Re: Sims 3

(Anonymous) 2013-08-18 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not a huge fan of Sims 3.

Sims 3 works well for legacy houses, because you literally have one house in a neighborhood that's controllable. You can fill other houses with people, but they go off and do their own things (sometimes even getting married and having kids) while you're playing your main house. And you *can* (I've heard) switch to one of the other houses, but when you do, the house you were playing keeps on keeping on like all the others.

Also, I really find watching my Sims run to work or wherever they're going is just an unnecessary pain. I mean, it's kind of nice if you're in "downtown" and you can just walk to the business next door and not have to deal with load screens, but in general? Nope. Especially since the longer runs are when it seems to get the most laggy.

I also feel like it takes micromanaging to new, horrific levels.

The only things I really like is its vacation expansion and it's CAS and clothing options. But I like those a lot. If Sims 4 is essentially the Sims 2 gameplay with Sims 3 build-a-sim, I will be a happy, happy person.

Sorry, that got long, but I love Sims 2, and even have been working on a fannish neighborhood: http://fandomsims2.tumblr.com/ (Fandoms so far include pre-series Modern Family, pre-series Arrested Development, Growing Pains and, though I have no posts for them yet, Family Ties.)

Thanks for this! It helps to hear both sides of those who love it and then just the average playing issues. (I have a Harry Potter fannish neighborhood in both Sims 1 and 2, so I understand fandom series)

I'm still looking forward to seeing how Sims 3 plays and I think it's only $5 with the Humble Bundle so it's well worth the cost.
