Mssilhouette | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 12:42 am     Well thanks Willsfan, I'll give a try. I did play today and it was still running slow downtown. I mean snail and turtle pace. It took Evelyn 2 hours (sim time) just to buy a magazine and it took her ANOTHER 2 hours just to go next door and order some food. What was funny though was that Evelyn sister. Miz Silhouette was partying downtown as well and made lots of new friends, without even trying. Anyway I'll give it another shot and turn off everything cept for a few key items. HOpfully that will work. |
Donut | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 09:46 pm     i have never been to this thread cuz i cant do sims on webtv-its like a whole different world on this thread! anyways i was just curious if any of you caught Malcolm in the Middle on Sunday and if you got a kick out of the whole Sims subplot(although they called it something different.) It was pretty funny. He made himself perfect and his family messed up and they all became really succesful, like pope and president and he went into a downhill spiral. the writing was really funny to me. Was it for sims fans? |
Tksoard | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 09:57 pm     Hey Donut!! I was thinking the same thing!! I was going to post the question here, and I forgot!! Thanks alot for asking. That was really funny. It sure would be great if WebTV could do fun things like that!!  |
Mssilhouette | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 11:20 pm     Dang it!! I missed that show and just barely caught the beginning of the much hyped Star Wars trailer. (Which wasn't too bad but may turn out to be like Episode 1) Anyhoo I would have LOVED to see it, I'll look for it in repeats. So my answer is...I dunno if they did pattern it off the Sims, but my guess would be probably so. |
Tksoard | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 11:22 pm     Too bad you missed it Mssil!! I hope someone who plays the Sims watched it. That is really neat if that is it!!  |
Myjohnhenry | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 11:47 pm     I bet it will be repeated at some point in time. I don't normally watch that show, but that sounds funny! Have you all seen "Virtual Date" on the game site pogo.com? It is a sims based game and pretty funny...and quick to play. |
Labmouse | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 11:55 pm     They definitely patterned it off of the Sims. It was hysterical. Malcolm tried to make the Sims clones of his TV family total abject failures. He tried to achieve ultimate success for the Sims clone of himself. He became more and more obsessed as he failed. I was surprised that they used the Sims subplot. The writers were really familiar with the odd nuances of the Sims games. I love the show Malcolm in the Middle, and this was definitely one of the better episodes. |
Donut | Tuesday, March 12, 2002 - 08:56 pm     has anyone invented Sims: the Osbournes? cuz now theres a game!!! your computer could very quickly go into dog pee overload... |
Riviere | Thursday, March 14, 2002 - 12:21 am     Malcolm was hilarious this week!!! Even better was that Drew Carey April Fool's episode where an entire scene in the store used Sims, the tv screen was exactly what you see playing Sims, with the buttons and menus, etc.. Does anyone else like to make their own floors & wallpaper and/or have any at a website to share? I'm going to put a few of mine up on my homepage this month. |
Zachyd | Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 03:12 pm     how do they get married? |
Angelnikki | Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 06:46 pm     when one asks the other to marry them and they accept(assuming they do), you see them get all googly eyed and they face each other and they do a quick spin and all the sudden they are in wedding clothes and they mumble something and then they are married. sorry if i rambled on. |
Mssilhouette | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 11:17 am     It also helps if the relationship score is high above 50 pts. AND that the person your sims asks to marry has been well fed and had a trip to the bathroom. Well this works if you don't have Hot Date . If you just keep up the hugs, and dances until they score gets high then go in for a back rub and another hug you should get the PROPOSE option. Then presto! Instant wedding and another mouth to feed and get out the house for work. |
Amy09 | Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 11:42 am     Has anybody seen the previews on TV for the new game? I think it's called Sims Vacation. They show that your people can go to tropical beaches and skiing in the mountains, but I'm sure there's probably a bunch of other options as well. Anyway, it looks like its going to be a lot of fun! |
Angelnikki | Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 03:21 pm     yes i saw that. it looks cute. but i dont need anymore sims games LOL i have sims and two expansion packs. |
Willsfan | Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 04:42 pm     Yes, I saw screenshots of the Sims Vacation showing snowball fights, campfires, tents and the whole family getting into a cool looking car to go on their trip. I think I'll wait and see if people have as many problems with it as they have with Hot Date. My game play is working fairly normally now but with an addition expansion my game might slow to a crawl or even worse start crashing again. |
Biloxibelle | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 05:53 am     Hiya, I went out and got Vacation last night will keep posted on it when I get it going. |
Misslibra | Friday, April 05, 2002 - 03:08 pm     Biloxibelle, let us know if it's worth the money. I can't remember do you have hot date to ? I ordered hot date and it came in the mail while I was away. I haven't been playing with my Sims in a while but I'm going to install Hot date tonight. Can't wait to see what new things you can do with it. Just knowing that my Sims will now finally get out of the house is good news to me. |
