The SimCity and Sims series Options

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.

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.

@Renee - Well, the problem is more about even finding the game, at least in physical form which is how I prefer. Idk... I´m not crashing and burning with this, I just thought it could be fun to play it again but as I had a... erhm... slight incident of misuse with my former copy I need to find a new one and that´s really hard these days.

Looking forward to your Sims pixies!

CT: Yeah I know, right? Me and my silly names.

PW: Hey thanks for that mod link! I've already been to www.modthesims.com and did a bit of window shopping, but I haven't had time to sit down and install my first mod yet. From what I understand, the modding of Sims is not as dynamic as in ES, since Sims Studio doesn't give us the actual tool kit or whatever. I'll definitely try to get that Frostfall mod going.

mirocu: Keep looking, I'm sure you'll find what you're seeking eventually.

My Sim just had a baby with her partner

I remember playing the original Sim City on a mac. Things would get exciting when Godzilla would show up and go on a rampage. Now those were the days of gaming...

The dog scared me, lol. It was curled up in a ball in front of the door, and I thought it died, lol. I panicked a bit, because I'm not sure if things die in sims. It got up and instantly started digging around the yard though, lol

[Elisabeth Hollow]

In Freeplay, like we have, I don't think things can die.

[King Of Beasts]

The dog got up and started running around when I pressed it assuming I could dispose of the body, lol. It truly looked dead though, lol

You mean with Free Will cranked all the way to max, they will never die? Interesting. I've seen some Sims do some pretty wacky things, like getting obsessed with exercise to the point that they wind up ignoring (let's say) their Bladder, and within a few they pee themselves. I've also seen them fall flat on their face because they choose not to go to bed, to the point that they literally crash on a floor somewhere. I've always assumed this sort of logic applies to their Hunger as well, but come and think of it, I've never had a Sim die before.

Didn´t know you could go ghost hunting in Sims, thought you were kidding first

Yeah those pics are great!

There's a lot you can do. I've had this game since its release 3 years ago yet I feel as if I've barely scratched the surface.

[Callidus Thorn]

Great. Thanks Kobby, now I've got the theme to Ghostbusters running through my head.

That's gonna be stuck there for hours.

Who you gonna call?

Does anybody know how to upload screenshots here to Chorrol? I keep getting confused. I found a folder full of screenies I've taken, but

Never mind, I figured it out. Here's a few screenshots of my Sims, folks. They're not as cool as Kobbie's, but I just wanted to see if I could actually get this working.

OH and, these are my very first PC screenshots.



That one is all three of my Sims. For some reason, I have often have a trio of characters: two women and a daughter. I'm not sure why this is, psychologically. There was one time I had three adults and a child, which was fun, but I usually go for the trio.

Anyways, The lady with the black hair is Ashe Hull. She is an Ambitious Workaholic. She's Neurotic, but also Charismatic, and (I think) a Great Kisser. She wants to become CEO of a corporation; this is her dream in life, and she's doing pretty good at it. Making good money.

Her Roommate (with the greyish hair, although this has recently been dyed a true blonde) is Connie Lingus. Connie is a Loser (she occasionally breaks down in tears for no apparent reason), and also Charismatic, a Schmoozer, and has a couple romantic traits that I'm forgetting the names of. Basically Connie's packed with pretty much useless personality traits that make her great at connecting with random strangers, but she has no real goals in life, other than to hook up with as many other Sims as possible.

The young girl is Princess Hull. She's a Snob, and her other traits escape me at the moment. She's doing well in school, even though I don't think I specifically gave her any traits to enhance this.



In the picture above, here we see Connie getting to know their maid. As we can see, she's rather good at schmoozing and bull****ing. She is able to distract this maid from doing her job, after all.

And now for the last pic.



That's Ashe off to work. I love her business outfits. The game automatically assigns these as she rises up at her job, getting promotion after promotion, and with every promotion she looks a little bit more like she's off to a power lunch or something.
