Next EP...SHOWTIME?

[joandsarah]

Sims 2 is my faithful, but I enjoy a bit of sims 3 now and then.

I put my simself into Riverview, changing her absent minded and green thumb traits to brave and genius. Bet she wondered how she went from miss scream at a spider to disarming fire traps in an Egyptian tomb.
I went on two trips to Egypt and lived. So far so good. It's quite fun in a goal type action game kind of way. Not exactly what I would call sim play, but then I don't really see sims 3 as being sims.

Amy if you read this and seeing how you're a member at MTS, could you pop over and reply on my thread. www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=478352 I don't think my last edit has been seen and I know they wouldn't want me to bump my own thread, but I need opinions on my hotel. It's my Wet n Wild lot turned into a resort.

Commented. You're doing a great job, and single handedly convincing me to get more EPs!

[joandsarah]

Thank you ;D I just saw your post there. You should Amy, once you do you won't know how you managed without it.

But as the SimSecret post said this week, it's Supernatural, but there's still no aliens. And while they have no aliens, I will be sticking with TS2. That and I love TS2. ;D

I miss the aliens terribly but I've only got laptops at the moment and one has ts3 on there and the other wont handle ts2 anymore. The second they release an ts3 ep with aliens im getting it.

[amylu1988]

I couldn't imagine a sims game without aliens, but the horses in TS3 do look cool. And at least they are adding all the other creatures now. Except the plant sims, if I remember rightly.

Jo, I'll most likely finish this challenge then get more EPs (AL, first one on the list), I plan to reboot my laptop again once I've finished Hypothesis.

[joandsarah]

I don't think Sims 3 will ever have aliens or plantsims because I think (I could also be totally wrong) the way the game is set up they can't have an 'ideal unseen NPC' because aliens come from the unseen poly tech and plantsims come from the unseen ideal plantsim NPC in Sims 2. No doubt EA thought giving coloured skin from the base game was giving players 'aliens'


I like the TS3 animals except they are a little too controlable. When I horse can be told to 'go pee' and can have an 'accident' it's gone too far. My simself beat up a burglar last night! She won too! I'll have to post some pictures.

Yes you can't be a proper Sims 2 nut without AL, it's one of the best EP's. Even if you don't play apartments, although I find its fun occasionally, some of the interactions are really sweet. Ceiling tiles of course really make the houses too.

No aliens...bit of a bummer but understand. Just loved the abductions to be honest...cracked me up to no end. Ah well got vampires in night time ep...that's keeping me entertained. I hear the witches are coming out soon also...could be good maybe.?

[amylu1988]

The witches are what's putting me off AL in TS2 though, I don't think my laptop could handle the lag for the random weather changes on comm lots or for the sparkly skin. It can't work with the lightning in TS2 as it is!

Yeah, the abductions are a big and fun part of the aliens, and I see what you mean about the unseen NPCs, Jo. I guess that's what you lose when you can control everyone.

Ha, telling horses to 'go pee'?! How strange! They do look pretty though, the horses and unicorns.

[joandsarah]

The lag on my business lots the first time the game creates a witch is horrendous. First time it happened I thought the game had frozen on me. I went and made a cup of coffee and kept checking it.
Then the lag the first time they appear on any load up is bad too, yeah I could see you wanting to avoid that. There might be a hack that stops them showing up on business. They do the same thing on community lots but it's not as bad.
Sparkly/green skin I got rid of pronto courtesy of MTS. Otherwise any time they change alignment or say go from being bad regular skin to evil green= another really bad lag. As you do when a sim turns blue from the cold.

There might be a mod to stop some of the effects of storms, could be worth looking around for.

Talking of aliens I just had my first alien toddler in my BACC using my new poly tech default. I'll have to post a picture because he's so cute. It's not a multi pack, just a single file default of an old one on MTS.

I think the animals look after themselves fairly well, but just having them as a controllable household member means you will check there wants unless you're a really good hands off player. They certainly didn't need to add a need to pee bar. I'd like to be able to have them non controllable as well. I have yet to see a unicorn! Oh well I'm having fun tomb raiding, I'll have to post some of those pics too, my simself got herself quite fried in an electrical trap.

I wonder why aliens aren't included in Supernatural, don't they know we're obsessed with aliens!!!
