What features in TS3 have you not tried?
So, I've owned this amazing game for something like 8 years now :) Even though I don't have all the packs and I only own a fraction of the store content, there's still so much in this game that I've yet to do. Here's a short list of features that I haven't fully tried, or haven't touched at all, that I would like to try someday:
• All the active careers in Ambitions. I'm currently working my way up the firefighter and medical tracks, but would love to have a crack at the others, especially the ghost hunter one!
• The performer careers in Showtime. I've only tried out the singer career, and didn't manage to get to the top.
• The acting career in Late Night. Also the celebrity system in general, and clubs and that sort of stuff.
• Tomb-raiding in World Adventures. As fun as they seem, I haven't tried many of these at all. Same thing goes with the traveller reward system (I forget what it's called exactly).
• There are a number of skills that I've played with over the years but never managed to max out - logic, martial arts, charisma, and all the instrument skills besides guitar come to mind. Others I've never touched at all - like sculpting and mixology.
Of course, that list is not exhaustive, but we'd be stuck here forever if I was to try and type out a full one. Moving on, we have the flip side. Here are some things that I'm personally not interested in trying, or have tried but wouldn't really want to try again:
• Pretty much... the whole of Into the Future. Back when it first released, I feel like the main reason I got the pack was because "ooh look, shiny and modern and cool". But these days, I don't bother enabling it when I start up my game, because the gameplay honestly doesn't appeal to me all that much. Except dip kisses. Dip kisses rule. :tongue:
• The horseman career from Pets. I've only played it once before, and personally felt it was quite a lot of grinding. Not too different from other self-employed careers in that sense, but this one had rabbit-holes involved on top of all that grinding (taking part in racing and showjumping at the equestrian centre), which made things that much more boring for me.
• Running a resort in Island Paradise. I've tried it before and it was fun, so it wasn't really an issue with the mechanic itself. It's just that the world these resorts came in had so many issues, and I'm not sure I'd enjoy just lifting these resorts out of Isla Paradiso and putting them straight into another world. It's not quite the same.
• The social networking skill from University Life. I've tried it before, but found it quite tedious to gain skill levels. And it would always annoy me how making a "good" post could cause loss of followers.
• Quite a number of the occult life states, including mummies (I'm only interested in taking them down!), aliens, PlantSims, and genies. They might be cool to interact with in-game, but I personally just don't see the appeal in playing them.
How about you? What are some things in TS3 you haven't tried but would (or wouldn't) like to? :)
