FLIPDUDE Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 www.thesims3.com is finally up! Sadly its being alittle wonky right now so I cant do much on it, but form what Ir ead in magazine articles the sims 3 looks very promising. Gameplay will be extremely different form the sims 2. And on a side note, Nolimitscoaster.de says a news update about the progress of Nolimits 2 is coming this March, and it's already March 19th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 You know, I have The Sims, but I never actually got into it. I played it for a while, but I was really bad at it and it just wasn't that interesting. I like the idea, though. Hopefully, The Sims 3 will be worthwhile.

FLIPDUDE Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well the SIM world has drastically changed since the sims 1 original game. There's alot more to do now and alot of challenges you can set for yourself. The original sim game is uncomparable to the sims 2 with all the expansions.

DBru Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Will Sims 3 take as much space up on your computer as Sims 2? It was really fun, until it started to lag (badly)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Yankee Guy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Wow, I was not expecting them to release a Sims 3. I haven't boughten the past couple of Expansion Packs for The Sims 2 since my desktop computer is low on space. But most likely by 2009 I would have enough money to give my desktop computer a serious much needed overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Coaster Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'd love for them to have a carnival in the game. Torturing your Sims by trapping them on Zippers and toboggan rides of death would be brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 It reminds me too much of Sim City, but im definitely excited for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttd rox Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 This game looks cool and has better things. Sims 1 still beats Sims 2 badly if you ahve Sims 1 Complete Collection that you can but at like Target for $40.00. Sims 1 is just better than Sims2 so lets hope Sims3 beats them both good! Sims2 is more mission and objectives than building dream houses like in Sims2! Sims3 looks more realistic than the others! Cheat code for Sim1 for unlimited money: Press ctrl + c + shift at the same time and type in the cheat code box rosebud!;!;!;!;!;!;!;1;!; Sorry, I know this isn't a cheat site. Lets hope it's good though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 ^ Uhhh, who didn't know that cheat? Will Sims 3 take as much space up on your computer as Sims 2? It was really fun, until it started to lag (badly)... That's the only complaint i have for Sims 2, lag. I love the game, me and my sis have nearly all of the expansion packs. But it lags sooooo much, it sometimes makes the game unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Coaster Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 The game looks very good but as someone who has Sims 2 plus all the expansions, I'm hoping it's revolutionary. Some improved graphics, a continuous town without having to go between lots... not good enough IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrakenKing Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have all the expansion packs for both Sims 1 and 2. They're gonna have to show me some amazing stuff to get me to buy "The Sims 3". Right now, the screen shots make the game look like it has very few graphic advances. The only thing that I see making it "worthwhile" is you can place furniture diagonally. These are based off the screen shots off of IGN.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Coaster Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 And I have to admit, I've bought the expansion packs and haven't bothered with them that much. I'm kind of OVER The Sims really. So it will take something amazing to draw me back in. ^ There's a Sims 2 cheat/hack that lets you place furniture diagonally anyway ... boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true through the cheat console, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well, personally I think that considering that this is the sims we're talking about here, and the fact that now the entire town will show, not to mention people complaining about the sims 2 lagging alot, the graphics are pretty darn advanced and impressive. Sims look less cartoony than before. And also, keep in mind, what they tried to revolutionize in the sims 3 isn't the graphics, it's the gameplay. The game is going to be very different now, not just some "Adde dgraphics" expansion pack. Your sims will be constructed differently(with character traits instead of various meters and whatnot), no more social/energy/bladder/etc. meters, only three, which I forgot(one of them is stress vs. fun though). The rest will still exist, but they'll be hidden. and alot more stuff that you can see by reading through articles that have been posted in magazines about the game. I was a little worried at first having read all the things they're going to change, because if it ain't broken, why fix it? Plus I know that this did NOT work well for simcity societies. But after having read through two articles about the game I am fairly certain they know what they're doing and this could turn out better than the previous games.

KrakenKing Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Love how the game progressed to this when it was originally just going to be an architecture/home design program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttd rox Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 ^ Uhhh, who didn't know that cheat? A lot of people, just thought it was fun to share. Anyways, I hope Sims3 will work on my new computer cause RCT3 is having problems on it. Heck, RCT3 has problems on a lot of computers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the way they were constructed was fine, and that the social meters really helped the game to sucess, and made it feel like a really good simulation game, as did the personality meters. The graphic improvements that i've seen on the screenshots don't impress me much either. They look more detailed then the Sims 2, however the difference is so slight that i probably wouldn't take much notice of it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny In England Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 With the Sims 3, it won't be long until we have an upgraded TPR House. Hopefully some of the advances between 2 and 3 will be useful for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrysisGuy Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I wonder if its gonna top Crysis in terms of hardware required to play this game smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny In England Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 ^ I really doubt that. Crysis needs a Mark IV Fission Reactor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
