See this is why I am agnostic at best. If God does exist he or she would totally have drowned us all in pools, got bored, and turned us off by now.

Oh shit. I just realised - Noah's Ark. God totally drowned his Sims and then just abandoned the save after he got bored.

God help me I just got back into this.

My apartment is a historical landmark but also has a ghost.

[Mick]

Wait, which one are you playing?  

[apsham]

Yeah I realized that just after I posted this.

Picked up a console version of The Sims 4 because it was on sale this week.

[Mick]

Ah okay. 

I have been wanting to fire up my own game, though I'm stuck between the old Sims 2 vs Sims 3 debate. Sims 4 just....I'd play if it they just include the damn CAS tool  .

I was watching Giant Bomb's Deadly Sims series and got really into the idea of playing again - but the Sims 4 base game I owned probably wouldn't play all that nice on my Macbook and the Sims 2 ultimate collection that we all grabbed a few years back isn't compatible with Mac - you have to buy another version entirely that's in the App Store and a big meh to that.

I thought Sims 2 Ultimate Collection was like, legit free?  

[apsham]

It was - they were delisting it and offered it for free. But apparently for the Mac version, it was contracted out to some other studio who did MOST of the addons and charge for the full thing still.

[Benji]

God damnit, the thread is revived and now I have to play again.

[apsham]

Success!

Sims 4's creator is just so good aside from the one hiccup about missing create-a-style, I'll occasionally dip into it when I want to do character design work or something for a story. Little things like not gendering the clothes is a good touch even if it for some reason fucks up some of them.

The rest of the game... I don't like managing moods and such but maybe that's playing so much 3 that I've gotten comfortable with it?

[apsham]

One thing I noticed that's new from when I first played the Sims 4 is a little tab that asks you what pronouns you want the character to use, whether or not they can become pregnant or even if they can pee standing up.

[Meacon Keaton]

Which is odd, because everyone could pee standing up. It should ask you how much of a mess you make while peeing stood up.

Same. Fuck sakes.

I remember finishing my A levels four years ago and literally just binging Sims 2 for eight weeks. Those were the best times. 

I hate that I can’t get it to work on my new laptop.

One vivid Sims 2 memory comes from something I saw with a run my dad was doing. 

 

Basically, his Sim was just chilling playing computer games, while his toddler was just playing with that toy Bunny thing, in nothing but a diaper, complete with green stink cloud. 

 

In retrospect, kinda how I was raised  

[apsham]

Oh I met the ghost last night too - it's a boy ghost who just wants to use my computer and then leave.

Also, my girlfriend created a sim - I gave her the keys to my house and ALL day when I'm at work she comes into my apartment, drinks glasses of water and leaves them scattered around the place.

And what's the Sim up to?

That series was an absolute joy. I'm never falling down the Sims rabbit hole again personally but I still lived vicariously through every time Abby tried and failed to get Patrick to electrocute himself.

I'm officially old now, I have no idea what most of what the new Sims 4 expansion is about.

Meanwhile, in my Sims 3 Legacy Challenge:

Tommy...

 

How's the peeping?
