It depends of the aspiration of the Sims. Some are too easy/repetitive so you don't bother to have them in gold (friends/romantic). But sometimes I want to change the life want I don't like it but then the aspiration associated make it more difficult to go in gold. That's when I keep more interest in accomplishing the…
Started with a single CAS sim because didn't find any attractive to me. Then I did create even more, have babies.... I just tried to populate the town in my own way. I went into the uni thing, whose Sims were so much better. Then I started to kill/delete many of the Sims I don't like (which is bad for corruption, I learned…
High bills+more... Graduate students can't afford a starter home for example that gives usefulness to apartments with cheap renting. You still don't want to let them stay because you block your wants with the "buy some basic stuff" ones. I do agree there are sideways making the game easy, but it's your choice to use them…
O I do agree . Coming back on corruption, it's more about what you should not do, or recovering what you did wrong, as avoiding with a mod. My first time I reach to play a really long time (weeks) with no problem, even I did what should not be done but I guess I was lucky. Playing the ultimate collection, I guess they are…
Happens to me too. When using a regular phone, they just hang up first time so I have to give order twice. I thought it was related to one of my mods, but now I dunno.
I had better time going through generation with the Sims 3, maybe because all families are aging at the same time, it feels more like a city (an island in fact) management. I still have difficulty in the sims 2 to not abuse of elixirs of life!
I started to use mods for making the game harder (higher bills, career restrictions... No 20k) Now I need some nice way to start adult life with low money after the uni, when they come back with a few thousands simoleons only, and I enjoy building small very cheap pension (apartments build) not spoiling my interest by…
I think there is no essential mods, you can play a very long time without modding the game.... I did that until I wished to make the game a bit better and I use mods by now but that's not essential.
If you care a little bit on your sims wants, you will earn enough points to buy a train of elixir of life which makes cheating pretty useless. If you go through childhood uni and so on you may have already like 3 more times as adult when becoming a teen, and get like 20 elixirs when coming back from the uni...
My own experience Sims (1) first then many years later the 3 then the 4 and now the 2 I am deeply in the 2 but as you ask I had much more time and fun with the 3 as with the 4. I get quickly bored with the 4. Won't say more.
To not be overwhelmed, there cheats in game to use but but I won't recommend it, I think it's a good feeling go explore and don't make immortal overpowered Sims, just make new generation and so on. When you get more used you can then start to have a look on modding the game, but you still can enjoy a lot without going in…
Well sure, I can get you get more quality with Sims 4 content for story writing, I did some too, but when I do that I play same time i'n not a pure story writer and then I find the gameplay much less enjoyable in my own taste.
Until they get more relaxed A+ level, I almost always bring parental help to do them. And high speed fun maker around . The invited child can have good use for that. Or a violin or that soundbox or... If you care and reach to balance the needs, you find the night finally not that short and with still some space for other…
I put mods in my game after having played hundreds of hours without them. A wish to get more quality, difficulty... Well I was first very satisfied but, then I got a sim involved into getting at the top of its career and same time babies you know, to get the max benefits... And he didn't get promoted, hard time to me. So I…
How I did hate salsa, which is the default one. All these apartment lots with a stereo turned on by the NPC in Belladonna cove, each time I finally had to delete these stereos from the lot
Basically, when they made the 2 it was a huge jump from the one and everyone were very involved in that evolution, the players like the makers. Bringing death and life, 3d... That was awesome and they were a wish to be really astonishing. So that give birth to a product full of quality with some delightful new animation.…
I go eat at Londoneste with the big table especially each time I got that phone call to introduce downtown. Now I still didn't go everywhere. I play more my own made community lots.
Thanks for your suggestions. The first one would leave the 3 male maids in the neighborhood, creating a 4th female maid which is nice but look a hassle to do, I will need to end service and switch maid each time to befriend another one with the same household. Then what is the better easy and quick cheaty way to befriend a…
Have a house builder/ decoration job. Instead of just instant building via build mode, create some nice animation for it. Doesn't mean end of build mode, can be kept aside. I am like others very interested in all things left aside from previous iterations of the game, but I am even even more interested in fully new…
