The Sims

I love The Sims. I have 1, 2 and 3 installed on my computer, although I don't play 1 at all. I'm getting to like Sims 3 more since they made it easier to use Custom Content, but I still love Sims 2.

I have also managed to adapt Sims 3 more to my style of play - which is to have a neighbourhood full of nothing but Anime and Gaming characters then watch to see what they get up to.

So what about the rest of you? How do you play your game?

Whenever I describe how I play Sims I always end up getting terrified looks from my friends and family. My current project in Sims 3 is a man who is going to max out every skill possible. He's going to become the best possible Sim. And then I'm trying to get a ghost of every colour as well as a wide selection of children to choose from to be his heir. So basically I'm having him kidnap random women (through the use of cheats), bring them home and have a baby with them (or triplets), and then kill them off in various ways and set up a graveyard in my front yard. The children I don't need get automatically aged up into teenagers (through cheats) in order to become slaves and do all the housework.

I do have some normal families though. But I haven't played in a while because I loaded the game one day and suddenly my 3 generation, celebrity, incredibly wealthy family all left the house, got in a taxi, and drove away, never to be seen again. My friend thinks they found out what I was doing with the other guy and fled from me in terror.

I love the Sims3! My friend got me hooked on it! I have gone through a few families. I currently have a 2 parent 6 kid family. They are mega wealth. I am LOVING Hidden Springs as a town, it has many different sized plots, different venues to buy. Really am enjoying it.

I've been playing Sims since the days of Sims 1! I had almost all the EPs for Sims 1 too. During the Sims 2 era, I owned all of those EPs. And now I am a fervent player of Sims 3, with all the EPs out so far. Sadly, I haven't played a whole lot lately, but when I do I love doing different sorts of challenges, especially legacies. I love playing a single family through the ages, marrying them off and making them have babies. Love teh babiez! XD

I love the Sims so much. I used to love Sims 2 but I've gone off it a bit since Sims 3 came out... the whole open neighbourhood thing makes it more appealing to me. Idk why.

I like telling stories on the Sims and making movies, although I'm yet to successfully complete anything -_-

I can't wait for Sims 3 Pets. The demo borked my game though :(

I play like you Nightfoot xD

Now I'm on The Sims 3 but I miss the Sims 2, I wanna kill my sims by codes again >

Addicted to Sims 3, mostly because for some reason my computer won't run any other versions... lol it barely runs 3. I'm also on Sims Social on Facebook. Kind of lame compared to the legit version, but it's nice for a quick Sims experience without getting sucked in for hours at a time (Please tell me I'm not the only one that happens to! XD).

Oh I get sucked in so fast!

I actually tend to go through phases where I don't play for a while because I do get sucked in and I won't have that much time to play at once.

I'm really looking forward to Pets, though. That was always my favorite expansion. Now I just have to see if I have the money for it after I get all my NaNo gear :D

I still play Sims 2 the most, actually xD I had so much custom content on it, that the whole game was tailored to exactly how I like it. I just don't have the energy to try and do that all over again for Sims 3.

I keep trying to do legacies, but get distracted too easily. I just like making and decorating tiny houses for couples (and then have all the furniture messed up when they have babies)

I find there is so much do to in Sims3 that time just gets away from me. Especially love designing my house.

I am a Sims addict! I play sims 2 on my laptop for hours. I am almost more of a designer than a player. I spend ages working on the right setting for stuff. I have most EP's though don't use all of them as my laptop seems to struggle when I do. At the moment just using Sims 2 and University,

I use a lot of costum content and make stories that I post online because I just have nothing better to do,

Oh god, SIMS!

I love Sims 2! I can't play it at the moment though because the computer's out of action! Perhaps that's a good thing cos I won't want to be distracted next month. I dislike Sims 3 though - especially babies and toddlers.

I keep being drawn back to it after days of "rehab", I come up with something else and I want to make/create/play it

Sims!

I am a firm Sims 2 player, have been since it first came out. I have played on 3, but it just didn't capture my attention like Sims 2 has. Though, my CD is in a hiding place until Jan at the earliest, lest I get too caught up in it and not make my NaNo target next month!

I have Sims 1 Complete Collection and Sims 2 with all expansion and stuff packs, but I haven't gotten 3. (It doesn't look that good to me, and the bug reports I've seen? Oof!)

I play heavily themed neighborhoods. I use almost no Maxis content in either game, and I hoard my Sims 1 downloads because most of the sites are long-since closed. (The last time I checked, Comhair, Persimmon Grove, and Parsimonious are still open, and I was able to get SimGoth stuff through the Internet Archive.) I do have a neighborhood for my novel series, which is non-modern. I also have a few other themes. The one theme I seem to be lacking is a normal, modern, realistic, mainstream neighborhood. (Too boring! Cannot play!)

Is anyone going to force their Sims 2 Sims to write a novel during NaNoWriMo? (SimNoWriMo?)

I check back and the site destroyed my post ):
Ah well, what that post was MEANT to say was this:
I love combining Sims with writing, as it really helps if you're in a pinch. Can't think of a good appearance for your character? Make them on Sims. Introduced a new character, but don't know a good basic personality for them? Hit the randomize button in Create-A-Sims. Don't know what a character wants in life? Look at their wishes. Want to plan out your character's house for reference? Make it on Sims!

Sims 3 can be wonderful when used with writing. It sure helps me sometimes.

Oh, I love the Sims! I have only played the 3rd one, which I own, but it is incredibly addicting. I find I don't play the game as much as I design characters. One actually became the main protagonist in a novel I am writing with my boyfriend, which we are very close to finishing and possibly publishing! :3 I also love making houses. <3 Such a good game!

I'm so looking forward to the Sims 3 Pets! They've got HORSES AND CHINCHILLAS! How could anyone not be excited for it? It's marked on my calendar for Tuesday. I'm on a Sims obsession right now. :) Apparently the infamous Womrat returns and is vaccinated from the deadly Guinea Pig disease again. Can't wait!
