narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted May 6, 2013 Just as Sims 3 starts to look attractive and though I might buy it (Was waiitng for the Uni expansion pack for ages) they pull out and make a new game. Probably won't buy it, just like I didn't buy 3. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massacre 7646 Report post Posted May 7, 2013 I have entirely fallen off the wagon for this series. I still play Sims 3 from time to time, because my family knows I bought Sims 3 and they just pick up the new expansion for Christmas/birthday/whatever, so I end up with the expansions, but I wouldn't buy any of them myself. Certainly not buying Sims 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazee 204 Report post Posted May 9, 2013 I hate The Sims, I know that playing computer games can be considered by many who don't play them, a waste of time, and I generally don't agree with them, but The Sims I can say is. You can spend hours on this game, and what have you done, got a promotion and had a baby, YAY!! Play GTA for 5 minutes, killed 500 peds, Stolen I really fast car, getting chased by a tank, Now that's an achievement. Won't touch this however good it is.

JustAn808 130 Report post Posted May 9, 2013 I played Sims 3 and enjoyed it. Not really the family/character part. Just the building and design piece was really in depth. Plus, I have an interest in interior design, so to each their own I suppose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 350 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 I hate investing so much time on a character, only for them to get old and die! What's the point... oh wait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 i didn't like sims 3... the options felt limited compared to 2... i still play 2 every now and then because it is still a lot of fun... i am only missing a couple of expansion packs, i should see how cheap they are... sims 4 just sounds too soon to me... and i bet the expansion packs will be the same as 3... meh, it's never gonna be as good as the sims 2... i will continue to make that my sim of choice...

cuda 939 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 I played the first sims a million years ago, all I did was make houses and remove doors and watch them starve, remove pool ladders and shit. My parents are quite happy with how I turned out though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 i created this one creeper that invites women to move in with him, but then he keeps them locked in these basement dungeon rooms... i once created myself who was kidnapped by an alien from strangeville who kept me locked in the basement to reproduce... i eventually learned meditation and teleported out of that bitch after a few kids ... oh the things you can do with a life simulator...

Massacre 7646 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 Sims 3 has all of those now, though they're disappointing. Aliens are much harder to get, zombies are only temporary (there's supposed to be a permanent zombie option, but it's glitched and is also temporary). PlantSims (which I never liked) are in the University expansion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted May 11, 2013 I also fell off the wagon shortly after playing S3. Was no where near as good as 2, plus I had loads of epic custom content for 2 that wasn't available for 3 at that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude 10 Report post Posted May 11, 2013 I sometimes play The Sims 3, but if I were to play 2 again I would miss the moving around town freely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted May 11, 2013 i also didn't like the fact that when you returned home, you arrive as if you'd been out all day (tired/hungry) but the lot acts as if you had just left... i understand the technicality of the situation, but if i am living alone, shouldn't my lot advance time with me? it's why i learn meditation as soon as i can so i can meditate through that akward transition to get my character back on schedule... the community aspect of 3 is good though, i liked exploring town knowing everything around me went along as well...

Imagine my rage when it glitched and wore off after three days. I'm happy with how they handled vampirism, though. I made a small-time criminal who was bitten, and he now runs all of Bridgeport. He's been a very fun character to play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
