The Sims 3.

[Suitcase]

Now now, i understand that The Sims 1 and 2 probably did little more to amuse you than bouncing a ball off a wall with yourself but I am actually excited to play this game. I'm about to go pick it up and cannot wait!

Who's with me?
Alternate Reality, here i come!

Already played it. Tons of fun, but there is some stuff missing that the sims 1 & 2 had that I suspect will be added in expansion packs.

That's my only problems with the sims series.
Bring on 200 Expansion packs for $30 a piece, woo!
Or free if you know what i be sayin'. yeahh.

 

[Rogue Robot]

Yeah. I think they got a bit carried away with the expansion packs as far as the "stuff" packs, and then the makin' magic pack for sim 1 was just kind of dumb.

what's missing?

 

[Rogue Robot]

I miss the hot tub, and when you visit places, like restaurants, you don't get to actually see inside. Other buildings are different, though, like the gym and pool.

 

[GreenEyedGirrrL]

what about weather effects? any? i wub the seasons ex-pack. yes i do.

 

[Rogue Robot]

No changes in weather. but you can garden.

From that trailer, it looks exactly the same as The Sims 2. More like an expansion pack than a new game. Is it *different* or is it the same-with-improvements?

I loved The Sims 1 with a PASSION.... and enjoyed The Sims 2 in a slightly more normal way. I don't think I care enough to buy the sims 3!

 

[Rogue Robot]

it's different. the things that you got from some of the expansion packs you get with this game. the neighborhood is also fully integrated, and you can go anywhere in the neighborhood, even knock on neighbor's doors.

Lol Sims. Wanted to play Sims 2 recently but don't have the validation key.

Always used cheats and just one massive room dedicated to those potion making tables, all with the red potion that put their happiness up so they'd do whatever I tell them.

lol

i got this...

the problem with the sims... is...

you get carried away with it... and without knowing... you spend like 2-3 hours non stop on it

unfortnuately for me... my laptop overheats and usually carks it... but its fun to play when i am playing it!!!

With Sims 2, I eventually built a room full of the career gift junk stuff that can be rather unsightly.
