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 played a Sims game once, back when I first got a Gamecube. That lasted maybe a week. I bought my Sim a telescope and he was abducted by aliens. At that point I lost interest.

I had Simcity 3000 years ago, and it was pretty good fun. I never figured out what happened to it, but it just disappeared. I'd been considering picking up Sim City 4, but I doubt it would run on my current laptop.

I love the Sims series

In the Sims, I always used the Rosebud cheat to build a really awesome house and then never actually bothered putting people in it. I ended up with neighbourhoods that were just uninhabited ghost towns.

This. I enjoyed building houses more than actually playing people.

I keep forgetting about my sims, lol

What´s your favorite expansion? You´re a girl sooo, Hot Date, right?


-stereotypical mirocu has spoken!-


Actually, my brother wanted that one once so....

I'm with both of you guys. I spent more time carefully building the houses than I ever did actually managing the sims. I did enjoy that aspect but it was much more fun creating the environment than it was to watch little human hamsters live in it.

Much like building with Lego. Once the build is done it´s no fun playing with it!

When I get my new town started I´ll post pixies here for anyone who might give a crap

[mirocu]

I might not put pixies up as I apparently made a mistake. I ordered and got SimCity 3000 UK Edition when really I wanted World Edition where you can get it all in Swedish. I can´t play this game in English, it simply doesn´t work for me.

One of my sims shocked my other sim, lol

How does it work? Do I have to use my credit card or something?

@Kobby - He gave her a b-slap!

Yes that's how buying things on the internet works.

[mirocu]

Yes that's how buying things on the internet works.

One of the ways, yes. And not one I´m comfortable with.

GOG are very trustworthy if that's what your worried about.

They've been nominated for a Golden Joystick awards up there against Steam.

They sell retro/classic games and indie games all DRM-Free.

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.

Well enjoy your game, Renee! Wish I could do the same Dare I hope for pixies from you in the same style you sometimes had in your Saga updates?

Absolutely. Matter of fact, all I gotta do is press C on the keyboard to take a picture. I've got a bunch of 'em, but I keep forgetting to figure out how to view these. Once I figure this out, I'll start adding some pix to this thread.

So you are having an issue with getting the WorldWide version of SC3000 'cause of money? .. I guess I'm a little too trusting. I rarely use a credit card to buy anything online, but in this case I splurged. I got Sims 3 on disc from a store, but got Seasons straight from Origin Online. I couldn't wait to get it. I have PayPal account, and I could have just used this to get Seasons, but I don't remember my password. I got impatient and said screw it, I want Seasons NOW. Went ahead and used a c card.

Actually, that is one option, mirocu. If you've got PayPal (or some sort of similar accout) you can perhaps get your game this way? It's also possible that whoever you're ordering from might also take a check?
