Sims 3: I'm tired and quit

BlogAuthor: Stjarna777Published: Jun 12, 2009Views: 1482

There's one saying, which I often hear from Russian people - no words, only emotions. And that's exactly my opinion about Sims 3. I didn't expect much from it, but what I saw was a complete disaster.

Well, first - quick enumeration of good things. There were some good floors, and I have re-made them for Sims 2. There were some nice flowers, too, but unfortunately I have no idea how to convert them. If someone can get me in the right direction, I would be really grateful! Furthermore, the landscapes are told to be not bad, but my videocard was not designed for them :(

And now - about all the rest. They told us about Create-A-Style tool. Dunno. I wasn't able to pick the purple colour. Don't say I'm obsessed, I know this. Still, I play Sims2 on the same hardware - and all these things show up, with different shades of purple, violet, lilac and what not. So it's not my PC to be blamed. They told is about Sims' IQ. How does it show, I wonder? In respawning babies without parents? In removing your families from the town? They told about traits of character. Dunno. No difference, at all. Their faces are still so strange, I would even say - stupid - with these masks, showing-something-I-don't understand. And why are they so rounded, I want to know? Hey, and where is a pair of bones in male's bodies? And why the head is so unusually big? In other words, where is a sense of style? Furthermore, we were told about open neighbourhood. Well, I didn't see much use of it, but what actually is in a game - it's a shit. Sorry. Have no other words for half of a city being rabbit holes. Furthermore, why load the tutorial in the beginning? Are we that stupid that we don't know what to do with our simmies when it is Sims 3 already? Aa, forgot - what the **** do I need a video ( and it seems that not only one video ) in the beginning of every play? And the camera seems so strange - it jumps %) Furthermore, why do we need Sims' favourite food, music and colour? It has nothing to do with their everyday wants.

Well, now I'm tired. Stopping this. I gonna load my good old Sims 2.

I am sticking with sims2 for a long time... I understand your frustration about sims3!  I've read plenty of stories about how sims3 has not measured up in alot of different ways.  What good is a sunset on a horizon when that is NOT the focus of the game..? $\:rolleyes$ :
I, too, do NOT like the way the sims in 3 look (they all look like babies)... especially when I've downloaded <em>everything</em> to make my sims2 look gorgeous (why would I want to start all over again..?).  What is with the male facial hair anyway???  It all looks horribly alien to me... bleh... which is why I'll be playing my sims2 for a long time to come!
I appreciate your input about sims3... it just strengthens my doubts about the new game!  $\;\)$ ~weezy~

I don't know how far you went into "Create a Sim" but I found, through trial and error, that on top of the little screen their faces are showcased there are two tabs.  If you hit the tab on the top right it takes you to an advanced stage and this is where you can make your Sims face thinner, play more with the eyes, nose, mouth, everything.  You can make them not look like the pumpkin heads that they first are.   I agree, Sims 3 looks a lot different, but I've played it for a bit now to make sure I gave it a fair shot and it's growing on me.  Don't give up yet.
