Yeah project zomboid was great

>Yea Forums is now too young to remember this was always a children/woman's game

"Soul" means "weird shit and baked in lighting/shadows" and that's okay.

it didn't go full dollhouse demographic until Sims 2, the earliest you could argue is maybe Superstar.

>children/woman's game
yeah I was a child playing it with my mom

>architectural planning is a woman job

>bob and betty don't own a stove
Can't tell if they're retarded or brilliant.

It's basically impossible to convey just what a HUGE deal the Sims for players back in the day. We saw the birth of something brand new that wasn't a city builder, real time tactics or a management game. It was a weird amalgam with simulation at its core.

why are the devs of that game turning it into stardew valley instead of expanding the zombie features

Survivalist faggots want everything to turn into a base shitting game.

game got popular on twitch so now they want to market towards more casual types of players, example being animals aren't going to be attacked by zombies because muh cute pets.

more like accidentally being the best rpg ever made

zombies attacking animals is retarded
What makes them not attack themselves then?

early 2000s, remember my brother bringing some friends over just so they could install The Sims on our computer, since we were the only household in the vicinity with one. funny stuff.

the music does wonders. to this day, my mom still recognizes the build mode tunes.

4 is more fun

Does this work on modern PCs without patch exorcisms?

Post a screenshot

I played it a couple years ago for a very brief time. It has horrible controls once you've been exposed to modern control schemes. For that fact alone I found it unplayable. It was fine at the time, but I couldn't handle it now.

Can post an entire 7 hour playthrough while you stay in your small studio set of a downgrade game

Now I understand why so many guys play Sims...

So they can add Jas!

The playable areas are bigger than that, mate.
Sure they're not as big as 3's empty, buggy ass maps, but it's a good compromise for stability.

runs fine but doesn't support higher resolutions

Nothing about 4 is fun. It's a disgrace of a game and that posed up screenshot makes it look way more interesting than it actually is.

>the only sims game not solely made for women
>best one in the series
Yeah I know most say sims 2 was the best but fuck them, fix the constant motive drain and 1 beats any of the others hands down. Also:
>no mental illness references or flags
>christmas tree is called what it is
>actual interesting item descriptions
>relationships are more dynamic, everyone isn't always 100% happy all the time
>less cartoony and less exaggerated mannerisms
>sims speak different and are much less repetitive than the modern iteration
>romantic interactions that aren't "safe space approved"
>fucking burglars

If you like building, it does have the best build mode.

user that's xenonauts

Anyone who actually wants to try and make 3 look good can if they set it up properly. I didn't even touch this girl, she's randomly generated and is still using basegame hair. It's all just my default mods and reshade.

>best build

Looks like Second Life.

>best build mode
>no spiral stairs
Yeah no.

You look like second life.

they look at each other and go "sup bro"

Yes.

True there'e no real spiral stairs but you can break up stairs better than in any other game

can I have both?

can you mod a torrented version of 3?

you can mod 'em all

Im pretty sure im an architect now because i played sims 20 years ago

Yes, big eyes so they look cartoony. It compliments the art style instead of tiny bird eye "realistic sims".

Of course

>naturally cute
>fake dolled up bimbo streamer what is that ass cute

Made in the 90s, backed by a singular madman designer with a really strong and unique vision, developed by a team that were working against a lot of outside pressure and doubt and EA, released at just the right time in early 2000 when it was still completely unique in its field but not considered graphically or mechanically out of date yet. Also an incredible sense of style, a biting satire to its text that was almost half-accidental and a killer soundtrack. Basically a perfect storm of variables.

who do I need to pay for this

It's the most convenient and easy to use, which is nice, but I wouldn't say it's the best.

Bullshit. Every man played this too.

It has the most features and the best amount of content when comparing all games with all their expansions.

i wish the char on the left was black

I'm sure you do, Steinberg.

At first, they at least tried to make a simulation game instead of a DLC vending machine with a game attached

you now remember simsville was cancelled

is sims 1 worth playing if i've already played sims 2, 3 and 4?

Yes.
