tips any one please im new and i need help i havent started to play my game yet but im getting info and stuff to help me play please like maybe faQs
Goodness gracious, almost newsim2owner. When you get the game, load it, play it for awhile. I think you'll find the answers to a lot of your questions by playing the game. There's a search function at the top of this page. Try it out.
Trust me, you are in the right place for tips and information. Just reading the threads we have posted in the past year will give you all the information you need. Trust me, most of us here have been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt. LOL And we have shared all of our learning experiences here. The best tip I can give you for starting out is to start slowly, take your time, use the tutorials. I personally skipped right over the tutorials because I had spent the summer building sims in Body Shop and writing their stories, and I wanted to see them "come to life." So, I quickly built a little hosue (okay, a trailer) with one bathroom, and put a single mother and her 4 children (two toddlers! I wanted twins!) into it. To my complete and utter surpirse, it was too much for the poor momma, and for me to handle. She wound up loosing her kids to the social worker. I actually went to bed that night feeling like she'd taken MY KIDS, it hurt me that much!! LOL Since then, and with the help of cheats and mods, I've learned how to manage a sim household much better, and the social worker never darkens my Simmy Doorstep. But, hey, had I started out slowly, maybe it would have never happened at all. The next house I played was a single romance sim, and throughoughly enjoyed learning the game playing him. He's now my favorite sim. I'm thinking of letting him become a vampire, since he's now woo-hooing one.
Vamps are fun, Kristal! Let me know if you need some tips. I included a few in the "I can't get bitten" thread ... they're tricky at first but once you get the hang of it they're really great. For one thing, they never need to eat, shower, use the potty, anything, or at least very seldom, which leaves lots of time to romance other sims or just have fun.
Oh, I think Napoleon's well on his way to being bitten. He's romancing this townie that was bitten, Nikki Knight. I'm surprised she didn't get him last night after they (ahemed) in the photo booth. Just one question: Can Vampires still father children? :silly:
Kristal, you are so kind. All I could think of after seeing all of newsim2owner's posts on the forum was my own kids' demands, years and years ago, for some computer game or other (like King's Quest, if my memory is working) which I'd buy (I was often putty in their little hands .) Then they'd want the hint book at which I drew the line . After spending all that money on the game I didn't want them breezing through the solutions in half an hour. Games are expensive and I wanted the thing to keep them occupied for as long as possible! Obviously, this all occurred before the internet and walk-thru's. The computer we had then, BTW, was a Tandy 1000. Anyone remember those? Anyone remember life without the internet? Am I dating myself?
I had to influence the vampire to bite a playable sim (Heather Huffington) in order to make Spike a vampire. Yes, they can have children. I'm toying with the idea of (eventually) doing that to Spike and London. I think they'd be terrible parents, though, so I'd have to be in the right frame of mind. As far as I can tell, the only way two vamps can raise a kid and not get it taken away is to enthrall some poor townie to live with them and care for it during the day. Which my sims are definitely not above doing.
My first "laptop" weighed about 20 lbs, had a CRT monitor, and the keyboard clipped onto the top with briefcase latches. If you can name it, you win a cookie!
I'm not sure but it sounds like the "luggables" we carried out on jobs. Those were Compaqs. They were extremely heavy. It got to be embarressing for the little CPA firm I worked for because the companies we audited had, of course, moved on to lighter weight laptops and laughed at our dinosaurs.
Oh, oh, oh, I just saw this on I Love The 80's the other night. They were making fun of them. One comedian was holding it up, then put it down and saying, "Check out my arms. Biceps of steel. Ever see this kind of arm on an IT guy? It's because of my new laptop. . . " and I can't remember the name!!
Kapro. Hmmm. I checked with my husband. Yes, it was a luggable Compaq used by we auditors. It looked a lot like that Kapro. How about half a cookie
