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

I only just realised there's no Sims 4 on Mac announced. I know Mac's aren't gaming systems but Sims has always been fine with Macs. The Sims 3 disk works on both Mac and PC from launch. How odd.

I just realized none of the longer hairstyles have jigglebones. C'mon, even 2 had that and it made sims look more lively. Right now it just looks like everyone's been abusing hairspray.

I wish hair highlights wasn't removed. Such a good feature for detail

Other than Overwatch, does anyone have any Sims 3 optimization mods I could use? I like playing it, but I can't fucking rotate the camera without it freezing 4 times unless I use the fucking UI buttons to do it.

Limiting different supernatural races can also help. Don't play on the Isle Paradisio map.

Stuff like that sometimes happens if a sim gets stuck somewhere. Google the Reset All Sims cheat and try using it and see if it fixes your problem. I've had to do this a few times.

The Sims 3 is designed to be a laggy hunk of crap and nothing you can do can stop it, unfortunately.

[QUOTE=gk99;45630862]I uh I'm playing vanilla Sims 3 on the default map :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Turn down the gfx then or upgrade you PC. Vanilla Sims 3 should run relatively well it's when you pile on the expansions a stuff packs that it starts to fall apart.

its pretty unbelievable that no matter how good or bad your pc is, sims 3 runs like shit

Sims 3 runs fine on my computer except for the load times.

Pretty happy with how these two turned out. [thumb]http://i.minus.com/iRDhQXJHpMgQ8.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.minus.com/ixt2LGTT4ky62.jpg[/thumb]

Here's a guy kinda explaining why he thinks there isn't Create A Style [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zHUgsUksO8[/media]

Performance > Create a Style

Is it normal that The Sims 2 from Origin doesn't want to work? Normal installation, intro plays, but later it's just a blue screen with melody, no loading or anything. Left it for 20 minutes and still nothing.

[QUOTE=mr hobo;45631418]Here's a guy kinda explaining why he thinks there isn't Create A Style [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zHUgsUksO8[/media][/QUOTE] That actually makes a lot of sense.

[QUOTE=TheJoker;45631366]Sims 3 runs fine on my computer except for the load times.[/QUOTE] mine runs fine i do have a gtx 770, 4.5ghz i5 2500k, 16gb of ram and a samsung 840 evo ssd though [editline]8th August 2014[/editline] the beautiful thing about the sims is you can run it on a toaster. it'll run poorly, but it'll work.

I guess I might as well share some of mine: [t]http://i.imgur.com/PVHa6rx.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/qnRQnW5.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/uS6frgN.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/zlV04sf.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/nSdeZmL.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/174B0Ru.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/YyQNfg9.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/jYQJ67A.jpg[/t]

I really like that girl with the brown coat you got there. Man, can't wait till this is out for me to try as well

She's probably my favorite of the bunch, too. Though I wish that those clothes weren't an outfit. I like the jacket and shirt, but I want to change those weird tights.

[QUOTE=HWECQI;45632417]I really like that girl with the brown coat you got there. Man, can't wait till this is out for me to try as well[/QUOTE] Actually you can try now....

[QUOTE=alealienn;45632720]Actually you can try now....[/QUOTE] It's limited early access. Not everyone can get in right now.
