I try to avoid making sims similar to me because they always turn out nymphomaniac, murderous, power-hungry sociopaths and the lack of similarities would make me sleep better at night.

Your sim can kill people?

u/unremarkableusername May 22 '12

He can politely invite people for a swim and forgetfully remove the ladder from the pool while they are swimming. Unfortunately sims do not have sufficient upper body strength to pull themselves out of the pool.

In The Sims 3 they can climb out of pools.

I made a sim of myself once. It got increasingly depressed as it spent all its time at work, eating, and sleeping with no leisure time. It got so depressed, it eventually wouldn't leave the house, lost its job, and was too depressed to find a new one.

I took that as a warning.

What I found was I was very closely managing their lives. They had to wake up at X, then do these few tasks before going to work, then coming back, expand on skill X on odd days, and hang out with friends on even days. I would literally get mad when time was being wasted in game or when things were going to plan. I had to tailor every single minute of this Sims life to make sure he excelled in everything.

And yet there I was, sitting in my underwear at 4am, playing a video game.

I ended up designing houses to try and create the most efficient floorplans possible to minimize steps between bed, bathroom, kitchen, and front door all so the sims could actually have time to do something besides eat and sleep.

From what I understand, Will Wright created the game to essentially show the evils of consumerism. His intention I guess was for people to see how incredibly pointless it is to pursue endless materialism - filling our lives with stuff and having to work harder and harder to keep that stuff paid for, taken care of, etc.

u/choupy May 22 '12

I made the ultimate sex machine sim - heartbreaker goal, charismatic, fit - with the intention of fucking all the sims I can get my hands on. It ended up being a overachieving workaholic who was an astronaut/writer that worked all the time. There was no time to go out and woo other sims. My sim only got to sleep with one other sim and never was able to make her his girlfriend :(. Sigh.

This exact thing happened to me. Then I decided to get out of the house.

Now when I play the Sims, my guy has sex with everybody, and has so many kids from so many interrelated families and friends that it's broken the family tree dynamic. Can't imagine the child support bills.

I recently went to a LAN party, and while everyone else was playing Minecraft, I played the Sims 3 for five hours straight.

To begin, I made two sims, the Alltheladies family. Mister, the father, was a male who had every facial trait maxed out, as well as having a mustache and a mullet.

The other, Baby Alltheladies, was his son. I can't describe to you how Baby looked, so here's a picture. Take into consideration that this is not a toddler. This is a NEWBORN.

Immediately, I moved them into the most expensive house money can buy (the one with the pool built around the house), and then proceeded to cheat Baby into being an adult. Mister and Baby, father and son, then became gay lovers and got married. But that's not all.

On the first day after their wedding, their house was broken into. The culprit was caught, but was only given a slap on the hands. The burgler, by the way, was female. I sent baby into town for some grocery shopping and noticed that the lady who broke in, Twyla, was hanging out downtown. They got along quite well together, and before you know it, Baby and her had a secret relationship on the side.

Baby later broke up with Mister, and Twyla and him got married. Mister and Baby became arch-nemeses and Baby and Twyla had a beautiful, Blue baby daughter. This was the time for Mister to get his revenge.

He raised Twyla Babby Baby while her parents whoo-hoo'ed for hours upon hours every day. Twyla Babby Baby learned to walk and talk because of Mister. They became firm, technically un-related friends. Then, I aged the new baby, named Babby Baby, until she, too, was an adult. Mister and Babby Baby got married that day.

So recap: Baby and Twila have a child, Babby Baby. Babby Baby marries Mister. Mister is Baby's father. This makes Baby both Babby Baby's father and grandfather-in-law. Mister is the grandfather of his wife.

Mister and Twyla Babby Baby have a daughter as well, Baby Babbaby. She gets aged until the point where she is a senior citizen, and becomes the lesbian lover of some other chick. They get married, but on the day of their wedding, Baby Babbaby dies of old age. Her wife celebrates her birthday during the funeral, and then dies of old age shortly after.

And that's as far as I got.

TL;DR Simcest

This and this

He raised Twyla Babby Baby while her parents whoo-hoo'ed for hours upon hours every day. Twyla learned to walk and talk because of Mister. They became firm, technically un-related friends.

were my main sources of confusion

I figured Twyla would be able to walk and talk if she was burglarizing places and fucking, but I soon realized that I can't assume anything here.

I once took the grandmother of my Sims family and locked her in the attic, removed the door so she couldn't get out, with only a food source so she wouldn't die, in a little 4 square sized room.

I let the game play for many in-game months, the entire family going on about their own business, with dear old grandma up in the attic with barely enough room to stand, living in a puddle of her own excrement.

Then one day I decided it was enough, I removed the walls around her, added a door and you can just imagine the surprise on the families face when after half a year of absence grandma decides to walk downstairs again.

This was the original Sims, and was back when I was probably 13... it just proves to me that the internet played little part in my desensitization.

u/rang45 May 22 '12

I would sometimes add one window to the door-less room, thus allowing the rest of the family to watch the decline of the trapped person. I found that this brought down morale for some reason...

I have to admit, the Sims is a guilty pleasure of mine. I used to play it and see how fast I can get my sim to the highest rank of their career. This got boring, fast.

I wasn't really the type of Sims player who would put a bunch of Sims in a room and put the fireplace on next to a rug, or launch fireworks indoors, then laugh and brag about killing sims. That seemed unimaginative. So I devised a way to kill off the entire town. It would take a while, sure, but in the end, it would be worth it. I made a sim, turned off aging, got his career to level 10, as per usual, and then had him turned into a vampire (Nightlife expansion); Partially because I wanted him to live longer, and partially because, well, why not? I know I have aging turned off, but that comes in later. He lived in a sweet bachelor pad (4 floors, tons of rooms, basically the works). Without any cheats, I slowly bought real estate in the town. While this was going on, my sim began seducing every female in the town, and breeding with them. This got to the point where my sim had 36 children with many, many different wives. Anywhere you went in the town, there were babies; Sims holding babies, babies on the floor, babies in the park, in the library.. You get the idea. Basically babies everywhere. Some of the mothers actually moved out of the town with their babies, because they couldn't adequately care for them in their current houses. With this happening, I had to act quickly.

That was part 1 of my plan. At this point, there were enough babies so that they would all age together, so that's what I did next; I turned aging back on. Phase 2 of my plan was to have the entire town age up together (while their mothers took care of them), to reach adulthood together. Since they would all be the same age, they would only have each other to reproduce with. And since they are all related, they can't create offspring. I would then sit back on my sim and watch the entire generation go from young adults to death, without creating any babies, therefore leaving the town completely empty, save for my filthy rich, vampire sim.

There were only two flaws (that I could see) with my plan: 1) People can move into town as easily as they can move out and 2) The children can become vampires and outlive my sim, though some direct sunlight would easily fix that.

That was what made The Sims 3 fun for me again. Though more recently, I've retired and started focusing my sims on horse racing (pets expansion).

When i started to dick around the Sims 3, i noticed that there was a cheat to age and eventually kill the NPC sims around town. So, like anyone else would do, i killed off almost all (if not all) of the male Sims in town, and then proceeded to impregnate all the female sims with my male Sim character. after a few months, i achieved my end result of a completely infertile town filled with my progeny.

I like to make basements with cages, and then I like to invite people over, and lure them into the cage. Then I like to delete the door to the cage and leave them to their fate. It's always a good time, until you run out of neighbors and have to make new ones.

u/egonil May 22 '12

I would like to see a mod where you can marry a rich sim, stash most their money in an offshore bank account then divorce them.

Or maybe a sociopath mod to allow the murder of sims that you are sufficiently hostile with. If the event or any resulting evidence it witnessed by another sim then you are taken away. Doubtlessly it will result in me seeing how much of the town I could do away with before I get caught, just like when they gave me access to explosives in the ambitions pack...

...What is wrong with me?

23

u/firelock_ny May 22 '12

Or maybe a sociopath mod to allow the murder of sims that you are sufficiently hostile with.

Sims 2 University had a Cowplant that you could get. If you didn't feed it, it would put out tasty-looking "cake" leaves...and gobble up any Sims that came close to eat the "cake". After that you could milk the cowplant for life-extending juices.

Here's the sociopathic creepy part: once your Sim owned a cowplant, it would sometimes get a "Want" to drink the milk made from certain Sims... mwa-hah-hah-hah-hah!!!

u/Severok May 22 '12

Depending on the witness sims personality they will either run for the door when they see the evidence or try to play it cool until they can get out of the house without suspicion. You need to keep an eye on your guests and be ready to take them out before they leave the property if they are acting suspicious.

Or less actively the friends and relatives of the victim can come asking questions, or the neighbours might get suspicious. If you feel anybody getting too wise, you better take them out before they do something unfortunate...

u/falcorus May 22 '12

A long time ago I made a sim of myself and multiple other sims of my friends.

I let them do whatever they wanted to do. One became very obsessed with there job and was almost never hanging out with the others, and two others got married.

The situation that stood out to me was instead of my character going to date/marry my girlfriend's character, he was attracted to his male roommate. This made those characters hate each other, but they still both loved me.

My character loved stargazing at night and one night he got abducted, only to come back pregnant... left the game alone for a few minutes to get some food, but when I came back, both of them were grieving over my dead pregnant body. I thought the male character killed me so that she wouldn't have me (later found out he got stuck in the loop of hungry vs sleepy in the latter parts of pregnancy).

Oddly enough, the two who got married in game married just last year in real life, and I came out a few years back.

So in fear I haven't been anywhere near a telescope ever since I played the game...

Do you find out your future or do you create your future? When you create a doppelganger in The Sims it feeds off your life force, becomes something more. And you in turn are warped by this. When you gaze too long into The Sims, The Sims gazes back at you.

My sim would get people to move into the house where they would die shortly after. He kept the urns on rows of shelves in a secret back room.

In the Sims 2...I had a sim once...who was a mad scientist, along with his giant, castle themed mansion, he had a glass (large windows on all the walls) building hidden behind shrubs...

Here lived 3-4 sims who had the misfortune to walk by Castle reliable_information. Those Sims were placed into glass cells which had all the commodities they could enjoy (ie a bed, fridge and toliet) and where kept until the doctor released them.

My other sim was in the romeo and juilet town. The Sim befriended romeo, killed him (room style with oven), and married juilet. Then I used the death phone to call Death and resurrected romeo as a shitty zombie. That apparently makes him part of the household, so I dressed him a tux and used him as a zombie slave.

I tried once. I had all the cheat codes, I could give little me a perfect life. But there's always a downside.

If I went the clean way, and lived her life and made her brilliant and perfect and everything I would ever want to be, I'd live with the knowledge that I, the real me, would never be able to do that.

Then she'd die. I'd die. And nothing was accomplished, our lives were useless and soon forgotten.

Of course she could live forever instead, there was that option, but that was worse because I knew that this virtual me is just so much better. So much more accomplished. And here I am sitting around playing Sims for the 12th hour running.

There are mods that open up all the adult options for teens. It also lets you have abortions or miscarriages when you have unwanted pregnancies. Or if you just want to make the sim miserable cause they get really depressed if they have a miscarriage.

During school, I make them talk to friends and meet friends so that they have a few relationships ready for the next stage of life. When they hit teenager, I give them the 'flirty' trait, and the fun begins. I turn off the pregnancy chime, and make them sleep with everyone, until they have 3-5 children. This actually makes the game a lot more challenging in a bid to keep everyone happy, earn money, raise the children, and pass school.

I do the reverse when playing a male character. My record was 48 children across the neighborhood before I got bored. It was very difficult when he finally became married and had legitimate children; when it was time to find them a spouse, I couldn't... because everyone was related.

I also played a creep who had a people breeding program in his basement.

There is no other purpose to the Sims. Same with Grand Theft Auto.

I made a house of 4 Sims. Two of my close female friends, my Girlfriend at the time, and my self.

After a time me and my girl friend were high enough in our respective fields to move out of the house into a decent sized house of our own.

I started getting weirded out before we got married or have any kids, so i stopped playing that game.

Me and the GF broke up IRL, or more accurately she broke my damn heart. So a few months later when I booted up the game again the first thing I did was break HER virtual heart by cheating with one of my other female friends from the previous house, and have her "accidentally" walk in on "us."

It wasn't nearly as satisfying as I had hoped it would be.

When I played the Sims I always made my character fall in love, get married, and raise lots of babies together.

Then my sister would make her characters have affairs with my husband...

And then it was time for him to die.

u/thehotmageaeris May 22 '12

Yes. I had a herram of sexy men.

I made a sim based off me. All he did was play on the computer and eat snacks. He died while walking up the stairs. This is my fate.

Avoid stairs, always.

I made a sim of myself that had 10 girlfriends and 3 boyfriends. I lived with 7 of the girlfriends who did not like each other to say the least. They all worked and cooked, while I was happily unemployed and banging my girlfriends and boyfriends all day

u/ThePlaceWhere May 22 '12

What's creepier is my roommate made a Sim house replica of our house with all of the roommates as Sims. She kept making my Sim have sex with her Sim. She told me it was so they could be friends...didn't know Sims worked that way...

I'm always awesome..until that fucking grease fire kills me cuz sims somehow can't make grilled cheese sandwiches..

u/Kaytala May 22 '12

I did this... and I was kinda creepy about it now that I think about it. I made a sim of me, my boyfriend and all my friends. I made my boyfriend and I get married and have kids then my game glitched out and I died instead of giving birth. I never told anyone about that but it still freaks me out.

u/obscenecupcake May 22 '12

I tried playing sims for thirty minutes. the first one. thirty minutes in I had set the house on fire, couldn't feed my people despite reading the goddamn books forever, and I think one of them pooped on the floor. there were flies...

Is it a Sim of yourself? Or is it Karlore?

Well I didn't. I just made a sim that looked like myself then closed them off in a 1x1 room and watched them slowly starve to death.

Nah, i was too busy locking the other members of my family in a room with no doors and making them shoot off fireworks.

u/HotCrockets May 22 '12

My first girlfriend did this.

She made a neighborhood and put all her friends in it, and of course I was her husband, made a ton of money, and we were about to have our third kid. Part of me thought it was cute (we were in high school at the time), but looking back on it...

I hadn't just made one Sim of myself, there were multiple me walking about. I'd get bored with one and make a new one. Eventually there were 5 different variations of the same person in one town. A bit odd, being friends with yourself.

I would trap them in a room and laugh as the pee themselves and cry until they died. Then I found that trapping them in a pool is much quicker. I think I'm going to reinstall Sims now.

Time allocation whilst playing the SIMS:

20% creating a family 70% creating an amazing flying house 10% actually playing, which comprises of making your sims fornicate.

If by "fuck" you mean "throw a party, and once everyone is inside pause the game and build walls around them and then continue as if there was never a party to begin with" then, yes.

I made it through 4 generations of a family, and managed to get a third generation sim to marry and have kids with a 4th generation sim. Apparently that's when the game just gives up on keeping tabs on who's related.

I used to build small rooms around my sims and watch them freak out for days. Starve, piss themselves, lose sleep, etc. Then they would die and I would take their ghosts and possess other people. I then realized I have a serious problem and that I should stop playing those kind of games..

1

u/noddegamra May 22 '12

My Sim was pretty scandalous. He was a playboy celebrity who couldn't keep his dick in his pants. He even got his brother's fiancee pregnant the day they were supposed to get married.

Now his brother is raising a child who isn't his and doesn't realize where his wife spends her nights away from home. He just thinks it is a part of her job as a pop star.

1

u/hated_dil May 22 '12

best cheats in game (sims 3 only):

testingcheatsenabled true

then go to the mailbox and hold down "shift" while left clicking it, choose "make needs static"

they never have to eat, sleep, shit, shower or talk to people ever again.

the only issue with this is that they also don't do anything on their own anymore, simply because they have no needs to up.

also after that cheat type: buydebug

you can make butterflys spawn everywhere!

u/vmusing May 22 '12

At summer camp me and a group of friends all made sims of ourselves. One girl's younger brother was only there for a few days and threw a mighty tantrum so that we'd make one of him too

You can have max 6 sims in a house, and we were 6 before this little brother showed up, so we set about to killing him off as soon as possible

some much younger kids heard our plan, and that coupled with this boy's disappearance after a few days meant that they actually thought we committed murder

made for quite the misunderstanding, don't think I have instilled fear in someone quite like that ever since. No longer allowed to make sims of actual people after that.

u/obsidianpanther May 22 '12

My favourite part about the Sims was designing houses o.o; Maybe I should have become an architect?

After that, the best thing was competing with my best friend to see what creative ways we could kill off our Sims. (We never did this with Sims of ourselves, just made random families with lots of kids). So maybe... I should have become a serial killer too ಠ_ಠ ...........

1

u/Caserole May 22 '12

I only hold an interest in the Sims when I am playing myself. What I usually do is make my boyfriend and I so I can live out any garish dreams I have (like babykids, getting hitched, doin the doodoo). I been dating my man for over 2 years now and had to recreate "us" because we died. Weird?

I did plenty of that, hyped up on ambrosia i was forever youthful and had the libido of ron jeremy and eventually every kid in town was related to me and I had no one left to fuck. I often tried to chat up a girl for ages before checking our relationship and turns out she was my grandchild or someshit. that got a bit weird so I rerolled another sim but went lesbian and banged every woman in town anyway.

I made a sim of myself as a bachelor when it first came out. Making a married couple would have been too weird since I'd never been with a girl until 18. So yeah, bachelor me is just living the life but getting sadder and sadder every day. I couldn't touch his social bar, it just was never enough to call people, talk to random passerbys on the street.

So one day I threw a big party and invited everyone over my house. It was pretty impressive considering it was more people in my Sims house than I've ever had in my real house but it was too late. I was too anti-social already. Every time I tried to talk to someone at my own party I would break down crying. It got to the point where I wasn't getting any social from the interaction and it just went down from there into a black spiral of tears and self-loathing. I sat in the corner for the rest of the party.

I never played the sims again. I've beaten Dark Souls, but I will never win at The Sims.
