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?

Here are some of my latest Sims 3 moments.

1). Apparently we can get some meds in the game to cure sickness. Now that Fall has begun in-game, the hospital is finally offering flu shots. Ashe went ahead and got a shot, and Princess will also do so on the weekend, but Connie is too much of a space cadet. She hasn't even found a job yet.

2). Now that Fall has begun, leaves start piling up on the ground, and some of the Sims rake these up. It's not 100% realistic (the animations for all this) but eventually there will be a large pile of leaves somewhere, and the Sims can play in this. I haven't seen any leaves change color on trees yet, that would be really neat if this happens.

3). Just before summer ended there were a couple hail storms. This time, the animation is pretty realistic, as chunks of hail fall on the ground and bounce everywhere!

4). Connie's girlfriend is still the maid. She's had her second date with this maid (whose name is Kate). During the date, which was in a park, Connie started flirting with yet another Sim! Although I usually let her do her own thing, I had to interrupt that moment!

>>> I like to think that my Sims game is rather like a reality show, and I happen to be the director/producer of this show. :lmao: So when I 'interrupt' something, I'm RPing that (as the producer) I am giving my Sims some advice, to keep the shows ratings from falling.

5). I haven't figured out how to sell items yet, so whenever something gets replaced in their home, I tend to just drag it out into the yard. I moved their old shower out there, right in the middle of some grass. Connie and Ashe seem to love it out there; they actually prefer taking showers outdoors. :ermm:

6). Ashe bought a second plot of land. The first one she bought was a plot she found online--she went on her laptop and found an option to buy land. Anyways, at first I had no idea where the land she just bought was, and I accidently bought another plot of land after exploring the town a bit. So now she's got two plots of land, which means she can eventually build two houses if she wants to. I put flooring down for one of these future houses.

Also, for those who don't know it yet, my first PC mods are for Sims 3. I'm slowly turning into a modding queen, folks. So far, the mods I've DL'd include a No Intro mod (disables the game's intro movie), a No Pixelation (nude) mod, a height-slider mod (this makes new Sims taller or shorter, I haven't used it yet, though), a mod which I can use to play my own music in the game (this assumes a stereo is nearby--my music will play out of this stereo), Longer Seasons (the default for Seasons is 28 days max. With this mod Seasons can last up to 84 days), Sims Life Aging Mod (SLAM, this is what I used to make them live longer), and a mod which gives new babies Zodiac signs that match the actual month they are born in. Since Connie and Ashe haven't had any babies, this mod lies dormant for now.
