Hang Out and Post

Wow, do you get to build the house and things like that? -Enjoys games where you get to design and build structural things-

 

 

 

 

Lulz, I finally got that Starly up to level 10 with Chimchar but i'm gonna get my Shinx up there too before I take on the first trainer in the game. :P

[Luciana]

Oh my gosh I love the sims so much arrrggghhh. Why did you have to remind me that it doesn't work on any of my computers? ;_;

[Noog]

Yeah, you get to build your house :D You can also build other people (perhaps replicas of someone that you hate in real life) and build them a really bad house and shove them in there :P And then you can make your sim beat them up whenever he sees them :D

[-Ryan]

Sweet! xD

I want this game now! xD

 

Cna you get it on something besides PC? o.o

[Luciana]

and you can kill them. :-D

Well. It's harder to in the sims 3. In the few minutes I managed to have it working, I realized the sims got smarter and don't like. burn in a fire or drown when you're not looking.

edit: Yea, but it's not the same. Much better on the PC.

[Noog]

Umm, they've released them on PS3....MAYBE Xbox, I don't pay attention to most Xbox titles.

 

They have less fun versions on the DS, like castaway, but on that you don't even build your house or anything. You're a castaway.....

 

edit: Yeah, on the computer that I WAS playing off of, I got maybe 5 minutes in until it went completely dark and I had to restart the computer. I did this three times, mostly in denial. :(

[Wembly]

Yup, cuz we are the home of the Consitution and Declaration of Independence. YEAH! :whistle:

The line to see the liberty bell was 2 hour wait on july 3rd, crazy long.

And also crazy duck boat accidents...

 

The purple one is called espeon. (I think it's pink) You have to have a friendly evolution in the daytime.

Eevee can now evolve into things other than the electric/fire/water?!?!? Apparently I haven't played a new enough version to notice that. I got the original when it first came out, memories...

 

 

The Mayday Parade thanks I forgot most of them Havent played pokemon in a year lol Iam going to buy the new one dont know wicth version yet I cant wait to get it

Is the new one any good? I was thinking about getting one if the price ever when below 40 bucks :grrr: that too much for a DS game.

 

Me: GADZOOKERY!

 

I'm still amazed by your smarticleness. xD

Gratz(again) Divya. ^^

I definitely need to use the word gadzooks more often. And smarticleness, now there's one for the dictionary.

[-Ryan]

I have returned because I FINALLY got all 3 of my pokemon to level 10. Stupid Shinx kept fainting against level 3 bidoofs. Dx

 

 

Yeah, Eevee can now also be Leafeon or Glaceon. ^^

Both are fairly ugly though... Dx

 

 

Yes, they are both amazing words. :P

[Wembly]

You are making me want to play pokemon now. Also wow, apparently it was a good day in my shop today, I made 12000 np in 24 hours, sweet!

[Theresa2]

[:)Doc]

My parents wont let me get The Sims cause of the 'babies' they are afraid it might 'show something' <_<

[Quark]

*raises hand* Guilty Sim addict right here. It has stolen many, many hours of my precious young life. (And I regret none of it! Nonnnne!)

 

I have mixed feelings about the 3rd game so far. I feel like it lacks the ability to make a great HUGE story of multiple families, even though it adds a lot of great new features. The 2nd and all its wacky expansion packs will always be my fave, I suppose. (Going back to the 1st ones is hysterical. I was even MORE addicted to the first one when I was younger, oddly enough. Oh, the massive Harry Potter neighborhoods that I made... *shakes head*)

lol, they try for babies, but any nudity in the game (showers and such, I think you can also streak?) is completely censored. It is impossible for there to be any because there wasn't any drawn by the artists.

 

However, you can draw your own game components in photoshop and share them via "the exchange". Hence most games adding the fact that they can't put a rating on anything you get online.

I'm gonna run that by them. I have really wanted to try this game for a long time now! :laughingsmiley:

[Quark]

True true, and yeah they can go streaking with the Sims 2 University addition. Everything is blurred and under the blur is "Barbiedoll anatomy" (AKA: none).

The most adult the game gets is probably just the kissing. The "WooHoo"ing is never seen.

(Plus, calling it WooHoo! is just hilarious. I'd like to sit in the board meeting when they discussed that one.)

[:)Doc]

Lol, I'm definitely gonna run it by them now!

 

Which version should I buy, if they say yes?

[Quark]

Well Sims 2 is probably really cheap now with the 3rd one out. I don't think they sell the 1st in retail stores anymore, just online. (I wouldn't suggest that anyway for a first timer, it's too limited.)

Personally I would go with the 2nd, but if you want updated graphics and whatnot go with the 3rd. It's hard to explain the difference to someone who hasn't played it before but the in the Sims 2 you can readily focus on one household at a time, whereas in the Sims 3 all the houses merge and play in realtime.

Sims 3 has better customization in making a character without having to download online content (which can be timeconsuming). It also has a lot more social interactions in the base game. Building houses is a LOT easier in the Sims 3. But if you have a slow computer it will lag like crazy.

[Noog]

To me, it depends on how well your computer performs. (graphics card, RAM, and your processor.) If you want, I can give you the minumum requirements for Sims 3, but minimum only runs the game on low quality.

 

Sims 2 is a very safe bet. It will work on more computers than 3, and it's probably cheaper now, or in a bundle.

[:)Doc]

My computer is only just over a year or two old, speed difference is no problem. But from what you two say, I should probably try 2 before even attempting 3. :yes:

[Quark]

If you do get the 2nd one, I would suggest getting the Double Deluxe pack.

http://www.amazon.com/Sims-2-Double-Deluxe-Pc/dp/B001444IN6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1279170547&sr=8-1

It's less than 20 dollars, comes with the base game, the Nightlife expansion and extra items. Really good deal.

[:)Doc]

Wow. Thats amazing! I really wanna get it now! But I gotta make sure its cool with my 'rents, and get some more cash <_<

[Noog]

Your 'rents? XD Never heard that one before either. Maybe I'm just old. If I'm old...thats pretty sad.

[Quark]

I've heard of 'rents and I'm older than you! For some reason I picture Will Smith saying it in the Fresh Prince of Bell-Air.

That is probably so inaccurate but the image is there.

[:)Doc]

I don't know if someone/something else uses it, but I started using it when I got a flip phone, cause I had to switch to text chat cause I dont have a full keyboard anymore :(

[Noog]

No, never heard of 'rents before, and I've seen every episode of Fresh Prince of Bel air.
