Yes I like spending money on a game if it's going to keep me entertained for a while

sims 2 and Open for business is a personal fave
there are too many to choose from but these two i like youtube.com/watch?v=8gGHQicQUw4 youtube.com/watch?v=F2MFv2xe8yQ

2 is my favourite game and soundtrack for nostalgiafag reasons among others.

4 is okay, worth pirating with all the content i suppose, though its laughable how many content packs there are yet theres still so little actual gameplay content in reality, besides alternate set dressings or little meme mechanics you wont utilize much or at all.
too bad sims went full blast with the dollhouse route and not ya know, the simulation aspect, instead of worthwhile mechanics that enhance the simulation itself they just shit out oml vampires and linear story/adventure packs with tiny 5 lot "neighborhoods".

Yep.
Just this morning I was playing a new legacy save, aged my starter's kids to young adult, couldn't think of a single worthwhile thing to do with them and quit the game to the point of considering uninstalling out of anger.

God damn I wish TS3 wasn't such an ugly piece of shit by comparison now.

You can't woo that

I can woo whatever I want.

TS4 only has literally a single fleshed out occult and it was literally released 2 years ago.
They don't even have Magic/Witches yet.
Despite already being on the 5 year old mark, whereas all other Sims games were complete by then.

Ahh, bo batatso batatsu...

You can't customize worlds in 4? Really?
What is that Death message from? Having Loser or Unlucky traits?

remember when you can import maps from Simcity to TS2?

>been playing The Sims 2 for the very first time
>only played 1, 3 & 4. 3 being my favorite
>Sims seem more lifelike, have realistic animations whenever they're doing an action
>Sims will actually open the car door, get in the car, put on their seat belt, and drive away
>Sims will actually push the power button on their computers, open the CD-Rom drive, put in a CD, close the drive, and play the game
>playing at 1440p the graphics still look amazing for a 15 year old game
>textures on various buy mode items absolutely shits all over Sims 4 textures
I still like 4 to some extent but the previous games really blow it out of the water.

You cannot add or remove world props like rocks, trees etc
Fucking TS2 had it already.
And yes, you cannot create new worlds.

That's because 2 was the last game actually made by Maxis, thefore it's filled with SOUL and it shows on the animations, from simple as fuck things like
>sim oders pizza
>pizza actually has steam above it
>whenever any of the sims grabs a slice, the pizza model gets a slice removed
Reminde this minimal and simple as fuck thing doesn't exist in 3 and 4.
However, 3 at least tried to go the distance with Open World which is great, tech aside, and has a fuckton of content.
4 on the other hand is just... there. People try to give it freebie points for having good looking sims but there's all there is to it.

Is it true that 4 has no cars and no burglar?

it's an expansion for the sims 2 that lets you open you own business you can hire and fire people or make your own little shop that you can maintain and sell whatever you want it's really good and has a lot of features added to it. shame the later games never really got to the level of OFB

Attached: 71162_back.jpg (640x913, 147K)

Yes.

>4 is just there
Just say it, 4 had to remove all the live fancy life simulation concept so it can be packaged into mobile game.

Tab, Q and E for up and down.

Sims 1 and Sims 2 are intensely nostalgic to me, though for Sims 2 it's only nostalgic up till Seasons which is when I stopped buying expansion packs. I did buy Sims 3 though, but only the base game.

Gotta get the teenage girls and middle aged housewives with low end laptops audience as well

Cars are not a big loss since they're pretty meaningless items you barely see, but burglars not being there is pretty disappointing.

Sims 4 is superior to every title before it, anyone still saying otherwise is in complete denial.

Reminder there are tons of things that have been requested for years such as Magic/University/more occults yet TS4 devs have the gall to do a literallywho random no replay value GP instead

4 is way better

I remember being so fucking excited for elevators.

You're the only one in denial here. Go back to jacking off to your glorified porn game.

>install any sims game
>spend 3/4 of the time downloading/managing mods

I remember seeing fellas who changed some of the base worlds in 4 to be more palpable. But all I ever wanted is the ability to add more lots.

There's a mod to design the workplace of different careers and have schools it was novel for a bit.

I wish cooking, fishing, and gardening were overhauled to be more complex and fun, this game has so many fucking possibilities it feels squandered and my soul turns into dust after a few hours of gameplay.

The only real joy I get is the creative process and set up for shit. Moments like making a vampire the masquerade themed nightclub and creating a vampire club that frequents it with get together, also added lot traits to attract vamp sims. Made several "clubs" that were clans like Ventrue, Nosferatu etc. Had to install that fucking mod where vamps are immune to sunlight since everyone dying started to piss me off. All the setup and after literally 20 minutes of playing it already bored me since deep down its all just artifice.

oh and what the fuck is up with how ea generates townies they always look like horrendous eyesores in my town.

Yeah and you can't have roommates without a mod. I miss the apartment life system in 2. tfw can't make trailer parks filled with rednecks anymore

Attached: simsguide.jpg (2160x3840, 2.89M)

I wanna try installing Sims 2 from this guide at some point, though downloading a 6+ gig thing off Mega is a bit daunting.

Boring girl game

fair enough, i just meant they usually focus on gimmicky shit instead of fleshing out the core family game.

Depends how you play it. Men tend to play it to build cool shit and build a successful life for their Sims
Women tend to play it as a dollhouse and start relationship drama and have sims cheat on eachother and whatever. Most expansions and Sims releases target the latter audience over the former.
And then there's /tsg/ fags who only play the game to jerk off.

Attached: lab.png (239x648, 153K)

Depends, I think 3 is better if you want actual gameplay like sex-related careers and stuff. 4 is good just for watching porn. There's a mod where you can be a prostitute but all you do is put on an outfit and go somewhere and then people hit you up for sex and you make a boatload of cash.

ill be forever butthurt they relegated business simulation to a shallow side feature in 3/4

here's a little tip that still works but requires origin. you can get the sims 2 ultimate edition for free if you contact support about it, you just have to have a legal sims 2 case code. if you need one I have some cases

I find playing the game it's meant to be played living by work paychecks week to week to be incredibly difficult, especially in the Sims 1.
You don't even get days off in the original. It's soul crushing.

This. Playing it legit is pretty fun and taking your time to unlock rewards and shit.

They stopped the code support few months ago

Thank fuck Sims 2 introduced off days. Makes having a job so much less soul destroying then in Sims 1.

what made the sims 1 worse was the constant needs, you never had time to do anything, when you got off work everything would be so low buy the time you fill it up it's time for bed and work in a few hours

The Social and Room stats in Sims 1 were the worst. I made my solo sim families complete introverts just because I didn't want to deal with the Social bar going down so fucking fast all the time.

What are some must-have mods for 4?
I want mostly gameplay stuff, something that makes careers better and gives you unique actions. I wanna sneak into other sims' houses at night and rob them manually.

Attached: 1519386724781.jpg (861x768, 124K)

Shit ton of DLC and milking of the core game.
Slight graphics improvements each gen, but nothing crazy.

Sims 4 is crazy SJW junk, too.

i miss playing the sims 2.

it was honestly great.

>no burglars on sims 4
No wonder it feels so soulless

It was such an improvement to 1 in pretty much every gameplay sense. Loved it to bits.

Vanilla is all you really need. Kleptomaniac as a trait allows you to rob other people.

post your sims fags, mines my dnd party

Attached: Screenshot-123.jpg (1920x1080, 1.38M)

There are no mods for sneaking into houses, but you can force open doors with Vampire skills, allowing you to enter someones house without knocking or being given entrance.

As for robbing, Kleptomaniac trait lets you steal items, and the more Mischief skill you have, the larger the items you can steal.

One of the only real ways I've had fun in TS4 was making a klepto who stole shit and sold it in a small pawn store.

The porn mods made me genuinelly enjoy the game and I keep coming back to it from time to time. The updates really made it better but I still can't forget the sims 3.

I was going to get Whicked Whims I just don't want to go down the rabbit hole and spend days getting animation packs and required complementary mods and all that shit.

Is there a way to just get WW and like, a nude sim overhaul and be done with it?

>And then there's /tsg/ fags who only play the game to jerk off.
Don't forget to avatar fag too
I popped in to check it out and there's one guy with an obnoxious red skined alien

Where's a good place to download sims and families into 4?

The thing I most hate about sims is having to make all the families and move them in and shit. I want a lot of random and different sims but I don't want to spend hours and hours making them.

It's not that hard, most of the mods are just drag and drop and animation packs already have tons of animations in them so you only really need a couple of them

I love Sims 2 free time.
love the feature where i can paint any picture from my PC, so there's no need to mod anymore and i can have a house full of porn

for the time 2 was released i was already burned with all the expansions packs

They're all worthwhile if you don't buy them, but if you have to buy them then focus on the primary expansions. They're all good. Just don't buy any of those toddler stuff packs. Toddlers are a fucking micro managing nightmare in Sims 4.

Did you make the castle yourself or was it part of the map? I love decorating houses but I'm awful at actually designing them.

I do all 3.

Toddlers are terrible. I had twins when I played it a couple of months ago and everything was put on hold for those little shits. My Sims worked at home so I had a lot of money saved up, but fuck that. I switched back to my previous backup save before having toddlers, I'm not touching them ever again.

Remember that this is the series that made a title exclusively for black people.
