Thread 11969091

What the fuck am I actually supposed to "do" in this game?

1. Create a lesbian couple
2. Have them do woohoo in a hot tub
3. Fap

I just kind of made getting promotions my goal
A good goal might be to get enough money to move into that big mansion, I never got that far

It's an automated dollhouse game, you put your sims in silly situations and watch what happens

>>11969091 (OP)
Get a wife, work on her getting a well paying job, have fun all day with her money while she's miserable

Same as irl

>>11969145
You aren't getting a wife irl as a broke bum who mooches off of women

lock your sim between 4 walls, watch it starve to death and uninstall the game

I made a black widow character back in the day. She would marry someone and take their money then kill them.

>>11969091 (OP)
Have your family go for a swim and remove the ladder

>>11969091 (OP)
In the console version's story mode you move onto new homes as you complete simple objectives. You start out living with mom, move to a fixer upper, then move in with a roomie, then move in with a girlfriend, and after you get married you move onto a mansion and have kids.

Try Sims 1 or Bustin' Out on consoles. They're pretty much Sims 1 but in 3D and with a story mode.

>>11969091 (OP)
You had to be there. Watching your Sims in SimCity 1 as little black dots in some buildings, small people in SimCity 3000 walking over the streets, and them finally getting inside their houses while they're taking a dump after drinking coffee was blasting. The first The Sims without expansion has the perfect atmosphere for the first player base - SimCity tards. With the first piece of shit expansion, we got fucked and replaced by women and faggots playing The Sims.

>>11969176
Kek, you're in every Sims thread crying about the expansions. Sims 2 is the best game in the series btw

I don't know why I found playing as a middle-aged deadbeat working a 9-to-5 as a 9-year-old enjoyable. Weird when I think about it.

Make someone you hate IRL or something, and have them die in game

>>11969182
Based

you're supposed to play the Urbz and get on welfare while avoiding prison

>>11969182
>4chan is one person
Will Wright was busy with The Sims Online, Living Large changed the game's tone adding bullshit like zombies and the genie. Fuck off, faggot.

It's a dollhouse, OP. Play normally and climb a job ladder earning money to buy things and making friends/lovers. Play with cheats and just buy all the best stuff and build a dream house. Do what you want, that's why it's so popular.

>>11969393
>>4chan is one person
No, but you are, and you make the same autistic posts about the expansions in every thread. You've done this so often that you're identifiable on an anonymous image board.

I always played as a single character, never liked having to manage a whole family. Probably not the right way to play, but I had fun.

I always tried to make a haunted house by killing as many Sims in different ways.

Don't play this retarded shit, play the console version instead, it has 3D graphics and a real story mode that plays like a tactical RPG. Come back to the gay PC version if you want to just do sandbox shit because the console version sucks for that. Furthermore, the holocaust never happened.

>>11969091 (OP)
Set challenges for yourself, like "can't own a stove or microwave," or "can't remove trash from the yard," and see how far you can get.

>>11969091 (OP)
Luck

>>11969091 (OP)
Read books, work, call people, spend money.

It's a sandbox game, a simulation game if you will. It's fun to just make shit and see what happens.

>>11969152
I am. With my BIG DICK

>>11969091 (OP)
get the makin magic expansion and make fun magic stuff and visit the magic world

>>11969091 (OP)
make yourself as a kid with your parents in the game except they love you and watch yourself grow up with the life you should have had where they both loved you

>>11969091 (OP)
I liked trying to make the minimum amount of house possible to still keep everything running properly and everyone able to grind promotions quickly with a full sized clan. I played it kind of like it was Factorio.

>>11970325
Are you okay, anon?

>>11970325
>grow up
I thought that was sims 2

Old school games require you to use your imagination. It should be objective base. You give yourself a task or two to work towards and as you're doing that, more ideas will follow.

>>11969169
>Sims 1 or Bustin' Out
I don't think they have equivalents to the pc sims dlc though.

>>11970364
Seems lazy on the devs part tho

>>11969152
I know not one but two people who have done this, granted they still work but one is a part time baker and the other is a shelf stocks at wal mart. Meanwhiles their wives work some retardedly high paying job their dad's got them or something.

>>11970325
When I played Sims 2 for the first time, I created my family with me as a kid. I didn't know how to play, so very soon my sim got absolutely miserable and child services arrived and took me away from my parents

>>11969091 (OP)
spend money to make money.
when you're just starting out, your sims will mostly be fucking miserable. you get them a job and realize your furniture is too cheap to keep them happy and energized enough to perform well. so you micromanage them to make sure all their needs are met halfway and save all their mcdonald's paychecks to upgrade their furniture, and suddenly they're happy enough to get promotions.
once you're across that hurdle it's more or less just a dollhouse. the way there is really stressful though, as sims have a tendency of making themselves more miserable or getting themselves killed if you don't micromanage them.

>>11971905
btw this only really applies to the base game. the expansions added a whole bunch of stuff that makes "survival" trivial and shifts the focus to other stuff like being wizards n shit.

>>11969091 (OP)
>remove the stairs when SIMs are inside the pool
>remove doors when the house is on fire

Let me guess, you want more?

I'm glad this shit series died

>>11971949
it never died, it's just exclusively a normalfag series now.

>>11969098
For me it's the Sims 2, had the hottest makeout animations

>>11971949
>only cares about how a game is perceived and not the content
/v/ is down the hall

>>11971949
Sims has a pretty large loyal fanbase of women mostly. I'm sure a lot of people would've been happy to play Sims 5, but EA said that they won't release it. Normies wouldn't have cared about Animal Crossing if New Leaf was the last entry in the series and New Horizons didn't come out.

>>11969091 (OP)
its a fucking dollhouse
wtf do you mean?
you play with your dollys in it

>>11971949
You're deeply retarded.

This nigga doesnt know how to Sims

>>11971949
Not your thread Cubetard

Who knows

>>11970364
nah The Sims was pointless bullshit for women on day 1

>>11972801
Nah, it was created out of the masculine interest of simulationism and detailed scale models. It was supposed to get folded back into simcity.

How about Urbz: sims in the city any thoughts?

>>11971949
Harvest Moon got like 8 sequels. It's called Rune Factory now.

>>11972801
this. at least bustin' out and the urbz had proper story modes.

Instead of going on that Barry Lyndon time you get a good job as well and never have to worry about shit.

Build dungeons and death traps. That's what my friends and I did.

>>11970457
There's no cheese. And you're all out of crackers. You don't have any money to buy more. Or even a way to get somewhere to find any. Your dog is a figment of your shadow self and every adventure you ever had is just your disassociation distracting you from facing the crushing reality before you.
And deep down you know. You've chosen this path that lead you here.

>>11971754
Based guys, they have marriage security. Can't hate on it.

You have to be a child, woman, or gay to enjoy it. Kinda like Animal Crossing. Don't worry about it.

>>11976560
Every accusation is a concession. Get creative and make a haunted house.

>>11969091 (OP)
If you don't see a reason to play The Sims games on PC, you should be playing the console versions.
Various objectives and has 100% tracker (for completionists).

Playing The Sims on PC in 2001 was magical. You had to be there to understand.
Need a naive and clueless mind to understand how especial this game was.

Swearing

The Sims 1? actually have a challenging time managing needs, earning/budgeting money, getting new items.

compared to the sequels it was actually a GAME.

>>11978536
But you can mod in Batman and the super friends into the pc version!

>>11978536
How do you release an entire game around sims 2 pets?

>>11970325
I wasn't ready for this feel.

>Living Large changed the game's tone adding bullshit like zombies and the genie.
Nah. Even as a kid, that was my favourite part of the game. I don't get why anons hate it so much.

For me, the game tone was ruined in Hot Date and Superstar as it became so women focused.

The way we used to play it in middle school was have teams and see who could built the coolest house

>>11979384
>I don't get why anons hate it so much.
They don't. Just contrarians.

What do I do if I'm a person that wants to play this game but one expansion at a time and not be bombarded with magic and crazy shit from the start?

>>11979384
I completely lost interest when Unleashed released.

>>11979414
Just install one expansion at a time? Why did you even ask that question when you knew the answer?

>>11969098
1. Create a lesbian couple
2. Have them woohoo in the heart bed
3. move_objects on
4. Delete bed
5. Mom walks in

My condolences, anon

>>11981539
To be fair I doubt it would install fine on windows 10 either. Gay legacy version not withstanding.

>>11981671
Installs fine on my Windows 10. Most of the issues people report with W10 involve not being able to boot from the official exe because it includes DRM which is no longer supported. A simple no-CD exe will fix that.

>>11981413
The complete edition is probably way more compatible with modern operating systems. Can't you find a PC for free to play these games? It's not like you need powerful period specific hardware to play it.

>>11969098

I wonder how many times Bella Goth has committed infidelity throughout all of the Sims playthroughs combined.

Pretty sure the build menu is disabled during a fire.

BASED

The Sims 1 was like a 90s sitcom such as Seinfeld and Married with Children. It had kino aesthetics and was relatively gender neutral. A game for everyone.

Then the Sims 2 came out and it was like Nickelodeon’s Drake and Josh and very gay and teen-coded. That’s when the franchise felt like a girl’s game. Hell, half of the clothing options were like Abercrombie and Fitch with SANDALS with bootcut jeans.

>Original fanbase
People who grew up with SimCity. People who liked to push AI/scripts to the limits just to see what would happen. People who liked to critically think.

>Current fanbase for newer sequels
BPD-ridden girls, trannies, and pedos.
