After the immediate disappointment of the Fast Lane car-themed stuff pack, and the belated disappointment after Late night, I vowed not to get Outdoor Living, because a garden-themed stuff pack seemed pointless. I was right. But it made a nice addition to Generations. It takes a stuff pack and an expansion to make it feel like a substantial addition to your game.

My name is Dave Manners. I live in a house that is always being re-modeled. My parents are crazy about expanding and buying more stuff. They keep saying it is the legacy they want to leave behind. Personally, I wish they’d just spend a little more time with me and my brother.

When did my game of The Sims 3 go bad? I had few of the issues that plagued players after installing World Adventures. Basically because after three ‘vacations’ I stopped using WA. I think some issues started after Ambitions, but most of my game’s problems must have started after installing Late Night. My town was swamped with celebrities, vampires and cars. It was laggy, it did the stop-motion thing when I added some objects from LN to lots and simply was no fun to play within weeks. When I sought help on TS3 forums, I was accussed of using ‘bad mods’. My game was mod free, and custom content free, up to that point. It was the game itself that was at fault, and no one seemed to get it.

The Sims 3 Generations expansion pack is another chapter in the Sims 3 game. It adds gameplay that fans will recognise from TS2 expansion packs, while staying clear of the things that were boring in TS2. Did they finally get it right? Maybe. So far Generations is a good mix of new things, like the Imaginary Friend, and old things returning, such as pillow fights. It is still not a completely bug-free expansion pack, as a look at the official Sims 3 forums shows. There are still many players that have trouble getting the game to run.

After a few months of inactivity, we’re kind of back with more sims things. Let’s start with some information about free stuff at the very expensive The Sims 3 Store. For more information, also visit this forum thread at the official TS3 forums.
It’s the new thing for games to add content through online features. TS3 has its own store for furniture, clothes and hairstyles. And it costs extra money. It’s not enough to spend money buying a game, you have to have the opportunity to spend even more money to make your game fun to play.

I’ve just started playing The Sims 2 again. And I like it. Five had been telling me to try going back to TS2, because I am becoming more and more frustrated with The Sims 3. Even with all the expansions, stuff packs and tons of stuff I bought from The Sims 3 store, the game just remains a buggy, nearly unplayable game. It seems they rely on people to buy expansion packs to flesh out a game that was barely more than a demo when it first came out. Read the rest of this entry →

As well as joining the local fire department he has been doing good deeds all day.
