The Sims 3: What Do You Think?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm very happy to see a discussion on the game. It's the only one that I am able to play successfully.

About buying a used copy of a Sims game-I would not recommend it because the owner probably registered the game, and EA will not allow anyone to use the registration number more than once. As the last person mentioned that will not allow you to access anything from the Sims 3 website which will include patches. However, if the seller does indicate that the cellophane wrapper is still in tact you wouldn't have any problems.

Does anyone from here upload any thing to the Exchange like houses or patterns? I feel kind of inept because I can't figure out how to use that new EA program to create a pattern. Have you tried it and succeeded?

One more thing. Usually when I read messages from the forum I feel like they are written by NTs who are members of a clique. Have you gotten that feeling as well? Sometimes it seems as though I still have not matured above the age of 8. If I did none of this would bother me. It's nice to know that I can be honest, be myself and not have to worry about anyone criticizing what I say. What a wonderful website!

Even thought I'm an avid simmer, sims3 really dissapointed me!

They're really going backwards, graphics sucked! Even though you can follow your sims around town, detail in graphics is no better! When sims go into cars, they just "vanish", no door opening and stuff!

I'm sticking to The Sims 2, a real classic!

I am kind of surprised that you feel that way.

With the Sims 1 and the Sims 2 I found it very difficult for my "friends" to get a promotion on their jobs because there just wasn't enough time to make friends and raise skill levels. Even they had friends it was nearly impossible to maintain them. They had to be called every day. It sounds as though there weren't any autistic Sims in the games. All of them were NTs. We all know that's not right. How can anyone have a society without non-NTS! Impossible!

I used to use the money cheat constantly. Now I have not used any cheats to progress in the game. But what I have done is download houses that include money trees. A long time ago I found a starter house with 4 of them. Even if the Sim doesn't live in a house with these trees he/she can go to one and pick the money bags. That will also increase their gardening skills.

Are you on the Sims 3 website? My screen name is ireneruthyablon. If you have a chance take a look at my studio page. I think some of things look pretty good. I wish I was able to build houses.

I found it that I have to play handicap to make the game interesting. There are plenty of gamebreakers that make things too easy.

I LOVE The Sims. I spend like 2 hours playing it every day. It's so much fun!

I Sim, therefore I am.

I love The Sims.

I was addicted to Sims 2 last summer, and then I bought number 3. It's fantastic! I can create my own little world, with the perfect people, create dream houses .e.t.c.

My only peeve with the game is that I found out the cheat, which just ruins it for me...it ruins the mystery of it

Bought it, played it, got bored with it. Now that the game is vastly improved over The Sims 2 and there are no more imperfections, it's not that interesting anymore.
