    bills would have to be ridiculously high (im just gonna pull like 45% outta my ass) for my Gary Sue sim to even feel it


    hes making §1,054 per HOUR as a world renowned surgeon (also, he lost his beeper for some reason, which means he never gets called in at odd hours), plus he owns a few businesses


    this guy prints money

    The renaming feature is the best thing in this game. My main guy is an ex rockstar who turned politician and now lives off the royalties of his books. He's all kind and nice and dignified and shit. His romance books are called "Wet Cunt" "The Gashening" "Put It In" "A Fist To Build A Dream On" and his political manifesto "Why I'm So Great, by Bob "Big Cock" Stevens"


    i lol'd a good while at that one :D

    It's fun to then forget about them and take a Sim from a different household to the bookstore and have the option to buy "Gag On It"

    My problem with the Sims is that I only ever play as one family. I invest so much into them that I don't want them to die and I don't want to play as someone else.

    I should just take the plunge, turn on ageing, crank up the average lifespan and make some other families.

    Leave aging off and give your sims a birthday cake when you want them to get older.

    Well, I think you need aging on to get past the infant age stage.

    Nah you can do it for any Sim (even Sims not even in your household, I think) at any age.

    But I do kind of want to turn ageing on anyway.

    If I turn ageing on and don't introduce any new families, will everyone eventually die and leave the town unpopulated or does it introduce randomly generated Sims?

    There are a whole host of sims that wander through town that don't actually have lots. I don't think you will run out of sims.

    So I created a Sim with Athletic, friendly, party animal, brave and daredevil. All the actions are extreme actions.

    I clicked the shower and was prompted to take an extreme shower until extremely clean.

    So I washed the sink, and afterward the sim threw up his hands and went "Woo!" on the way over to the TV.

    I prefer turning off aging and using that testingcheats or whatever to manually control it
    peace out babies and toddlers
    two days is enough for you, jerks.

    Also the reason i started is because suddenly me and my wife were a day away from turning into old people. Just as we had kids. Ugh

    News on the first Sims 3 expansion has surfaced.
    Gametrailers.com wrote:
    Well that didn’t take very long did it? EA has announced The Sims 3 World Adventures, the inevitable first expansion to The Sims 3, will be hitting shelves worldwide November 16, 2009.

    General Manager of The Sims, Scott Evans, stated in EA’s press release that: “Players will be able to take their Sims on the adventure of a lifetime and explore lands outside of Sunset Valley and Riverview, pursue thrilling new life destinies in locations around the world inspired by famous destinations, and immerse themselves in the open-ended gameplay where they’ll discover new cities in China, France, and Egypt, and share new stories.”

    In the expansion the player’s Sims will be able to “search for secret treasures, learn new skills and chase down new personal opportunities, meet new Sims with unique personalities” along being able to film or photograph everything your Sim does in game to share with friend.

    On top of that (oh yes there’s more) players will receive 1000 SimPoints to use in The Sims 3 Store and exclusive online content available at launch.

    But don’t fret iPhone and iPod Touch users, your expansion will be coming in early 2010 so you can take your Sims to China (or wherever the hell ya wanna go) anytime!

    yeah considering that you can sometimes get the lifetime wish to pop up to travel outside of the city I imagine the only thing thats not already in the game from this new stuff is a few new items and the new cities.

    Apparently one of the features is that you can go to someone else's country, unearth an artifact, and then berate the locals- all in one fell swoop!

    I figured I'd ask here instead of making a new thread about it but I'm looking to buy this new laptop, an Inspiron 15 from dell (I'm on a tight budget and it's offering the laptop for $499) and I'm wondering if the graphics card (an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD) will play the game smoothly.

    I keep hearing its more recent than the other graphics cards that can play the sims 3 and hence won't work as well but I think that if its a new graphics card it'd show the graphics better?

    Also I think the expansion looks rad and the bitching about it is basically just a repeat of when they started churning out expansions for The Sims 2.

    Mori I feel so betrayed. No pacman house where is my sad violin

    I am actually quite surprised i thought this would be able to play this for years without getting tired of it, but all this keeping up with like 9000 people made me sick of it pretty quick

    For those of you who don't remember, it's the blog of a guy playing a homeless family in the Sim 3. Humourous stuff.
