The Sims Megathread - Come on in! The house is on fire but it's ok. Have you seen my basement? - Games

And so the clone experiment begins [t]http://i.imgur.com/eSx8esd.jpg[/t] I gave them all similar personalities with slight differences and I'm going to give them complete free will and unlimited money and see what happens. I might intervene and take them to the club and other stuff but actual interactions and such are going to be free will. This should be entertaining!

[t]http://i.imgur.com/1ba3cRm.jpg[/t] Has anyone else tried finding the secret lots? They seem kinda cool I guess. The easiest is the one in the starter neighbourhood of Willow Creek.

A neat thing is that sims are less shy around their spouses now. They won't shoo them out of the bathroom.

This may sound dumb, but I've completed 2 songs and I cannot find out how to license them for the life of me. They aren't in my inventory or anything, but I can play them on the Guitar.

I'm getting sweet daily dividends on my "Fucking Shitty Bird" app and "50 Shades of Anal Fisting" book, like 500 Simoleons a day.

[QUOTE=Manneh;45895566]Mailbox should have the option. But you can only licence one per instrument.[/QUOTE] Nothing doin' there. Just has Get Mail greyed out. NEVERMIND I'M DUMB

[QUOTE=Fish_poke;45895604]Nothing doin' there. Just has Get Mail greyed out.[/QUOTE] Well shit, no idea then. I know it's not like, something you need a higher skill for, I sold one right after writing it at level 8.

[QUOTE=Manneh;45895615]Well shit, no idea then. I know it's not like, something you need a higher skill for, I sold one right after writing it at level 8.[/QUOTE] On guitar, apparently I had to wait until I was level 9.

[QUOTE=Maladroit;45894796]yeah, so does every sims base game ever[/QUOTE] maybe it's because I only had a few expansions for the sims 2, but 3's basegame was a massive improvement for me.

OMG I spent like the whole day making my Sim level up his abilities, get promoted, make friends and shit then suddenly he died of SHAME wtf I FUCKING ACCIDENTALLY SAVED NO JHGSDUIAYTW423YIRWEFK Please help

[QUOTE=ss013r;45894476]So I picked up this game recently. On the first day, I decide to go to my neighbor's house to introduce myself. Not too much later, her idiot roommate starts a fire on the grill. [t]http://a.pomf.se/brazty.png[/t] Even though the fire alarm was going off, no help came. The guy died, and Death payed a visit. However, we were all stuck on the lot because we couldn't leave until the fire was taken care of. I was hoping it'd go out on it's own, but it just slowly spread throughout the house. After waiting nearly an entire day, I decided to brave it and put out the fires myself. Which was really easy, and made me feel silly that my Sim passed out three times and wet his pants before I took action.[/QUOTE] Similar thing happened for me, fire alarm went off but nobody ever turned up, and I couldn't do anything because I kept getting the red "fire error" Eventually found out I was slightly off on my clicks on the fire, took a couple of minutes to find that out though, not very well constructed.

Anybody know how I can evict someone from my household? Take note, I'm trying to evict someone who was originally part of the original Household, but only as a roommate.

One of my Sims died and none of his family gave a shit. His wife flirted with Death over his dead body and his kids didn't realise anything had happened when they got home from school.

Actually ignore the upper post, just trapped her in a box and let Death sort it out.

How long will it take until Sims 4 shows up on Steam? I don't usually buy games until they're on -75% sale so I'm expecting to play Sims 4 around 2020.

[QUOTE=D3vils Buddy;45897120]It wont, its only on origin[/QUOTE] Chances are that if it's shown on Steam, you're gonna have to pass through Origin too nowadays.

Having played Sims 3+Addons yesterday and seeing all this hype about Sims 4. Is there really any reason to switch? It seems like I'd just lose 95% of the content in exchange for some emotions system and a much better editor.

[QUOTE=EddieLTU;45897706]if you don't want sliders in CAS, Pattern tool, free open world, cars, pools, toddlers, not nerfed graphics then sims 4 is for you[/QUOTE] sick review 10/10 you must have played for at least an hour

yo guys dont buy sims 4 cause your sims cant have whiny piss babies that you have to spend the entirety of their life stage teaching to walk and talk [editline]5th September 2014[/editline] if you seriously think sims 4 is a step down in graphics then I don't know what to say

the art style for the sims 4 is actually fucking beautiful i prefer it a million times more than the other games

[QUOTE=JtRtheRiPPeR;45897133]Chances are that if it's shown on Steam, you're gonna have to pass through Origin too nowadays.[/QUOTE] All right thanks. I'm kind of bummed because I was getting minor traces of hype about Sims 4 but hey, guess I can live without a single game.

So, anyone figured out how to get the Steam overlay working? Also, is there a way to kill the tutorials without using the Origin shortcut?

Should I feel guilty for kinda wanting this game? Loved The Sims when I was young but was never really old enough to play it 'properly'. Got the Sims 2 through origin for free and it was fun. Sims 4 looks good...
