Sims

[Colu]

Does anyone else here ever play the Sims? Well, it doesn’t matter, I’ll still make the thread anyway and ramble on about my own shit bahaha

My first exposure to the Sims was actually Sims 2 for the PS2, shortly followed by Sims 2 Castaway and Urbz: Sims in The City, all for the PS2. I got rid of my PS2 and games at some point many years ago and I absolutely kick myself in the ass about it now. Even if I didn’t keep the system or most of the games, I sincerely wish I had at least kept Castaway and/or Urbz. Andy has a PS2 and I have since found a replacement for just Sims 2, but I’ve never come across the other two. At the same time, though, it’s extremely rare that we hook up the PS2 anyway, so it’s not like it’s a huge loss. 
 

After the Sims 2 stuff on the PS2, my next exposure to the Sims would be Sims 4 for the PC, which I absolutely fell in love with. I still play Sims 4, but now only on the PS5. I have a huge lot that I’m currently playing and built myself which I’m quite proud of! I challenged myself to make a lot that’s entirely outdoors, off-the-grid, and requires fresh ingredients for any cooking. I also have the added challenge of my sim not being allowed to work a real job but still needs to make money to actually build anything on the lot, so it’s taken me a long time to build it up to where it is but it’s been a lot of fun. She’s quite well established with her gardening yard sales now though and money is never an issue anymore so I can pretty much do whatever I want with the lot at this point. I do have loooooots of screenshots of it, from when I first started to its almost current state (I added some more stuff last night and haven’t done more screenshots yet), but I they’re all on the PS5 and I can only send 4 screenshots at a time to my phone. I did recently figure out that I can have it so that any screenshots or videos I take on the PS5 will automatically upload to the PS app on my phone, which I’ve since enabled, but it won’t automatically upload any screenshots that were taken before it was enabled. Eventually I’ll get around to it!

I also have a couple other builds that I’ve done on the PC version of Sims 4 (I think I shared the Trash Trailer over in my Colu’s Crapola Corner thread), but I don’t know when I’ll get around to sharing those. 
 

Aside from Sims 4, lately I’ve been playing Sims 3 on Andy’s old af laptop (seriously, it’s 11 years old ahaha). 

Right now I have a sim (Melissa) that’s married to Malcolm Landgraab and they have a daughter together (Sara). Melissa is quite a bit older than Malcom, she aged up into an Elder and he only just aged up to Adult. Sara also just had her birthday and she is now a child, so glad I don’t have to keep taking her in and out of the crib anymore!

Melissa is retired from the business career so she spends her time doting on Sara, who is spoiled rotten. Malcolm I don’t play with much aside from making sure he gets promotions, I’m mostly using him as a sugar daddy to get as much money as possible before Sara ages up into a teen.

I plan on having Sara become a freeloading party animal that spends all of her rich parents money. I even got Night Life on sale the other day so that there will be more fun places for her to party and spend money once she’s older ahaha.

If she manages to spend all the money at some point, then I will get her to learn an instrument and play for tips, but I’ll never get her a real job or use cheats to increase the money. She has the virtuoso trait, which will make learning instruments easier, but all the rest of her traits will be focused on social traits. Her next traits will be Party Animal and Star Quality (or whatever it’s called, it came with the Night Life expansion but I don’t quite remember what it’s called, it has something to do with being a celebrity). Right now she has Virtuoso, Friendly, and something else that I can’t remember at the moment haha. She’s basically gonna be a Paris Hilton but maybe with a smidgen more class than that haha

 

Anyway! Who else plays? What’s your play style? Share your stories and screenshots and whatever else related to the Sims franchise!

I haven't play much Sims but I remember a Sims city building game I played once. It was a long time ago and I was really obsessed with playing it during the time I did  I don't think it's like the normal standard Sims games. I played Sims Outdoor Retreat once a lot of years ago too that I like.

I still play Sims 4.

Have they even given any updates about it lately? 
I think they were supposed to start small playtesting in the autumn of 2024, but I don’t know if they made it that far yet or not

[DJJAW04]

I haven't heard anything on that project. But i believe that Colu is right about the small playtesting of last year.

Time to go be a detective (I downloaded someone’s version of Rick Deckard off the gallery in Sims 4 and am using him to play the Detective career from Get To Work)

[Colu]

Deckard was feeling a bit tired on his most recent shift and decided to have a nap in one of the jail cells

I’m sure your own bed is much more comfortable than a wooden bench in a jail cell lmao

Players often choose reliable platforms like https://rocketplaycasino.org/ for example, where generous bonuses and a wide selection of games are available.

If it weren't for my wife, I wouldn't be responding to this topic. The thing is, she made me install Sims on my pc. Now I have one hour less pc time per day.
