The weather was crappy today and I wasn't feeling great, so I literally played this game all day long. I have regrets cause my desk is not comfortable, but on the bright side my sims have a beautifully decorated home and everyone has a significant other now. lol
I've been playing The Sims since the original game came out. Someone told me, "You can set people on fire!" and I was sold.
My all-time favorite sims series is The Sims 2, because the expansions just worked so well. The one where you could become a business owner? They have never been able to make another business pack that runs so smoothly or gives you so many options. I loved seeing customers line up in my store, and having my sim's cash register skills level up. I liked how critics could rate me, and make or break my reputation. Restaurant dates were so fun then, too. You could propose marriage at the dinner table at a fancy restaurant! And apartments were way better than in The Sims 4. Sims 4 gives you specific apartment lots and you can't make your own. You can't even delete some of the traits on those lots. I miss being able to build my own apartment buildings. And the last Sims 2 expansion with the hobbies? SO GOOD. I really miss having my sims being able to build their own muscle cars. It's just a darn shame.
Yet...Sims 4 is a close second. Why? The inclusivity is unbeatable. Not only can you make trans sims without mods, but they even gave us Pride stuff this year: pride clothing, a pride flags, and unisex bathroom doors. THANK YOU! Also, the graphics are really beautiful. Sims 2 had better gardening, but it's still pretty good in 4. I like all the different recipes and cooking styles. I miss how Sims 2 had more TV stations if you got a satellite dish, but now we have video gaming and we can watch full-length sim-movies. lol So many cool festivals. Seasons has so much more to do than ever before.
I still miss things from the original Sims, though. That game had the best music by far. I burned Makin' Magic's "soundtrack" onto CD even. lol I miss how you had to trim hedges, water your plants, and feed your fish and clean their tanks. I miss how your stalker would leave you a black rose on your doorstep. I miss how with every career level gain, the kind of car you drove got nicer. Most of all, I miss how easy it was to murder sims. LOL!! I mean, that's what I signed up for! XD
Sims 3. Sims 3 is my least favorite. I thought the sims were so, so ugly. They looked cartoony and they always had double chins. There were honestly too many color/pattern options; it took real-world hours just to decorate a room or dress your sim (if you're into that kinda thing). It would take them all day to drive to work or whatever location you picked. Now, I did love how you could place any lot of any size just about anywhere, and I hate how limiting S4 is in that. Some of the expansions were incredible. I loved the way they did University. I loved World Adventures a lot, for all the crypt-crawling you get to do. So while this was my least favorite Sims game, I still really enjoyed it and have yet to uninstall it.
I'm making myself want to play more, but it's bedtime! Thanks for reading my late-night sleepy rambles. I will be back for this thread cause I love sims so much!
