Yeah, I’m a kiwi (i.e. New Zealander) so it is Summer here right now. I know a lot of you will be in various parts of the northern hemisphere and therefore experiencing a variety of cold...
Uni is out for the year (until February) and looking for work only really takes so long each day. The result is I’m finding myself with time on my hands and I’m thinking about firing up the Sims again.
So tell me what’s been happing in Sim Nation while I’ve been gone? Are you and/or your Sims gearing up for Christmas? (I suppose Sims aren’t getting a ‘White Christmas’ yet, while awaiting real seasons?)
I won’t be able to get pets yet because A) broke student and
my computer is getting too old to run the graphics. Doesn’t mean you can’t tell me about the fun you’re having with your new plickas. Help me get excited about our favourite virtual people again; woo!

I’ve had Sim toddlers and this is achieving what I wanted by reminding me that they’re super fun and I want to play them again. Thanks. (Just one at a time though, craziness in moderation you know).

Things I have enjoyed in the past:
-an artist living in an apartment in San Myshuno
-a scientist who even made it to Sixam via the wormhole generator (at work/the lab) while raising a family.
-raising toddlers to young adults (unfortunately I always seem to stop there and restart. I DID get better on my very last game and the eldest even moved out to his own place and started dating)
-a doctor (this one did reasonable, but didn’t max out before I restarted)
- a collector (this was the scientist and she completed frogs and nearly metals, gems, elements; wish the MySims were a bit easier..)
- a geek/nerd type who programmed and played video games at all hours.
Things I haven’t tried yet, but am thinking about:
- adoption, rather than procreation
- a serial romantic/player
- a detective
- a ghost, with probable resurrection
It could be worth noting that all my Sims have been:
-human (no aliens or ghosts and I don’t own or particularly want vampires..)
-monogamous
-rather introverted; no crowds of friends, no crazy parties, no real experience with get together clubs
But I think it’s about time some of this changed. I think I’d like a Sim who’ll “live it up” a little.
Ideas, Opinions ? ? ?
Aussie here, summer simming is my usual thing. It gets too hot to want to do much else, other than sit under the ac, and create my own soap operas.
This has been the first year that I've played the sims all year round. I started dabbling with modelling comps last summer. It gave me something new and different to get out of the game. I'm thinking of branching into more story telling too, in the new year.
I'd suggest that you try some play styles you haven't tried before.
Try a serial romantic party animal. A total player. It can be fun to try to knock up the entire town.
Or experiment with the GT clubs. I've got a mothers coffee club, a cabaret drag club, and several teen cliques.
One of my recent sim projects has been a rotational play save, with all of the sims that I've made then neglected in the past. I've got a bit of everything going on there. About once a week, I add another neglected blast from the past.
Funny; I used to play year round. So I’m the opposite.
As you may have read above; I’m contemplating playing a bit of a wild child, serial romantic/party animal. The budding plan is two roommates in a cheap, city apartment. One into comedy/music/mixology/partying til dawn. The other, probably in Social Media. Photography? (All those Selfies) and Art/Food with a possibility to dabbling in Critic career.
And they're all going to be living on top of each other in a tiny, cruddy apartment.
It was probably the Cats & Dogs pre-release patch. Unfortunately this patch changed a LOT of the games coding so most mods & cc broke. This was expected, but there was nothing modders & cc creators could do until cats & dogs was released. Hope you don't have too many mods or cc affected.

I might be born in South Africa but I am a true Kiwi at heart
I was born in England ... ... thought I'd share that with you.
Every time I go back to see my family, I realize why I'm better off in Australia - sunshine!
Last time i went back for a month in June/July we had 3 days of sun, it rained all the other days
Certainly don't go back for the weather!
Mind you in saying that, I do miss a traditional cold Christmas. Little country pubs, quaint villages ... ...
