    2. What is your favorite thing about the game?

    making new families and watching them grow
  • LadyLuxLadyLux Posts: 34 Member
    Hello! Technically I've been here a year, but I've abandonned this account for so long I feel like I need to introduce myself again. So hello! *waves*

    1. What is your favorite EP/SP and why ?
    I love Open For Business, loved it on TS2, love Get to Work on TS4. I'm a sucker for tycoon/strategy type games so having this type of gameplay inserted into TS4 is my idea of heaven. I only wish that you could choose to live above a shop and save travelling backwards and forth all of the time.

    2. What is your favorite thing about the game?
    How versatile it is, also the user-made challenges.

    3. Do you play with cheats? If so, which ones?
    I only use cheats (other than move_objects) when doing challenges. Sometimes if there's an unbearably ugly offspring I will tinker with them a bit if they're going to be the next heir.

    4. Do you have any tips/tricks you'd like to share?
    Dragonfruit plants are the one if you're doing some kind of runaway/legacy challenge.

    5. Do you have The Sims 4? If so, what are your favorite and least favorite things?
    I think they've fixed a lot of my issues I had in the beginning with more packs and updates. The base game wasn't much, but now it's probably my favourite sims now it has a lot more flesh on its bones.

    island paradise and seasons are my favorite just because to me they're the most nicely done

    Hello @Kathyrinia
    Island Paradise and Seasons are great Sims 3 eps! It is nice having our sims live on houseboats or enjoying running resorts.
    It is very nice seeing the different types of weather conditions that Seasons brought to the game.The changing world landscapes with each new season is very pretty! It is nice seeing our sims enjoying doing seasonal activities.
    Happy simming! :)

    Hello @LadyLux :)
    The retail feature in GTW is great! It is enjoyable having our sims selling a variety of items in their store, or having a themed shop for sims to visit and enjoy purchasing goods.
    Doing simming challenges is fun! It encourages us to play the game in new ways than how we may normally play the game.It is a great part of simming. It is nice seeing how other simmers are going on the same challenge also.
    Happy simming ! :)

    [b]1.) What is your favorite EP/SP and why?[/b]
    I like a lot of the EPs, but I'd have to say TS3 Pets or TS4 Get to Work are my favorites because I'm a huge animal lover and I LOVE to roleplay as Warrior Cats and make my own Clans in Pets. (Hopefully, there will be Pets for TS4 and you don't need to have the animals have owners!) I like Get to Work too because it's boring to just sit there and wait for your Sim to come back from work, so why not go to the workplace yourself and help?
    [b]2.) What is your favorite thing about the game?[/b]
    I love the fact that you can have legacies because with most simulation games you have that one family, that consists of a mother, father, and offspring but you have to reset in order to play as the offspring, whereas with the Sims you can still play as the original parents and the offspring.
    [b]3.)Do you play with cheats? If so, which ones?[/b]
    Yes, I do! I rarely ever use the motherlode cheat, only when my Sims are broke like they only have $50. I probably mostly use the cheat in which you can fully edit CAS, in case I wanted a son, not a daughter or if my kids are too ugly. I also sometimes use the cheat in which you can give your Sims 100% needs, but only for weddings, dates, etc.
    [b]4.) Do you have any tips/tricks that you'd like to share?[/b]
    I often see people try to flirt with Sims, and the Sim will reject their Sim's flirt. Listen, if you're after a certain Sim, then to get a good reaction out of them is to have a high relationship status with them, like if they're Good Friends. A status 75-87% friendship bar is pretty good to roll out the "Ask if single" and "Flirt" options.
    [b]5.) Do you have the Sims 4? If so, what are your favorite and least favorite things?[/b]
    Yes, I do. My favorite things are, of course, the legacies, and how smoother things look. I don't think it was an option to go to Sixam in the past games too, so I also like the fact that you can actually go to the alien planet. My least favorite things is probably that they don't have seasons, and it ticks me off that my Sim is standing in the middle of the road and a car drives RIGHT THROUGH THEM. Like, I would like to have some sort of reaction instead of Sim language. It's not that I want my Sims to be hit by cars, but I would like it to be more realistic that way.

    Hello @Sophie :) It is nice to meet you. Welcome to the forums!
    Sims 3 Pets is a great Ep! It is nice having pets as a part of the Sims household. It sounds like Sims 4 Pets may be announced at Gamescom tomorrow morning! That would be exciting!
    Legacies are a very special part of simming! It is nice seeing the new generations of children and watching them grow up in our games. It is interesting seeing the differences and similaririties between siblings, and other generations.
    Happy simming! :)

    1. What is your favorite EP/SP and why ?
    Expansion pack would be ts3 pets or ts4 get to work, pretty much for the exact reasons as s0phie, though I've never made my own clan surprisingly, seeing as that's where I get my username.

    2. What is your favorite thing about the game?
    My favorite thing... i'm not entirely sure- I guess the progression, just getting to see your sim family age and achieve their goals/have kids

    3. Do you play with cheats? If so, which ones?
    I usually do testingcheatsenabled true on the sims 3 and use the slider for social for my pets.

    4. Do you have any tips/tricks you'd like to share?
    umm, actually no, I don't really know any tips or anything...

    5. Do you have The Sims 4? If so, what are your favorite and least favorite things?
    I do, my least favorite is probably building the roof... I hated that on the sims 3 so I did auto-roof on and 4 doesn't seem to have the option so my houses are roofless... favorite thing? they seem to need to eat 2 times a day, and the power/water gets shut off rather than things getting repoed. though the eating gets annoying sometimes...

    Hello @Sharpheart :) It is nice to meet you.
    It is great seeing our sims progress through their lives, get promoted in their careers, and enjoy spending time with their kids. It is special seeing them from when a baby , right through to the elder stage. They become special to us <3

    I've been playing The Sims since 2000, but somehow I never actually joined the forum until today!

    The Sims 2 has a very special place in my heart - I probably played that version longer than I played The Sims 3. But I have been blown away by how awesome The Sims 4 has been. On principle I didn't get it until toddlers were introduced, so I haven't been playing it for a really long time, but it is so full and rich now!

    I'm really hoping we get Seasons in The Sims 4, that's one piece I really miss!

    Since I'm new I tought that this would be great discussion to tell a little bit about me as a player.

    1. What is your favorite EP/SP and why ?
    Pets! I love dogs and horses and sims 3 was first time ever when two of my favourite species where placed on same game. I started playing the sims 2 back in the day just becouse of this expansion. I was so happy that I could pretend to be a breeder and even mix my favourite breeds together just to see what the puppies will look like.

    2. What is your favorite thing about the game?
    I think I mostly explained it in previous answer but after playing with just sims 2 and pets I found my self falling in love with the game even more and more. Sowly I got every expansion pack and now there's no way back I have been playing sims games for over ten years. Sims allows me to follow my dreams and make them come true. When I was younger and my parents told me that we couldn't get a dog it helped me a lot that at least my sims were able to own dogs.

    3. Do you play with cheats? If so, which ones?
    I only use cheats that help me with needs.

    4. Do you have any tips/tricks you'd like to share?
    Not really I mean sims is kind of large genre with four main games and dozens of ep's, sp's and now even gp's.

    5. Do you have The Sims 4? If so, what are your favorite and least favorite things?
    Yes, my least favourite is that I miss pets so badly so I haven't fully left sims 3 but after pets come out I think I'll be happy. Best thing is that there are way less bugs.

    Hello @Helkkuli :) It is nice to meet you. Welcome to the forums!
    Pets are very special to have in our games! It is great seeing them interact with sims and with other pets. It is very nice that having pets in your game made you enjoy the game even more, and helps you to enjoy doing things or having pets that were unable to be a part of your real life.
    I am looking forward to November and the release of sims 4 Cats and Dogs! It sounds great!
    Happy simming! :)

    Hello @IcedCaramelCream :) It is nice to meet you. Welcome to the forums!
    It is nice that you have just started Sims 3 simming. Carls Sims 3 site has many helpful guides to playing the game. This is a link to the site. http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com
    You would enjoy having Sims 3 Supernstural Ep in your game, and having vampires, werewolves, witches and fairies in the sims worlds.
    Happy simming! :)
    Also I know this thread isn't for questions but for the life of me I can't figure out how to create a discussion. I see no blue button on the right. Are newbies not allowed to start new discussions?

    My favorite expansion pack would have to be generations, pets, seasons, and honestly, university. The game just doesn't feel complete without these expansions. Generations should have been a part of the game from the get-go, as I feel it is pretty crucial that our elderly sims have memories of their past and to have the social interaction of showing off their grandchildren. Pets should have also been included, as they are considered family and the sims is all about making families :tongue: Seasons is also pretty important in my opinion, as summer cannot last forever lol... In order words, realism. Same thing with university. It would be awesome and extremely important and should be valued for your sim to go to university. Again, this is just my opinion! :smile:

    My favorite thing about the sims is the fact that you can have families with unique genetics that pass down through the generations, and that you can play them however your heart desires. I personally like to play really chaotic situations, or really super duper normal situations.

    Sometimes. It really just depends. For example, if I am playing non-challenge, non-legacy, ect situations, then I use the cheats motherlode, hideheadlineeffects, freerealestate, ect. I mostly cheat for pictures and background imagery for the pictures.

    Not necessarily... Maybe, if you make your male sims face a little longer then they begin to look more realistic and masculine. Is that a tip? :smiley:

    Absolutely! My favorite thing about the sims 4 is the mostly accurate genetic system they have in place. However, my least favorite thing is the unrealistic graphics. I still love the game lol.

    Your favourite eps are great packs! It is exciting that Sims 4 Cats and Dogs is being released in November! I am looking forward to it! It sounds great :)
    Cheats can be very helpful in the game. They can help to fix up issues if and when they arise. They can also help to get our sims set up and started in their sim lives in our games.
    Happy simming! :)

    Hello @Valuzza90 :) It is nice to meet you. Welcome to the forums !
    I am looking forward to Cats and Dogs Ep also! It looks and sounds great!
    Creating sims and designing, building and furnishing homes and venues are special parts of simming! They are enjoyable ways of expressing our creativity. It is great that we can build homes in a variety of different styles and themes, and with different colour schemes.
    Cheats can be very useful and helpful in the game. The moo cheat is great to use when in build mode,
    Happy simming! :)

    Hi. I've played The Sims for a long time, but I have never messed with the forum. I've read other simmers stories and looked for answers to questions and issues I've had with the game, but I have never been one to post much. I just thought that after so many years of membership, I would finally introduce myself. So, hi. Nice to meet you all.

    Hello @venomistress :) It is nice to meet you. Welcome to the forums !
    It is nice that you have been visiting the forums to read the stories of the sims that are in fellow simmers games, and to find answers to issues that have arisen in your game. There are a lot of helpful tips and fixes that simmers have posted on threads, and it is very enjoyable reading about and seeing pictures of the other simmers' sims. I hope that you may like to post on threads about your simming experiences also.
    Happy simming! :)
