making a lesbian Sim with the life goal of breaking hearts may not have been the best idea. Why boner, why from the Sims 3...

[QUOTE=blacksam;39067874]Its uncanny happy color pallet is what ruins it for me. They all look the same. That's my issue.[/QUOTE] What annoys me is no matter how much you modify a sim they always look like they have babyfaces in TS3. Why they've yet to add the new facial enhancements from Medieval to TS3 boggles the mind.

[QUOTE=GÃ©za!;39073130]Making a lesbian Sim with the life goal of breaking hearts may not have been the best idea. Why boner, why from the Sims 3...[/QUOTE] Why else would you make a lesbian Sim if not for this? :v:

I used to mess around in the Sims 2, got 3 and then I stopped caring after the stupid DLC store and expansion pack rehashes. Last time I played this game I had a gun mod and I went around murdering people, children got stretched out like spaghetti when their death animation played...

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;39072439]i know they just copy shit from previous games but its getting ridiculous[/QUOTE] While I agree, University is one of the expansions I most enjoyed from the Sims 2 so I'm fairly excited still.

[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;39072937]Honesty The university expansion for the Sims 2 was probably my favorite one so I'm alright with this, I just hope it's integrated somehow into a town without loading screens. [/QUOTE] I'm hoping they add some sort of application mechanic, so that way there's some correlation between your sim's performance in high school and the college they end up going to, unlike Sims 2.

[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;39073357]Why else would you make a lesbian Sim if not for this? :v:[/QUOTE] Nah, I'm sure he made a lesbian heart breaker Sim with ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION of getting boners

I always regret creating sims with the intention of making them promiscuous. Sex in the Sims, and relationships in general, and just so damned boring.

Do you guys have any suggestions regarding the optimization of my game? It's stuttering like hell, and my Sims can't take three steps without freezing in place.

[QUOTE=ewitwins;39081718]Do you guys have any suggestions regarding the optimization of my game? It's stuttering like hell, and my Sims can't take three steps without freezing in place.[/QUOTE] Besides a few "cleaner" mods, doubt it. Sims 3 suffers from bloating pretty easily.

I bought Sims 3 on sale, first time playing a Sims game since like... 2002/2003. Basically I made characters that were me, and three of my friends. I would stream everything that happened and we were all on google hangout getting smashed while Sims'ing it up. I wish I recorded some of our antics, or at least took screenshots, but alas all there is are some really shitty quality streams saved on my twitch channel that aren't even worth posting. But here's my brief story of our Sims 3 game. The characters: Cp, RawMeat3000, Fkpuz, David Trebecho (Trebecho being a fictional reoccurring character in many of our hijinks), and Figgots. - Fkpuz and RawMeat3000 are gay lovers - Cp and Trebecho are son/uncle - And Figgots is a piece of shit who wears aviators, a mullet, and has a matching purple outfit with jets on it. Also a unicorn on his face. We move into a place and immediately decide to class up the place. A couch/TV in the front of the yard. 4 beds in the backyard and one in the front. Figgots' bed was put in the upper corner of our lot, covered by mountains and trees. We brought down the property value of the entire neighbourhood by at least $20k. We also put a toilet in the family room which was great because everyone would evacuate the house whenever someone would use it. And finally, our call to fame, the indoor BBQ. Within hours the indoor BBQ became a problem, causing two fires and generally not providing us with the quality hot dogs we needed. Everyone was dropping their crap all over the place as well so we determined that we needed a maid. Figgots, at the time, was a high-school student but he needed to take a night shift at the grocery store to afford the maid. This left Figgots around 3 hours to do his homework and go to sleep before he had to go back to school every day. Next we decide to adopt a nice baby which all of us neglected, except for Figgots. One day the baby became just too much stress for us so we did what any responsible parents would do: lock the baby in a room with an indoor BBQ and Figgots manning the grill. It was our final solution. However, CPS came around before the room caught on fire and took the kid away with his magical powers. We were all relieved. David Trebecho, who was once a strapping young burglar, became a crotchety old man who kept hitting on the maid, which must have given her PTSD because she kept taking showers in our house and brushing her goddamn teeth in the kitchen sink. Trebecho died while shouting at people around city hall. Stricken with grief from his dead uncle, Cp decided to change his life goals. He was going to pump iron, and we were going to sacrifice EVERYTHING to make sure he became a famous athlete. We sold most of our shit and made one gigantic awesome gym room for Cp. Nobody else was permitted to use it. But everyone could watch from the gigantic windows facing the street. Eventually Cp achieved great success, getting a government bonus grant of $200k (we cheated, wanna fight about it?). We bought the gym and used it as our new home. We also bought a fancy car for [b]CP ONLY[/b]. Some new BBQ's from the outdoor DLC pack (which I got for a Christmas gift from RawMeat irl) were installed around the indoor pool. And we built Figgots a shitty cramped bombshelter with a shitty indoor BBQ and no lights. As we get settled in, we notice something strange. Cp's expensive car is gone. Did it get stolen? Who has it? Figgots decided to take it to work at the army base. This didn't fly with any of us, so we decided to do the only rational thing we could do: death by indoor BBQ. We coax Figgots into achieving his new lifelong dream, which is to cook hotdogs repeatedly for an infinite amount of times until his underground basement with no stairs caught on fire. The dream was achieved, and Figgots paid the ultimate, yet justifiable price of using a famous athlete's car without permission. And then there were three.

My playthroughs are so normal compared to this. Except now I'm working to achieve forming a little commune on my lot made up of the exes (and the partners of said exes) of my tomboyish lesbian painter.

I've got a few that come close. I made a psychotic, evil sim, downloaded a gun mod, and started murdering everyone in the plaza. Always ran home right before the police would catch me. I only let one person live in the entire town. We fucked day and night until we had 8 kids. Then we made the kids reproduce with eachother when they got old enough, and so on and so on. Eventually, the entire city was repopulated by my great great grandchildren. Every single pedestrian looked almost like me, and I made sure to have inbreeding make them look horribly, horribly deformed. Then I made a nerdy, fat, awkward neckbeard be roommates with an attractive socialite. I thought it would be really hilarious and interesting, but the girl died in a housefire like 2 hours into the story.

There's gun mods? The closest I've seen was the serial killer/murderer skill mod.

[QUOTE=Frisk;39084026]There's gun mods? The closest I've seen was the serial killer/murderer skill mod.[/QUOTE] You can buy a pistol, and use the cellphone camera aiming system. Whoever you targeted in the photo dies a moment later. I don't know how, but the police know you just murdered someone and come to arrest you.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;39084940]That's some Death Note shit.[/QUOTE] I'm surprised somebody hasn't made a Death Note yet. Seems like it'd be incredibly easy to put together.

Except now I'm working to achieve forming a little commune on my lot made up of the exes (and the partners of said exes) of my tomboyish lesbian painter.[/QUOTE] I always tried to play as legitimate as I could but I always got bored and would do something strange instead. Here's an example I did over a livestream during the summer: [quote]When Lucky Palms launched and I got the premium version I decided to make an evil and insane man who lived up in the hills in a fortified bunker wearing a blue and white sailor's outfit wearing yellow fireman's boots, oversized white gloves and to top it off blue facepaint and a blue beret. Nobody knew what his name was in the town and the people that did were invited over and locked in his torture chamber underground with various types of painful methods of death. I had trained him in the art of cooking and perfecting porkchops day in and day out so that no person couldn't resist it and went for it. Every time they ate one however, they got electrocuted, set on fire or gassed for hours at a time until the grim reaper came to take them to the afterlife. As the number of tombstones added up, he would use this to haunt the trapped and cause them further misery, often shocking them in their own puddle of urine. One day, the man had enough. He grabbed his sniper, his pistol and went off to town. One by one he would go to the doorsteps of houses with vulnerable members. He started off by going to an old lady's mansion and torching the old woman and the entire house on fire. He then went over to a family with children and assassinated them all one by one in their own bedrooms before setting that house on fire. Then he went throughout the entire neighborhood and killed everyone over the course of the weeks while becoming best friends with the Grim Reaper. One day, the man found that he had killed everyone in the town. He was the only one left. What did he do? The man called his best friend over, the Grim Reaper, the personification of death itself, and murdered him with a teddy bear and some matches. Now the man owns the entire city to himself and paved it over with a giant casino that would make even the awe inspiring ones in Las Vegas to be considered tiny. He named the casino "Unkel Dolan's Ded Moneies" [/quote] I also had another one where I ended up having a friend come over who we ended up making a variant of Twinbrooks where all the people and all the buildings were set in the mid 18th century and instead of industry people used slaves. That was what I would say was the most fucked up story of all I've done. [QUOTE=TurtleeyFP;39084718]You can buy a pistol, and use the cellphone camera aiming system. Whoever you targeted in the photo dies a moment later. I don't know how, but the police know you just murdered someone and come to arrest you.[/QUOTE] If there are witnesses nearby that watched you or heard you when you murdered the person, you'll see them call someone panicked and that's when the cops arrive. You'll have to run fast before they get you.

Damn all this talk has made me want a Prison expansion, where you have to live out your days in prison.

Gonna get a gun mod and have my sim become a serial killer, being that his last name is Vercetti.

Well the Sims 3 is on sale again so i decided to take a bite at it. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dqdOj.jpg[/IMG] Are there any recommended performance mods? I heard the game runs sorta funky without a few tweaks.

[QUOTE=Fkpuz Version 1;39082769]cool story[/QUOTE] Man, wish my playthroughs were as awesome.

StoryProgression + Careers just makes the game better. I also like this mod: [url]http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=493048[/url]

[QUOTE=Sommoch;39085033]Damn all this talk has made me want a Prison expansion, where you have to live out your days in prison.[/QUOTE] I wish the guy who made the prison mods for TS2 would port them over the TS3. Those were so much fun to mess with.

I got all The Sims expansions I thought were worth it. I got everything but the stuff packs and World Adventures, Showtime, Katy Perry shit. I think that's the route to go for essential Sims 3 stuff
