Current Events > How do you have fun in The Sims?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Obviously you can just make your Sims live average lives but where's the fun in that?

On my Sims 3 playthrough, my goal is for my Sim to seduce and impregnate every woman in town. I haven't tried anything with any of the married ones yet so idk if it'll work with them.

Just read the patch notes. Lots of fun there.

i watched a friend construct a small outbuilding with a fireplace and lots of rugs. when a sim entered she deleted the door and waited for the place to catch fire and burn down. lmao

I remember doing stuff like that in the original game. Also deleting the pool ladder when throwing a pool party causing half the neighborhood to drown

Throwing a rager for the neighborhood and cooking until a fire starts

Since the town is all moving along in "real time" in Sims 3, if a neighbor dies in my house, and I exit my house and click on theirs, do they stay dead?

Watch all of this guy's Sims 4 videos. He comes up with some creative ways to torture his Sims and it's hilarious.

Only proper Sims I played was 1.

Sometimes I had a pool with a diving board and no ladders.

Sometimes I would make the largest possible house, zig-zag the walls on both floors and watch them run slalom to the toilet.

Sometimes I would play for real though.

I love Sims 3, I've been playing the hell out of it for years and I'm still discovering new things about it! There are tons of user created challenges you can look for to do, I was liking the not-so-berry challenge, though I haven't got that far into it yet because I got distraced by downloading another world and playing another sim in that >_>

anyhoo, I think we've all done the burn / drown / starve sims to death thing lol, I want to say they can be scared to death by ghosts as well but I can't remember if I had a sim die of that in Sims 2 or 3 :O

Yes, once they die they're...well dead for good
though you can turn that neighbourhood story progression option off if you want

I tried to get my Sims wife to cheat on me last time I played The Sims.

---

Only played 1. Once I finish building their house I would get rid of the doors and trap them in.

Did it work

Mod the game and kill everyone

See, I let her leave for college to pursue a higher education, and while there, I tried to get her to cheat on me, but the most that ever happened was her making out with the guy. Could never find an opportunity to woohoo it.

I think I was going through a weird time.

---

Just finished building my actual house. Was a lot harder than I thought it'd be and had to take a few creative liberties. But it's pretty close.

Time to homewreck.

---

So I immediately started flirting with the woman next door, who is married with two teenaged daughters. Within one day I fucked her and convinced her to leave her husband.

I feel so dirty.

Tomorrow I'll hit up the lady across the street...who is also married.

Also noticed that the first lady's husband is now listed as my enemy. Never met the guy. Do enemies show up and attack you in this game?

---

I made a lightless compound where only criminals live and I'd go around to parks and other people's houses and steal things. Sometimes I'd do this exact setup, but instead of four criminals, do 3 criminals + one normal guy who just sits around and paints/writes.

Oh, and make the criminals dive in dumpsters for free stuff a lot.

Which game? I kind of want to make my guy a psychopath on top of the whole banging and impregnating every woman in the town goal

I assume I can do stuff like that in 3 since I can go everywhere

---

I did that in Sims 3. Dunno if you can knock up people in the neighborhood.

Building houses can be pretty fun

I recall being able to when I first played many years ago and had this idea the first time, just had to stop cause my PC died and I lost everything.

---

Failed at banging the lady across the street, so I built a home gym so I can boost my Sim's confidence. Next time, baby.

I really need to buy some expansions, the item availability in the base game is so limited.

---

I banged the lady across the street. I also hired a maid to clean my house because I'm too busy fucking everyone to clean it.

I'm going to try to nail the maid next.
