Sims 3: More pics

[strangetomato]

I have some more Sims 3 pics to share. I've been having a good time just playing around with it so far and trying to see how it all works. I went back into CAS again to try creating some more sims, and ended up creating a neighbour for my simself. So this post will be pretty wankery and full of my simself. You've been warned.








Here she is in all her glory. Not exactly a perfect replica (the nose was impossible to get right), but there's a bit of a likeness there. The nasolabial folds are cranked up to max, just like in real life.

I was getting bored of her affairs with married sims in Sunset Valley, so I made a single and very available neighbour for her.




So she drops by to make introductions.




Strange: Hey, you look kinda familiar...

Guy: Well, I think I'm based on someone you know from somewhere else.

Strange: Yeah, maybe. You didn't turn out that well, but you're alright.




Strange: So... uhh... what's with the baby? I thought you were supposed to be single.

Guy: Oh this?




Guy: It just appeared on my lawn when I came home from a trip downtown.




The poor thing basically had a basket dropped on his doorstep! :P

The kid's name is Abram too. How Biblical.




So Strange hangs out with the larva Abram and this totally unfamiliar guy, while he cooks some mac and cheese.




He's pretty flirty. Strange isn't really going for the pick up line that references dipping his chip in her salsa. That's a bit too bold (and spicy!) for her just yet.




She does engage in some light flirting, however. It goes pretty well.




Yet somehow, she still gets rejected for a kiss.

C'mon! She's a great kisser! It's one of her TRAITS, you moron!

Give him time, I'm sure he'll come around (and spawn some more larval babies).




He doesn't even own a crib for the baby! I hope he buys one before her next visit. I have doubts about his ability to care for that kid on his own, but we'll see how he makes out.

The babbys are HORRIFYING. They look like those really scary "lifelike" dolls that I hated with a passion as a child.

I'm actually finding it pretty fun, as a game. It takes FOREVER for my sims to take a bath and sleep through the night (even on fastest setting), but I'm not sure if that's related to my own computer or just a problem with the game. I've been reading while I wait for her to sleep up (and it seems like they spend all their time sleep - maybe I just need some replacement for the energizer. Sleeping is for suckers).

It's a problem with the game. Even with the BEST bed, they spend like 7 hours a night sleeping and it feels like forever because Speed 3 is SO SLOW. They want us to suffer. :(

(I had to cheat today to get stuff done. I used testingcheats and kept dragging their energy back up so that they only had to sleep ~4 hours a night.)

Yeah, it's really annoying and boring to play through it. I keep making her take power naps and drink coffee (or weird chai beverages - there isn't even a real coffee maker, is there?)

I hope someone makes a hack to fix that problem. Would it be possible to speed up speed 3, or is that impossible, I wonder?

I doubt it, that's srs bsns game stuff. They'll probably either make their beds have a lot more energy or slow down the decay. Either way, they need to sleep less!

Yes, I agree. Those solutions would work well, but part of me still wants there to be a way to speed it up too. In Sims 2, I live on speed 3 when I'm actually playing the game.

REALLY? I love on Speed 2 unless I'm doing something specific. I can't believe there are people who play on Speed 1, that would KILL me.

Four... Must take spelling and typing lessons

I think that one just locks it into speed three until something changes, though I might be wrong about that.

Either way, it's still slow. :(

My sis' game is like that too with the sleeping. I'm pretty sure that speed 3 in her game is like... only a teensy bit faster than speed 1. It's ridiculous.
