Title: Sims 3
Post by: Phillip V on June 25, 2009, 01:09:23 PM
Anybody try it? I got interested after reading the story of a homeless father and daughter: http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/alice-and-kev/

So, I just bought it for $21 from some German seller on eBay who has promised to send me a download code.

Yeah that's a good story.
I don't have it yet. Might get it when it's cheaper.

This article is well worth checking out too:

Good God man, that is friggin depressing as all hell.  I want the Sims to be fantasy, like tossing Li'l Jaron into a pool without a ladder.

Read the article I linked to, it's more like what you're looking for.

I'm relying on my sister buying it then stealing it when she's not looking.
Not too high on my list of things to get.

Cool link.

Call me skeptical, but that sounds like a rip off.

"Yeah ... I send you a code ... sometime .... maybe."

I have it. Played it for a couple of weeks. It's the best Sims game so far. And I got bored after 2 weeks, like with the other ones. :P

I played the first one but found it disconcerning.  My character became depressed and wouldn't leave the house. :(

That would make a great premise for a short story.

That's what makes it a working premise; a clinically depressed man creates a SIM to live vicariously through; but the SIM ends up with clinical depression.

That's the makings of a classical tragedy alright.

Princesca bought this yesterday.  I was watching her play and I can say that the graphics and character customization are vastly improved.

I marry some young blonde thing, but when her hair turns white, I move on and leave her with the kids at home. Am I bad? :(

They all look like they have Down syndrome. What happened to the attractive Sims 2 sims?

I didn't know they made gorilla sims on this part. What other animals can you be? Just monkeys and gorillas, or..?

I'm on the verge of getting this, just have to figure out where my sister is hiding it- at first she was willing to let me install it but when it didn't work on her computer she came over selfish.
