What would I change about Sims 3? Well...

There are many but small things I miss from the previous Sims games and expansion packs that I would've like to have seen in Sims 3. However I do completely get why everything couldn't have been put in.. 

What I would bring in from Sims 1 & 2...

 

  • Guinea pigs! I thought they were great!
  • Hot Date was great for going out but also buying cool new stuff like jewelry was great to give to a loved one! It would be cool if Sims 3 had this option...
  • Getting ill was a realistic feature.. being able to get time off work because you were bitten on those fantastic guinea pigs with the chance of death was amazing!
  • You didn't have to garden! You could pay someone to do it for you!
  • You could actually see the buildings your Sim went to when they went to town.
  • Being able to do things like make out and Wohoo in the car... or even Wohoo in public!
  • Sims dating... You should have that option rather than tour an army base... not very romantic... Bring back fancy dining and being rated on your dating skills then getting gifts from it!
  • Shopping for clothes and groceries... at the time I was annoyed that you didn't have all the clothes in your wardrobe already but thinking back I did like my Sim going out an trying on stuff etc. With the groceries I liked them being delivered online when I felt lazy.
  • Having the option to invite the Headmaster over to get your kids into private school was was fantastic feature even if I was angry with him most of the time for not accepting!
I know there is plenty more, but don't get me wrong there are great things about Sims 3 like...

  • Riding a bike places rather than driving
  • Not having loading screens
  • Events happening around the town
  • People can stay over 
  • The wishes are a lot more interesting
  • You get to go to neighbors houses
  • You choose their traits to make it more realistic
  • Sneezing and coughing, slamming the fridge door and getting annoyed at the draws not opening is a nice realistic feature...
I could go on but please if you have anything you would like to see from Sims 1 or 2 or anything you particularly love about Sims 3 that they other 2 didn't have comment back.

 

Genius!

This being my first blog I am going to jabber on about my Sim and how she has gained amazing skill levels. To be honest I'm quite proud of myself. 

 

Basically I told myself that I would create a character who lives in a dingy little bungalow alone, with hardly any money. Shamefully after about a week I got frustrated with her continuously going on how how she hasn't had enough fun, food or sleep as she spent her life working so I could get her to have more luxuries. 

 

I was naughty and went against my rule of no money cheats. I decided to use it once or twice to make the bungalow respectable. Feeling disappointed in myself i made up for it making sure that my sim was the best in every skill and then I would get her to complete every goal...

 

After a while she made it to the top of her journalism career, met someone who moved in and brought even more money into the house, making it easier for her to get higher up in her skills! I spent long enough trying to find the life seed and grow the life plant but it was a fun process as she got better at her collecting. 

So now she has her skills all the way up I got her to move on in life, making a family. A young boy and twin girls.... My god I didn't know how hard it would be to control! But eventually they grew up.... 

 

For me when you have reached all your goals, had a family, got married, kids have moved out and you have got to the top in all you can there is nothing else to do....  I have had to take a break as it has really got to the stage where I can't think of what else to do without getting bored! I am looking forward to the World Adventures expansion pack gets released!
