The Sims 3

[The Groke]

So I built a small Gazebo in my garden.

I lured in an unsuspecting neighbour with the promise of TV and fun.

I then removed the door and replaced it with a window.

I put some rotten food in there to see how hungry he would get, but he was obviously too proud to eat it.

After about a week of complaining, passing out and pissing himself, he finally expired.

The grim reaper turned up in person to collect him.

More, tell me more!!

What is the most evil thing you can do?

My problem with The Sims is simple: I enjoyed building houses (even in the vanilla, non-upgraded version), but the rest of the game just didn't held my interest for much longer after I designed a suitable house.

If they made a "urban renewal kit" where we had to buy old houses, improve them and then sell the for a profit, I reckon I would have bought it. Or apartments, allowing huge fights between neighbours over 4pm rave parties

I used to lure my neighbours over for a swim in my pool, and then sell the pool ladder so they would swim themselved to death.

God, I'm liking the sound of this

I know a cheat for lots of money in Sims 3, if anyone gives a shit. Although, I'm sure you all do already anyway. Cuz, like, them games aren't worth shit unless you've got lots of money.

Roll on June 5th. (Although my Amazon supersaver delivery may mean I might not get it until later )

It's a bit middle class. Bring out the Council estate version and introduce social problems and it'd be a hoot.

Careers! pfft.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Anyone playing this yet?

I've pre-ordered from Amazon and done the whole supersaver delivery so I likely won't get it until November

 

[Vintage Paw]

No one playing it then? Or have your lives been so completely taken over you can't drag yourself away from it to answer me?

I'm itching to get my hands on it. Better take this opportunity to finish off a last little bit of transcribing work I've got - cos I sure as hell won't get chance once the game arrives

 

[The Groke]

I rebuilt my machine the other day when I put in a new HD and ended up zapping the cracked copy I had.

I have pre-ordered on download anyway, so I thought I would wait until tomorrow and play the real thing...

When you get yours, we should exchange account details and send our Sims to interfere with each others village...

 

[Chairman Meow]

I got it last night, and was badly torn between starting it and watching the Apprentice. It looks really good so far! I didn't know you could swap account details, that sounds like recipe for mayhem.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Gosh, I didn't know you could do that either. What happens then? You are still playing your game but you can visit someone else's town? A bit like Animal Crossing then? But obviously better.

(I dread to think of the state of my AC town )

 

[Vintage Paw]

Because I can't cope with life without cheats:

Um..not entirely sure actually. I think it means you can upload and share your towns and Sims and designs with folk, but I don't believe you actually visit anyone in real time online as it were.

Dammit Janet That would have been pretty cool. Especially if you could edit their shit

 

[Chairman Meow]

Is it just me or is the clock on it really slow? I can't seem to speed through them sleeping etc.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Is it just me or does everyone have it before me

Damn my (one-time) honesty for pre-ordering an actual, physical copy.

 

[subversplat]

Just ordered a Turion 64 x2 2gig so hopefully it will run (my woeful ATI Xpress 1100 isn't going to help matters but that's just the eyecandy)

 

[The Groke]

You can fast forward to 2, 3 or 4x speed with the little play and ff icons in the lower left side of the screen.

Yes. Sorry. We all got ours from the No Vintage Paws club.

Did that already, but it still seems dead slow. Mine were all asleep last night at the same time and it took AGES even on high speed. I ended up getting bored.

Fuck you. Fuck you all

My postie came and went today. No package from Amazon for me

 

[kained&able]

cunningly timed release for big brother being on tele.

I fucking hate the sims.

[Vintage Paw]

Ah, my Amazon account tells me my copy was despatched yesterday. There's a chance a man in a van may arrive with it yet. Although I doubt it. Probably tomorrow now. I'm busy tomorrow, dammit

 

[Vintage Paw]

So, can you make your own patterns and stuff? I hear you can go online and buy custom content, but I aren't doing that. But there's also the exchange, where you exchange one of your things for someone else's things. Or something. So what can you make in-game? Do you have to be clever?

Yeah you can do all sorts with the patterns and colours etc.

Actually building new objects is not on the cards yet, but I imagine it will be in time.

I think your copy of the Sims should come with some bonus "sim points" with which you can purchase new stuff online.

I didn't order the collector's edition, just the bog standard one. Although I will, apparently, get a download code tomorrow to download a special 'abstract circles' pattern. Lol. Looks like my house will be psychedelia 60s inspired

Amazon tells me that although they despatched my game yesterday I am due to receive it on the 10th. They are usually conservative with their delivery estimates though. I reckon I might get it tomorrow. But I'm busy tomorrow, dammit

I'm very excited. Can you tell?

 

[Vintage Paw]

Heh, the bitching and whining going on on the Amazon forums is hilarious. They're all like "I opted for free delivery, and it says it's estimated to be with me on the 10th, but it's not here today, I'm sooooooo angry, I think my life is over".

Twunts.

 

[lenny101]

Is there much difference between the PC version and X Box version?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I bought the first on e on the ps2 but it was boring as fuck. I thought you could just roam about and see where things went, nudge all sorts of people and play god. No, it's a full on dullard game where you have to get a job and drive really slowly on a scooter. Fuck off.

The console versions are completely different, mind. They're a bunch of fetch quests taped together with minigames. Or the other way around.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Yeah, so my absence from the internets for the past 2 days suggests it arrived on Saturday

Hooked much? Although already getting slightly bored.

Made a sim. moved her into the largest empty lot. Cheated myself loads of money. Built a fuck off big house with all the exciting stuff in it. That took nearly all Saturday lol. Then cos she doesn't have to work she decided to throw herself completely into her painting and music. She's getting ace already. Then I decided it'd be cool if she had a smooch, and she got married last night. Now her husband just went grey, but she's still young and hot. He just retired. Apparently he's a gold digger and his life's ambition is to kill his rich wife. I'm not going to let that happen. He'll be dead and buried and she'll still be living it large. Anyway, it's got a bit boring now, so I think I'm going to start another game on a smaller lot. Still not really to do it with no money. Motherlode ftw. I don't want any fucking kids though. Can two women get married in it? You can access the romantic section when chatting, so does that mean you can have gayers? I do hope so.

I might make a man this time.
