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

[QUOTE=Burnyhands;41881971]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?[/QUOTE] Not exactly a world full but I managed to put Elizabeth, Adam Jensen, The Dude, and Shaundi into a house.

Almost time for the official Sims 4 reveal. Can't say I have particularly high hopes for it.

[QUOTE=Leestons;41865823]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?[/QUOTE] Depending on the car, it's generally a shit load faster than a taxi. With the higher speeds especially, you can get to and from your house [i]much[/i] faster. I usually just buy the bikes - speed 6 - and be done with it until I'm ultra-ridiculously rich.

My eco-friendly Sim is sad.

Can't you buy it and place it in their inventory?

[QUOTE=LegndNikko;41887227]I bought an apartment, and I can't seem to use a bike. No bike rack. My eco-friendly Sim is sad.[/QUOTE] Actually I meant motorcycles, sorry. I think the actual bicycles are speed... 2? I haven't played in a while, but I think they're right around the same speed as the taxi.

(basically wwe 13 vidya game wrasslers, but in the sims 3) [B]Fake Edit:[/B] Seems like TOH (the dude who runs At Home) released the sim files for the guys he's made so far. [URL="http://forum.vgcw.net/topic/8923109/24/"]Keep in mind that he has basically every expansion and premium pack and some may not work if you are missing those.[/URL] (you will be)

[QUOTE=Frisk;41887283]Can't you buy it and place it in their inventory?[/QUOTE] I don't think so.

You can, but you have to have somewhere to place it first, and I think you need to keep the lot/rack so the vehicle is tethered somewhere.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;41888127]You can, but you have to have somewhere to place it first, and I think you need to keep the lot/rack so the vehicle is tethered somewhere.[/QUOTE] And thus I can't place a rack, I can't place it in my inventory. :v:

A paparazzi went into my apartment today and played video games while I was asleep 3 in the morning.

I just got this game, downloading now :buddy:

Any other performance improving mods than the ones already listed on this page?

[QUOTE=LegndNikko;41888270]And thus I can't place a rack, I can't place it in my inventory. :v:[/QUOTE] Good news Apparently I can place bike racks inside my apartment! In other news, I can't seem to find an empty [I]house[/I] in Bridgeport. They're either taken, or apartments. :v: Also, damn, getting fame and rising up in ranks is easy. In one day, I rose to rank 9 in the music career, and 4 star fame. Which honestly doesn't seem to do much.

I'm trying to give my Sim plastic surgery, but now she's stuck in the hospital and nothing's happening. :I [editline]afd[/editline] Before [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52116717/Screenshots%20and%20Images/jessica.jpg[/t] After [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52116717/Screenshots%20and%20Images/newjess2.jpg[/t]

I think some of you had to use origin to download this game, so Id like to ask for help. Yesterday I got a code from the humble bundle for the sims 3, I entered and started dowloading, however, dowloading sometimes randomly stops for me, and the only way itll continue downloading is deinstalling origin, and then installing it again, but doing that only allows me to download 5 - 10% before I have to deinstall again. Any had this problem and/or a solution?

[video=youtube;WjPPjU8OARg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjPPjU8OARg[/video] Ok

That you actually don't have to use those horrible sliders makes everything so fucking easy.

I just hope that they haven't dumbed the gameplay down too much. It seems to be a trend these days.

ok, trying HELS and Late Night i somehow feel sad that i couldn't collect all the EP's, because sims 4 is coming really soon

So far, Sims 4 looks like Sims 2's art style running on Sims 3's engine. That's not a bad thing at all.

I'm so glad they integrated the "blueprint" system into TS4. I stopped making my own rooms and just started making houses from blueprints because I suck at building.

[QUOTE=Rammaster;41904490]I'm so glad they integrated the "blueprint" system into TS4. I stopped making my own rooms and just started making houses from blueprints because I suck at building.[/QUOTE] What's does the blueprint system do?

That gameplay demonstration was pretty neat, but I'd like to see more. Some actual gameplay stuff, not something scripted. Hopefully, we will get so see more soon.

Wow Sims 4 trailer really knows how to hype up features you'll stop noticing after playing for about a week. I think I'll stick to Sims 3 and all the expansion packs for a while yet. It doesn't look like the same leap Sims 1 to 2 to 3 was. Plus let's see what features they leave out and introduce down the line in expansion packs.

Eh... i tough someting different when the guy said " Would you like to see my rocket!" hhuehuehue.. , Needless to say i was impressed when he DID had a rocket

[QUOTE=TheAdmiester;41904602]What's does the blueprint system do?[/QUOTE] In the Sims 3 you can choose blueprints for certain rooms and move and drop them before building it. In the Sims 4, they just fully streamlined that where you can just make your rooms and move and drop them the same. So, that was pretty awesome.
