Sharon Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Sometimes I am tempted to dive back into this fantastic game and I'm always looking at the great deals with expansion packs. It's just a massive time suck and as fun as it is I simply don't have the bandwidth to play like I did back in the day. I have yet to design an efficient tiny house - it's been one of my Sims lifetime goals haha Does anyone here still like to play The Sims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean? It's an offline game, or it was "back in the day". In all seriousness I was never that big a fan but I could see it's appeal. Now though, mutch like FIFA and Madden, it's just an increasing experiment on how much EA can push their greed. killamch89 and Sharon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When life was simpler and I literally had summers where my friends and I would take turns for hours at the computer designing homes and completing achievements. I remember when my childhood friend came over with the original Sims game and I was absolutely blown away by the concept. It was like having a pet but it was a simulation of a person... wow typing that out sounds weird hahahaha I remember we would take pictures and create stories using the Sims characters we developed. It was so much fun but I can't imagine sinking that much time into a game now. Crazycrab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Not as much, Just like any other game that you loss interst after a while playing it, then again new things comes out that people move to or move on. After a while most not all tend to come back to there old games and the sims are on of them. People are playing them, there are around. Seeing content each day of people uploading. Not saying it's dead or know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion Knight Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I keep being tempted to download a copy of the original The Sims game.. or even to try The Sims 2. The newer iterations don't interest me so much for some reason. Probably with the added pressure of achievements/trophies, or the sheer amount of available DLC.

StormyFire Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I play Sims pretty often. I usually play The Sims 4 nowadays, but out of all of them, I probably played The Sims 3 the most. I think The Sims 4 has the best graphics, but The Sims 3 probably has better gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I have the sims 4 on my PC that I play semi-often, it’s definitely a game that I don’t think will ever get old or replaced easily due to its unique play style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I used to then I found strategy games and the interest fades out. I think if the VR gives me some new life to live I would be playing sim of some sort any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is why it has lasted for so long. There's not really a game that can match its play style, and for good reason. I think that developing The Sims is a massive undertaking due to the amount of interactions involved in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I used to play it quite a bit in high school but I just don't play it all nowadays. If I remember correctly, it'd be about 5-6 years since I've last played a Sims game. I mean, real life is such a pain already and Sims constantly reminds me about that.

skyfire Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I love games of this type I wonder if the VR comes in this could be a good option for future like meetings, workshops and stuff can be done with sims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very interesting idea but knowing EA, they'd ruin it somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I don't think that would remain the same. Besides I don't hate any gaming company for their decisions on how they treat employee or earn from microtransactions. Sure they do and I have no option to deal with it. I think if they can release some good VR like sims game I am definitely going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
