The SimCity and Sims series Options

[mirocu]

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?

I got up early this morning, made waffles for breakfast, and now I'm eating while playing some Sims 3.

Nothing exciting is going on atm. Ashe Hull is about to start another week of power-work. She's a Workaholic and a Loner, so I decided to get her a computer. A laptop. She works at home occasionally, for hours and hours. She just made 384 Simoleans while doing so.

She's made a lot of money over the summer, and she's got over 4 grand saved. It's possible to buy lots (parcels of land) in the PC version of S3, which is probably what she's going to do. Lots are cheaper than actual houses, she can buy a lot for just over 2,000 Simoleans. In contrast, houses start at about 17,000 iirc. After Ashe buys her land, she's going to start building her own house here. This is where it's going to get really cool. I have no idea what sort of house to build.

I'm actually thinking of building a home similar to one I've seen in one of the better neighborhoods nearby me, but I don't know which house yet. I might go out driving around with my cell camera this week, find a cool-looking house, and take a pic of this house (from a safe distance). Then I'll try to replicate the look and layout of Ashe's dream home.



The house they live in now (pictured above) is a starter; one of the houses that is pre-built at the start of the game. It's narrow and gets cramped sometimes. Thank goodness none of my current Sims are slobs! Anyways, instead of buying another house (or modifying the one they live in now), Ashe is going to buy a lot. Then she'll be able to build her dream house slowly.

Connie Lingus is the world's greatest schmoozer. She don't work, don't have a desire to work, and why should she? Ashe makes plenty for the both of them!



At this moment, here we see that the showerhead has sprung a leak. There's a repairwoman trying to fix this, but can't get anything done because Connie won't let her! She keeps chatting and chatting with the poor woman.
