England/british style sims

Yeah I'd love the sims to be more like my real life, totes want to see my sim walk a mile in the pissing it down rain to work...

I'd just like to see terraced and semi detached houses... Everything else would really just be a fun gimmick. Bookies might be fun though if done right...

Being a brit i love playing the sims, its american styled (obvs it being made american and being based in america) it makes it so much fun living the american life style... Mail boxes, styles of homes, pools (soon) etc



However... How would american simmers feel if they went british style? London town, country style?

Sounds wonderful! I'd love it! :)

The Brits don't have mailboxes? :o

I wasn't sure, hence why I said "to include the whole British spectrum." XD

Myself I just watch whatever I find on Netflix when I have time. Mostly old re-runs I'm sure, and mostly comedies, or horror movies. Red Dwarf, the Catherine Tate Show, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, Doctor Who and Torchwood. I don't usually do a lot of TV watching, so my repertoire is limited.

One of my favorite horror movies of all time was, I believe, a British film called The Expelled. It took place in England at least. It was this father and daughter and a few staff trapped in a school with murderous children in hoodies. At first you thought they were just delinquents, but by the end of the movie, you couldn't tell if they were supernatural or not. They would just appear out of nowhere, often in groups, and you never saw any faces. It was great!

British TV is pretty superior to everything we have here though.

Just a heads up...best to use British if you're not sure if it's English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish...people tend to get offended being lumped into 'English' :smile:

We're a complicated little nation!

Ahh! I'm sorry, I didn't know! D: I'll fix that right away.

No problem, it's easy to get confused by it! :smile:

I would enjoy it. I loved WA just for the chance to see other countries. I have no idea how accurate they were, but I really liked them. Being a rather poor American, it is very unlikely I will ever get the chance to ever see another country, excepting the time I went into Canada for the day, and that looked just the same as home.

Do you not have mail boxes in Britain? Do you just have the smaller boxes on the front of the house by the door instead?

Letter box through door. ;_; I WANT A MAIL BOX.

Really?! Do things get in? Like bugs and little lizards and things? And isn't that cold? I have cousins who live out west, and even with a closed house things like scorpions get in. They taught me to always check shoes before you put them on!

But I would love an EP with other countries, as long as they are accurate and I can learn things about the country, and not just stereotypes.

sorry this made me laugh. we don't get lizards and our bugs are no threat, Some of our letter box's have a brush on the inside to stop unwanted stuff, like bugs but mainly to stop people breaking into the house. as the box is actually a hole in the front door, big enough for a letter, not much else. But people have managed to break in. go look on ytube there is bound to be something there to show and explain our letter boxes holes.

Well to be honest the way the sims have always been isn't accurate for every American either. Some of us have mail slots in the door, I have a box on the wall of my porch and some people have to cross the street or walk down the road to their mailbox. Being from The Great State of Texas when they have weather there is way to much rain for me and it doesn't get nearly hot enough.

I think it would be interesting to have other nations represented but I wouldn't expect them to be able to achieve an exact representation. After all what they have in the game now just represents a small section of California.

yee, it'd be fun to do it in the 'world adventures' kind of way where they had a France inspired world etc
but instead of flying to that world, you could just choose it as a neighborhood and live there :)
to be honest, I didn't find world adventures that great since there were only 3 worlds to choose from,
so it'd be nice to have more variety

vacations in the sims 1 and 2 were so good though, hope they come back B'((


I'd like a-lot of different culture inspired neighborhoods or worlds tbh.
there are so many interesting ways to live and things to do in different countries, it'd be pretty nooice
