SIM's Fans Out There?

[Haddas]

I have The Sims +
1) Living Large
2) House Party
3) Hot Date

I personally make a family made of a Dad and a really UGLY and utterly EVIL kid. He would then tease the father and yell at him all the time

I also like making a famiily with 1 dad 2 moms and 1 kid. Then I put them all in one room without exiits or stuff. You wanna know what happens before they die? The guy starts shouting at the kid, the mom bitch-slaps the dad, the other mom bitch-slaps the dad, the mothers bitch-slap eatch other whilst the kid is screaming. Eventually people start pissing all over and the kid has to clean up whilst the parents fight.

I'm evil 8)...

P.S
Does anyone else find it disturbing that when a, as an example, geek gets picked on by a big musculous brute, the geek laughs, slaps the brute on the chin, and the brute starts weeping like there's no tomorrow?

Can someone please attempt to justfy to me how they managed to spend money on one of those fucking add-on packs?  Or even more than one (as some of you seem to have managed).  I mean, seriously; they just contain a few extra graphics/sounds and that's it. They'd be just about acceptable as freely downloadable patches, but for £20 (or $30 or however much they cost in la-la land) it's just inexcusable.

Don't get me wrong, the original game was fine as an expansion upon the whole Little Computer People idea, but EA and Maxis should be choked on their own shit for the way that they've milked it up to now.

Old Anglo Saxon Dictionary:  Sims, the [lat. sim,-us,m.] - An easy way to make a lot of money with minimum effort doing expansion packs

Well i remember when i got my sims... I actually remember reading this great review of a gaming magazine that got me to love the game, and while i was reading the review a friend called me and told me he's just installing them.
Anyway i'm full o them, and they started coming out of my ears with all those expansion packs, and i can't believe people are still buying them....
Allright you've got those 3 basic expansions, BUT SEVEN???!!!
Tho it comes to me once or twice a year to play them

I generally like the game... but things I hate...

Time... look at the time where you sim starts eating until they finish... on average my sim with the smallest meal takes 45 minutes to eat (and they barely get any food) If I eat for 45 minutes I can barely walk...

Trash... I have had a guy eat dinner right by the trashcan... and put the plate on the floor...

Arent they the most whiniest people ever... I mean... jesus... they dont watch enough TV and you would think they were dying... dont call someone on the phone, and they commit suicide (not really but I always wanted them to go into the bathroom and slit their wrists)...

Although... I did spend hours playing the game (BTW its fun getting child welfare to come take your kid then removing all the entraces to where the kid is...

My machine doesn't fit those specs.

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

Har, that is the stupidest thing Maxis could have done. One of the biggest selling points of The Sims was that it would run on any PC (my sister used to play it on a P233). By giving Sims 2 such high minimum specs, they've pretty much cut their audience in half. I doubt many middle-aged housewives and young children are gonna upgrade their PCs just to play that one game.

[Timosity]

I can't believe people play SIMS, I remember my sister was adicted to the game, I could just never get into it, The only sim type game I ever played was the original simcity, which I got over pretty quick, I just think life is better simulated in real life.

That's just my opinion, I just wondered why this thread was continually up the top.

[Ghormak]

I  just think life is better simulated in real life.

Of course it is, but in real life you don't make your kids go swimming in the pool and then remove any means of getting out of the pool once they're in it, do you?

[Oliver]

I played it a lot before...but then all the obj. and the game started to get boring. So I downloaded some obj. from the interet. Then it got a little more intresting again...
but now...I have it in my computer...but I don't play it


PS! I have never killed a SIMS...never wanted to do that

[Haddas]

but no one has a pc below 1GHz anymore anyways?

And by 'run' you mean 'crash'?

[AGA]

I played Sims for a few weeks and it never crashed. My sister plays it, and it never crashes. Maybe your PC just doesn't like it.

I swear, Dirrect X went up 5 versons just for The Sims.  Nwn has a minimum of verson 5, and what are they on now? Nine is it?

[Domino]

i know if i want to run the Sims 2, i would have to invest in a brand new computer.

What are the required specs for that game?

probably P4, 500+ MB of Ram, and i'm thinking a 64mb Video Card?

what are the exact specs?

BuffaloGamer, try reading the whole thread before posting

I made 4 rude,filthy, and mean ninjas that lived with an old man, which they locked in a closet with a chair, for days if they were watching TV

Then, they would let him out and they would follow a strict schedule:
Let man out
Beat him
Give him some 3 day old pizza (if he wants it)
Scare him
Let man shower
Beat him
Make man use potty while being watched
Beat man for not shitting
Make man do chores
Make man make dinner
Let him sleep on the ground
Wake hime up and beat him
And at about 4am we would send him back to the closet, he was a big day ahead of him.
Lounge

But after the man died, it was just a bunch of ninjas fighting and littering...not as fun.
(3 hours later)Wake man, then, beat him
Then it would start over

But there was so many restriction & designing flaws, it wasn't as cool as it could have been (You can't marry a chick if you live with them!?). For Example, My house burst into flames, I'm panicing, I kill my wife, then I start to put it out, then my baby was crying and a welfare worker takes it away because I neglect it :|...oh well, I'm bored of it now.

There was a thread near the back that DG started a while ago, this is from that
