The Sims peaked here. Most charming and soulful, no filler expansion packs. Awesome art style, best soundtrack. Just fun to fuck around in.

I don't disagree but it's hard to go back to the bad pathfinding and stubborn/slow sims
Was it this or Sims 2 that had pets going wild and destroying things in public lots?
It was a really nice game, I remember it very fondly. I think I only played The Sims 2 for like 5 minutes and I don't remember anything except that I felt it completely soulless. I'm surprised to learn that they kept doing new versions and there's a Sims 4 now.
i liked sims 2 it was pretty good. I never played any of the expansions though. I would just start a game and buy the biggest plot of land I could afford and then see if I could get the guy to survive. I'd end up having to build the tiniest house with just enough room for a bed and a shower and essential stuff and go from there. It was more fun that way because probably more than half the time I'd fuck it up and have to start again so it was like a challenge. Sims 3 wasn't so bad either but they simplified it a lot so it just got boring pretty quickly
yeah but they should have added balconies, the intro is false advertising
anon...
not only could you build them but one of the prebuilts from the base game has not one but two balconies
If you want a balcony to stick out more you just have to add pillars/supports and then delete them.
these isometric games need crt to enjoy it properly
I've been playing Ulitma Online lately on a private server and I really feel this comment.
which was the one where you could fuck death and have a ghost baby? I liked that one
>filler expansion packs
I was dissapointed with pets.
>things are going bad
>enters the clown
This was a game for females. I own it and its sequels but have never played any of them. I have watched females playing them. It seems to have no point to it.
Believe it or not, men played it too
>Believe it or not, men played it too
trans or f2m?
Huh?
and? they also played zelda
Ask me how I know you're a zoomer.
If you don't get constant social stimulation you become a weeping mess that can barely hold down a job.
Sims 2 was better.
Probably a chud since it refers to women as "females"
They won't answer, but it's because they weren't around for when everybody and their dog was playing these games.
it's got progression, but I don't think anything happens at the end, i'm not sure
it's a game for men and women
>It seems to have no point to it.
Welcome to life.
When I was a kid, one of my friends had his deadbeat uncle living in the basement of his house. This dude literally played the Sims all day.
the modding community is insane
It's my personal favorite too, but I think The Sims 2 was a very worthy sequel. I liked both of those games a lot.
I skipped 3, but I tried 4 (years after it launched and heavily on sale) and was pretty nonplussed. I played maybe five hours of it and got my fill.
The first game definitely had the best overall atmosphere and humor. It's basically timeless.
IMO though the second game has a fantastic atmosphere all its own and it's just as nostalgic as well.
makin magic is officially where it started to cater to females, before that it was wholesome americana and a grueling work ethic
IT'S LITERALLY A VIRTUAL DOLLHOUSE
this. but even as a dollhouse is quite boring, at least princess maker is moe.
I think it had much less to do with that and way more to do with the recent success of the Harry Potter multimedia franchise.
Tell me Ganker, what makes this series soo appealing towards female demographic?
Even til this day, Sims 4 is mostly played by women.
Women care more about design and customization in games than men do, typically, and the Sims is based entirely around those concepts.
Women like interior design and manipulating people.
Men like construction and being the boss.
Yes, and? Do you think that women liking The Sims means men can't?
The only SIM games I ever played were back in the 90s, SIMCity, SIMAnt and then The Sims. I have no good subjectivity to base your, or my, comparisons to except that I'll say you're 100% correct.
Facts. Best soundtrack. Best humor. Best everything.
Were the graphics in TS1 all 2d sprites or did it have 3D?
3D Models baked into 2D sprites
The people were (software-rendered?) 3D models while everything else was pre-rendered 3D.
>The Sims peaked here. Most charming and soulful, no filler expansion packs. Awesome art style, best soundtrack. Just fun to fuck around in.
I tend to agree. The first expansion pack, livin large, is when I checked out.
Sad, you missed out
I really miss the seasons and pets expansion in this. So I will go with Sims 2.
Does Ganker play FreeSO?
Best game in the series for sure, kino soundtrack, great atmosphere, challenging gameplay and the series wasn't afraid to use horror movie tropes sometimes (remember the prank calls? Those were so damn good). I still have my complete collection CD but my new computer doesn't have a disk drive I might have to download it somewhere.
<- listen to this.
The Sims 2 wasn't bad, nice continuation to The Sims 1 but the art style wasn't as good. The Sims 3 had interesting ideas (open-world and the customization features for the furniture). The Sims 4 people play for the porn mods lol.
Is it still active/populated?
To be fair, I haven't checked in like two or so years, but I'd be willing to pick it back up to play with some of you glorious gays.
Yeah I play it. Usually just gamble all my money away
Sims 2 for me. I miss the family I made in it every day. Was never able to emotionally recuperate from that so I haven't touched the game.
Are the sims games supposed to be relaxing? They stress me out
At first they are kinda stressful when you're learning how to make income and balancing your Sim's needs. To make more money, you gotta make those career making moves like maxing out the stats relevant to the career.
