Sims 1 soundtrack just makes me really sad. I love Sims 2's soundtrack though and I think it really sums up the height of the Sims and everything it was

is there any way to play this game in widescreen? i downloaded it some time ago but couldn't deal with 25% of the screen being black to each side

it's one of the better soundtracks ever made, not many like it that also draw upon a specifically nostalgic period and style of music

Wasn't the Sims 3 music mostly bought from freesounds.org or some shit? I've heard songs from that game in TV shows and shit before.

I personally can't like the Sims 3's music, maybe it's too positive but it makes me think I'm playing the Elf game or some shit. Perhaps I'm a doomer

God, the soundtrack is an absolute masterpiece, it had no right being this good. A mix of '50s Americana and solemn contemplation of bygone days.

Sims 1 will always have the biggest place in my heart for the sadness. But yeah Sims 2 perfected the entire concept.

This here is the real problem.

Nostalgia. Better times. When joy was easy for you to come by. Now that joy doesn't come as easily and when it does, it fades quickly because you can't lose yourself in what was - you have responsibilities now, you think differently, you have come to put away childish things when you need to be an adult.

Those days are gone user. Keep those feelings and memories in your heart, user. But don't dwell on the past because there is still a road ahead of you. And just because that sun has set, doesn't mean a new one won't rise.

I do remember the sims 1, and it will always have a place in my heart as one of my favorite games of my childhood, having said that playing it now i've been spoiled by all the quality of life changes they've made in the latter games. The needs decay way too quickly in the sims 1 to be able to enjoy any of the expansion packs imo, hell even going on vacations were tedious at times just cause your sims needs dropped too fast. I tried looking for that one modded object that instantly boosts your needs but for the life of me i can't find it anymore.

Also did anyone play the sims 3 like an open world rpg more than a life simulator? I loved playing as a single homeless character, blowing up cars with c4 (I think it was in the ambitions ep) and making my fortune traveling to the different countries collecting treasures that i'd showcase in my mansion that i'd eventually get from getting passive income from all the properties i'd own in the city

Why are you guys getting mopey and sad over the past? Be happy you have these memories to reflect on. Greentext about fun times you had in the game, times that annoyed the shit out of you, and times you said "fuck it" and cheated to get the extra money.

You aren't sad and unhappy, you're just older and smarter and can't take pleasure in simple things. You need to find to go out and find new things that catch your attention - get out of your nostalgia cave and throw caution to the wind. You CAN find something new to take your interest.

You will never lose those memories and those feelings, you will always have them. Just don't stay transfixed in the past - reminisce, but keep walking or it will only feel worse.

Every time I am reminded I get angry. Anyways, the console Sims were actually pretty fucking good. I still remember putting hundreds of hours into Bustin' Out, Urbz (for Xbox and DS and I think GBA as well), and Sims 1 and 2 and having a blast. 2 is still my favorite for the direct control addition, but goddamn they were all pretty good. The odd thing is I don't remember how I got into the series. For some reason I bought Sims 1 for the GC and enjoyed the shit out of it, but I don't know what convinced me to buy it in the first place.

I remember my introduction fairly well. I was at a GameStop right before they took down the ps2 rack. I grabbed the last few sims games not knowing what they were. Sims 2 Pets, Sims 1, and the urbz. (I wouldn’t buy Bustin Out until last year) Looking back now, I can for sure say that my all time favorite sims game will forever be the urbz just because of its city atmosphere and the attitude the sims had in each district making them seem so distinct

From 2 to 3 they added some stuff, like mermaids, horses and some other shit.
They took it all away in 4 and still haven't added any of it back. They just made 4 run on microwaves and look a bit better than 3.

It has elements from each DLCs - like pets from Unleashed and items from Vacation, the main appeal is that it's a big interconnected neighbourhood, like the Sims 3 world but online

I remember getting tired of it after an in-game week and buying fireworks inside and deleting the doors

SHOULD i stay with sims 2 full dlc or go for sims 3 full dlc

IS sims 3 actually a straight UP. Upgradd

4 looks quite a lot better than 3, and the performance is nice. What they SHOULD have done is remastered 3 in that style and not running like total anus AIDS. But that wouldn't make them as many trillions of dirty housewife dollars.

I still remember being too initially retarded to figure out how to rotate chairs.

You wont be able to run Sims 3 with all the expansions.

There are different features, though 3 is the best example in this case since it adds Open World which is huge and fun as fuck - this means your sim can go out of his home and literally walk all over the entire fucking map or visit other houses and buildings without a loading screen, or just zoom on the other side of the fucking map and see what's going on there on real time
It also has the most content.
Unfortunately the open world was implemented badly so it can be suttery and laggy on many configs without ssd, and since 4 had a shift in audience to teenage girls with low end laptops they dropped it and went for worse than TS2 worlds

Sims 3 is the best sims in pretty much every regard.

You can try to run Sims 3 with all DLC, but some of them destroy the game entirely, making it stutter regardless of your pc, adding to save bloat and a bunch of other performance problems.
Mainly the Island dlc and Pets tho, those are the worst offenders.

So Sims 4 is still worse than TS2?

You can mitigate a lot of the stuttering by using a frame limiter on the game. It seems TS3 doesn't have any frame limiting on it by default, so your GPU is drawing thousands of useless frames all the time. I guess forcing vsync in your GPU settings for it might work too. Bandicam or rivatuner work well.

>even with NRAAS mods and the like

Nraas mods don't reduce the load in Sims 3, they increase it.

Who are you people that are still whining about performance problems for Sims 3 anyway? My computer from 2013 was running it with all but two DLC fine. No major performance issues. No stuttering. Most of the performance issues with the game don't come from the game itself, they come from poorly made worlds with constant routing failures. Bridgeport and Isla Paradiso are the worst offenders. Isla Paradiso is so bad it's basically unusable. But if you are running Sunset Valley or Twinbrook or something with all the DLC you really shouldn't be having any performance problems on a modern PC. You should even be able to dump a bunch of performance intensive nraas mods in there and still not have performance issues. All that leaves is the load times which are solved with an SSD.

Attached: 1550754813310.jpg (251x251, 19K)

Yes. It's called an SSD.

Even on good worlds, even on a good computer, it still likes to fucking stutter. Its not an FPS lag, or a performance issue. Shit just straight up freezes, clock freezes, shit gets wonky as fuck. And it doesn't take long for a save to just die because it can't handle the stress of its own file size, even with cache deletion and the like.

And even beyond that, going back to no multitasking, having to watch dogs spend 4 hours walking backwards around the house so they can interact with their owner, weird animations and potato faces, ugly as fuck outdoor lighting, etc, cannot do it my man.

If you work for NASA, sure.

No. That's why they ditched the large open areas for TS4.

>Even on good worlds, even on a good computer, it still likes to fucking stutter
On my mediocre PC it doesn't stutter at all. I don't know what to say.
>Shit just straight up freezes, clock freezes, shit gets wonky as fuck.
This is CPU bound shit. Are you multitasking the game with netflix and a browser and then wandering why you are having performance issues or something?
>And it doesn't take long for a save to just die because it can't handle the stress of its own file size, even with cache deletion and the like.
I don't know what your definition of "doesn't take long is" but generally speaking you should be getting several dozen generations, hundreds of hours on a save, before you start having issues.

I'm not going to say Sims 3 is flawless but modern hardware can handle it easily. The issue today is not performance, it's all the bugs in the game. It is strange to me that people really go after Sims 3 and make out as if none of this was an issue for Sims 2. Sims 2 absolutely had major performance and corruption issues. In fact, I'd say Sims 2 is a lot more prone to save corruption than Sims 3 is. They did a pretty good job of making Sims 3 fault tolerant. When one thing goes wrong somewhere in Sims 3 it generally doesn't nuke your entire neighborhood but that was often what happened in Sims 2.
