Iv'e just popped out to pc world and bought The Sims Triple Deluxe which I think is brilliant and the only other one I own is Sims Bustin Out so has anybody else got any sims games?

[Izar]

I have. They are awsome. You know a funny trick? Read:

Build just a pool, big, but with just a diving board and the ladder. After all members are in the pool, sell both of the pool items. Speed up a bit until they are tired. Tada! You gotta death on your hands ^_^

Yeah, the sims is great, I love building gigantic homes or two homes on one lot, that is, when i get enough money.

[Valistrix]

Yeah i've done done that trick before but another one is buy a house and put one family member init and fill it with chairs eventually the sim will have accidents on the chairs and use newspapers to cover it up and then soon they die

[Eugine]

Ah the Sims, I love Sims City out of all the Sims the most.

[Valistrix]

Have you played simcity 4000. it's wicked i start loads of fires and tornados and destroy the city

[Echo_djinn]

I heard there is a new sims game. Sims 2 and you can make a whole neighborhood in it or whatever.When I play this game I usually just hit on my friends wifes and just goof off but to control I whole neighborhood MUAHAHAHA..*cough cough* sorry nervous reaction.

[Valistrix]

I got a demo of sims 2 and it's wicked whole load of new features but i won't spoil it for you

[Mallick]

I have the sims,whenever I have neighbors I don't like I......

1.build a big room out side thier house with a fireplace and chairs

2.leav a couple peices of the last wall

3.get the neighbor to walk in and light the fireplace

4.watch the grim reaper come change the person into a tomb stone

[Valistrix]

yeah i like getting a neighbour over and then build four walls around them so they die or bordom

[el_Sethro]

I had that game, and I loved it, but it seems to have disappeared on me. I don't have any idea where it is, but I would love to find it and play it again

[Tachyon360]

The Sims was fun at first, and Livin' Large really made it great. The addition of House Party got me staying up 'till 1:00 AM. Then I started to gradually get more and more bored with it. The subsequent expansion packs kept me around for a while, but I just got sick of it after The Sims: Unleashed. I don't care much about Superstar and Makin' Magic, and I'm probably not going to play The Sims 2.

SimCity 4, on the other hand is great. Just get the Rush Hour expansion pack and grab a couple of mods from SimCityCentral and Simtropolis and you've got a game that'll keep you up all week. Then another week downloading new content. Then a week of sleeping in class and skipping your homework for sleep. Rinse, repeat. SimCity is civilization! (No pun intended.)

Come to think of it, I might get The Sims 2, because I've heard it's got some more SimCity-like management features and possibly the feature to transfer the neighborhoods to SimCity 4. It should keep me interested for a while.

Ooh! Ooh! Where'd you get it? Is it the Sims 2 body shop? I already have it if it is.

I don't have any Sims games but I wanna get the Sims 2.

[Echo_djinn]

There are so many Sims games out there right? So why are they calling this one Sims 2?

[Kikuichimonji]

only got the PC games of the Sims, but its really good

[Nerid]

I've tried to play the sims...but I just don't really get it...ner really I don't like it

In response to this, you dont need to buy the ladder; i figured out that you just need to buy the board. They cant get out and you dont need to sell anything.

[Someone Else]

Sims 2 is the best game ever, I've never played Sims 1, but this game is great. I've already gotten pretty used to doing stuff in the game. -_- The only thing about it is that it costs $50... :D

[Kikuichimonji]

$50=£25, good thing I have an NTSC version too :D

[Issac_Zero2]

The sims is a really fun game...But after a month or 2 of obsession you get bored of it...Unless you get the expansions...
I like building my own house by setting the money to oh lets say for example 10,000
And then you have to live off it...Its fun trying to challenge yourself with limitations...
Oh and its funny to see my friend's sims die by a stove fire...Man, he's horrible at that game...

[ForteGX]

What exactly is the point of the Sims? Is there a way to "beat" it? And what do you do afterwords if you do?

[TheDogWho]

No beating...
Just playing through...
I like it. What makes it so addictive though?
*Wonders why it's so addictive*

[Someone Else]

I'm having a hard time with that too... why is it so addictive?

The point of Sims is... eh... well thats the thing about it, there isn't really a point. ;) Ya just play with virtual characters and make 'em do things you do yourself just about everyday. :lol: It's oddly addicting. This game is good for those people who have WAAY to much time on their hands.

[Mycarayne]

Fun things to make The Sims® last longer:

Want a floating house??? Its easy, just build a two story house and sell the bottom story... Ta da!

Fun with fireworks: set them off inside!

Try and get the cops, fireman, repairman, maid, gardener, newspaper, debt collector, baby abuse lady (not sure about this one) and other NPC's into one room for a snapshot.

Make a pool with only a dive board or waterslide for it and when the kids get to much...

Water house: have your pool everywhere inside! No floor atall, except for 100% necessary place (bedroom, kitchen etc)

If you have Vacation, Hotdate and Unleashed, make a custom shop in your neighborhood with everything! Clothes, pets, games etc. This will save you the cost for going on vacation and downtown. (Unleashed® is a must)

Copy things off TV. I made a Kwik-i-mart and The Simpsons house as best I could by remembering them (I got the Simpson house floor plans from an Architectual assignment, so I killed two birds with one stone there.) My sis has a neighborhood full of celebraties aswell (Including herself married to Orlando Bloom *rolls eyes*)

Download stuff! I have a Sephiroth exact look-a-like! Woo Hoo. Dont ask where I got it. Look in Google, you'll find something. Others I found were Sailor Moon, Liquid snake, A crappy homer simpson and other popular TV/ video game personalities.

Cars! you want your sim to have a car? well look on google, dont ask me. I have a Ferrari, "Skyline" type thing. Other things I have include Swords, Dragon stuff, Stereos, new seats etc. NB: Cars cannot be driven, only washed, for now

Well that all I can think of for making The Sime® more fun for now. Until next time!

[TheDogWho]

I made 'Neo' from 'The Matrix' using Sims 2 Body Shop.
PM me your email and I'll send ye t3h N30.

[Mycarayne]

Thanks man. Does anyone elso know of any cool skins? I have sephiroth, thedogwho has a neo one. Heh, anyone have tidus. Oh, that reminds me, I made a yuna one, It aint to great, but still looks very close

[Valistrix]

Where can you get them from? I really want some.

[Mycarayne]

one word: google. That thing can find a needle in a haystack. Type in FFX Sims skins of something close to that and you should get a page were you can download them.

Thank you very much MR, now I can try and get a Tidus skin.

[Mycarayne]

Beleave me, it aint easy though. I still havent found one, but i didn't look for long, so There should be one out there... somewhere...

[Issac_Zero2]

I just love the sims becuase the things you can do are nearly limitless...
That is also why I like the PC versions better becuase you can download new stuff...

[DarkDiablo113]

the sims are the best real life interacvtive game i have ever played on ne game system.u can make ur character do ne thing in the game i made my character sleep with a guy and have him cheat on a gurl wen he already has a gurlfriend.it was hilarious. ne body who likes these kinds of things,u should get this game

[Someone Else]

EXTREME Bumpesh.

Does anybody have the University and Nightlife expansions for the Sims 2? Are they worth getting at all?

[Golden Djinn13]

Personally, I would get Nightlife. I read that its pretty good.

Since my computer sucks so bad, Im getting it for the systems. I loved Bustin Out, though.

[Mallick]

GD13 took the words from my mouth. University is SO not worth it. Nightlife isn't that great either. v_v

[TheEnglishman]

I haven't played on the sims for ages! For some reason I just stopped. My sister really likes the sims though. Unfortunately for her she can't play it as its on our computer and she is off at university!

[Someone Else]

I got into the Sims 2 again. Now I want some expansions because frankly, Sims 2 by itself is bland after you played it for a few weeks in the past.

Right now, I'm definitely getting Seasons, no doubts. I'm also looking at Nightlife; gotta have cars and restaurants. Going to community lots in the core Sims 2 sort of sucks, since time stops at your house but still goes on in the lot that you're at, which makes your Sim still get hungry and tired and such. By the time you get home, it could still be morning and your Sim would be really tired and hungry... stupid eh? Actually, community lots in general kind of sucked. Hopefully Nightlife will fix that with restaurants so at least, your Sim won't be hungry by the time they get home, and with the new items specifically for community lots.

I'm not made of money (still saving for a Wii AND a TV!) so later I might get Pets. I can live without University. Not everybody liked it. Maybe I'll ask for it at Christmas and get it free. Mwahaha. The Stuff packs can be stuffed up my ass. Maxis won't have my money so easily.

I want opinions! By the way, this belongs in Other Games, not computer games.

[My Best Wishes]

Just download the fricking expansions. I remember my brother bought them all at the market for $5 each.

I reckon the Sims is kinda gay...

[Someone Else]

The Sims isn't ***. You can create a house-full of hot, scantily clad female roomies and make them have lesbian sex with each other.

As for downloading them, I tried. Every time, I would scan it before running it it would just be a virus. I'd love to hear where I can buy cheap.

[My Best Wishes]

As I said my brother just went to the local market and bought them $5 a pop. Fake of course. Tried eBay, Amazon?

[Someone Else]

Amazon does have some decent deals for the expansion packs, last time I checked, I think I could get about 5 dollars off. I'm going to go out to some stores and see what I can get there, since I'm pretty impatient with shipping. Best Buy has never let me down when it comes to buying PC games so far.

[Folcon]

I used to play the Sims, the original, not 2. But I stopped after a while because to be too slow on my computer, so I dumped it. With luck, my new computer will be able to support it. Or would you recomend getting Sims 2 instead and throwing out the old games.

[Someone Else]

Haven't played the first, but Sims 2 adds a lot of features on the 1st game. Also 3D, being able to see your Sims up close and personal makes them feel more real.

[Someone Else]

So I put Seasons in. It's pretty cool. The next thing that I'd like to see in the Sims universe builds off of Seasons. I'd like an actual calendar. I want more than just Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc., I want months with holidays. Each month could actually just equal one week, because if months were actually a full four weeks that would make gameplay a little weird, because your Sims would have to live a lot longer for it to make sense... (otherwise a Sim might experience Christmas as a child, but die of old age before it was Christmas again) but that's just me.

[Golden Djinn13]

Having a calender worked into the game would be awkward with having Sims live longer, but then again aging was awkward when it was introduced.

On a side note, I can't wait till the new expansion next month, even though it will almost be like a re-make of Sims: Vacation. I just hope its the best out of the other expansions.
