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'll probaly post content here too.

Please do

I don't use any mods although that No Intro mod is very bloody tempting.

Can´t you just press a button and skip the intro like in Simcity?


@Renee - Ehm.. nice pixies...? Not sure if I should go any further with this

You can, but this means you have to wait until the intro actually shows up. You have to wait for several little animations (like the Maxis logo) come and go before the intro movie starts. This takes 20 or 30 seconds.

So in other words, if the intro movie is disabled, that's 20 or 30 seconds saved. I don't have to wait through those seconds to press a button on my keyboard, which means I can do something else. I can nuke a meal or change clothes or whatever.

I was trying to be subtle. Believe me, the last thing I'd want to see is me (the producer of Ashe and Connie) getting fined right when the show's taking off. That's my roleplay with Sims 3, by the way--I am the producer and director of their reality show.

It's such a great roleplay, too. I pretend my Sims have small earpieces (disguised as ear rings) equipped. Although they can do things on their own, I can also give them suggestions here and there. So (let's say) if there's somebody cute I want Connie to check out, I'll click on that Sim and off she goes.
