women hate fashion these days
>women hate fashion these days
Bullshit. The universe will implode before women start hating fashion
women have always loved being fashionable while having absolutely no fashion sense
My girlfriend literally spends 4 hours a day trying on different dresses she has worn over a 100+ times to look at herself in the mirror constantly. Women are NEVER going to give up fashion.
It's akin to men starting to hate porn, just doesn't happen.
Those are trannies and ugly women pretending hot girls don't actually love playing dress up, they just cant because they are ugly so they made up that lie, not to mention people are poorer
Before wifes controlled the house, if they were hot they would go shopping and dressing themselves pretty

wtf is that velvet7?
I remember Ganker calling this a dollhouse simulator years ago and it's true
this, its probably the only game that is 99% females playing it any male that plays it is either a gay or just playing it for the coom mods
I play it for its true, original intended purpose:
Architect Simulator
>it any male that plays it is either a gay or just playing it for the coom mods
I'm a NEET in his 30's who has no life and the Sims 4 is the only outlet where I truly live my own fantasy life.
have you tried sucking dick? it might cure all your problems
Stop.
don't deny it. it's only fun to make fun of people who deny their homosexuality
Dude, fricking stop. Shit is not funny man. I got no life, no girlfriend. Having to SUFFER living at my parents house and I can't do a god damn thing about it and then you say GO SUCK DICK!!!! FRICK YOU!!! Please stop!!!
you WILL play the sims 4
you WILL suck the dick
Jesus fricking christ lord help me.
this is (You)
not yet it isn't
This makes me want to install the sims again and go on a degen spree. But I will just end up cooming like 6 times a day so I really shouldnt
stfu coomhomosexual, I play it to sate my interior design autism
The same reason Civilization is popular with men
If by men you mean white incels, you are right
why are you brownies always so angry all the time? is it because you know you will never be white?
No, just men, except maybe black men.
True. Other races are too dumb to understand how to play Civ.
I am a brown cis man and I love civ. Frick off racist
Mein Neger. I suck your wiener if you like Stellaris too.
>Only white incels care about maintaining civilization
Hey you said it not me
it's a virtual dollhouse
>we need music for our video game!
>how about we get THE REINCARNATION OF MOTHERFRICKING RACHMANINOV
legitimately one of the greatest soundtracks to any game ever. maybe even any thing ever.
Frick this israeli earth. Old sims music is good though
>why are you brownies always so angry all the time? is it because you know you will never be white?
I remember when pic related posted on Ganker once. He was really nice and thought it was pretty funny that he had become a meme. Ironically he said he’s never played hoi4 or any strategy game really.
wait does this mean sims thread on vg is full of females that are into video game? brb, pirating sims 3
It is full of females (males)
It's funny, even stacies play sims 4.
>> dollhouse simulator
>> op confused on why it is popular with girls
Your brain is powered by a hamster wheel and the hamster died weeks ago.
For me, the hamster died years ago.
My ex literally said it's like playing with dolls
Why are dollhouses so popular with girls?
Socialization stimulation. Hormones affect how you think and estrogen makes you more susceptible to propaganda. Their thoughts generates more impulses that desire social interaction and their brains give more of a chemical reward for doing so. This is why they always fall for propaganda politically and are the target demographics of impulse spenders economically.
I actually like Sims 3's OST a lot.
my vampire always like classical music so imagine my shock when a nosy paparazzi change the station.
It's a dollhouse.
what's the difference between a doll house and legos?
The focus on building. Most girls aren't going to build their own dollhouse and minature furniture.
I never built anything with Legos. I just created battles scenarios in my head with Lego people. The cool thing was how you could dismember little Lego people since their limbs were detachable.
Same because lego looks like ass
I got those Airfix and Revell kits that you have to slap glue on
I would build spaceships and then imagine them fighting, busting off damaged pieces and hardballing the loser at the floor. God I love Legos.
Like others have already said, because it's a virtual dollhouse. Most kids I knew that had PCs growing up played The Sims though, boys and girls. I loved the first two games.
Sims are looking grim these days.
I would unironically play a life sim set in a pre zombie Knox County
This is nice.
>pass user
How many dicks do you take up your ass daily?
>Saucy posting in a sims thread
not surprised to see you here shit sniffer.
For me it's
Man, I miss pre-miley cirus Katy.
That's just raspberry jam!
It's a dollhouse.
The original game when it first came out was one of the most addictive gaming experiences I've ever had and everyone I recommended it to had a similar story of getting hooked on that shit for like a week straight. All men.
The Sims is one of those things that appeals to both sexes.
>why is a doll house so popular with girls
It's a dollhouse you can choose to build out of Legos. I probably spent an equal amount of time just designing houses as I did playing the actual game.
i believe we're at an impasse
The ultimate bro experience is playing Bustin Out 2 player
it's like playing with dolls and it sates women's control freak and manipulative tendencies where they have full control over humanoid creatures.
>Sims is perfectly ripe to be one of the best examples of "emergent gameplay" on the market
>Sim AI is so fricking bad and repetitive you could pretty much predict which of the 4 options your Sim will perform on repeat
My biggest gripe with the fricking game. I love the customization, and just life sim shit in general. My second biggest issue would be that all Sims are too nice. Children's movies have more hostile bullies in them then in the Sims, and if you want to mod more negative impacts modders are autismos that go straight to
>BLOW HEAD OFF WITH SHOTGUN
>TWERK TO DEATH
when I just want some more lying/manipulation/punching/theft. The overall positivity reinforces the predictable gameplay.
they're like buffed doll houses

Where do I find more techno like this
>techno
How do I know you're american?
>listens to trance/drum n bass/garage/house for the first time
>"yooooo what kind of EDM is this bro"
I fricked that up, but the gist of it was: you're a moron
it's labeled as techno in the game itself
because the sims bustin out was made by americans
Because it's a world they understand.
In most settings they would just become prostitutes lmao. Post-apocalyptic? Badass archer women are a work of fiction, irl if things ever got that bad women would just spread their legs. So they can't relate to that. Fantasy? Women are not nerdy enough for that shit. Men are inclined to want to know every single detail about something, because they are the maintainers of society. Women just wait until things are built.
Why have there been no real attempts at making a competitor clone?
Same reason we didn't see a Simcity competitor clone until that 2013 disaster. Nobody else has the same resources as EA to pour into that type of genre.
There's a couple upcoming ones floating around like AlterLife and Paralives but they don't look very promising.
not many companies have the money and time to make a character creator, a house builder, and an AI for sims to live and interact with objects and each other in one game
is there a site where you sick fricks upload this shit in its entirety? last time i looked you would just download the sim and then there would be like 30 links in the description to download separately
There is one in development called alterlife, it looks too ambitious for it's own good too.
The best sims alternative and overall better game is stardew valley
Why would you move from Sims 4 to a competitor? If you are a huge fan you probably already sunk $1000 and much more hours into the game, so going to a clone with a lower budget would feel like a downgrade.
is right, there needs to be a big change from EA for there to be an opportunity for a competitor to come in.
Although, I'm surprised there hasn't been a low budget Sims clone on PC yet. There's some games with promising artstyles on mobile for the genre but they haven't been used for a fully-fledged Sims clone yet
Why would you look at the choice between Sims and a competitor purely from the POV of someone whose already bought into 4?
They know they'll be expected to leave it all behind for 5 anyway
Because the playerbase for Sims 4 is huge. There's more incentive for new players to go there and join the community since it's moddable. If 5 was made unmoddable that would be a great time for a competitor to come in and steal their thunder, but that's if people don't just stay on 4 instead. It would take a lot for a new game to stand on its own two feet in the Sims market
Paralives looks great in terms of variety and options. Not so much in terms of, well, looks
Will that be enough to divert people from the sims though?
No
>If 5 was made unmoddable that would be a great time for a competitor to come in and steal their thunder, but that's if people don't just stay on 4 instead
Didn't they say that the next game was going to be a live service title? As if the game isn't that already with the sheer amount of DLC it gets every year.
That's probably why they're taking so long to release it, they're playing chicken with Paradox
>they're playing chicken with Paradox
Paralives is their attempt?
>Why would you move from Sims 4 to a competitor?
Because sims 4 is complete trash. Hell, I got into the series with 4 and thought it was so shit I tried the older games and liked them way more. A competitor would have to seriously frick up for it to be worse. The only thing sims has left right now is a monopoly and the brand name.
i don't get these games
they basically just boil down to giving someone orders to make them feel better
I'm sorry you didn't grow up with them, zoom zoom.
It's more about building nice houses and putting people in them
Like other people said, its the entertainment of a dollhouse
There's actually a "story" you can play if you go with the pre-made families
Part of the fun is coming up with creative ways to torture sims.
I obviously am not alone in this, but I have a huge hate-love relationship with The Sims 4, mainly due to how absolute SHIT the game is but at the same time the mods are batshit and so much fun
But still nothing beats the content The Sims 2 had and the jump to this one from The Sims 1. For one, I loved being able to make your own little store or setting up a yard sale of all the garbage you handcrafted
One change I'm glad they made to 4 was removing the in-game store stuff, even if that did lead to way too many Stuff and Kit packs.
The Sims 4 would be great if I could make the characters stop wearing ridiculous outfit combinations. That's the only thing stopping me from playing.
I hate how every random sim I meet has a nose piercing, tinted glasses, a sundress, torn stockings, and elbow length gloves. Or overalls and high heels. Or a chunky cable knit sweater and shorts.
I don't think they're actually playing. They just create characters/families and design houses. At least, it was like that back in the Sims 1 days
Theres a big 'challenge' community among the sims prostitutes, one of which is to have your sim have 100 babies. not kidding btw
This chicks voice is like ASMR for me, I could just zone out listening to her ramble.
Legit based, not gonna lie. Like a femoid version of Rimworld's human harvesting or Dorf Fort's mermaid farm optimization.
>tfw no negress sims playing gf
there are many challenges you can set up for yourself and also create stories for your sims and families, thats what I like to do
environment nurturing simulator, appeals on a basal biological level
>Why are the Sims games so popular with girls?
a woman with endless money will quite literally do nothing but rebuild a single house for the rest of her life
Like a bird rebuilding the same nest countless times if given unlimited building material. Amazing how nature works.
Why are these games so stressful?
I thought Bustin out was pretty comfy when I was a kid.
Why did he do it?
Some men just want a tangerine.
When I play the sims, I just try to kill them or make their life miserable
dunno but i got basegame+seasons expansion for 9.90 yesterday.
feels good being a master of the deals
i got the base game and all the expansions for 0.00 2 years ago think you got a shit deal
2 years ago I was busy doing your mom anon
>basegame+seasons
wow thats pretty epic anon, when are you getting the other 20 dlcs?

first pin. you can thank me later 🙂
We have a version of The Sims for men now, it's called Rimworld.
>loved The Sims 2 as a kid, spent hours fricking around with it
>wanted to play it again for nostalgic purposes
>there's an ultimate collection torrent with all the updates
>neat, let's try that
>it completely changes the music for some reason
>how the frick am I supposed to get my nostalgia boner without the old music
>uninstalled the whole thing immediately with immense disappointment
The expansion packs just add new music on top of the old one. I think you can individually select which tracks play in the settings, but I'm not sure if that's only for the radio stations or for build/buy music too.
>thought about emulating the PS2 port for this game
>remembering that you can switch between the classic point and click control scheme or console exclusive that lets you move directly with the joysticks
Still don't know why they never bothered to bring that scheme over to later games. I remember it working quite well for the time. You could make them go from a casual walk, light jog and full sprint if you zoom the camera out. I didn't realize how much of a one off that feature was until I played the PC versions.
>Still don't know why they never bothered to bring that scheme over to later games
because it was a concession not an improvement
I still prefer it same with the create a meal system that you let you choose the specific ingredients. Exclusively making nauseating meals and giving them to other sims was always a gaff.
its probably on the "features to be added in as their own full priced dlc" list
Is there a single website with all the WickedWhims mods? I remember spending hours looking in all kinds of places the last time I tried to assemble it.
>assemble it
do you mean adding animation packs? ww is drop and play
Yes, animation packs. Is there a single place for those? Maybe some autist on /aco/ made an archive or something.
I think there was a spreadsheet on /vg/ or something, not sure, it's been a few years.
not that im aware of. whenever ive added a shit ton of anims together i always end up with a bunch of dogshit scuffed ones, id advise just finding a few you like
I don't use that shit anymore because I've been trying to fix my life and not be a degenerate coomer anymore.
However, I'll tell you that you can find links to pretty much all animations of consequence on the wicked whims website. They are not all made equal. I'd even go as far as to say that the majority of them are dogshit.
You can find curated packs in certain places, but none of them are any good because most people don't really have standards.
The only real option is to download packs one by one and decide whether or not you like them.
I groomed Cassandra Goth as a teen and then made her my wife
adults cant do romantic interactions let alone frick teens right? did you just play mr nice guy and bide your time?
Yes, and I also invited her over to my tiny trailer whenever I could. My precious little semen demon had no other friends to steal her away from me either.
you can if you install some mods
I'm listening..
It's a dollhouse.
Misogyny aside, anyone else find women really cute when they're not being butthurt and malicious?
I just find their obsession with clothes, interior decor, etsy type stuff, small fluffy animals, overdose of empathy, pouting at you, how sloppy they get when drunk, randomly crying at sad adverts when they're hormonal so cute.
I love women bros.
yeah women are nice to be around when they arent being c**ts but when they are being c**ts you would rather be literally anywhere else
unfortunately you never know when they will be a c**t or what will set them off
frick off homosexual. women are evil, selfish creatures.
never forget the girl of your dreams is currently being a GIRL BOSS and taking 3 dicks a week (some black)
I just wish they didn't cry all the time. I never cry, so crying confuses me.
I live in the 3rd world Yurop. Do people in the West look like that or is it just the devs' twisted imagination? I regularly see videos of Californians dressing like the Sims, but I imagine these are all (wannabe) influencers or relatively poor people looking for drip.
Youve been watching too much anime lol.
They don't even act like that in anime anymore, you idiot.
I hate women. Miserable, overly emotional attention addicts. Tomboys are the only good ones.
I don’t have enough information at this time to make an informed judgement of women
Sims 2 is raw soul
>sims 2 lets you place new lots to build the neighbourhood you wanted
>sims 3 makes you buy a DLC that gives 6 shitty placed lots you cant edit
>sims 3 makes you buy a DLC
anon, there's nothing wrong with pirating old games that EA fill with DLC specifically to gouge your wallet.
i meanded to say sims 4
Good. I was about to write a very, very rude post to you.
Same. Glad I checked the responses and saw the correction because I was about to go on a tirade over that not being true at all.
fricking hell, this post alone is making me consider reinstalling 2 but the fixes are a b***h to install
wtf, last pic was supposed to be sims 4?
>media isn't regressing you neckbeard take your nostalgia goggles off

Is that Paralives ever happening?
Probably not
*honk honk*
I wish theyd add a disability pack so i can have a schizoid sim, and random townies could be neurodivergents, downies etc. seems like their base would lap it up too
> Play at ideal life sim
> Can have everything you want
> Creates husband
> Spends the entire time just having children and raising families
Gee I don't know why appealing to their most basic instincts, wants and desires attracts them. It will forever be a mystery.
Helps bros I want to woohoo with a girl..
