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

Can anyone tell me if you get the simpoints for registering the game with the Humble Origin Bundle?

Oh god that new GUI.

They turned up the bloom a little, gave it a cartoony look and butchered the interface. Hm. Not sure how I feel about this.

I don't see the point of the conveyor belt, that is the sims series, anymore... As much as i like the game, i am hardly ever gonna get impressed anymore

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;41849717]Horribly stylised.[/QUOTE] At a small guess, maybe so they can make it run on tablets? Seems to me it's the kind of thing they might do.

Atleast the sims don't look like play-doh anymore.

I used to like playing as a travelling hobo when WA came out, I'd have my dude live in a tent at the community centre because there was a fridge there, and he'd travel the world and collect shit. He had a shack with no doors for me to dump his collections into until he'd made over $350K adventuring, then I had him marry a French chick, build a $100K French villa, and was working on a $250K mansion on his plot of beachside land at home when I got bored and stopped playing him because Nightlife came out.

I've been playing Sims 3 on the xbox (no expansions) What is the point in buying a car when your sim can just take a taxi, and is it worth the money?

So like The Sims 2 advanced the story of some of the sims in The Sims 1, (like the goth family) and then The Sims 3 acted like a prequel to the events of The Sims 1 showing younger versions of characters like Mortimer Goth. I wonder, will The Sims 4 advance the "story" of the families in The Sims 2, or will it disregard them and make new characters?

I hope it at least isn't another prequel. Not that it really matters, but still.

I want to play Sims 3 now... pixskull didn't have the new keys in his humblebundle page.

This happened to my Sim. [img]http://i.imgur.com/VL1no9e.jpg[/img] help I don't even have the nude mod

Okay, got the new codes and downloading right now.

I'm tempted to leave him like that so whenever he goes to work he has no pants on. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/OFwTTsb.jpg[/img_thumb]

The game freezes on Bridgeport every few seconds. Help. [editline]18th August 2013[/editline] I found a fix. Bridgeport did cause freezing for a lot of users because taxis and stuff didn't disappear correctly and caused lagging and freezing. I'm gonna download a mod that is supposed to fix that.

I remember there being a savegame bloat issue, and I should probably fix it on my girlfriend's laptop if I haven't already

But what bothers me about it is just how astoundingly easy it is to make money, kind of ruining the experience.

So my sim was jamming at a dive bar and the cops showed up..... [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/iXcpS4J.jpg[/img_thumb]

So has anyone made a world populated with Sims that are exclusively from video games? I put together something like that way back on Sims 2, and I was gonna do it again but I was wondering if someone already went through the effort and made it available?
