The Sims Official Discussion Thread

Sims is very popular still. It's one of those games that is easily accessible for pretty much every type of player really. And yeah, I remember Urbz pretty well, I put a lot of time in to that game on PS2. It's for sure up there. I always liked the unique approach they took with it.

I legit didn't know these games still existed. I haven't owned one since The Sims 2 on Gamecube.
Anyone remembers The Urbz? It was so good.

Absolutely. It was a wild time, and I still own it in my personal collection. In fact, I own every Sims GameCube game.

So I made a side project and created a Victorian-style pub remodeled into a modern pub, where your mates can watch a match or enjoy a casual game of chess upstairs.

Only one more week until Sims 4 is free to play Here's hoping I don't become weak and buy it anyway in the meantime bc I've been wanting to play my customary 1 week binge and then forget about it for months again and my PS4 won't play it anymore....Sims mobile kinda sucks btw

Maybe I should find a torrent

Honestly, the base game Sims 4 is lovely to have, but it's so basic, that it really leaves a lot to be desired. I've mentioned in the past there are some packs that are must-haves, and allow me to re-iterate which they are:

Expansion Packs:

- Get To Work (Moderate Priority)
- City Living (High Priority)
- Cats & Dogs
- Seasons (Highest Priority)
- Get Famous (Moderate Priority)
- Discover University
- Eco Lifestyle (High Priority)
- Cottage Living (Highest Priority)

Game Packs:

- Spa Day
- Dine Out
- Vampires (Highest Priority)
- Strangerville
- Realm of Magic (Highest Priority)
- Dream Home Decorator

Stuff Packs:

- Bowling Night Stuff
- Fitness Stuff
- Laundry Day Stuff
- Tiny Living Stuff (Highest Priority)
- Paranormal Stuff

Kits:

- Industrial Loft Kit
- Desert Luxe Kit
- Courtyard Oasis Kit

Free Pack:

- Holiday Celebration Pack

If need be, I could make a tier list about them lol

Why do you have magic and vampires highest priority lol I kinda prefer more grounded stuff.

But even if I disagree I'd like a tier list yes lol also any mods you think are really well done

Magic and Vampires is more just for what you can play as. There's a lot you can do as a magic sim or a vampire, so I suppose it's just preference. I almost never play as Magic or vampires though, but I love the content it provides to help create some gothic buildings.

Ah okay I wasn't really thinking about the buildings that came with them, that makes sense

Exactly why I think Cottage Living, Eco Lifestyle, and Paranormal Stuff is a must-have. They add some gameplay features but the clothes and the items

 

[Chris]

Clothing is the one thing I always neglect bc I'm too interested in buying things for my house and stuff, I was gonna make sure my sims had a nice full wardrobe this go round lmao

@Chris ask and you shall receive.
