Title: The Sims 2 Thread!!
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on January 06, 2008, 11:54:22 PM
Post any stuff related to Sims 2 here!

- Your favourite families
- Your favourite Sims
- What you like the most about playing Sims (Building houses? Making babies?)
- Random ideas for gaming
- Your favourite expansion packs/recommendations
- ... Anything!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone who goes to our IRC channel knows I'm hooked on Sims 2. :lol:

The problem with my gaming right now is that I've got too many ideas and not enough time to play them.
For example, I'm playing 4 neighbourhoods: Strangetown, Reality Sim, Legacy Town, and Kingdom of Farlasca (lol@name)

In Strangetown I made a huge family for Vidcund Curious (who already passed away, old age), and I'd have so many families to play there, all because Vidcund's family ended up having 6 kids and most of them have got their own families now. I've also got a new family there with 4 kids that I really like. PICTURE (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/quickfam.jpg)

The Reality Sim is for all kinds of random families. It was supposed to be the neighbourhood where I run all the sim stuff that is inspired by reality shows, for example, I had a "Sim Brother" house there. XD And after "the show", most of the contestants moved into their own houses. I've had the best drama yet in this neighbourhood, but it's a bit all over the place. I'd still like to make The Bachelor/The Bachelorette here before I destroy this town. :lol:

Legacy Town is for my legacy challenge, the Other family:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/quickother.jpg)
The mom was called Zandra; the daughters are Yunni and Yonna; and the babies are Xander and Xavier. I remember cuz I started going alphabets backwards. :lol: The dads' names are random, though. I hate it that neither of those babies has blue skintone or even their mom's eye colour. Grr. I'll have to push out more babies than I at first planned.

I started Kingdom of Farlasca today. It's loosely based on a Royal Kingdom challenge (http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=312989). In my game all the families and their houses will be modern, but the class separation is the same as hundreds of years ago (royalty, nobles, merchants, peasants; there are strict rules about who they can marry and such).

I've happened to upload (cwappy) pics of all the Farlasca families, so what the heck:
King and Queen (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_f48d7d35.jpg) (before doing anything else, I'll have to get these two married... grr)
Noble family #1 (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d85d5_f48d85d6.jpg) (the mom is a romance sim, so I'm hoping to see some cheating :twisted: )
Noble family #2 (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d89c6_548d89c7.jpg) (these two are so cute, I love them already)
Noble family #3 (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_f48d8e0d_d48d8e0e.jpg)
Merchant family #1 (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_148d911b_548d911c.jpg)
Merchant family #2 (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d947e_d48d947f.jpg) (I love this family's looks)
Peasant family #1 (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_d48d9abe_948d9abf.jpg) (this will be the "what birth control?" family... Lots of kids and.. That boy, I swear he looks so evil, so I gave him a grouchy personality to go with it... Ah I need to take better pics)
Peasant family #2 (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d9dd2_948d9dd3.jpg) (another cute couple I wub)
Peasant family #3 (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_348da0c0_948da0c1.jpg)
+ I didn't add yet my 'narrator' sim there...
It took ages to make all these families, I dunno when I'll be able to start properly playing them!! :lol:

Anyway this post is way too long...

But now I have a place where to post all my sims pics... BUAHAHAH be afraid...

Ahh the Sims and Sims 2. My all time favorite games. The first time I saw the Sims back in 2000, I seriously fell in love with the game, I wanted to get it and play it. I really get lost in the sim world with the families' stories and all that.  I'll probably edit this post later, cuz I have more stuff I wanna say but can't now

w00t sim talk

This "Kingdom of Farlasca" thing is taking ages. I haven't even been able to properly start playing yet. :lol: I've been just furnishing the houses and getting the families to settle in (which means playing them for just a couple of sim hours, not a full day), and even then, I've only been able to do the royal family and nobles so far. I wonder if I'll have the patience to really get this thing going, but I'll try. :D

I wub this noble couple though, they're so cute T__T :heart: Well, family sims are always lovely.

I haven't been able to play Sims 2 in soooooo long because my neighbor broke the screen on the laptop with the sims!!! :angry:
I don't want to upload it on another laptop cuz they are really good, and also, it would suck so much to loose all those familes and stories I worked so hard on. :(  I'm still looking for a repair of the screen..

That Royal family challenge looks fun to do. That's probably keeping you busy

I want start playing again so I can get sims 2 pets! damn, I loved the first sims pets game, and I know sims 2 pets has to be awesome. I even have made up in my mind which animals I would put with certain families.

I hope you get your game up and running again soon!! :O

Ok, this is probably going to be long. :lol: Just introducing my Kingdom of Farlasca habitants better!

Remember though that I'm not even trying to make them look like people from an era in the past, even if it's much encouraged in the challenge rules :D

Arthur Royal (the King)
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d7d34_548d817e.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_548d817e.jpg)
A likeable old man. Managed to get some nobles angry at him when he changed the taxation system so that people with more fortune must pay more. Is the official "telescope cop"; if somebody spies on the royal home, he runs over to give them a huge lecture. But still, most people like him.

Christine Royal (the Queen)
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d7d34_548d8165.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_548d8165.jpg)
The Queen's favourite hobby is dancing to piano music. She lives a very secret life, for she barely ever leaves the royal home. She's expecting a baby and I can't wait to see if it's a Prince or a Princess :3

The Nobles

Harold Brahvir
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d85d5_948ef9ff.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d85d5_948ef9ff.jpg)
A career-driven man. Cares about his family more than he lets on.

Suzanne Brahvir
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d85d5_b497ddd9.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d85d5_b497ddd9.jpg)
A romance sim. She can't wait for their son to get a bit older so that she can concentrate on 'meeting more people' and 'having fun with them'. Wasn't really meant to be a mother, but it was expected of her so what can ye do.

Charles Brahvir
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d85d5_749bb4e2.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d85d5_749bb4e2.jpg)
The future heir of the Brahvir family. He's just a little bundle of noise so far.

Sven Ulur
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d89c6_7499227a.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d89c6_7499227a.jpg)
A man with a big stomach and a big heart. A lovely sim. He's going to be such a good daddy. :heart: 

Cassie Ulur
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d89c6_34991fea.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d89c6_34991fea.jpg)
A lovely sim, just like her husband. Can't wait for their baby to pop out. :heart: I just needed at least one really cute couple like this :D

Rachael Dione
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d7d34_d49ac13e.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_d49ac13e.jpg)
Hobbies are stealing the King's newspaper and kicking down his trashcan. Well, until she's not angry with him anymore. :lol:

Lee Dione
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_f48d8e0d_349bc4f0.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_f48d8e0d_349bc4f0.jpg)
No story for him yet. He's in good terms with the King.

Evelyn Dione
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_f48d8e0d_949bc672.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_f48d8e0d_949bc672.jpg)
The little bundle of joy. She looks like she might grow up to be kind of interesting looking.

The Merchants

Lauren Oston
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_148d911b_f4950ece.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_148d911b_f4950ece.jpg)
I love this picture because it looks like she has an obvious gap between her front teeth. I never realized that sims could have different kinds of teeth (can they??) Definitely not one of my prettier sims, but I wasn't even going for pretty with all of them.

Cezar Oston
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_148d911b_f4950f7a.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_148d911b_f4950f7a.jpg)
Omg. I find this sim hot. Is it because he's an asshole who cheats at playing chess? Or is it because he's a Knowledge sim? Nobody knows, but I enjoy playing this family a lot because of him.

Peter Sells
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d947e_149d0999.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d947e_149d0999.jpg)
Peter and his ginger body. I dunno, I don't actually like this guy a whole lot. Maybe he's just too obsessed with money. I love his huge pointy jaw, though.

Harriet Sells
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d947e_5495166d.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d947e_5495166d.jpg)
Cute, but boring so far. Needs to get preggers.

John Sells
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d947e_149937af.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d947e_149937af.jpg)
Lookswise probably one of my favourite kids ever. It's not like he's super pretty, but he's just fun to look at, and I love taking pics of him.

The Peasants

Gerard Johnson
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_348da0c0_149a5dff.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_348da0c0_149a5dff.jpg)
Isn't he sexy? JUST KIDDING. Hardworking but a bit daft guy, genuine and kind-hearted. May look scary, but has the heart of gold.

Elsa Johnson
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_348da0c0_f49a5f07.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_348da0c0_f49a5f07.jpg)
Isn't she sexy? Ok ok still kidding. But how can you not love Elsa. She's also a bit of a daft, but she's gonna love their baby so much.

Harrison Wood
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_d48d9abe_d49d18cc.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_d48d9abe_d49d18cc.jpg)
Poor guy works so hard and smells so bad after work. I love his look ROFL, I just look at him and can't help but smile a little.

Wanda Wood
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_348da0c0_34951bd1.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_348da0c0_34951bd1.jpg)
Mother of two with a third one on the way. I dunno how she's going to handle that AND go to work.

Gunster Wood
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_d48d9abe_54951dae.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_d48d9abe_54951dae.jpg)
Doesn't he look evil?? Ah what a disappointment. He was supposed to be my nightmare of a kid, but instead he just quietly lives his life and cleans up after him. I hope he gets meaner once he grows up. lol

Gillian Wood
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_d48d9abe_74951efd.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_d48d9abe_74951efd.jpg)
Poor Gillian, the only teen in town with nobody to marry. She'll have to get someone from outside Farlasca.

Vince & Betsy Tuller
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d9dd2_34952225.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d9dd2_34952225.jpg)
Couldn't find good pics of them, unfortunately. Well, they're quite a normal couple, actually. I think it's starting to show that I really don't have a 'story' yet for most of the families :lol: They'll come eventually...

Ren Tuller
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d9dd2_3495217b.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d9dd2_3495217b.jpg)
Also one of my favourite kids ever. I love it that he got his mother's piggy nose. Isn't it cute? XD But he's a bit of an ass.

Colin Muffins
(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_74952445_d4952802.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_74952445_d4952802.jpg)
Colin is an outsider who has moved into Farlasca... I've barely played him so far, I'm saving him for future needs. But he's automatically regarded as a peasant because of his blonde hair.

----

I play each family 1 sim day at a time and then move on to the next. This way the whole neighbourhood can progress at the same time (except for Colin Muffins). It's a fun way of playing and I wish I had figured it out sooner. :lol:

Is anyone good at making sims from real people? I'm not good at it, and I'd love to find someone who can make sims of Kei Yasuda and Atsuko Inaba if possible.^^

Love, Charmy
Title: Re: The Sims 2 Thread!!
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on January 29, 2008, 09:57:13 PM
Sorry Charmy, I absolutely suck at making sims from real people T_T. Tried it a few times (even tried to do Rika) and it was just no good... Hehe!


Ok, I was going to post some caps from Kingdom of Farlasca every time I finished a "cycle" (playing each family 1 sim day at a time). But I forgot, so I've got stuff from more than just one cycle. Not that it really matters, so on to the caps!!

The Royal Family

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d7d34_f4a64e73.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_f4a64e73.jpg)

What better way to start than with a lovely pic of our cute king.

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d85d5_94a6545c.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d85d5_94a6545c.jpg)

The Queen got a new dress and enjoyed a drink at Brahvir's house. Hmmm!!

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d7d34_d4a8cdf8.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_d4a8cdf8.jpg)

Well, it was a Princess, not a Prince, and she grew up into a toddler already! Meet Princess Lucia. I can't change her hairstyle without downloading a modified mirror, so she'll be stuck looking like a boy until she grows up again.

The Brahvir Family

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d85d5_94a66024.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d85d5_94a66024.jpg)

Suzanne :heart: She's done nothing slutty so far :( I'm looking forward to that. Suzanne is like one of my favourites in this neighbourhood.

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d85d5_34aa224a.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d85d5_34aa224a.jpg)

Charles has grown up into a kid, and a rather cute one. He might be the one to marry Princess Lucia in the future. We'll see.

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d85d5_f4aa281c.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d85d5_f4aa281c.jpg)

The Brahvir family finally hired a maid and lo behold!! It's my very favourite one, Remington Hill! No, I don't usually remember the names of maids (they just come around to clean stuff), but something's really likeable about this guy! I want Suzanne to have an affair with him. Keke.

The Ulur Family

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d89c6_b4aa2a51.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d89c6_b4aa2a51.jpg)

My most favouritest cute couple had their first baby.

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d89c6_14aa2caf.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d89c6_14aa2caf.jpg)

Cassie has class and passes some gas. YEAH!

The Dione Family

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_f48d8e0d_34a66be4.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_f48d8e0d_34a66be4.jpg)

Aww, what a cute family pic. Mom Rachael helping Evelyn with homework while dad Lee is making her bed.

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_f48d8e0d_d4a66fbb.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_f48d8e0d_d4a66fbb.jpg)

Evelyn also grew up and got a new dress. Whee!

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_f48d8e0d_54aa34ed.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_f48d8e0d_54aa34ed.jpg)

A small makeover for mom Rachael, too.

The Oston Family

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_148d911b_b4a77898.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_148d911b_b4a77898.jpg)

Things can get kinda heated sometimes in sim world. Well, I've tried and tried to have a baby with this couple, but they seem to be cursed! They've woohood now probably 6 or so times, and no pregnancy.

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_148d911b_d4aa399d.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_148d911b_d4aa399d.jpg)

I love it that Lauren has an obvious gap between her front teeth. :lol: It totally fits her look.

The Sells Family

They're expecting a baby, but no interesting pics of that.

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_948d947e_14abb178.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_948d947e_14abb178.jpg)

John finally baked whatever that is without burning it. LOL!

The Johnson Family

Aww no pics. They had a baby who grew up into a toddler, but she's so ugly (because of the skintone she has) that I'm not gonna post a pic for now. :lol:

The Wood Family

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_d48d9abe_14a8c528.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_d48d9abe_14a8c528.jpg)

Omg, another baby! This is Brittany. Has the same bad skintone as the girl in Johnson family. But it makes them look so horrible, it totally fits the whole 'peasant' theme. :D

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_d48d9abe_b4abc8b9.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_d48d9abe_b4abc8b9.jpg)

Sometimes the game surprises me with cute moments~ The siblings all together. Gillian and Gunster hugging each other in front of the baby ^_^

The Tuller Family

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d9dd2_74a8bb42.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d9dd2_74a8bb42.jpg)

Ren was so happy about his first A+ that he couldn't wait for his dad to finish peeing.

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d9dd2_74abbd9a.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d9dd2_74abbd9a.jpg)

...And a random pic of Ren giving a phone call. Cute kids :heart:

uwahh! Wtf, my posts are always a mile long!!
Title: Re: The Sims 2 Thread!!
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on February 14, 2008, 07:54:25 PM
LOL it's me again

This time posting pics of people in my Sim Bachelor house!

Two of them already got the boot.

This is Jayne, first one out - didn't connect with the guy~~
 (http://www.imgur.com/files/0214/Th.snapshot_d4bf5eb3_94bf602d.jpg) (http://www.imgur.com/i.php?i=0214/snapshot_d4bf5eb3_94bf602d.jpg)

Calista - she wasn't really getting on with the bachelor, but I let her stay longer than Jayne cuz at least she tried. XD She ended up in situations where she'd be chatting with him all the time (I wasn't controlling the game at that point), but they just got -!!

Except for the new character customizations, it doesn't look all that different. Right now, I still like/prefer the character looks in the Sims 2.  And it looks like you're able to go exploring with your sims in the big towns/cities now, hmm.

It's been ages since I last babbled about my sims so... :3

I'm too lazy to cover everything that's happened since (LOL) so I'll just post about what each family is up to right now...

The Royal Family:

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d7d34_f4d5a17e.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_f4d5a17e.jpg)

The prince was born. His name is Lucas and he's getting major love and attention from the King and the Queen. King's kinda close to dying, he's old.

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_b48d7d34_d4d0a0b5.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_d4d0a0b5.jpg)

Lucia, the princess, is now a kid. She has an unfortunate nose (looks good from the front but not the side)

The Brahvir Family:

Charles is now a cute teen. :3

Suzanne is having an affair with the maid. :heart: YEA SUZANNE GO-GO!

The Ulur Family:

Winona, the daughter, and her dad look very much alike... Cassie is expecting their 2nd child. whoo

Thomas. It's funny that they kinda have the same facial features, but look completely different because of the different skintone...

(http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_148d911b_b4dda8cb.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_148d911b_b4dda8cb.jpg)

The Sells Family:

And here's just John as a teen, burning his food.

The Johnson Family:

Yup, Donnie's birth. I think those kids were traumatized for life. Donnie is an ugly baby, so no pics. XD

The Wood Family:

The first proper details have emerged of The Sims 3, which EA says is designed to appeal to hardcore gamers as well as casual players.

As reported in the latest edition of PC Gamer magazine, key additions include buff and inventory systems. The former temporarily gives your Sim positive or negative attributes based on how your they're feeling. This allows EA to move away from the six things that previously dictated the mood of a Sim.

You could be on top of the moon after eloping with your rather attractive wife, for instance, which will consequently make you work more productively and befriend more people.

The inventory system, on the other hand, lets you store objects for completing certain tasks. You might have to walk to the shop to get some ingredients to cook a meal. Brilliant.

The Sims 3 will be without a multiplayer mode for the time being, but you will be able to upload your Sims to the official website where fellow dabblers can download them and use them to populate their neighbourhood.

Sims will look more realistic - expect more natural skin and better animations - and there will be sliders for things like weight and musculature to keep everything varied.

The world will be less structured. You'll have much more freedom to wander about and build things. This will be echoed in the unconfirmed but inevitable expansion packs.

"The fact that it's a seamless world means that eventually - not to give away too much of our expansion pack strategy, but in theory - The Sims 3 could expand into an entire seamless world," suggested producer Rod Humble. "You can imagine a Sims country which you could just live your life in."

A release date for The Sims 3 has yet to be announced.

Yeah So I've been really into the sims lately as the people in the Irc know. So I made some Sim people!!

First off here's the gang. From left to right : Shi, HIME, Daisu, Hakai, Tama, and Meowchi in the middle

(http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/6365/snapshot34e936a154e936azd7.jpg)

This one is Daisu-sim

This is a pic of HIME-Sim and Meowchi ... Lol

Here's Hakai-sim

(http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/3264/snapshot34e936a1b4ea474cj1.jpg)

and lastly Tama-sim

(http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/6929/snapshot34e936a1d4ea477ss6.jpg)


They all seem to get along well, Tama-sim likes to gamble away the houses money. Shi-sim loves the computer. Hakai-sim spends most of the time painting, Daisu-sim spends most of her time studying, and HIME-sim is like devoted to meowchi. Well i'll give further updates when i play them more.

I really do miss it :cry:

I'm psyched for the Sims 3 now.  I like that each sim will be a truly unique person.  Even though I didn't like it at first, I really like the character customizations.

Post by: sweeety on July 12, 2008, 04:43:53 PM
Dunno if this goes here but... I got the Sims 2 Castaways :D and I got it for PSP. IT's awesome! The only downside I guess is not being able to take pics and stuff but it makes up for it with the awesome gameplay and really interesting storyline :) And I made some maad jungle threads you dig?

 Anyway we all know how it goes... shipwrecked, deserted island, find a way out, the usual "lost" scenario. The thing about this is, you can go about it alone or with shipmates. The thing that kinda sucks though is when you get off the island it's kinda the end and you have to start all over again.. and I don't think you can have kids there and teach them the way of the monkey thus building a whole civilisation of half monkey humans when you finally run out of sims you can mate with..... that would be pretty freaky.. but I always think ahead XD

 I'm only been stuck on this island a few days and unlike that awesome story Unmei there is no Miki to my Yoshi... or to be exact, Yuko XD

 Well.. I started off on the first island and it was all well and good except I suck at the fishing (spear fishing) mini game. Therefore finding food was kinda hard... except for measly snacks and such and to make matters worse, i had trouble with the missions too! I reckon without the aid of cheats (but using some form of guide) it would take about 30-50 hours at the least to finish the game as you dont only have to worry about finding food and resources in this game as you have to worry about the daily functions of humans as well. So instead of being like this game called stranded I found myself playing a sims game through and through.

 The only things that suck are that just like any other sims game, you have to plan your time well to progress. That's if you want off the island. Also I gave up on lil Yuko as I don't think she can make it on her own.. so I made a different group; the Blegens to see if it would take them less time to get off the island.

 Then I found out you can only start out with one member and had to work to get the rest... so lil girl whose name I forgot, other girl whose name I forgot but think might be Chris and other dude whose name I forgot (can you believe it? forgetting all their names at the same time! XD) have to wait for lil Mic Blegen to accomplish some mission or something.

 I think I find one on the second island somewhere. the other probably on the third and I'm guessing the last is on some secret place either on the second or third island.... who knows?

 Well, either way, this is a great game, whether you wanna worry about controlling one sim or 5 ( I think the max is 6 ... or 8) I think you will still have fun. I certainly did. Lol, check out their mad dancing skillz when they find the old radio XD it's awesome! And build the other music instruments XD it's soo funny! So far I only made those thingies that you shake ... Shakers I think they're called.. and they crack me up! XD But yeah this game is good, check it out.

Post by: sweeety on July 16, 2008, 05:32:57 PM
my lil sims chronology

sims fan since about 1999. Ever since I saw a four page spread about them on a maagzine. I wanted to get that game soooo bad. But being that year ccccccccomputers were not built to play it yet. I begged my mummy to get it for me but she wouldn't. I would read said magazine article almost everyday and cry my little eyes out cause my mean bully bro would make fun of my obssesion and my mum wouldn't buy me the game. And because it wouldn't play in our computer, which was as old as computers get. So old it didn't have internet... it didn't even know what internet was!

 Then 2004ish. I get my hands on my firsts copy of the sims. I got the normal sims, just that. I got it free with four pizzas. It was an awesome deal and I capitalised on deals like this many a time before. Like my copy of PCCCCCC yatzee, cluedo etc. anyway the point is, I got it and was the happiest little muggle on the planet. Too bad my computer was still too crappy to play it.

 2006? around then. I got the sims fullhouse. I was so ecstatic after getting it for Christmass. I was smiling from ear to ear. Untill someone broke the bad news that my computer couldn't hold all the expansions on it :(...

 so I settled for only a few at a time. Ecept some of them don't fuckin work so I get angry everytime i think about it.

 What was the year Sims 2 acme out? I went out and bought one of the first copies sold in Australia when it first came out.... I paid $80 and got the Sims 2 and was the happiest kid in the world. Untill -can you guess it??- I found out my PC can't play it...........

 Deeply depressed I had all but given up on the sims. I even installed it on my bro's laptop but when he found out he skinned me @_@ I was grounded for a month. And it played really slowly......

 Anyway, the point is, even thouhg I have a lot of sims games and expansions... I can't bloody play em and it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The create-a-sim is looking fantastic!  I'm hoping to get my laptop screen fixed for this game.  I found a good repair place, so yeah. 

I wonder what their expansions are gonna be like.  I'm hoping pets will already be in the game. Cuz it kinda pissed me off that I had been waiting for Sims 2 pets, and when it finally came out, my laptop screen had already been broken.. lol

XD

Thought I'd post my Legacy challenge family tree as of now:

 (http://www.imgur.com/files/080816/Th.Cream.jpg) (http://www.imgur.com/i.php?i=080816/Cream.jpg)

(No, I don't take naming my sims seriously)
Chamomile is about to grow up though (time to get those babies poppin!), so it's going to be outdated soon. lol

I'll probably post pics of all the Farlasca family trees after I finish the current cycle. The parents are all becoming elders during this cycle, so that's why it'd be "useless" to post them now. XD

Custom downloads. lol I just download stuff and stick it in the Downloads folder. I also use custom replacements for skin tones, eyebrows and eyes. They override the Maxis ones, so even townies look a bit more decent. It took ages to find ones I found perfect, though x_O

Downloads aren't good if your game is already slow, though! The more downloads you have, the more time it takes for the game to load. But I don't really have that problem.

I promised Farlasca family trees, so here they are... (See the pics on page 1 to see what they looked like in the beginning)

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/almond.jpg)
Almonds were actually late addition to Farlasca, so you won't find them on p. 1. Michelle is one of the prettiest Sims I've had, and I've got a soft spot for Victor.

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/royal.jpg)
The King died of old age; the Queen is now an elder; princess Lucia has got married and moved away; and prince Lucas is a teen. Lucia turned out to be beautiful :3

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/brahvir.jpg)
Harold aged and is one of the best looking elders I've had. He just looks like he was meant to be an elder. His eyes are much kinder now. Reminds me of Santa Claus. :lol: Suzanne's not an elder yet because I gave her the Elixir of Life... I wasn't ready to let her age yet. Plus her personality would fit the "scared of getting old" type.
Charles is now an adult and married the princess. Can't wait to see what their babies will look like. Charlotte's going to become a teen soon. I really like her, even if she's not the prettiest sim :3

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/ulur.jpg)
The parents aged. They're still cute. I really like the way that their kids Winona and Wallace have turned out. They look ~different~, or interesting, or something. ^__^

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/dione.jpg)
I love love love Esther; she's the troublemaker of the next generation (like Suzanne is for the previous gen). Her relationship with the Queen is horrible, pure hate, but she's going out with the prince, which means she'll make a daughter-in-law from hell, and future Queen :lol:
Poor Elias, I thought he turned out a bit scary looking.. But still love. It's better than looking like an average boring Maxis sim :3 Also, I think Rachael makes a gorgeous elder. She looks like a doll :heart:

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/oston.jpg)
The 1st family with twins... Their teen years seem neverending. :lol: It's like agh, when are they finally going to grow up?? Anyway, not much to say here. Tobias is going out with Jenn from the Sells family below.

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/sells.jpg)
Well, Harriet had a "pool ladder accident" because I felt that she was spending too much time with her son (it was getting creepy) and I had no storyline for her whatsoever... So she had to go.
Evelyn and John got married, but I fear it's not going to be a happy marriage. John's a romance sim and doesn't want to have kids and all that. Poor Sarah is going to be a bit of an unwanted child: she is not a boy (so she can't be the heir, which means John will have to agree to have at least one more child, which he doesn't want lol), and she is not a redhead like Merchant class is "supposed" to be, she even got her grandma's eyes from noble class. So yeah, I'll try and see what a dramatic storyline I can make for her in my head. :D

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/johnson.jpg)
OMG Elsa looks so horrible as an elder!!! The weird thing is, instead of teeth she has eyeballs in her mouth, I'm not kidding!! It's so creepy and horrible and I have no idea why it happened... But anyway. This family's decided to find the husband for Dolly, the heir (in peasant class girls can be heirs), via matchmaker once she grows up... And because of this they've all been working hard to get 5000 simoleans for Dolly to spend on her birthday.

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/wood.jpg)
I forgot to take pics of the parents as elders, oh well. Gunster had a "running with scissors accident"... I had no storyline for him and he was a romance sim, which didn't fit his looks at all HAHA, so I just got rid of him. Sorry!

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/tuller.jpg)
Hmm I'm not sure if Ren's girlfriend's name is Dagmar... But isn't she pretty :3 Rhonda cracks me up, she's a romance sim but not in an annoying way. To me she gives the vibe of an 'innocent' romance sim, not the cheating kind... And since she's not the heir, the fear of having kids will be no problem.

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/muffins.jpg)
Oh man, this family... Poor Gillian! I wanted her to have a happy life because she was so good to her family as a teen. But she's a romance sim, which always results in trouble in my gameplay. She didn't want to get married, but since she was pregnant, I kind of forced her to get married with Colin. And that sent her into aspiration failure. So next, she got the fear of having a baby, while already pregnant... So of course she had another aspiration failure!!! And if that wasn't enough, she had TWINS.... :lol: Got to love this game. So randomly evil.
Anyway, the twins also turned out to look really WEIRD. I mean hello humongous eyes and non-existant chin Yuuya, and Saaya's nose is too short for her face lol. Not to mention that she inherited her mom's frog eyes. I didn't think that this family would become one of my favourite ones to play, but I like it a lot now. Such random stuff happening, haha.

ANYWAY that was my Kingdom of Farlasca update!!!

LOL! :O

I haven't been playing those families for a while now, so there's nothing to update yet.

I've mostly been concentrating on my Legacy challenge, family tree:

I appreciate your long and detailed comments, sweeety. :lol: They make my sims feel important.

I bet their kids would look awesome..... The thing I hate about the sims is that if you don't get 2 sims with similar facial features etc. you end up with a weird monkey looking baby. It could have like a huuuuge chin or a ginormous nose XD that's why I usually stick with the preset facial structures.....
ROFL that's what I love about sims, the weird monkey looking babies (who sometimes surprisingly turn out to be knock-out hotties)! Speaking of enormous noses, Choco Lee has one...

Dina and Dessa are indeed twins. Can't believe how many sets of twins I've had in this hood. :shocked:

Danone looks like a tranny because of her nose! It's the same giant one that her mom and Choco Lee have. The make-up is for her storyline, because she's supposed to be this girl who wants to grow up fast, so as a result she wears tons of make-up to look older.

Caramelle actually has make-up on now, but I didn't have any newer pics of her face.

Quote
Custard looks deformed.. He looks f***ed up.Kid's got good hair but the face just screams train crash. I'm going to assume you needed him alive for this challenge cause I'd have killed him a loooong time ago.
Poor Custard... I actually really like him. He's different from the others and I just want to give him a huge hug. All he wants is to be liked. Aww. :wub:

Quote
Are count Jeff and Banana and the GP's dead? Is that why they have that weirdish fade?
Yup. All died of old age.

Quote
OMG! Is this like a new gay-jphip-sim neighbourhood?
Omg, no! I'm not that crazy!! Tama's family is in my new hood, Alabumba... Which is going to have all the random families that don't fit anywhere else. :3

Uhhhh

I'm not really the best to answer computer related questions -_-

I can only say how much space they take on the hd. I have Sims 2 Deluxe, Open for Business and Seasons. They seem to take about 5.7GB on D: drive which is where I chose to install the games, and 1.27GB (including downloads) on C: drive which is where it stores the snapshots, downloads, etc. changing game info.

I don't know about ram stuff or anything :/ Plz don't ask me lol

If I don't need to install it, I can download it. So music is safe. (Note to self: SUCK UP TO PARENTS, GET PASSWORD.)

But I like the idea of doing some sort of challenge.

Post by: shirenuファクトリー on January 03, 2009, 02:44:35 PM
Lol oh my

Oh btw I did notice that you were gone, sweeety!!

Anyways, I wouldn't take part in video or custom content making or any of that kind. Way too time consuming! :lol: 

And the problem with me is, I've already got so much stuff going on with sims. I even started another new town recently (!) with 8 families and I haven't had a chance to play more than one family so far. I just moved them all in and let them sit there for now. It's because I'm addicted to Strangetown again, every other town is on halt! :lol:

Anyway, possible challenges? Here (http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=304188) are links to some challenge rules that already exist for inspiration?

The one I've wanted to do for a long time is "dilute the ugly gene" challenge, but never got very far. Sometimes I manage to make ugly sims by accident, anyway. :P

I think a Legacy challenge with a self-sim or another jphip/H!P sim might be fun. But legacy challenges last ~ages~. I'm still not done with the Cream legacy XD

Keeping the right last name is not that complicated btw: you just have to make sure that the sim who proposes engagement/marriage is the one whose last name you want the couple to have. Also their kids will get the mother's last name, so you have to make sure they are married before the child is born if you want the child to have the dad's last name (which is also the mom's last name then, lol).

Stories, I'm not a writer... I've started writing a sim story maybe 3 times and never got further than that one paragraph.

In the end though, I like challenges that have something to do with breeding LOL. Because I always want to see what the kids will look like. That's why I don't often have gay/lesbian sims, because they can't mix genes.

...So basically, I don't think I was helpful at all LOL!!!

For those that don't know yet, I've got back to playing Sims 2!  The laptop on which I play still has a broken screen. , But the thought came to me a week ago that I could hook the laptop up to a computer's monitor, and play from there! I was so angry with myself.  I could have got and played the Sims 2 pets, the expansion I've waitied for since the Sims 2 came out!!

I don't know why this thought came to me after 3 years!  I've been playing for like a week now. I got two of my favorite sims to the top of their careers (Icon in showbiz, Hall of Famer in athletic, ) but that drive for me to play the game is just gone. I guess it's because of Sims 3 that I'm waiting for.

I recommend watching this developer tour video about the Sims 3. Very good  :yep:  //www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgzUq4d78ko

Peggysims for hair http://www.peggyzone.com/ (http://www.peggyzone.com/)
You need to register, but not necessarily pay, they've got lots of free hairstyles.

If you go to Modthesims2, you find downloads and links to other sites in the download posts.

I don't remember the other site names and stuff. You look, you find D:

Here's one of my families from the Sims 3:

                                                                                      The Trapani Family

(http://www.imgur.com/files/090612/screenshot_original.jpg) (http://imgur.com)
      

The one framing the room is the oldest son, Bear (I actually like that as a name, :P ). He's doing that because he has an artistic trait. The traits will reflect the way a sim will act. The guy laughing behind him is his dad, Carmine. And he was actually smiling, and then laughing at him for doing that! It just wasn't a thing that I captured him doing.

(http://www.imgur.com/files/090612/2screenshot_original3.jpg) (http://imgur.com)            
This is Cristiano, the youngest son. One of his traits is the Genius trait.

(http://www.imgur.com/files/090612/screenshot_original1.jpg) (http://imgur.com)
This is Bear and Cris coming back from dinner in town with the family. There are two restaurants. One is a diner, and one is a more fancy place, that makes you dress formally (if you eat inside). The latter is where these two were returning from.

(http://www.imgur.com/files/090612/screenshot_original2.jpg) (http://imgur.com)
This is Sean Trapani, Carmine's. cousin. Not much to say about him. I wanted to make him and his family the main focus of my game, but I got into Carmine's family more.

So, I'm trying to go for mafia thing here. I really hope someone out there will make a mafia career download. I did that with the sims 2, so I really want to continue it with the sims 3. Since 3 is a prequel, maybe I'll make the mafia in this game the predecessors of the mafia I had in the sims 2.

I've been planning a new town for Sims 2 again, where I could put the JPHiP sims I made of Meania, lilcazza and twissie at a moment of boredom!

The place would be called Virmire (thanks to Mass Effect) and all the private lots are to be beach lots.
It's supposed to be a new human colony on a planet, with alien "ambassadors". The aliens dress in human-like clothes on Virmire to respect their culture, lol.
The humans aside from jphip ones are basically sims I've created randomly and don't have any other place for, so I'm sticking them here. Haha

I present Virmire (no houses yet):
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip02775.png)
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip02776.png)

These are the humans and aliens I've created for Virmire so far:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip02774.png)
Karl Ferguson - human
T'Bei and P'Xy - Roosarian. They come from a very colourful culture and they've adopted that into their 'human' style as well. They have eyes of fire.
Suzy Pace - human
Lustig - Duskian. His eyes are entirely black. Lustig loves the human rock'n roll culture and tries to show that in everything. He's supposed to be a lot of fun. No pressure or anything, mate.
JaeKyung Kwon - human
Harrison Doakes - human
0443 & 0445 - Lumme. They are native Virmire people whose numbers have always been few, and are now dwindling; they have genetic diseases that only seem to appear when Lummes breed with each other. Because of this they are very open to alien colonies on their planet. lol. 0443 and 0445 are a very rare case of siblings among their race.
Mugu - Kasvitan. Comes from a culture that's very close to the nature, and his race wouldn't even be space travelling had their people not been discovered by others first. Their sole interest in space travel is actually based on the desire to research new types of plant life, animals, and other living creatures.

ANYWAY

If Ladies Meania, caz and twissie happen to see this, I might like some input ^O^
Would y'all like to be sisters, roommates, or live separately?
Would y'all like to have the same surname, or give your own? (I was gonna name the chars just Meania, Cazz and Twissie with like Rearer as surname, cuz we have the kinship Rear Guard on Lotro ...)
Would you like to remain childless or have babies with whichever sim you happen to have a good chemistry with? (I should now have a cheat to have same gender babies too ^^)
Any particular wishes for decorating your rooms etc? (For instance, favourite colours or a specific style, like ... countryside or space or whatever)

Of course it will take ages to even get this stuff started because simply building houses takes a lot of time (especially because I want to make them different from my usual houses). And then there's the actual playing of the families. But yeah I'm open to suggestions :3


I'm also bothered that aside from Mugu and Cazz the entire town is pale as hale, so I might add like 2 more sims still :sweatdrop:

XD That's awesome!!

I'm all up for being sisters or roommates?? :lol:
I guess some ideas for Meanie sim would be- I like pink and blue and white~ I'm on the computer alot- and I like cooking~! :D
You've had such a win idea-- makes me want to try it oneday if I ever manage to get Sims on my laptop! XD

Roommates, yeah~! I was always a big fan of letting my Sims do whatever the hell they wanted back when I played The Sims.. especially when I made characters based on rl people, because it was hilarious to see how they ended up interacting with each other 8D

My sim should be fond of purple and yellow XDDD It wouldn't bother me if we all had the same surname, and sim babies are fine with me :lol:

Post by: Meania on December 19, 2010, 03:05:30 AM
Funnily enough- last night on The Sims: Bustin out... There are these two houses in free play- one with 4 girls and one with 4 guys.
I went on each of the houses to see how they were and they all started super happy so I just left them to see what they did...
All the women walked over to the cd player, turned it on and danced but one changed her mind and went to admire the painting next to the toilet....
The guys however ignored my orders to go and play basket ball together and all wondered off to do fun things like guitar or watch tv and stop straight after-- and all of a sudden one guy did their distressed kind of call-- didn't see anything above his head though... :lol: still don't get why he was complaining! XD

I kind of want to evict those two families... but... if I do then I'm not sure if they'll still walk around or be able to be phoned... don't want to lose my 6 friends- and I need 8 for the next promotion... D:

I haven't played Bustin' Out so I don't know how it works ^^;; kek

I would otherwise let your characters roam about completely freely, but I always try to aim to fulfill the sims' lifetime wants (http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Lifetime_want) and they tend to take a lot of work/skill building. And sims are not able to develop their skills & get promotions unless I tell them what to do xD I'll try to make them have time off too though, gotta plan some party places and restaurants etc. EVENTUALLY. lol

The Sims Bustin out was a console game right?  I had the the originally Sims for the gamecube, as well as for the PC. I will never play the Sims on console again! I do wonder how the gameplay for the Sims 3 on console fairs.

OK This house is still a work in progress but here's what I have so far :lol:

Ok explanations first. "WHY IS MY HOUSE STANDING ON A DECK AND A TON OF COLUMNS??" Well I had this idea that Virmire used to, and still sometimes does, suffer from floods. (This doesn't actually happen in the game, but have some imagination ok omg.) The 3 houses I've built so far are also standing on a pile o' columns. The deck I had to use for foundation because the ground wasn't even, and looked awful when I evened it. The deck looks nicer. lol

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_3a1a5baf_fa1f7fe4.jpg) (http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/?action=view&current=snapshot_3a1a5baf_fa1f7fe4.jpg) (http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_3a1a5baf_5a1f8029.jpg) (http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/?action=view&current=snapshot_3a1a5baf_5a1f8029.jpg)

The exterior is almost complete except for decorations and lights and stuff like that.

The interior is still nearly compleeettely unfinished, but here is 1st floor:

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_3a1a5baf_ba1f8073.jpg) (http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/?action=view&current=snapshot_3a1a5baf_ba1f8073.jpg)
The two smaller rooms will be bathrooms. Everything is basically out in the open. There's this bit in the middle where you can look straight down, which also continues to the 2nd floor. :3
Some huge windows facing the sea side because really, what's the point in living by the sea if you can't see it? The dining table will go there by the huge windows.

The 2nd floor:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/th_snapshot_3a1a5baf_3a1f8090.jpg) (http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/?action=view&current=snapshot_3a1a5baf_3a1f8090.jpg)
The bedrooms will be here. One is slightly bigger than the other two, so I might change it a bit still (I don't even know why I made it that way lolz).

Basically ONE OF THE WEIRDEST HOUSES I'VE MADE SO FAR.

And da lady sims - I changed the outfits except cazza's because the loli dresses looked a bit weird lol.

OMG! Awesome!!<333

Ohhh >   w  > SO.... I kinda got Sims 3 on Xbox 360 today... :w00t:
It appears to be just like the computer one only probably not as big-- the controls are very different to the other, old console one which is confusing... I keep pulling up a tutorial menu every time I think I'm speeding up time, but I'll get the hang of it!

I'm a bit confused because it seems like (I haven't dared try too much while I get the hang of things) you can select any Sim wandering around to control?? If not it looks like there's a couple of save slots~

I've got a park opposite my house and I'm an aspiring cook! XD I wanted to set my life goal as Family orientated but... I don't want 4 kids to complete my goal! XD So cooking it is!
Last thing I did was stay on for overtime at work and get in a really bad mood from working for so long! :lol:
Title: Re: The Sims 2 Thread!!
Post by: Meania on January 03, 2011, 06:45:36 PM
OK I don't know if Sims 3 on Xbox is that good an idea now...
I know Sims has had glitches in the past but this game seems to be full of them!

First I had a glitch where, after ordering a pizza one day to complete a wish for it- after work every day there'd be a pizza on the floor...
I was a bit confused about that at first but came to like is as it meant I had a fresh meal waiting on the floor or table for me to eat and then I could bin it later- but one day after grabbing a slice it dissapeared into the table... My sim kept having a negative moodlet thing about being disgusted by gone off food... days and days later... My sim picks an invisible pizza box out of the table and bins it on her own! D:

I turned on yesterday and when I went to the seperate screen for moods, wishes and job info-- my wishes and opportunities pages were empty... but were there on the normal smaller screen... (so I haven't been able to delete wishes or see full information on oportunities I accept or delete them either...)

And now... right after reading about it online I get this too-- The sound that plays when an appliance breaks or the toilet clogs is playing over and over and over-- day and night-- so long as it's not on pause- the sound plays again and again.

Currently I've saved in another slot so I can go back to before the sound kept playing but I'll be losing afew days of playing... and I've tried over and over but the wishes and opportunities disapearing glitch must of happened while I had saved that last... D:
It's really annoying-- the game's great but these glitches are ruining it- some are complaining about it crashing or taking a long time to load but I find all that ok... I feel like returning it... but... it'll be a shame to have to go back to the gamecube version.
I don't get it though--- Why release a game with so much wrong with it? I mean-- you test a game before you put it out there... after afew hours of play these glitches kick in!!

I've even hear complaints about baby sims getting trapped under the house while the adult is visiting another area, and bookcases not working atall as items when babies turn to toddlers until they've grown into children! D:

The Tellerman Twins
(http://i56.tinypic.com/291c514.jpg)
Anthony and Peter

I actually took closer pics of the two, as well as the rest of their family, but they didn't save to the folder. :-/  and when I tried to upload them online, I got an error code. O well, the pictures still exist, so I can always try again.

The twins are product of a teen mom and adult male (hacks, hehe). I was only expecting one baby, so I was pretty shocked when I found out that two were coming along (The mom avoided instant meals, but she did eat a lot of omelettes..hmm)

Peter is a young spitting image of his father (Townie: Komei Tellerman), while Tony got his mother's fair skin, as well as a touch of lightness to his hair color (Their mother is a blondie, while Komei is a redhead)

Tony works as a tutor, while Peter works as a pool boy (custom careers). I really like Peter's job, mainly because of the description. A snippet: Now you’ll be skimming leaves out of pools while inadvertently becoming the fantasy of all the housewives in the neighborhood. it might be a bit creepy having women in their 40s peeping at you out their kitchen windows. :lol: Tony tutors a jock girl who's in danger of failing. The only thing I liked was a chance card that came up; There was some chemistry between the two, and Tony had a chance to confess or ignore.

Anyways, I'm not sure what to do with them. I really like them as teens, and I don't want them to grow up. :lol:

LOL HAY

Uh... I actually kind of gave up on the Virmire project because I never played it. :( I'll find some way to add your sims somewhere, but that wasn't working lolol. I AM SORRY~

Meanwhile, in Strangetown... I love how this game can still surprise me sometimes. :lol:

My sim got one of those random "hey, wanna come hang out downtown?" phone calls, and since I had no other specific plans, I just went for it. (Usually I say no because my sims are busy doing something else.)

So he goes and has a fantastic time *cough*

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_d554472d_3c060707.jpg)

The following night, a dude from the outing came to leave a gift. I've got some gifts after dates before, so I wasn't too surprised, and was expecting him to leave roses or something.

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_d554472d_9c060d13.jpg)

Was a motherfucking karaoke machine. DAMN. That must've been an AMAZING night :lol:

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_d554472d_dc060d2d.jpg)

Idk why I didn't comment on this before XD

I get a lot of twins just randomly, but the only thing that truly works (without hacks) for having planned twins is eating cheesecake any time during the pregnancy. And I think this opportunity only became available with one of the expansion packs, but I don't remember which one. lol BUT YEAH. Cheesecake is the key!

AH!! I was playing my Royal Kingdom challenge town for a change, and had some exciting things taking place with the Royal family itself!

First, and sadly, the amazing Queen Christine Royal passed away (in the bathroom of all places), leaving behind the new ruling family King Lucas, Queen Esther and Prince Arthur Lee.

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_5c7f6bb9.jpg)

What does a proper daughter-in-law do when the old queen is gone? That's right, redecorate!

The new master bedroom
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_bc7f71a9.jpg)

The new Prince's room - oops, I have just noticed that a sim can't probably get through the sofa and bed there, oh well, will need to shuffle
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_7c7f7696.jpg)

But that's not all! Queen Esther ended up giving birth to twins, both daughters!

This is Princess Elia:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_1c7f77cb.jpg)

And Princess Olenna:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_7c7f77f7.jpg)

(names from the ASOIAF books)

Esther also decided it was time for her to start looking more like a queen, so she updated her look.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep the red lipstick as a continuous look for the queen. :D
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_b48d7d34_1c7f7dcd.jpg)

(I'm probably going to look for some custom hairstyles with tiaras for more umph)


The reason why this was so exciting is because I've been playing this town/challenge for YEARS, but this was the first time that there was a change in the Queen. Yes, very slow progress with generations. Also, I'm excited about the twin princesses because I've been thinking of slowly starting to bring more gender equality into the town (a part of the challenge is to start with medieval social 'rules') and with these princesses having few options on what to do, ... things may get interesting when a ruling family includes members who aren't happy with the status quo and start thinking outside the box. But all that will take ages :theking

EDIT: I've just realized that THIS THREAD WAS CREATED on the same day that I started my kingdom challenge!! Basically, I've been playing this town for over FOUR YEARS. I have no words. I can see myself playing it 4 years from now still, if only I don't lose my save.
Title: Re: The Sims 2 Thread!!
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on April 20, 2012, 07:34:30 PM
I know you all have missed my Sim stories!!!!

I started a new Legacy Challenge town one day when I got bored. Some changes this time: I downloaded new default CAS faces, so the townies and NPCs that I created have slightly different faces in comparison to the usual Maxis faces. This is good because I've got rather sick of the old defaults.

Anyway, meet Aylee Snow:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_9c8c8ce7_7c8c91a6.jpg)
She has this funky alien skin going on.

I chose the name Snow because the town has FOREVER WINTER.

Starting a legacy challenge with Seasons EP is harder than usual (they actually need a roof over their heads and walls around them to survive the cold). I think the huge lot I got was also bigger than the lots I've had for legacy challenge in the past, giving me less money to work with. Anyway, this was Aylee's starting hut:

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_9c8c8ce7_7c8c8f97.jpg)
I couldn't afford both a shower and a toilet, so I had to keep deleting one to buy the other for emergencies 8)

The size of the lot (those are sims playing at the back of the lot)
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_9c8c8ce7_3c8c90e1.jpg)

Aylee has been sloooowly working on her dream career of a dancer. This is her practicing:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_9c8c8ce7_3c9dc78b.jpg)

Of course one night this bitch showed up and STOLE HER DANCING BAR:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_9c8c8ce7_bc9dd470.jpg)

A cop showed up and arrested her, but for some reason I didn't get the usual capture reward OR my stolen items back! What the fuck! Way for the game to get buggy the moment my sim is actually struggling. She can't afford to buy back the items that were just stolen (the dance bar and a mirror). The TWO ITEMS that she needs to work on her career skills, body+ and charisma+. Goddamnit. :lol: How unlucky is that.

This sums up our feelings on this:
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_9c8c8ce7_bc9dd4ed.jpg)

Of course Aylee has also been boyfriend shopping because she eventually needs to pop out a few babies.

At first things weren't looking well and she even had to chat up a guy with hypothermia LOL
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_9c8c8ce7_7c9dcadf.jpg)

But then this guy walked by and oh baby, two bolts. I love his eyes :D
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_9c8c8ce7_3c9dccc4.jpg)

So that's her future husband. Or fuckbuddy. He does need to move in so I can get more funds. 8) What is love?

Anyway hellz yeah! Let's do this!

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k165/shirenu/snapshot_9c8c8ce7_1c9dbe42.jpg)

Aylee does currently own both a toilet and a shower, and I even got her a stove! :lol: Finally able to cook!
Title: Re: The Sims 2 Thread!!

Updating on the legacy challenge 8)

Well it took a while, but Aylee finally got her bf to move in! That is, Blair Straight ( :lol: @ name)

(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip04971.jpg)

Blair moved in with 21,000 simoleans :w00t: I was finally able to build a proper house!! Too bad I lost over 2000 on flattening the terrain.

(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip04972.jpg)
The house!

I built in the middle like that because I think eventually I'd like to have the house surrounded by a lake ^___^ Working on terrain takes a lot of funds though, so I'll have to save that for a future generation. Anyway, I'll widen the bottom floor a bit when the first baby is on its way, but otherwise I'll try to keep the house itself kind of small and cute, or rather build up than build wide.

The house indoors at night:

(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip04969.jpg)

Somewhat bare still, but I think it's cute.

SOMEBODY GOT LAID FOR THE FIRST TIME! But no baby.

(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip04979.jpg)

SOMETHING INTERESTING... OH SIMS 2, NEVER CHANGE.

She must have otherwise her dad's face, but got her mom's nose, that's why it's so mismatched. :lol: Good times.

But the first thing she did as a toddler was to start dancing to Bad Romance, so I love her already.

Anyway, what's different about this pic compared to my previous pics?

(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip05230.jpg)

That's right...
There's a CEILING!!! FINALLY!!!! O-M-G

Also here is a picture of super cute Amanda Cox :3 She is supposed to be a model, and she really could sport any kind of style. Her features are like a blank canvas. Love it~

(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip05232.jpg)

She's part of the Cox household where both the parents are basically alien Show Parents. They adopted these 3 girls to turn them into all kinds of super stars. It hasn't really been working yet. :lol: Anyway, they've just had their first biological baby, a son, so of course I named him... JYP (Kpop reference)

I'm thinking of getting 3 generations this week maybe, they have it a little cheaper on Origin, but I don't think I can use them because I have shirenu's copy of the game XD I'll just buy the disc, it should work! maybe second hand 8)
Title: Re: The Sims 2 Thread!!
Post by: shirenuファクトリー on July 14, 2012, 02:11:08 PM
Ayeh xD So I asked guys in IRC to suggest me a house to build based on a floorplan. Pika suggested this one:
http://www.floorplans.com/plan-detail/AFLFPW19066/vivacious-victorian (http://www.floorplans.com/plan-detail/AFLFPW19066/vivacious-victorian)

And off I went. I didn't have pictures of the house open as I was building and some things don't translate to Sims 2 quite well, so I took some freedoms :3

The front of the house:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip05390.jpg)
Oop. I notice that some of the roofing is different, but tbh, working on the roof is such a pain in the ass I probably won't make any more changes to it, aside from trying to continue the veranda roofing (which is also v. annoying because you have to move the windows around or it'll refuse to place the roof there lol).

Notes to self: Change the fencing, add more bushes, try to finish the veranda roofing

The back of the house:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip05389.jpg)
Looks like I made the deck on the 2nd floor too long. It needs more random stuff, but that will come once the family moves in, maybe :P
I added a pool because I could.

Note to self: Widen the stairs to backyard with 1 block...

First floor:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip05392.jpg)
Now, normally the stairs you see on the original floor plan would be enough to say "this cannot be built on Sims 2". However, there were so many random closets near the staircase that I was able to insert the straight stairs up. Victory. The parlour/dining area resulted in a more open area because of this, too :P

Everything else is pretty much as it is in the floor plan...

Second floor:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip05391.jpg)
Enormous master bedroom with an enormous bathroom, so pimp.
I basically turned every closet into an extra toilet/bathroom, because sims don't need closets. :P
The stairs are of course in a completely different spot, but because of the whole closet thing, it doesn't matter.

So, there we go! How did I do?!?

Back:

I know the roofs could be better, but working with roofs on Sims 2 is SO HARD...

(Most of) First floor:

Second floor:

(above garage)
(http://i49.tinypic.com/333lcg4.jpg)


...This lot is worth about 160,000 simoleans unfurnished :D


I actually don't usually like huge houses like this - visually, I find them quite fug even in real life. But I needed to build a new house to the royal family of my town, so I needed to find a ridiculous house that was still somehow doable on Sims 2. So yeah, this was also built based on a floorplan.

HAAEYYY IT'S ME AGAIN XD

I went crazy with downloading more stuff for Sims 2.
Actually, I even got the infamous Inteenimater mod for it, which allows for teens to woohoo and *gasp* have babies D: I doubt I will be making much use of this - honestly, there's plenty of time to have babies as adult sims - but I thought it would be a realistic addition to the more fucked up sims that I might have. :?

Other than that I've downloaded a bunch of wallpapers, shrubs, vines, some clutter in the hopes that I could improve the interior design of my houses and even build new ones. Found this one evil site that lists all the new Sims 2 CC updates and I could really spend forever going through that stuff. I just have to stop myself now that I already have some new toys to play with. :lol:

ANYWAY... I also sent my first teens to university :3 In Strangetown, my first teen to go to uni was none other than FLYP SMITH

Flyp with clothes on
(http://i50.tinypic.com/rr598x.jpg)

Flyp with clothes off
(http://i49.tinypic.com/33m3jo3.jpg)

And he's got his eyes on this chica here... 2/3 bolts baby
(http://i46.tinypic.com/2h7h3pk.jpg)

Not sure it'll last because I don't like to add more townie sims into my hood, but at least he'll get lucky, I PROMISE. :jphip:

It's unfinished - all the gardening is missing from outdoors, as well as a barbecue, outdoor dining and seating... But I really like it so far... 8)

Another floorplan I got from the Internet, btw :P

What's that I hear? More pictures?? Well then, I must oblige!

A more finished version of the new house (could still do more decoration)

Some of my favourite rooms inside...

The pink kitchen/dining :3

Master bedroom (mostly because of the painted wall)

One of my fav moments is when my kids go to school dutifully on a bright day, it's just cute...

I'm worried about this lot already bugging, though >_< Here's one bug that's never happened before... My sim got a phone call from Ricky Cormier(? the guy in red shirt) and he POPPED UP VISIBLY, he'd pop around all over talking to my sim for a while until it finally stopped... So creepy... At least now I know how they've coded the phone calls... The sim that is talking on the other end of the call is actually doing all the conversation motions somewhere in the back corners of the game >_<

My game just keeps leveling up 8)

Things I've got recently:
- 4 stuff packs (because they were cheap on Origin): gardening, H&M, family and kitchen & bathroom stuff I think - I'm glad I got them cheap because they are not worth the original price 8) The gardening one was most worth it tbh, can never have enough plants, now if only I could get inspired to start building those gardens...

- A shower where Sims can do pervy things :lol: ..I haven't tested this yet, and I'm not turning off the protective pixels :lol:

- A computer that Sims can use to fap :lol: Haven't tried this one yet, either...
