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

[QUOTE=tgp1994;44666525]I'm actually kind of sad that I didn't play around with that stuff more in the Sims 2 nightlife. something to put on the todo list now.[/QUOTE] I usually like the Sims 2 more than 3 stylistically but the vampires and stuff were sort of dumb, 3 is probably the best for supernatural beings

How do I create a fucked up sim in the sims 3?

[QUOTE=Timezbrick;44667123]How do I create a fucked up sim in the sims 3?[/QUOTE] You have to use mods. I know it's bullshit, I have a Sims 2 neighborhood for my vanilla made abominations.

[QUOTE=Durrsly;44673430]You have to use mods. I know it's bullshit, I have a Sims 2 neighborhood for my vanilla made abominations.[/QUOTE] Damn, I remember making freaks in the sims 2 and watch them make out, the horrific of children they had

I didn't use mods and I made this handsome fella [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/451779808914093206/F417E608A6700DF143F0B64BF7D161FB955EDD76/[/t]

[QUOTE=Twistshock;44639940]I recall having a sim who became rich by picking up stones and selling them, it started as an after-work hobby. I did make it a genie for ease of need management. It ended around here last time I played: [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/596993735577900389/5A090366EA0EFC433F5171B6B4E5AB7C7116533F/[/t][/QUOTE] Those stuffs are just begging to be stolen.

My next character is going to be Hitler. He is going to have only evil traits and his objective is to lure all non-aryan people in a room which he'll set on fire. Oh and this is going to be the only song in the music folder [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBkUcDhokg4[/media]

Everytime my male sim talks to Tina Talisman she's compliments him, is it because he works out or because he's black?

Yeah, that was in The Sims 3. Use it judiciously though, it can fuck with the pathfinding if the place is crowded

[QUOTE=SekritJay;44749275]Yeah, that was in The Sims 3. Use it judiciously though, it can fuck with the pathfinding if the place is crowded[/QUOTE] I know you can in Sims 3, but the angle in that picture looks like something you cannot do in Sims 3, maybe its the angle the actual screenshot was taken.

[QUOTE=KOManiacJim;44773206]But anyways, I would like to start a game but when I get to the Create-a-Sim mode I couldn't think up of any names that are creative. Maybe I could make a Sim version of myself with the [b]weight[/b] and absent-minded [b]personality[/b] but then again, what would I do?[/QUOTE] Perhaps I'm not reading this right, but are you looking for a weight personality? I don't think the Sims 3 has that, all though I'm pretty sure you can give sims other traits that will cause them to gorge themselves out on food and be inactive...

Tip: For those who don't know. You can raise and lower the elevation of a wall decoration by holding down and moving up. Played the Sims 3 since launch and just found that out few days ago.

[QUOTE=Redswandir;44773614]that came about when Late Night was released, so it wasn't a thing you missed out on forever (just a really long time :v:)[/QUOTE] Then I hope it is a default feature in Sims 4. I wonder if they will release a Sim creator before the game comes out.

I've been playing The Sims a lot these past few months and recently my town's been freezing [i]a lot[/i]. It's gotten so bad, I had to use Traveler to move my favorite sims to another neighborhood just to get away from the lag. Even so, I'd like to stick with my old neighborhood since I'm not yet done with it, at least not yet. Any tips on how to get rid of the freezing? I'm on a 32 bit OS so upgrading my RAM is out of the question. I also have some "cleanup" mods (Overwatch/Error Trap) already installed so that's off the table as well...

There's a nice utility on the ModTheSims that checks each and every EP you have installed (including the base game) to see if they might be out of date.

You should also try deleting the Cache files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3, namely Compositor and SimCompositor, I've deleted them a few times in the past and not once has it caused any problems, I think it's like cleaning your cache on the internet or something, I dunno.

[QUOTE=Redswandir;44785982]you disable memories? if you don't fully disable them, it'll save memories for every sim in the town to your savefile, causing horrible load and lag[/QUOTE] disabled them and wiped all the neigborhood sims' memories with Master Controller. i don't suppose having a 600+ population (this is including dead Sims though) has anything to do with this? :v:

Am i supposed to get free Simpoints for registering my game? I remember getting some with my disc copy but i don't know if i'm meant to with a digital version.

You just know they're going to do the same shit with The Sims 4 DLC as they have with The Sims 3, it's gonna be the price of a new game and there'll be like 20+ of them.

So my Sims are better at looking after themselves than I am, turns out my micromanagement was making things worse.

They will remove features that should be included in the first place (E.g. Different seasons) just to sell them in expansions.

It may not have been meant for the base game, but it should have been. I'd rather wait longer than pay extra. Just because it took 3 years to get a base feature, it doesn't mean it'll increase the development time by that much. Instead of basic weather we were getting expansions that, as far as I know, no one really wanted. Expansions like Supernatural and Showtime.

Supernatural is alright but Showtime adding Starlight Shores is where it was at for me, I always use that place now.

I rather enjoyed Open for Business, Sims 2

[QUOTE=Atlascore;44799165]You're crazy man, 90% of the stuff they add in expansions was never meant for the base game, there's no way they'd be able to add even a third of that stuff without extending the development time to ridiculous levels, I mean the Seasons expansion for Sims 3 didn't even release until over 3 years after the base game.[/QUOTE] I'm not saying they should of added everything at launch, just the general concepts that the previous games had added in expansions. Things like buisnesses, seasons, pets etc were all added to the Sims 1 & 2 in expansions but they went right back to having none of that for the Sims 3, just so they could sell it again. They should of included them as features in the base game, instead of all those features being removed.
