Just a quick poll-y thing about Sims

Lyeekha's picture
I have Sims 2 at the moment, and was completely addicted for a while, then lost interest except for sudden random bursts of total addiction for a few days or so before forgetting about it for a month. I have two questions:

Sims 3 is out in America, yeaaah? I would like to ask AMERICA (and anywhere else it's out before the UK), what's extra? Based on the above information, d'you think there's enough extra/different for me to be interested in buying it?

Okay, and two: is it worth my time making SimsDeer like everyone else on the bandwagon, only in Sims 2?

Thanking ye muchly!

uhhhmm.... it's allready out

I never had the sims 2 so i can't really say the differences between it and sims 3. In my own opinion Sims 3 is a great game with soo much detail. You can get your sim looking just how you want it being able to change the colour of the roots of their hair, to making it obese and more. There is alot of choice when it comes to careers and you are able to explore the whole town. Also you can pick their traits and using a very handy cheat you're able to change them whenever you want (not that i would do anything like that XD ). Okay so that's the reason why i play... to cheat Smiling but hey it means you can explore and your sims won't have to sleep and they can become a rockstar!

As for the 2nd question: Yeah why not, go for it! i think quite a few peopple have used Sims 2 for their creations.

...it wasn't out last I checked k. ...which may have been a long time ago. xD

I think I will get it. Birthday in July + using Sims 2 to make TEF chars = perfect time for hint dropping, also I don't mind if that doesn't work cos I'll just buy it. Thanks Tae! More design-a things is really what I'm looking for. Some people say the cheats take the fun out of a game, but I say not if you have imagination. S'fun!

I don't have the Sims 3 but

I don't have the Sims 3 but I've read reviews and asked around; the main difference is that time goes on in every household--in the whole neighborhood--rather than just the house you have selected. You can make a Sim walk down the street to another Sim's house (lolfinally). Anddd you can take one Sim to the library and the other can be at home; you can gracefully take the camera from character to character no matter where they are in the neighborhood. 8V Aside from that, the Sim customization thing is better, and the graphics changed along with it. They're ...curvier and more cartoony in this one which I personally don't like. xD I like how the Sims 2 Sims look better but that's just my opinion.

I'd say stick with Sims 2 for now. :> Besides, Sims 3 is expensive as it is, and once the price lowers it'll have expansions and crap for you to buy along with it. <3 I'd love to see FIUsim though. cB

Ah, good advice. I had

Ah, good advice. I had forgotten how cheap it was to buy Sims 2 + Pets late. ....but Sims 2 DOES NOT HAVE PURPLE HAIR. I have just discovered this. Yes, I know you can get purple bits with a mirror, but STILL. Liëka looks wrong. >C

You can download Sims 2

You can download Sims 2 hair. U: And houses and clothes. I like Peggy Sims hair the best, but you could also try XM Sims hair or search "purple hair" under the Downloads tab at Mod the Sims. <3 Just make sure your My Documents > EA Games > Sims 2 folder has a Download folder in it that you can extract all of that stuff to. c: If you don't get anything let me know~

I actually found a hair to use for , but now I'm being stupid and can't work out how to use it. I have both mesh and the re-colour downloaded. They are both .package and they are both in

My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads

...I had to make a Downloads folder, does that make a difference? And if it is working, do I just find them with all the normal hair in the creation process, or are they via mirror? Sorry for asking you all these things, I'm just happy I have someone to ask. ^_^;

Sometimes the things you

Sometimes the things you download will look like a little Sim coming out of a box; if that's the case, double click to open it and it should install it for you. If not, then yes, you're doing it right; sometimes they simply don't work or you forgot to download the mesh along with it. 8< And you can change hair in mirrors, yes. You might have to click the little * thing at the end of the blond, red, and brown tab things. cB ...did I forget something sfdsfds.

...BUT
I cannot for the life of me figure out my KMPlayer to make animated icons, so you're either going to have to give me a thorough tutorial of how YOU make them so I don't ask for 9504 of them from you in a second here with links to all the programs you use, or you're going to have to suffer like four two(noteventhat)-second gifs D> GOOD LORD. I think I'm making it harder than it is fjkdss.

YOURCHOICE. bahaha.

Well I can always make them

Well I can always make them if you want. ^_^

BUT this is a brief thing of what I do (if it's from something on YouTube):

Use keepvid.com to rip an .flv of the video.

Use an FLV to AVI converter....to convert it from .flv to .avi....

...and then I open it in Jasc Animation Shop 3 to see it frame-by-frame, delete the frames that are unwanted, edit where necessary, and save as .gif. Thing is, I have no idea where we got Jasc Anim from, or where you could get it. I have a sneaking suspicion we got it as a free trial with something else, and then it failed to stop working when the deadline ran out. xD;

However, if you have an animation program that can open AVI's, then my method still works. ^^;

Is that in any way helpful?

Ok, do you know a way of getting Sims to move in with each other without them growing relationships? For I really would like to avoid creating complicated love triangles amongst my deer just to get them all in the same house. |D

I TELL YOU SOMETHING WEIRD.

I TELL YOU SOMETHING WEIRD. I was gonna talk about it when I posted screenshots but SEEING AS IT'S ON TOPIC.

FIU and started flirting without me asking them to. (..remember isn't related to FIU on Sims). It was so wierd that I could only encourage it, and they were going steady within hours, possibly even within the half-hour. 0_O It's amazing; I've never seen any other Sims pair up so quickly. It must be because they're sisters-only-not. xD
