How did they get away with an illegal alien on the cover?

I feel nostalgia from this games soundtrack even though ive never played the sims

>>712607051 (OP)
should I play this game to insert myself as a government glowie and then impregnate and have a family with an alien woman?

Best Sims game ever. The spin offs were great too.

>>712607051 (OP)
the series really peaked here

>>712607051 (OP)
My sister still plays the sims 2 because she didn't like the 3rd and especially the 4th games.

For me it was the Urbz

Reminder that Sims 2 is woke because it has M-preg

>>712607051 (OP)
I like sims 3 more

>>712614167
Intent matters. It's because it was funny, not because it was "inclusive".

Sex with Felicity

>>712614167
do they give birth through the dickhole

Sex with Ava Cadavra

It's like saying Ace Ventura is woke because it has a tranny

Let's see
>female audience focus (but not 100% female yet like the sims 4 or that one that's like playing as miis)
>mpreg
>depicts different races (3?) and allows for racemixing
>LGB
>raising fur babies instead of a family is an entire expansion
>asexual plant people
but
>nuclear and intergenerational family playstyle
>family tree is a mechanic
>you play better if one parent doesn't have a job (and don't risk your child being sent to the orphanage)
>lifetime wants include having a lot of children and a happy marriage (though fooling around is on there too)
>no T, no Q, no I, no +
>no flags, at all
>written satire of real world work and consumer products
>no pessimism nor antagonism, no dislike of the game's audience
>races are skin deep: everyone has the same faces, the same hairstyles, it's just palette swaps
>belief in hard work (including education) and punishing failure, if you don't teach your toddlers they will grow up wrong, if you don't take care of your children you will lose them
>belief you can start with nothing and become something
>you need friends to get anywhere
>police and politician are careers
>business ownership is an entire expansion
>Male and Female
>no veganism, no vegetarianism

It's "woke" if you just want white maleness but it really can't be described as a "brown genderless queer utopia that seeks to be as offensive as possible to consumers".

>plant people
>asexual
I dunno about that, I fucked lots of plant girls back when I was playing.

>>712617640
Another reason why it's not woke!

>>712617640
for me it was the college cow

You just need to schedule the nanny to come, and there’s no risk.

No thanks.

comfiest expansion

I should pick it up again.

Dude, where's your pyramid?

>>712623454
Up on the hill, by the bridge.

I love Sims dearly but through all the years i just couldnt play it much because my brain resorts to autistic minmaxing every time.
Its not like im an aphantasiac autist either (Both were proven false), its just that i cant seem to detach from the "Spam artwork in your shitty house 24/7" gameplay loop no matter how i try, even if i start with the intent of "Lets make a retarded premise and play that out". It always falls down to the solved gameplay cheese, and thats the ONLY game i can remember where that happens, even though i play a lot of cheesefests.
I envy people who can make retarded playthroughs and stupid stories in this series and commit to them.

Where's the renewed interest? And no, that shitty classic port from EA doesn't count.

sims 5 is dead, sims 4 is forever and it's bad. people reminisce about the better times.

>>712623406
>apartment blocks in pleasantview
is this your own save or a custom download neighborhood

Sims 4 IS forever and you can thank women for that

>>712626820
My own save. I just put them out from the pre-built houses.
I like to have them when I move people back from college and have them climb in their career, while not worrying about building or buying stuff. And also for when some of them retire.

>>712627054
Here's Q3 2024
This garbage is earning on par with/even more than fresh AAA releases that sell millions at full price,
On par with/even more than hyper popular live service normie trash like League of Legends, Fortnite etc.

>>712627054
>>712627263
The worst thing is that it is TRIVIALLY easy to just download the free base game and then unlock all the DLC without paying a cent

This is the best the sims game ever created

Does anyone here have a copy of the My Abandonware file that got claimed after the shitty Steam remaster? I’ve also tried running Double Deluxe and the other collection release on Windows XP and can’t really get them to work.

>>712627873
i got a .zip from oldgamesdownload but it's, like, 7 GBs and I really don't wanna waste my time uploading it. sorry not sorry :)
