pyramid head Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Has anyone heard the latest anti-games BS from Fox News FOX News accuses games of promoting 'liberal agenda' You have to love FOX News. It's turned the word "agenda" into something sinister, without ever having to quantify whatever the agenda in question actually is. Next up on FOX's agenda is yet another round of videogame bashing, but this time there's a twist! Apparently, videogames are tools of the "green police" and they're promoting a "liberal agenda" with environmentally conscious messages. Games like Sim City and Flower came under fire from Clayton Morris and online radio host TJ McCormack, who accused them of using scare tactics and guilt to promote a political cause. Yes, we all see the irony with that statement. "These guys have kids with sweaty palms, and freaking out that they're not going to kill a bunch of virtual polar bears ... virtual polar bears!" said McCormack, making no sense whatsoever. "... It's also boring. It's also boring! These are not games, there's a game that teaches kids how to do a tad sale! Recyclables!" Some gamers are angry at McCormack for his comments, but I don't know how anybody could read the above quote and be furious. I think it's hilarious! FOX ran a story criticizing games for trying to educate children instead of promoting violence and murder, and they brought on a man who screamed about virtual polar bears. For once, I think FOX News should be congratulated on its fine comedy. http://www.destructoid.com/fox-news-accuse...a--210786.phtml I'm confused just how did they arrive at the conclusion that The Sims and Flower of all games could be corrupting young people, i suppose they couldn't find any games that featured interspecies xxx, so they decided to create controversy about 2 non-corrupting games. Only one thing can be said about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've recent;y gotten back into playing Sims 3, but the problem is that every family I create gets boring after the first time I play it. Does anyone have any suggestions to make a funner family/fun things to do on the game? I have Late Night & Generations expansion packs, and towns Sunset Valley, Riverview, Barnacle Bay, and Bridgeport. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anus Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Here's an idea that I tried to get going once in my own game. I did it with a single sim family though. Basically, my sim would have no official job. He'd make money (the goal is to become rich) through stuff like creating and selling paintings, crafts, inventions, etc. Pretty exciting way to play the game. My sim pretty much never left the house (yeah he was kinda misanthropic I guess ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I think I tried that once, but eventually got bored. Just started off with a female sim on Barnacle Bay and married her to some guy called Rahul Petel. I'm already pregnant. It's fun when you don't use cheats.

trip Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 It's fun when you don't use cheats. I never use cheats when I play the Sims. I'm a total sims dork and don't do anything outlandish either. Just good old boring semi-normal life for my sims. blitz, try the world builder tool. I knocked out a map of the neighborhood I grew up in and it really adds that extra twist of fun in an odd way. Also, if you marry and play the boring way that I do - it can be fun to kill your first spouse. The ghost will make hooking up with another person pretty wacky. And since you mentioned you don't use cheats. My main goal every time I start a new sim is to get married and raise a kid. After the kid is mature I kill off the folks . Nice big furnished house and a ton of money to start a new life with. I think the max I done is 3 generations.

Slingaa Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Set your Sim(s) goals. It rarely gets boring when you're striving for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with the world builder tool is that I fear it'll take too much space, as the computer I play the sims 3 in is an older family computer, lags a bit sometimes but I manage properly. Thanks for the tip though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allah_akbar Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Are there more creative ways of killing your Sims in Sims 3 comparing to Sims 2? If there are, please don't reveal them to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trip Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Are there more creative ways of killing your Sims in Sims 3 comparing to Sims 2? If there are, please don't reveal them to me. Not really. Sims can even crawl out of pools after you remove the ladders. There are some strange random deaths though. I had a pregnant wife die for no reason as she was walking up the steps to the front door of the house. It was totally weird and my main sim dude totally lost it. Her ghost made it near impossible to hook up with another chick. As far as forced deaths; Since there are basements in sims3 - they can always be fun for sick forced deaths. @Whiskey. Sweet house.

Verdant Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) When I got the Sims 3 on Xbox 360, It was pretty disappointing on how it wasn't two player and I didn't play it for days. Although I gave it another shot last night and actually enjoyed it, it is pretty addictive in my honest opinion, less laggy and they have more to interact with. Personally, Sims are mainly designed for the PC. Edited July 30, 2012 by GtaOutKast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Okay, so my sim got this really annoying moodlet called Betrayal or something so now they won't talk to each other. They got a divorce and my sim gave birth. Anyways, I can't handle the kid, he's a toddler and the babysitters are bullsh*t. They sit and watch TV while my baby has filthy green gas over him and's crying like a nutcase. My sim's a doctor now so she gets called into the Hospital randomly, so again, she can't take care of the child. I decided that I'd leave that family for a bit and created a family of Rednecks. It's the parents, Randall and Helen, a teenage girl, Molly, and a child, Billy. They're hilarious, the little kid's a f*cking nightmare, he goes around pranking everyone and everything, the girl's sort of romantic so she currently has a thing for Ethan Bunch, and the parents are completely insane. It's funner to make a weird family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, Sims are mainly designed for the PC. EA ditched 2 player in the sims starting with Sims 2 pets for Console. It was always for console: Sims: 2 player Sims Bustin out: 2 Player or Online play (online only on PS2) Urbz: 2 Player The Sims 2: 2 player The Sims 2 pets: 1 player The Sims 2 Castaway: 1 Player The Sims 3: 1 player The Sims 3 Pets: 1 player Perhaps the next sims console will have 2 player.

trip Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I have a serious question here. Fist off I'll openly admit that I'm a pretty huge Sims fan. I'm a Will Wright fan boy, and have been since the original SimCity. Not only do I own every version of The Sims and all the expansions for each version, I started trending the series years before the release of the first version. So yeah, I'm pretty much a Sims freak. Would getting the Xbox version make me freak out and hate things, or could it actually be something I could enjoy as much as the base version of The Sims3(pc)?

I don't see the point in buying it for Xbox really. It's the same but with less features, horrible controls and worse graphics. Oh, and the lifetime happiness rewards suck.

anus Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Le bump. Anyone got Showtime? I got it recently. I haven't tried out the specific features yet but it seems pretty cool. Playing the default 'Steel' family right now. Catching fish like it ain't no thang. Got every expansion other than World Adventures right now.

nightwalker83 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I bought The Sim 3 for my sister a couple of days ago via Steam I hopefully I can get it to work on her MAC using this program I came across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I needed to hear. Every Sims game is always best played on PC. I still remember playing Sims 2 on ps2 and I find it slow paced and confusing. unlike in PC with the embedded hotkeys (keyboard) not to to mention your computer mouse, You literally control the game. Plus you can always expand with the expansion packs, And you can add mods too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet jesus, when I try having lage households my sims just end up peeing on the floor and vomiting all over because I lack toilets and I can't put two toilets in a bathroom for two sims to use at the same time, no sir, they shoo each other off. They're just so insecure of their bodies, picky sims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anus Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) So Tyrone Jones just became a hit movie composer. What's weird is, I was hoping there'd be a rapper career when I made this character (HUGE black dude). But now he's a symphonic artist. What a weird turn of events. Thinking of getting the Age Freeze potion if I can earn enough reward points before I hit the bucket. Lets see. Edit: Yep, got the Age Freeze potion. Maxed out my logic as well and now Tyrone's earning $500 an hour if I remember right. Got his own limo to take him places and sh*t. High roller lol. Wanna try out the dusty lamp next. I'm curious if its similar to the VERY unpredictable lamp in Sims 1. Edited July 30, 2012 by Warlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
