that's weird it was so hated :( i guess i don't pay much attention to that sort of thing and thought it seemed fun. although, i was late to the sims 3 party because i was still loving sims 2 and wanted to wait until i was totally bored with 2 before getting 3. fortunately, my mom, brother and two of my aunts love sims and between them all we had all the expansion packs [yes] it wasn't very spendy at all! and that's usually my concern

Bearzy 10-15-2015 07:59 AM

Oh man, yeah the cost is so much. Before it all turned digital I used to split the cost of expansions with a friend and we'd get one copy of each between us. Brought the price way down.

Linnea 10-16-2015 01:43 AM

yea that's a good idea! see, my family would just buy the ones they liked and i'd download their copies and buy the ones they didn't care about/want to buy. it worked out very cheap for me. i spent a lot of time getting most of sims 3 and while down loading the fast lane expansion pack something happened and it ruined my entire game so allll the hours spent was sent right down the crapper. i put the game up for a verrrry long while and my brother got me a very interesting and very compressed file of all the sims 3 games that takes less memory. so far so good and the only thing that makes it go a little wonky is if there are two many sims in one household. -_- it makes the time freeze

Bearzy 10-16-2015 07:55 AM

Ah that is fair. I run mac, and it's pretty hard to find downloads of games that actually work on mac, because gamers don't use it. (For good reason, really. This is why I primarily use consoles, the sims is an exeption)

Linnea 10-17-2015 02:55 PM

ah yes i've heard that too. is it just because it's built for other things and doesn't pack the same punch/equipment for gaming?

Bearzy 10-18-2015 02:51 AM

Well it's more that Macs are basically uneditable. You can't improve the graphics card, or the cooling, or anything. What you've got is all you've got. So for gaming they would become outmoded so quickly as games get better. Also, a lot of games just aren't released for it. It's frustrating at times but honestly I use it almost entirely because of how nice the keyboard is for typing. Very well spaced for touch typing.

Linnea 10-18-2015 03:25 AM

also i hear it's good for music and producing things as well. oh well. it's good you have other consoles so you don't miss out!

I love playing the sims! I play the sims 3 on my xbox360, and I have the sims 4 on my laptop. Sadly because of college and homework, I haven't been able to play the games anymore. I do hope to play it once the semester is over though. I miss playing the games. I mist say, the way the sims dance in the sims 4 is adorable! xD

Bearzy 10-18-2015 08:45 AM

Hey goddess! Are you excited for the dance skill coming with Get Together?

Evergreen Goddess 10-18-2015 05:19 PM

There's a dance skill coming with that? o . o
That's really neato! :D I'm excited now yes!

Bearzy 10-19-2015 01:26 AM

Yeah! And the clubs can have Dance Offs with rivals. I am so pumped.

Linnea 10-19-2015 01:45 AM

wait, what is this now? does it have to do with sims 4?

Evergreen Goddess 10-19-2015 01:51 AM

Bearzy that sounds so freakin' awesome! xD

Yeah Get Together is the next Sims 4 expansion. It's coming out in December.

Velvet 10-20-2015 12:34 AM

World Adventures and Island Paradise are wonderful expanions. So is the Supernatural one. :)

Linnea 10-20-2015 01:17 AM

oh i haven't heard of this one, bearzy! that sounds really interesting! i'll have to ask my mom if she is getting it!

velvet, i love those ones too! there are so many more supernatural things you can be and do and i love exploring!

Velvet 10-20-2015 02:21 AM

I know I was a bit.. random with my last post. XD But yuuuuss. Did you choose any supernatural species as your sim? I like being a witch.. or a hybrid. With the right mod you can be a hybrid and I thought that was pretty cool.

Linnea 10-20-2015 02:53 AM

ooo a hybrid? that's fun! i don't get any of the mods, i guess i just don't know how and because i like the games as is, i don't feel like learning [lol]

i always try to have a household of everything so i can try it all. the fairy one is fun, and so is the vampires and witches. i'm not a huge fan of werewolves though for some reason. oh and it's from different packs, and thus technically not 'supernatural' but i like being a mermaid as it's fun exploring underwater as well as being a plant sim [yes] am i missing anything?

Bearzy 10-20-2015 05:39 AM

I really liked the mermaids as well Lin. And witches! The first time I played supernatural I thought you were supposed to kill the zombies tho, so I shot the hell out of them with spells all night... Finally got the hang of just walling off my vege patch EVENTUALLY.

Linnea 10-20-2015 11:35 PM

yea those dang things don't leave your garden thingys alone [illgetu]

Bearzy 10-21-2015 02:58 AM

I started building houses that had back doors that led directly into a walled off garden.

Linnea 10-21-2015 09:31 PM

haha yea me too. i always preferred the iron fences with the matching gates and locked them up [lol] silly zombies

i need another binge session soon. it's been a while but it makes my lap top a bit warm

Bearzy 10-21-2015 10:39 PM

Hilariously, my laptop overheats less with Sims 4 than it did with Sims 3. It's probably because it's not running so many expansions but it still entertains me because I expected the opposite.

Linnea 10-22-2015 12:18 AM

ah yes i suppose that makes sense as it has so much less [lol]

Bearzy 10-22-2015 01:59 AM

Well when you put it like that it sounds like a bad thing...
