The future of the Sims
Reading the blog post is says they were making new games or basically no more one linear game.Meaning I think we're going to have bunch of different sims games for all sorts of players. They might reboot mysims or make better A more complex basegame they might make something like the sims 3 in the future.
Never Have I Ever... [GAME]
Hi hi everyone! So this discussion is a game called "Never Have I Ever" and I'm sure most of you know how to play it but if not, here's an example: Person 1: Never have I ever ridden a horse. Person 2: I have. Never have I ever... And so on. Basically, I'll start, and the person below me would say if they have or haven't done what I said. They would then continue saying "Never have I ever..." the only thing is, if you are saying the nhie statement, it has to be something you've NEVER done. Okay, I'll start. :) Never have I ever skipped school.

The Sims 5 Ideas (2024)
Trait System Make it two types of traits: Zodiac Traits and Acquired Traits. The Zodiac Traits can be further divided into three parts, please refer to here. Aging System Make it eight life stages: baby stage lasts 7 days (newborn stage lasts 1 day, infant stage lasts 2 days, toddler stage lasts 4 days), child stage lasts 7 days, teen stage lasts 14 days, young adult stage lasts 28 days, adult stage lasts 28 days, elder stage lasts 28 days. It is a total of 112 days. Each stage has three Zodiac Traits. The baby stage has only one Acquired Trait, the child stage has two Acquired Traits, the other stages have three Acquired Traits. Society System Make it three stages of societies: Present Society, Future Society, Ancient Society. Each stage of society matches and restricts its own society functions, clothing styles, goods, house styles and occupations, etc. After every 112 days, the game changes the stage of current society automatically and cycles infinitely. Building System Add half-tile walls and platforms, walls and platforms with a height of 0.125 times, walls and platforms hanging down from the ceiling, buildable prominent window sills, vertical sloping walls and platforms (22.5 degrees per rotation), rain gutters, cabinets for ancestral tablets, more single-tile sliding doors and functions of rotating objects horizontally and vertically in a discontinuous manner (22.5 degrees per rotation). CAS System Make it intelligently create Sims through facial and voiceprint recognition. Make it a discontinuous voice slider (mid-value can be taken). Except premade households, make it not automatically generate citizens or NPCs, even if NPC may be not enough. Add more interpersonal titles in family tree, such as uncle, aunt, cousin, father-in-law, brother-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, etc. Memory System Make it a series of The Sims 2-style systems such as primary and secondary aspirations, wants and fears and memories, etc. Make each memory have a detailed date. First Person Perspective System In life mode, expand the first person perspective based on the room size as soon as you enter a room and cancel the wall cutting. Building mode is not affected by this. Action System Sims can have more actions, such as dressing and undressing; opening doors and windows and closing them; taking out dishes, mugs, pans and condiment bottles from cupboards, toothbrushes from cups, umbrellas from umbrella racks, clothes and socks from wardrobes, shoes from shoe cabinet, and putting back them, etc. Sims can take pillows and sheets out of the closet and put them on the ground to sleep and bring them back to the closet, and they can wash and dry them. Cats and birds can walk and sleep on walls. 0 Rabbitholes Make it not any rabbit holes, such as tree houses, public toilets, tramcars, primary schools and all jobs. Make the interiors of subways, ships, planes, subway stations, seaports and airports visible. Make it at least three classes in kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools and universities; the school area can be built as freely as other areas. Add careers as manga artists, voice actors and publishing houses. Make weekly magazines and manga tankobons published; TV dramas, movies, cartoons, MTVs and commercials can be filmed and shown; games can be developed and sold; related consoles and arcades can be played. Others Cancel Simlish and make it a variety of real languages, such as Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, etc. Make bookshelves and refrigerators empty to place books and foods one by one. Cancel the function of cheating and cancel the function of easily transferring funds and family members between families. Make players cannot switch Sims easily after entering a household. Cancel asking players, make us must go to work and school personally with the currently controlled Sim. Cancel the outline around the Sim when the mouse pointer points to a Sim. Make it no longer cause mutual penetration and superposition between Sims. Make more types of wind: Level 0 is for no wind, Level 1 for gentle wind, Level 2 for strong wind, Level 3 for typhoon. For the ideas of The Sims 4, please refer to here.What Music Are You Listening To Right Now?
This was a long running thread in the Off Topic section of the old Vanilla forums. Many of us were introduced to so many new artists we might never have found otherwise. We were reminded of old favorites we had forgotten too. Music moves the world, this thread is a place to celebrate the most universal art form. EDM, Blues, Punk, Metal, Hip Hop, Soul, if it moves you share it here. Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House MafiaThe Sims 5 Zodiac Traits
Make it three groups of traits: Sun Traits, Moon Traits, Rising Traits. There are the same 48 traits in all of the groups. Make the season be 7 days and the moon phase cycle be 8 days, just like in The Sims 4. Make each Sun Trait advance once every 14 hours, each Moon Trait advance once every 4 hours, each Rising Trait advance once every 30 minutes in the time system. When a Sim is born, he or she could have three different, or two same and one different, or three same traits. If a Sim has three same traits, then this type of trait of him or her is strong, and so on. Astrologers can give Sims good blind dates or bad ones. If the Sun Trait of a Sim is the same as the Moon Trait of another Sim, then they will love each other easily. There are three sets of 48 types of actions for Sims. The first set is for Sims who have three different traits, and they have three types of actions from this set according to what traits they have. The actions in the first set are weak. The second set is for Sims who have two same and one different traits, and they have two types of actions from this and the first set according to what traits they have. The actions in the second set are average. The third set is for Sims who have three same traits, and they have one type of action from this set according to what traits they have. The actions in the third set are strong. 01. Pisces - Aries: Renewal 02. Aries I: Child 03. Aries II: Star 04. Aries III: Pioneer 05. Aries - Taurus: Power 06. Taurus I: Manifestation 07. Taurus II: Teacher 08. Taurus III: Natural 09. Taurus - Gemini: Energy 10. Gemini I: Freedom 11. Gemini II: New Language 12. Gemini III: Seeker 13. Gemini - Cancer: Magic 14. Cancer I: Empath 15.

Libra - Scorpio: Drama 30. Scorpio I: Intensity 31. Scorpio II: Depth 32. Scorpio III: Charm 33. Scorpio - Sagittarius: Revolution 34. Sagittarius I: Independence 35. Sagittarius II: Originator 36. Sagittarius III: Titan 37. Sagittarius - Capricorn: Prophecy 38. Capricorn I: Ruler 39. Capricorn II: Determination 40. Capricorn III: Dominance 41. Capricorn - Aquarius: Imagination 42. Aquarius I: Genius 43. Aquarius II: Youth & Ease 44. Aquarius III: Acceptance 45. Aquarius - Pisces: Sensitivity 46. Pisces I: Spirit 47. Pisces II: Loner 48. Pisces III: Dreamers Alchemists can change objects into coins or into trash. A small-sized bronze coin is for 1 simoleon, silver coin for 5 simoleons, gold coin for 10 simoleons; a medium-sized bronze coin is for 50 simoleons, silver coin for 100 simoleons, gold coin for 500 simoleons; a large-sized bronze coin is for 1,000 simoleons, silver coin for 5,000 simoleons, gold coin for 10,000 simoleons. Sims can pick up coins from the ground or deposit them in a bank or a strong box. When Sims are going to use simoleons in African, European, Asian cities, they must change them into African, European, Asian dollars. The exchange rate fluctuates every day. The other ideas of The Sims 5, please refer to here.
MySims PC: I have a few questions
Its been a really long time since last time I've played MySims on the pc. I just have a few questions if anyone still plays it too. (Note: I'm talking for the PC not the switch) I have tried looking up these answers on my own, but I either gets answers to do with sims 4 or I get answers for other systems. Neither of which are helpful. x.x First question. I need to do a task for candy and I need clown fish essence. My dumb fingers pressed the button the mouse too early, so I didn't get a chance to read on how to fish. I tried winging it, but keep failing, so then I tried looking it up online. Luckily, I didn't find the answer, but it game me the answer for how to do it on the wii and I'm on the pc. Can only please explain to me how to fish? Second question. I noticed that some of the other sims will juggle, jump on the couch or even sit outside and read or as they call it, have a book party. I was wondering if there was a way my sim could also do those things without having to wait for other sims? Like, is there a way I can spread out a blanket and start a book party instead of waiting for another sim to start it?? Third question. I want to take some screenshots of some cute of silly moments my sim has, but whenever I press the prtsc button, it minimizes the game and tries taking a screenshot of my pc's background. As pretty as my background is, I don't think I'm obsessed with it enough to have multiple pictures of the same image. XD I tried looking this answer up online, but all it gives me are ways on how to take screenshots on the sims 4. So is there anyway to take screenshots on mysims for the pc or am I just going to have to just snap pictures of my screen with my phone like the good ol days? XD I understand that this game probably doesn't have a lot of players as far as pc goes to this day, so the answers to my questions may go left unanswered or that some people may not remember for they probably haven't played in such a long long time. But I would still be thankful people read my post and even if you only had the answer to just one of my questions. 😄
KRAFTON's inZOI Life Simulation Game vs. Sims 5 (Rene)
Yet another life simulation game in the works. Take a look. Krafton is a South Korean video game publisher behind popular games such as PUBG and Subnautica. They engaged with several Sims content creators to get exclusive access to their new game, inZOI, which has only been in development for 1 year (!!). What do you think? I was immediately struck by the realism of the graphics. Very different from the stylized Sims art. The world is gorgeous. FAQs When will the game come out? The development team is working towards a release date of 'late 2024' What engine was used to build the game? Unreal Engine 5 What platforms will the game be on? It will initially be released on PC and is later expected to be on consoles like the PS5 and Xbox How much will the game cost? Will there be expansion packs? The monetization model is currently undecided, including the plan for expansion packs and DLCs Will the game be multiplayer?* They are currently working on various multiplayer features, such as the ability to meet up with other online players or invite them over to your home *the game is still in development so all answers are subject to change! IGN Gameplay VideoMy perfect Sims 5

More small details like this would be great The memory system The Attraction System - Turn Ons, Turn Offs They can do basically the same ones http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/8/8e/TurnOnsOffs.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100223013105 The Western Zodiac https://sumukhastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/blogs-Banner-v214-Western-Astrology.jpg The cut scenes for huge life events The traits seemed to have more impact like messy Sims didn't make their beds Setting climates for each neighborhood so they made sense The had the best functioning hotels - TBH Island Living had a nice resort system too but it was so late in the game and would have been better than the hostels in WA. Hotel Desk, Locking Doors, Maid Service, Concierge activities, Room service, shuttle service Stable restaurants - Family could have job positions, plus the table interactions, the roving musician The Hair Salon Pet Jobs The Upright Piano for smaller homes. Love, Love, Love the grand pianos but some house builds require something smaller https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d5/fc/ca/d5fcca6a5b8a732ce1fdc975e2fdc673.jpg The Newspaper The Paperboy/Girl Births & Obits The Crossword Puzzle Engagement & Wedding Announcements The Horoscope The Chasing of paperboy/girl by dog Interests - Sims Child through Adult and dogs and Cats all had interests appropriate to them Bon Voyage - Camping area activities http://www.kritikanstvo.ru/games/s/sims2bonvoyage/images/sims2bonvoyage_pc_507503.jpg https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/3/3e/Log_Rolling.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20100314110351 Bon Voyage - The Zen Garden Purchasing jewelry The Hobbies and their enthusiasm - can work with clubs but the enthusiasm was a nice touch Pet Store - Grooming Tub, Trainer, the actual store assets Parrots, Cockatoos - Training them and getting them to speak and giving them treats The cage for the smaller birds was the best the Sims has ever done The 3 universities instead of two Juicing The Carpool, the Bus for kids - you could even see the driver honking The garden judging for the garden club The Private schools - (different uniforms, types of schools and their bonuses) and the Headmaster scenario because a level of difficulty in order to get into private schools should be there. The witch alignments (neutral, good, bad, very good, Very evil) Retail experience was better, you could even see simoleans changing hands, the changing rooms, the generic radio stations, Car Lots - where you can purchase automobiles Sims 2 had the best weddings (only because Sims 4 messed up their wedding pack) and you could plan for a honeymoon that a Limousine took you to. http://davidchess.com/pictures/sims2_a/JaneS_Martin_limo.jpg Chess Tournaments those need a comeback The Jump Rope, Exercise Bike and Chin up Bar http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131211021513/sims/es/images/thumb/2/27/LS2_Hobbies_32.jpg/500px-LS2_Hobbies_32.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W-6AsJind0Y/hqdefault.jpg The functional garage doors for gasp! garages and driveways The fabulous awning tool and the Wrought Iron and Glass Awning from Apartment Life Playing Marco Polo in the pool Tai-Chi and Mahjong http://www.gameguru.in/images/sims-2-bon-voyage-ss4.jpg Tea ceremony Sewing and Pottery Making https://static.miraheze.org/simswiki/thumb/7/7a/Hobby_Arts_and_Crafts.jpg/670px-Hobby_Arts_and_Crafts.jpg http://www.4gamer.net/games/046/G004615/SS/004.jpg Trimming bushes, pulling weeds - The Gardener had more to do Writing Books - The process was far more clever where you could pick amongst thought bubbles and sort of figure out what the book was about Bird watching from Free Time https://s.getwinpcsoft.com/screenshots/10/10006_1.png The Yo-Yo & Juggling https://static.taigame.org/image/screenshot/201304/the-sims-2-freetime-15.jpg The Lemonade stand https://static.miraheze.org/simswiki/a/aa/TS2OFB_Gallery_29.jpg The Skunk, The Raccoon and most importantly the Alpha Wolf The different greetings for the different social groups Tuning Instruments Winding the grandfather clock and it chimes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRCpMGiWzVY&t=13s The food contests http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/21400000/TS2-FreeTime-the-sims-2-freetime-21459082-500-383.jpg The Putting green http://www.igropoisk.com/files/screen/6106/1.jpg The Elevator Build pieces http://thumbs.modthesims2.com/img/3/0/2/5/7/2/MTS_Yogi-Tea-1263144-3-playtest.jpg Being able to see and change the style of ceilings Sims 3 Open World Color Wheel - and more channels to choose for color and patterns https://graf1x.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/color-wheel-poster.jpg CAS Hair color being divided by root, shaft and ends Create a Pattern The Gorgeous neighborhoods - the detail work and variety of the neighborhoods was the best its been in Sims 3 Cemeteries Weather, Temperature and Seasons - Only better than Sims 4 because it has Fog, Hail and Deep Snow The Moon cycle The Town Center where the Seasonal festivals were held. They were better than all the fairs Sims 4 had Generations & Supernatural almost everything was perfect. The Vampires were better in Sims 4 though The Fairies & Werewolves https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp2234654.jpg https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mP1V4D49XnI/WBD_nr6xB2I/AAAAAAAABtM/i6McnDqvtog0aPvwSTBP6KRcYSCA1w7HwCLcB/s1600/Sims-3-Supernatural-Download-For-Free.jpg World Adventures - (minus the hostels, See Sims 2 Hotels), the adventure aspect was great fun, the countries were gorgeous, camels in Egypt was a missed opportunity, the mummy, Archeologist as a career was also a missed opportunity Nectar Making was excellent in World Adventure.

The Office Building, The Hospital, The interior of the Equestrian center but not the obstacle course, The Fortune Teller's Caravan ((I loved the music), The Science Lab and Observatory, the police station, The movie theatre but not the lobby The Mermaids were better in terms of playability based on all the cool dive spots and the hidden island Firefighters and the firehouse Police, Burglars, Burglar alarms Being able to swim in almost all bodies of water Skating on frozen lake Scuba Diving including deep diving. Sims 4 cheaped out on this to their shame. https://www.simsnieuws.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/SNReviewEEduiken15.jpg The Deer - Would be a great come back for forested area along with the wolves.

Not that I want this item back per se (Although I wouldn't complain about it) more that I liked the detail. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0c/1d/82/0c1d82a6463007cf4f5656e55ff74ae5.png Sims 4 The Vampire Pack - The vampire were superior to past vampires from everything to their powers and weaknesses, the detail stuff like making garlic wreaths and chains and bringing back the coffins and other tropes from folklore and the movies. I even love the Bleh! Seriously if they had the cape thing Bela Lugosi did I'd love it all the more. I would have loved it if they had brought back the Vampire specific Eclipsing Fog from Sims 3 but I would have had that fog protect the vampires in daylight. https://images.sftcdn.net/images/t_app-cover-l,f_auto/p/b17aa0d4-99eb-11e6-8ee3-00163ed833e7/47541037/the-sims-3-seasons-screenshot.png The Veterinary Clinic - Illnesses and injuries Holidays, Event Planning, Holiday Traditions all were fabulous - Do that again Loved the clubs those were great The variety of fairs and cultural festivals - Sims 3 did the seasonal festivals better by far but variety is the spice of life and exploring other cultures is quite fun. The food selections were good and adding them to the potential restaurant menus was a good idea Separating Cooking from Baking - Baking should have been a base game skill. The Restaurant Menu - this was a nice touch. It just needed to be tweaked so courses came out properly. Being able to add to the menu and setting it to create restaurants with different cuisine is always the right thing. Lot Traits - I hope in future they have strong impacts for lots this can help make visiting different lots more unique. Hats separate from hair The Voice Modulation Spa Day was great - Everything about it was fabulous ESPECIALLY after you added Manicures and Pedicures. https://simsvip.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/18706277654_7ab4a4fdcc_o.png Setting the holiday decorations for the outside with the little decoration box Setting the phones ring tone Trimming the Tree The multiple outfits one can plan in the different types of clothing The Pipe Organ.

And to play http://sims-online.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/pipe-organ.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erXG9vnN-GI The walk styles The Familiars Fabulous Idea I just wish they could do more https://www.gamersdecide.com/sites/default/files/authors/u154843/0001.jpg Hiking The Water effects - ducks, reeds, bugs etc. The Skating Rink - I love setting up the lights, effects and music. Cooking the grand meal for holidays. I'd definitely keep that but maybe add to it with international dishes over time Rock Climbing Scouting & Scouting Badges https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/gamepictures/expansionpacks/seasons/scouting-career/scout-uniforms.jpg Snowy Escape - The Winter Sports - would have been better in a European Ski Town. So that the Japanese aspects could have been better Snowy Escape - The Bath House, Kotatsu, the hot pot The mermaids were better in the Sims 4 because of their new powers. They were also somewhat prettier https://simscommunity.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/TS4_x64-2019-06-20-18-36-19-1320x742.png Snorkeling - I think it had its place WITH Scuba not in place of it. The sub sections of career paths Setting the table The holiday themed door mats. I love doormats and change mine often for the time of year or for holidays https://sims4downloads.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/1733.jpg The Holiday Garland and the mistletoe Patchy the Straw-man - I love that the Sims 3 version had him doing silly dances and scared Sims https://simsvip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/07-02-18_7-42-50-AM.png Pet clothing https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7b/ed/f2/7bedf2e75412de88aa7c9277a0645efb.png Knitting, and the needle point https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-98k4S1URlQE/XxDC_ToVHvI/AAAAAAAAAn8/9pIPj3ar6C8hSyBV_B0AhO1_WCA8UO_1ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1422/niftyknittingsims4.JPG The bird feeder I would have given the clean interaction because birds love to poop on their feeders. Also they are making feeders now that have little string lights on the inside of it ran by solar power. Glows at night. I liked the vacuums and dust as a concept. The execution just needed work.

The Art of Sims Storytelling
Hi guys! @CathyTea and I were talking, and we thought we'd try making a thread that would be focused solely on writing, especially Sims story writing. The writers' lounge thread is great for being a lounge, but a separate space for more in-depth discussions with a slower pace and less immediate burying of posts could be good too. :) I'm not good at making lists and rules, but here are some suggestions for things to talk about here: the process of writing Sims stories the Sims story community how Sims literature fits into the greater literature community how we use the game as a medium for storytelling the imagery and themes in our work, and also possibly how they are influenced by the game what it means to be a reader of Sims literature the expectations or lack thereof that we have of Sims stories the history of Sims storytelling and all the genres and their relationships to each other and really just anything else you can think of that has to do with writing and reading and community and art and literature I want to emphasize that this thread is open to everyone, no matter what and how you write. I've learned in the last few years that sometimes stuff like this can intimidate people, but we are definitely not trying to be elitist or pretentious or intimidating or anything here. Everyone is welcome, and everyone, from people who just read Sims stories to people who write commentary legacies to people who write hardcore Simlit, has something to contribute. I hope we have fun here! :)
