The SimCity and Sims series Options

I thought I´d make a thread about this as I´m just about to replay SimCity 3000

As I mentioned, when I played it before it literally missed me off when people fled my city even though everything was peechy. But when I started to play cookie clicker and saw those funny little updates I was so reminded of SimCity since that game has them too and I liked them. I also liked how far down you could zoom and watch your Sims wander around or watch yet another traffic jam involving both cars and trains! The game should arrive this or next week and I can´t wait to be mayor once again!

Anyone else who likes either of the game series?

Wow, there IS a Sims thread here.

I just got Sims 3 for PC a couple weeks ago. It's my second computer game (Baldur's Gate was my first) and WOW what a difference from console versions. I bought Sims 3 for console on its release date 3 years ago. Got it for PS3 initially, and later got S3 on Xbox.

I'd always find myself getting TOTALLY obsessed with this game for a week or two, mostly because I can get a different sort of gaming fix with S3 than I can from Elder Scrolls, but then after that time I'd start getting bored with Sims. I really was hoping Sims 3: Seasons would be released for consoles, but Sims Studio mostly only gave us a few fashion DLCs, a couple cars, and then walked away from it.

Well I got Sims 3: Seasons last week and this DLC alone enhances the game in many ways which I was hoping for. One of my characters (Connie Lingus) caught a cold after spending too much time in the rain. She also walked around in wet clothes for a few hours after the rain squall ended. It's details like this which really get me into the game. After Connie's cold was cured, her roommate Ashe Hull then caught a cold the next day! It's as if the computer actually made sure to make this cold possibly contagious from one Sim to the next.

S3 on PC also is a truly open-world game. On consoles there are loading screens (LONG loading screens) every time I want to follow my Sim from one part of town to another. Anyways, I'll start adding my Sims 3 adventures here from now on. Thanks mirocu.

I bet you'll love the Frostfall mod when you get Skyrim for the PC. Braziers and campfires, warm clothing, tents and many other things cease to be mere decorations with this mod. I just love seeing my characters warm their hands in front of a cooking fire - that never gets old. As you say, it's little details like this that bring a character and the world to life in our imaginations.
