Eventually you'll get into the routine and it won't be an issue! Level up cooking to make better meals, and spend the extra money on higher quality items so their needs will fill up a bit more quickly! Sims 1 is HARD. You go to Magic Town, duel Vicki Vampiress one time, and your sim needs to pee, shower, and go to bed. It's an amazing game but is slightly too needs based. Probably stems from the core game with no expansions. Sims 2 IMO is pretty fair. You still have to focus on needs and can't like max your career in one week, but the gameplay gives you time and freedom to explore and go out. (There are amazing mods to improve this game's bugs, looks, and feel but it's a lot of work. I also pray for a loading speed increase one day.) Sims 3 relaxed things a bit which makes sense because of wanting to explore the open world. Now why the Sims 4 is like child easy mode when you never want to leave your house to avoid loading screens is beyond me. It's only a build mode simulator for me for a reason. The question is, do I fire up the dogshit EA App to claim some of these mobile gaming garbage daily logins even though I rarely play?

Bloodflowers. Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I counted how much time it takes in Sims 2 and Sims 3 to go to a community lot. Sims 2 loaded faster when I went to a community lot than when my Sims went from their apartmant to a club in Sims 3 Late Night. From waiting that damn elevator to driving taxi to randomly stopping to go to that green thingy transportation to going to taxi again. Open World really got me fooled into thinking Sims go from house to a community lot faster (unless it's near you in a smaller world). Not to mention when your needs get low, you simply load back into home, while their needs are dropping as I am travelling back home in Sims 3. Sims 5 needs Open World but faster transportation option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodflowers. Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Is it possible to create a whole new fanmade Expansion Packs via mods for Sims 2? I see someone tried making Farm Life a thing but the problem is that chicken, horses and cows don't move. They are basically just decorations that you feed and hatch. But if they managed to make things that weren't programmed into original game be functional then you could play brand new expansions pack for free. But I guess they are much difficult to create if you're not a highly advanced programmer, and they do exist but I doubt they are playing Sims 2 in order to cook a bunch of new stuff and functions as if it's still 2008 and Sims 2 team is still developing Sims 2 expansion packs And if they can make you visit residential lots, not just community lots, oh it's gonna be cooking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the programming language they used for TS2 is available anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, unless Will Wright wakes up from his slumber and joins developing TS5, I don't think there's much future for the life sim genre 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad guy Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 It's the way with a few mods and custom content TS2 looks even better than TS4 and has enough gameplay and lore that never gets old. I just got back to playing it after like a year break and it's so timeless. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
