Review: The Sims 3 Seasons brings good cheer


Since its release in 2009, The Sims 3 has seen a number of expansions and add-ons to enhance its core gameplay. Over its course, we've seen pets, new traits, items, clothing, careers, and even supernatural creatures all added to the game. In short, the game basically has it all. But until recently, The Sims 3 has lacked one vital feature: seasons.

The Sims 3, which prides itself on being the most in-depth simulator on the market, has missed out on the one key element of every day life: weather. Is it only me, or does it seem a bit strange that the game has received zombies and fairies before snow and rain?

MASHOONO!Collapse )

the best part is that the aliens are back!!!

my mom still has the sims games that she took form me as a tween because I wouldn't interact with kids my age. I wish I had them back now :/

I was ALL ABOUT getting sims skins & accessories.

bahahahahahaha. Sounds like me now, a nearly 30-year-old who would rather stay home and cuddle my cat and spend hours playing Sims than being out with people. Fuck people. I hate them. :)

LOL. She was like 'you can't control people like you do in the sims' but that wasn't the case. I just liked sims...better XD Clearly, it was an early Aspergers' sign

I honestly seem to give up sims the moment one of the characters annoys me.

And then I just trap them in a concealed room with a fireplace and chairs. And then have an affair.

That's me every time I play the Sims/any game. I'm into it for a few days, then I get bored, do bullshit stuff with it, then forget about it for 2 years.
saintssin 25th-Nov-2012 09:42 pm (UTC)
It's addictive as fuck.

for like a day.

I can't be bothered to give my sims active and fun lives.

I have like 10 families spread out in 5 towns and it's so annoying when I get all into the shit, creating soap opera story lines and having legit OTP creys.

Like, I have this Hispanic identical twin family in Hidden Springs. The sister is bisexual and forever alone. The brother is gay, his first bf cheated on him and his first husband wants to confess to having an affair.

I was not amused so I moved them to Twin Brook to start over. Now, I have this story line where the twin sister is in love with her brother and dresses exactly like his gf (whom he just got pregnant and proposed to). They actually hate each other in the game and look just alike so whenever he's around they're both fighting for his attention. I wish incest was still allowed tbh. /sane

I shamefully played this from 08:30 till 23:00 on the day it was released. WAAAH.

I am loving Seasons way more than Supernatural. Supernatural didn't feel completed to me, like they just mashed together a bunch of features that didn't even fit together.

Speaking of nraas I just started using traveler and love it soo much. I just sent my sims on vacation to Sunlit tides and I'm going to use it to send my sim to visit her hometown Bridgeport (she moved from there to Appaloosa).
daisychain_halo 25th-Nov-2012 08:53 pm (UTC)
they rly could have combined supernatural and seasons into one, imo
mikachanyo 25th-Nov-2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
Ia! supernatural did not have enough to warrant its own expansion. Plus I don't get why they did add aliens to it.
vehiclesshockme 26th-Nov-2012 12:35 am (UTC)
I liked Supernatural for about a week and then I ended up turning off all of the Supernatural options.
daisychain_halo 25th-Nov-2012 08:54 pm (UTC)
i tried downloading a nraas mod once & it didn't work at all fsr :/

a shame, b/c they seem like they make the game more fun.
isuspectnargels 25th-Nov-2012 09:01 pm (UTC)
any mod I dl never seems to work for me =/ idk if I'm doing something wrong but I just gave up on them.
kittenmittons 25th-Nov-2012 10:29 pm (UTC)
Did you make sure you downloaded the right version of the mod for what patch your game is at? I know people have had problems by not having their mods/patches match up.
madridnights 25th-Nov-2012 08:54 pm (UTC)
i'm actually playing seasons right now.

it was like appaloosa plains was made for winter.

and IF ANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO USE NRAAS MODS, YOU SHOULD USE OVERWATCH. it clears up buggy stuff that happens in the game.
onyxobsidian 25th-Nov-2012 08:54 pm (UTC)
I kinda want the Sims, but I miss the simplicity of the first Sims game and how you could hack and alter everything, have nude Sims, etc. Basically you could change the game to your liking if you were clever enough.

Speaking of which, did anyone ever play Petz 3, where you could hack the game and change the look of your animals? If you did it right, you could make them look however you wanted, but if you went in there and just fucked shit up, it would come in looking some some sharpened blob demon?
winninghearts 25th-Nov-2012 08:58 pm (UTC)
you can still do that, though
andres01234 25th-Nov-2012 08:56 pm (UTC)
Fuck this shit, I still get random zombies in my house all the time, I'm tired of having to click on the mailbox...
sh3l8y 25th-Nov-2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
QUESTION: I've purchased all the expansion packs, if I torrent the stuff packs will it eff up my game?
piratesswoop 25th-Nov-2012 09:01 pm (UTC)
nope, just use games4theworld's torrents and their ultimate fix guide and you should be fine
andres01234 25th-Nov-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
not at all
unique_lilpixie 25th-Nov-2012 08:58 pm (UTC)
I think I will buy this tomorrow since I forgot I have a $20 gift card for ebgames from last Christmas.
dragonfly3007 25th-Nov-2012 08:59 pm (UTC)
Fuck Sims 3, I want Sims 4. Unless it's a pile of shit, then Sims 2 forever!
x_brittacular 25th-Nov-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
what would even be in Sims 4, a webcam where we watch ourselves play God?
lanavis 25th-Nov-2012 11:02 pm (UTC)
lol
chimbleysweep 25th-Nov-2012 09:22 pm (UTC)
Sims 4 would likely be impossible to play.
sky3205 25th-Nov-2012 11:12 pm (UTC)
there aren't computers in the world that would function with Sims 4. I even doubt EA has that technology
isuspectnargels 25th-Nov-2012 09:00 pm (UTC)
I really want Sims Seasons, it looks like so much fun.
howlcosmiclove 25th-Nov-2012 09:01 pm (UTC)
I loved The Sims 2: Seasons. That and University were the best imo.
Can't wait to get this one.
itakebacksunday 25th-Nov-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
i'm playing seasons rn and i can't wait for some actual weather. summer is the most boring season. it's been hot and sunny for like 4 days. GIVE ME RAIN!
madridnights 25th-Nov-2012 09:07 pm (UTC)
you can just use cheats to change the season!! unless you want to do actually gameplay idk. LOL i just changed it to winter in my game bc summer is so boring. D:
vervain 25th-Nov-2012 10:33 pm (UTC)
its always raining in my town like never ends and my sim got hit by lightening
spiffynamehere 25th-Nov-2012 11:39 pm (UTC)
You can change the length of seasons under options.
itakebacksunday 26th-Nov-2012 12:34 am (UTC)
Ah, thanks!
nicenicegirl 25th-Nov-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
this damn game seriously takes hours of my time up and i don't even realize it until it's too late. i feel like i play for 20 minutes but it's really like 4 hours.
yourremedy 25th-Nov-2012 11:56 pm (UTC)
Bahahaha story of my life!

I put it in like on 11am on a day off and I'm like, "Okay..I'll play until I want to take a nap at like 1." (Yes, I'm frikken lazy on my days off.) Then all of a sudden it's like 6:30 pm and i'm like, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LIFE?!?!?!?!?
induced_panic 25th-Nov-2012 11:57 pm (UTC)
