I am the centre of the universe: reason no. 85

[strangetomato]

The Sims 3 has been delayed until August because I am not even close to being mentally ready for it yet. I'm just that important. *snicker* The ego has landed.

Seriously, though, this wouldn't bother me in the least, and I think they should delay it to fix their countless, countless bugs, if they do exist (and, let's face it, they most likely do). However, I do feel bad for people who were getting really excited about it, and even pre-ordered it. *consoles cindyanne1* There, there. It will be okay.

I wonder if it's true? Seems likely to me. They delayed Spore for ages, didn't they?

I wasn't planning on getting soon anyway.

I have Spore at the moment and I have SHARP EDGES. I hear the minimum system requirements are the same. :\ I'd rather play sims 2 with pretty graphics than sims 3 with shitty graphics.

HI I AM SHALLOW.

It's okay, I love you the way you are!

I agree with this 100%. I love my pretty Sims 2, and I doubt I'll even be able to try playing Sims 3. (Spore works, but it doesn't look ~nice~.)

I only like how Spore looks in the cell stage on my computer. As soon as I got to the land dweller stage I was like, "WHAT IS THIS."

The little Cell Spores are so cute!

If Sims 3 really is going to be delayed I might have to reinstall Spore on my computer. I hadn't put it back yet after my latest computer Respawn (long story there) because it's so big and I was waiting to see how much space Sims 3 would take. Ugh.

I always feel bad when I make my little carnivore Cells eat the poor herbivores. :<.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

I do too! I never played Carnivores, although my son says you never have to make them eat other creatures. He says there's always dead animals laying around, etc. and then when they get to the tribal stage there are fish and eggs, etc.

My husband, on the other hand... he played a game with the most vicious Carnivore he could possibly make. :P You might be able to find it on the Exchange (is it called the Exchange for Spore?) Anyway it's under my name.... cindyanne1 and it's called the Gumbot. But beware of the Joeadons... those are what my son made and I swear they will TAKE OVER YOUR GAME. O_o

Spore is fun. I really need to think about reinstalling it.

Oh I don't blame you at all! I would have no desire to play a game that didn't run well. I hate it, even now, if my Sims 2 game lags for any reason. That's part of the reason my lots always look so bare and why I started off preferring the desert neighborhood. My Dell would always lag if I had a lot of landscaping and/or decorations, and while my current computer can handle it a lot better, I still think my game runs better with less decorations (that and I am a lazy sim decorator, lol.)

But I totally get that. I'd rather have a bare, boring and FAST game than a beautifully decorated slow one.

*applauds*

That's why I can't go back to the game on my old computer. Yeah, I COULD play but it would be so slow and annoying.

I agree with you, to a point, but I do love having the option to add cc. It brings something extra to the game and lets us personalize it.

The amount of cc I use does affect my loading times a little, but it's worth it to me for that personal touch (and having something, anything, other than the Maxis eyes - if I added only one piece of cc, it would be default replacement eyes). I'd draw the line at lagging, though. That does take away from the enjoyment of playing, and even taking pictures for a story.

I have no doubt my computer wouldn't be able to handle it either. So it's probably going to involve an upgrade for me too, and my current computer is still fine. We're in the same boat there.

Well, it would be like playing Sims 2 with those mitt-like hands when you have terrible graphics, right? I did that when I started playing, but I wouldn't go back to that now.

It's okay to be shallow. Why put up with something you're not happy with?

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

Yes, it would be so frustrating to have the mitten hands and the poorly defined faces. When I experienced lag after installing Bon Voyage about...a year or so ago? I didn't feel like playing the game at all. I don't want to go back to that. D:

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, lag is a drag. I'd rather not play at all, if it's really bad.
