I could use the same Sim over and over with a different set of traits and a different make up story, and it would always feel fine. I could pick any Sim and give them any goal and any "personality", and it wouldn't really make the blindest bit of difference. But really, the traits barely mattered at all. I'd spend an hour or longer in CAS trying to make them look different to my other Sims, and then I'd stick them with a few traits that would help them achieve what I'd decided for them. It used to be that I would think up a Sim in my head, give them a back story and something to aspire to. How about you? Do you have much CC in your game, or do you prefer to play vanilla?Īnd here lies another improvement on the Sims 3. It is really important to me that the game looks consistent, which is why I keep away from third party custom content. They looks like a cross between real people and creepy dolls, and they do not fit with their surroundings at all. The skin, the eyes, the hair, the clothes, the make-up. There is nothing more jarring to me than when someone posts a picture of their Sim, and everything about them is CC. People complain about the way the game looks (I love it, by the way), and one thing that I hear a LOT it a variation on "The hair looks less realistic than Sims 3". This post was inspired by a comment I've seen thrown around a lot during Sims 4 bashing threads. The clothes looks like "real" clothes and don't fit the game at all. By the way, the Diesel Stuff Pack totally does this. I can't stand hair with a different texture, or clothes that look like the pattern is just a copy and paste from a Google search. The reason I pick official content over third party content is a simple one I like my game to look like all the pieces belong together. It is super annoying, because I've pretty much paid for a worse experience. My computer is more than capable of running the game according to its specs, but I still have to deal with issues. And you know what? It clogs my game up just as much as third party CC. Some of it I use often, some of it not at all. I've probably paid for half of the content available on there.

I have been really guilty of throwing money at the Sims Store. Official content is a totally different story.
#SIMS 4 DEMO BLOGSPOT MODS#
I now have maybe 10 pieces of third party CC in my game, and half of those are mods to help the game run a little better. At first I did have quite a lot of CC in the game, but I moved house a couple of years back and got a new PC. I remember spending hours scouring through the downloads folder, deleting everything I didn't want. I barely remember anything about that game now, if I'm being honest, but I know I clogged it up. When Sims 2 arrived I was keen to get CC into the game right away. I downloaded mods and generally turned my game into whatever I wanted it to be.

My game was soon filled with hundreds and hundreds of custom items: clothing, hair, furniture. It was awful.ĭuring the later stages of the original Sims game, I discovered the wonders of third party custom content. Aurora turned the pad around to show the portrait to her subject. I didn't think it would be an actual nude Sim, but maybe the sihlouette of a body, or just a sketch of the face. Aurora spent a good while sketching away, studying Tash closely.

Tash was a wild young thing, and she was more than happy to whip off her clothes and oblige. She was a dab hand at sculpting, too.Īfter she'd spent a few days attending parties and making new friends, Aurora pulled out her brand new sketch pad and asked her friend Natasha if she would pose for her.

She had a level 10 painting skill, and she had painted so many pieces in the past that she could fill a gallery. The Sim below, Aurora Redwood, set off for University with high hopes of becoming an artist. When I don't cheat, I get annoyed by how laggy the game is.Īnd then, every so often, my Sim will do something that just makes me laugh. I use cheats because I just don't get long enough to play the game right now, and so I pretty much remove the fun of the challenges. They have no social lives, no real hobbies, and they haven't had an interaction with their spouse since the wedding two weeks ago. I always end up with these robotic, dull Sims who just move from goal to goal. I think the sheer amount of content in the Sims 3 really started to take away from the heart of the game.
