What Should I Do?

LaurenSynclair

Hi

I have not been playing Sims recently and i wanted to go back on...but i'm having a problem with staying on long enough for anything to happen? Have i gone back on Sims 3 too early after i haven't played it in like a month? I really want to get excited about a family? Should i take a really long time in creating something special? Has this worked for you?

Happy Simming

If you like creating, then create...If your more into actually playing it rather than extensively building/creating then do that.

Also it ain't that long before WA comes out, maybe that will inspire you to play more :thumbup:

Do something different in your game. If you normally just make a sim then make them find there lover and they have kids etc, it can get boring doing the same thing over again. Make a family and play them with a story line. Or maybe making things is more your style. Houses, Parks, Community Lots, anything. Find something you enjoy or try lots of things. IT is up to you

Make a couple sims with extreme traits, but also make up their background stories. I normally find the traits and LTW too limited, I need to create a much more detailed background story for my sims.

Did you ever play a sim dedicated to collecting or fishing or growing?

Or a couple conflicting - one wants to fly, the other to dorm on the sofa.
How about a handsome but crazy male sim who is totally obsessed with anything including wings? He dreams of becoming a pilot, he collects butterflies, he adore angels, airplanes, etc. Match him with a down to earth female who has some (imaginary) disease making it too hard for her to work (hypocondry?), she prefers staying at home, relaxing on the sofa, lazy daisy... maybe HE picked her for her name alone - Angelina? When their kids grow up, will they go for the wings or the sofa?
Ha - or make up something similar...

Yes, branch out more and try to accomplish all the difficult tasks, like: collecting all the rocks, reaching the top level of several careers, maxing out all skills to get all the plaques, completing all the skill challenges within that skill, reading 100 books, writing and making over $30,000 in royalties, catching 10 perfect fish of every kind, learning every recipe and making a perfect dish of each one, etc. etc....there's so much to do in Sims 3.

I thought it was cute the first time I ever saw the red glowing aura around a Sim that had made it to the top of the criminal career "Emperor of Evil." It was Marty Keaton's son, Jessie.

The sad part was everyone used to snarl at him or scream and run away when they saw him, but he was not evil. Jessie's traits were actually "Good," "Good Sense of Humor" and "Friendly." Jessie was very cute too, but never had a girlfriend. Awwww.
