leonarda Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I know I'm horrible 'cus this is not suppose to be a healthy activity and all, but... I'm no fan of PC games, but I love Sims, these little virtual people, and can't wait for new edition to come out in september. Here, I admited it!WARNING, POSSIBLE TRIGGER****************************************They stir my imagination and I love making up, so I enjoy building all the houses and leading their lives, controling them, planning life paths...It's much easier than to go out and live a real life of your own :(. But then again, I feel good playing them and they make me laugh, so that's a good thing, right? *****************************************END OF TRIGGERAnyone else?

leonarda Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Sims are sort of virtual people. You choose a body and a face and their astro sign and then you move them into a house, which you can build or purchase and they have to get a job and they have relationships and babies and they can go downtown, on holidays, to the pet store, on a date etc. New edition in september will enable simsies to grow and get old and die from old age . And they'll have ''genetics'' and you'll be able to influence their development, for example, if you'll make them watch tv all the time, they'll became obese and lazy etc.It's a simulation, I believe! You control the game with your mouse, whch is great for me, 'cus I sort of suck in games which involve hundreds of keyboard keys. :wave: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Leo, theres nothing wrong with liking the Sims. Did you know it's currently the #1 selling PC game of all time? The previous title holder was Myst - an adventure game released in 1993. The base game has sold over 6 million units, and the game and all its expansions have a combined total of over 13 million sales worldwide. It's also managed to crack the elusive female market, with 50-60% of its fans being women (many people attribute this to its success). So its not suprising you really like the game. My mom and sister are total fanatics! They've got the game and every expansion, and they play it almost daily. Heck, they used to fight over the computer just to play Sims They're both pumped over the sequel too, but they'll need a new computer to play it (and they keep asking if i'll build one for them :D ).So no worries... the Sims is as close to mainstream as computer games get right now ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonarda Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 So I'm not alone? Phew! :) Solstice, thanks for the info! My sister and I are sort of hooked too, but currently without sims on PC, waiting for that nr2 to come! (We used do fight some over the computer, too).Mmf, I played roller coaster tycoon too and school tycoon and a few of other tycoons but the sims remain my favourite.If you get them (and if I get them) we could exchange notes on what's going on with our simsies :;): ? :wave: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guppy Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Leo,I love the sims. I have it on ps2. I love building grand houses. I put in cheat codes so i have unlimited money and all the things are unlocked. Too much funICI also love mario cart and yoshi and all those characters.I'm just a game junkie, i have psone, PS2 and gameboy cause i love to play games. I think instead of 31 my age should be 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonarda Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Guppy, I cheat too ! I always promise myself I wouldn't but then I go and do it. Always. Maybe we could exchange some cheat codes ! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonarda Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Wait a minute...Guppy if you get to reverse your age and if I decide to reverse it too, then I'd be like 52, 62... ??? Not good at all for tracking an excuse to play games in my case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inner chaos Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 if that is the case, then i would be 32, that does not seem fair, ??? you can put in cheat codes?? ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonarda Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Yes, you can,IC ....You start of with like 20.000$ for a sim/family and you have to build them a house, food, etc. Then they have to get a job and move slowly up the latter in order to earn more money. You can then buy better stuff for them.If you put in a cheat code you can go right to buying them all the nicest things. I only use code for the money, but I believe there are others, like ''never miss a job'' etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
