Crazydog | Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:38 pm     I think it's hilarious when they get all jealous of each other. I think it'd be funny to see the spurned person take revenge by egging the other's house or peeing on their rose bushes. Or what about homicidal Sims? I'd like to see a game in which Sims will off each other if they get to a negative enough relationship value. Maybe for the next expansion pack?  |
Neko | Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 03:00 pm     Almost had them, LOL Both had the red hearts over each other..so one went in for the kiss and the other was like, "Hey! WTF??" LOL Quite funny to watch... |
Crazydog | Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 03:05 pm     Neko, with no expansions I found the best way to boost the relationship points is to give hugs. I can't remember exactly, but hold off on the kissing until both of them are closer to 75, I think? (With expansions it becomes a little harder to boost the points, although you have more options - you can give "full body hugs" or just "friendly hugs"). Also, try "flirt", it works well. |
Neko | Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 04:26 pm     I had them too 98... They just done like each other...or me.. |
Jed245 | Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 04:29 pm     Alright I have a question for ya :o) I have played the sims for a while now. I just started playing again. Can ya'll tell me the differences between the sims, the sims living large, and the sims redux? I have the sims and am considering getting the sims living large or redux. Jed. |
Neko | Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 04:37 pm     I think Redux just means that we started this thread over so it's the second or "deux" time... |
Kaili | Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 07:10 pm     Jed- You have to have the Sims to get Livin Large cause it's an expansion pack. I have Hot Date (Neko- you would love that one with a vibrating bed and options to "play" in bed anfd in the hottub)- the expansion packs just have more items, more options, more occupations, etc. I have Livin Large and Hot Date. I don't think I will get many if any more cause I might need to get more memory along with it. I think it is Livin Large that gives you multiple neighborhoods and the option to go downtown. Also Neko I think Carzydog is right and you need them hugging a bunch. Sometimes they get mad if one is too aggressive. I've had a marriage proposal turned down because they didn't talk enough- juist fooled around to get married. Another hint I just remembered- their signs- they are more likely to have a love connection if they are the same astrological sign. I have made almost all of my sims the same sign in order to have the jealously kick in. Not sure how they figure compatibility with different signs, but they do matter in this game. |
Biloxibelle | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Fired up the Sims again last week. Started over in a new neighborhood. Been working on the Goth Sr. and haven't used a cheat yet just wanted to see how far I could get before I cheat. Made it 30 Sim days so far. MsS I have used the move object cheat also on my Sims before I found the "rejuvenater" The rejuvenater seems to Max them out better and if you have company they will sometimes get in it. It is really just a cloned shower but it will Max you totally out. There is another electronic I found at Sims resource it is a transporter it is just a little flat looking thing and you can put it in your house and them just summons anyone one of your neighbors, townie or vacation folks up. I still think my favorite add on is Unleashed. And I am still waiting to see how the on line game works out. I'm with Fabnsab I think it would be great if we could all be in a neighborhood together. |
Zachsmom | Friday, January 31, 2003 - 02:32 pm     you guys wouldn't want to be in my neighborhood..I've singlehandedly killed all my sims! (that music they play at their mourning time is imprinted in my brain) |
Fabnsab | Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 02:53 am     Well, if anyone wants to join me in an online neighborhood, let me know. I am going to buy my software this weekend. I'll throw the first block party!! |
Ddr1135 | Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 04:29 am     LOL, Zmom, you remind me of my son. He killed his mother in Sims one day by putting her in the swimming pool and she drowned. He forgot to put in a ladder. |
Maris | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 04:05 pm     If anyone wants to build a sims online house with me let me know. |
Yankee_In_Ca | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 04:25 pm     I haven't decided whether or not to buy Sims Online yet. Is it worth it?? Any feedback from those already playing is appreciated! Yankee |
Maris | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 04:38 pm     I am enjoying it although I am not a real sims expert. I fooled around with it on the computer a bit first then bought the online version. I have only been doing the online for a few weeks but the people for the most part are very friendly. Right now I am basically going around from place to place trying to earn money to furnish my house. So if there are any other sims online folks out there let me know. I will come knocking on your door till my doors are up. lol |
Vixeninvegas | Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 10:38 am     Hi all - well I just bought the Sims online - as soon as I get it I will need some help LOL Maris - what "state" did you set up in? I am assuming we pick our state to start right? Maybe we could be roommates or something. Hehe - this should be fun! I hope I have better luck with the online version then the one I bought then returned cuz it was frustrating to me that they didn't "talk" Anyone that has the online version & that would like to chat - please email me @ lvlady1962@msn.com |
Maris | Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 10:54 am     I am in Dan's grove but have run out of money so am busy running around to make enough money for a shower for my house. LOL. I am a newbie too, I have Sims on my pc but dont play it often so the online version is a new venture for me. I have my walls, a toilet and fridge and that is it. lol. |
Vixeninvegas | Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 11:52 am     Hi Maris! I spend the past hour or so checking out some gamer sites - it sounds like to start out its best to room with someone that has an existing house / business. I'm excited to receive the game - it should be here late next week. |
Maris | Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 11:55 am     you are right vixen. What I have been doing is going to different houses and learning skills and making myself some money. I enjoy doing that. It takes a lot longer to build my house. I love when someone knocks on my door and asks to come in, when I tell them sure come on in but I dont have a toilet yet, they run for the hills. lol |
Vixeninvegas | Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 12:24 pm     LMAO ahhhhhh maybe a toilet should be the next on your list hehehe Is there alot of people on line playing? Are you stuck in "Dans grove" or can you go to other places? |
Misslibra | Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 01:12 pm     I have been playing TSO for over a month now. One of the reasons I have not been around lately. Been working hard on goals I set for myself in the game and that takes up a lot of time. By the time I done playing the game I'm to tired to come here and post. I have my own place now. I like the game but can see where maxis have a lot of kinks to still work out with the game. More content is needed to make the game more fun. A lot of the objects are buggy as well as the patches and updates they put in the game. Also the objects are so expensive it's ridiculous IMO. But over all I like it. But hey I like the Sims games anyway before there was a TSO. Also another thing they did that no one like is they made it so you can only use certain objects on certain lots. Like I wanted a money house where people can come and make money but after they changed it where you can only use certain objects on certain lots I'm in the romance category now. I wanted money but ended up with romance. One more complaint about the game they only allow a owner of a house 101 objects. I hate the limit on the objects since I have already reached my object limit. None of the roommates I had worked out either. They were a bunch of free loaders. So I kicked them all out of my house. They are suppose to be adding casino objects, and places for your Sims to go shopping. They just recently added McDonald's to the game. It's funny to because the hamburgers are as big or bigger then our sims head. But the game is cool even with some of it down sides. I also didn't care for being a roommate when I first started playing the game. I was a roommate for two days and couldn't take it anymore. So not everyone is roommate material. Sometimes being homeless for a while is better then being a roommate since there are always places you can go to eat and sleep and shower for free, just don't forget to leave a tip.  |
Vixeninvegas | Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 02:36 pm     Misslibra - ty for the info - I have really been dragging my feet about buying one but it seems fun & I decided it was worth it to give it a try. I'm really looking forward to giving it a try - something to take up some time for me on the weekends & evenings is a good thing - maybe it will keep my butt outta the pubs & casino's here in Vegas. I mean after all a girl can only gamble & drink so long before she gets bored LOL |
Maris | Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 03:35 pm     101 objects??? Holy canoli Batman!!!!!!. I got me a fridge and a toilet now plus a typewriter which nets me 38 bucks at a shot. I travel to different houses found a good place last night where I got some skills and made a few hundred bucks. So MissL, sounds like you are an expert here, any recommendations on where a girl should go to make some BIG money?????????? |
Misslibra | Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 08:28 pm     Maris work on your logic skill first. That is most important because you make good money off the blackboards and the potions with logic skill. I built and furnished my house all by myself earning money from chalkboards and potions. Right now I have my logic at the max and I earn $336 every 4 minutes doing those. I'm working on mech right now since I have maxed and locked my logic. You earn good money making gnomes if your mech is good, also you will need mech to fix things around your house. And everything I do mean everything breaks in the game even blackboards. But work on your logic get it to the max which is 10.98 and once you get it there lock it so you wont lose it. Studying for a skill is the most boring part of the game. It's also good to work on one skill at a time. Hope that helps. |
Ditzymommy | Friday, February 07, 2003 - 11:56 am     I need help with my Sims, I've been playing for about 6 weeks. I don't know any cheats, so I guess I'm doing really well. I've moved a couple to the big house and still have $60,000 or so! I have a new "bachelor" that I developed, but no matter what house he lives in the carpool never comes to pick him up. Any clue how to fix this? Oh, I have The Sims, Deluxe Edition. Thank you |
Crazydog | Friday, February 07, 2003 - 12:11 pm     The carpool never comes to get him? That's odd. Has it ever come before? Because the only thing I can think of is that he got fired and is unemployed. Try reading the newspaper for job ads. The cheat code to get money is to press control-alt-delete. When the box comes up, type "rosebud". I think if you add exclamation points separated by semicolons you can get as much as you want. "rosebud;!;!;!;!;!....." Hit control-C to copy the exclamations and then add as many as you want by hitting control-V to paste. |
