Returning to The Sims 3! Super Excited!
Sul sul, Simmers! I'm Luna, I used to use these forums a lot in high school waaay back in the day as candyheartsny. I've been playing TS4 since its debut, but I've honestly just gotten tired of it ...
Forum Discussion
@bekkasan Thanks! :D Storytelling is always the best! I'm always impressed by people who are able to craft such elaborate narratives for their Sims!
@texxx78 That sounds fun! I think most players unintentionally do a legacy style game play anyway, though I usually never make it past gen 2 haha. I'm super excited to explore EPs in depth that I haven't really dug into before. Showtime looks like a lot of fun!
@ciane Thanks so much! :) I made a Sim last night but had some technical difficulties that will hopefully be resolved today lol I think TS4 has some cute features, but they're largely superficial. I can't think of more than two or three moments in six years that I actually felt intrigued by what was going on in the game. it was always a huge chore to try and make anything worthwhile happen. All my Sims just did the same default actions, and the interactions we can choose use most of the same animations and have no real impact on the story. I didn't mind living without the color wheel but now that it's back, I never want to live without it again lol
@StephSteb Thank you! :) <3 I agree, it is the superior Sims title. Roofs are always such a challenge, it's a good thing we don't usually have to look at them in gameplay lol. If it's not a square or L-shaped house, my talents quickly dwindle. That does sound like a lot of fun! making worlds in TS3 always seemed difficult to me though because of having to place the rabbit holes?
@igazor hahah thanks! I've been playing for 18 years, so I think I've earned an exception from the hazing ritual? :p
@bookwormbeauty Thank you! And 9 kids, holy cow! I usually start to feel the strain at 3 lol. That's so cute though, congrats to your teen prom queen. Having to carry a plumbob around for a while would feel a bit sanctimonious, sort of like I'm carrying a torch to the Olympics hahah
@puzzlezaddict Thanks so much, I will! I have played TS3 a few times over the last few years, so I'm definitely no stranger to its imperfections. I have the nrass mods I need to conquer the biggest issues and gameplay has been pretty smooth for the most part. Rotational gameplay sounds cool, I've always intended to do it but usually just wind up sticking with one or two households per save. 60 weeks is a huge accomplishment though! Ah building, I think I'm okay at it, but I realized the best way to enjoy it is to just have fun and let it be weird lol
@IreneSwift Thanks! That sounds lovely, I love how diverse his background is. And a clumsy acrobat sounds like a fantastic Sim to play haha.
@D3xt3r249 Thanks! I love that - if I ever take on challenges, I also tend to just use them as a loose concept and make up my own rules along the way.
