The Sims General /tsg/

Previous thread: dead

Yes, TS4 is very much worth playing. They've added tons of free content in patches. Gamepacks and expansions have greatly increased the fun also. At least give it a pirate.

Any mods to add men's underwear for girls in TS3?

Нет

Nope


The price got lowered, and you can use g2a if you don't want to go directly through EA to get it, most torrented versions are outdated which sucks as well

You seem to imply that giving money to EA is ever a valid option.

I don't really buy anything through origin, I just get the keys off g2a so that I'm not giving money to them.

As well I just copied and pasted this OP template from another thread so it doesn't really reflect my own opinion

Also LGR is disappointed in EA, what a surprise

Your dreams will forever remain unfulfilled user. Most recent mods for Sims 3 seem to be just lots and animation mods which is a shame since Sims 2 was still getting some decent mods well into Sims 3's life and Sims 4 is just meh.

I still want to know how you search for that

I want to know too. I've never found good terms for it in English or Nipponese.

It's also linked in the /hgg/. Let me spoonfeed you faggoty ass:

drive.google.com/open?id=0B6g_NArb68F7X3dIQ1dzZFlBN2M

Considering the only thing good 4 has over 3 is the expansion that adds clubs, i would be too.

I don't want them to get rid of it, I hope they manage to release city life eventually and maybe even pets after that, but the devs should really just be honest and stop being so secretive about it, at least if that were the case we would be able to trust them

Weird, in my head I thought it was for sure a Mega link

My memory is shit

It's EA, though, so I don't see them doing that anytime soon.

When I think of EA I have no expectations so them doing anything related to the game gets my attention

3 is absolute shit performance-wise. This is a huge deal-breaker to me and I didn't buy any expansion pack. People who wasted thousandths of bucks on every TS3 DLC must be suffering to death, all of this shit is able tol kill your game no matter what hardware you have and nothing can be done about it. And didn't they also tried to sell their created families in store too?

I don't understand how anyone can defend this piece of shit. I would understand if TS3 worked fine without infinity loadings or constant crashes, I would forgive shitton of overpriced DLCs because EA and because piracy exist or that Sims are pretty ugly there, but what's the point of TS3 if you can't play at least all expansion packs? I honestly had more fun with vanilla TS4, although mostly because of CAS.

TS1 and TS2 are the only good TS games and even with these I'm not fully satisfied. Shame there will never be the best TS game with great features from previous games because EA own franchise. If only Maxis wasn't EA's bitch.

I'm trying to figure this one out, because until the 64-bit executable for TS4 was released sometime last November, it ran like shit on my then-newly built PC. To this day, it still uses as much, sometimes more resources than TS3.

Is it because I have only two expansions installed on 3?

You mean that it constantly crashed in 15-20 minutes? I dropped the game instantly because of this bug, it's not even about memory leak it seems, though I have no idea if this issue was related to pirated versions only. The bug was probably fixed in November as you said, however, 64-bit executable was released last year if I'm not mistaken.

Yes. The game plays fine if you have two expansion packs or maybe three, when played with two I had no issues, although loadings were quite long, especially if when played the same family for a long time. If you install all of them, you probably won't be able to go outside of CAS because the game going to crash and simple loading will take plenty of time too, several minutes for sure, I think I had to wait for 10-15 minutes if not more. It doesn't help that even in CAS the game was slow as fuck because it need to load CAS items.

My favorite Sims game is the TS2. I really liked how animated everyone was and how cartoony and versatile their expressions were. Also, I really liked making people fight and hate each other. Too bad in the TS4 this seems really bogged down even to the point where person doesn't fight with their cheating partner as much as they should

why would you do that to yourself? i torrented a 1.20 version which is the same as the ultimate fix version. i believe that's like 1 patch behind the current original version which is more than good enough.

I did that to myself because I had the money and I wanted to be able to download stuff from the gallery, if you have a pirated version that isn't up to date adding sims to your tray is a nightmare and it also takes a much longer time for a crack to be released than it does a patch, and most of the times the crack itself isn't even up to date

Then how do you find what you have? Just by dumb luck?


They just need to release the on-disc toddler DLC first

simsvip.com/2016/08/29/rumor-sims-4-modders-find-evidence-toddlers-game-files/

They're too busy adding trannies and tumblr pronouns.

...

As bad as 3 is, I'll take shit performance with actual content over a game that improves performance but has next to nothing for you to do and takes out a bunch of content for no good reason.

TS3 arguably has the best core gameplay but it's virtually unplayable without a super expensive PC to play it with

I dont see TS3 expansions as a necessity to have them all though, I think theyre really tailored to different tastes and some of them can be intrusive to people who dont want to take part in the sort of content they provide.

It's really about mixing and matching EPs that have content you want

except for pets, seasons, ambitions, and generations. those are absolute necessities.

This. Also Sims 3 had more mods over the course of two years including major game changing core mods. Sims 4 only has something like MC Command Center and Wicked Woohoo to show for all this time

Yep, just luck.

They added custom pronouns too?

wwwwww

Nah. they didn't add pronouns, just new body types

It seems to run reasonably well on my shit laptop - and that's with a ton of expansion packs and LOTS of mods..
And no crashes too.

I feel like sims runs better on laptops since EA knows how many teenage girls play these games.

Well, shit

There is a laptop mode in the Sims 4, not that there's much of a difference anyway with the clay art.

...

It ran like shit on my old laptop, but that's because it was pretty damn old.

will the sims 4 run well on a 2gb vram card?
are there pools yet?

I never encountered that many problems with ts3. I get the occasional crash after a few hours but that's it.

What about Sims Medieval? I liked it.

Too shallow. If it was more of a full sims game it would have been SOAT.

Any mods that add a working (security) camera that can show its display on an in-game monitor?

i dont think the engine can handle that

also that would cause lag issues up the ass

You had one job frog

Sims 3 multitasking mod when?

I want to be able to use my laptop in bed.

Any good security camera and monitor objects period then?

Sims 3 modding is dried up user, it's mostly just houses and simple animations and poses now

What is the setting in kinkyworld so they always accept a woohoo?

it's under the debug menu.

I already have that one. And several others. Although I'm not sure which one Viv is using.

whelp, since I can't figure out what fucks up KinkyWorld so hard and how to avoid it I might as well stick to Passion since that seems to be mostly effective and works on robots

...

...

Gay bear bump

Needs more rainbows.

What are some good mods? besides nrass or kinkyworld.

Hospital overhaul, Zerbu ultimate careers, medieval body for females

why not make an interesting cast of characters who are appealing and not blow up doll levels of inflation

thanks I'll check these out

Well, I know what I'm doing next build.

Sex mods have been around since ts2, you shouldn't be very surprised by this

I know
i'm saying there's other things these games can be used for other than porn

That would be easy to do if Create a Style returned. That's probably the one best feature of Sims 3 and they didn't bring it back


Passion is good if Kinkyworld gives you problems (which it will if you use a Patreon build or the recent release) and it allows for CLANG Custom worlds are a must just to avoid the glitchy EA worlds with poor routing. Core mods outside of NRAAS tend to be more trouble than they're worth

Sold

Any custom world recommendations?

modthesims.info/browse.php?gs=0&u=1515002

come on guys that's the whole point of this thread

I don't have the links right now, but you can search for 'Eastoria' for a decent CC free world that contains most of the EP lots like fire stations for Ambitions, etc. Or if you want to just play with the sex mod and use a minimalist world there's 'Sundavia Resort'


I use some of those and they're still shit to run on and most of the EA worlds are no fun so smaller scale custom worlds are much better for long term play

Cool, thanks user.

I fucked up. It's called Suvadiva Resort

Dead nigger storage

What's a good place to pick up worlds for TS3? Specifically mostly empty ones with mixed temperate/boreal terrain.

mysimrealty.com/Sims3_Worlds.html

thesimscatalog.com/product-category/the-sims-3/the-sims-3-worlds/

Come on EA is a beige shirt too much to ask for?

...

Just a heads up, don't use pack installers and turn custom worlds from sims3packs into package files since for whatever reason that will cause the game to crash

I want to try out the Sims 4 now that some time passed. Any torrent with the last version avaialable with all the expansions/whatever? I'm not gonna buy all that shit holy shit EA what the fuck.

bimp

I'm thinking of doing something for you guys, considering there's a Holla Forums-house, I might take a swing at making a /cow/-house with Chris-Chan, Kim Jong Un, Jessi Slaughter, etc

That's sounds pretty cool, make sure to add fartnoodle to the house.

Still play Sims3.

Finished Jessi, what should her traits be?

Chris-Chan's done

He doesn't have an ED page, is there a /cow/ thread on him?

>>>/cow/176859


These look awesome

...

That's his formal outfit

Also the catalog is stuck and won't update

Why should I play TS4 over 3?

Basically the only reason you'd do so is if you want something that sort of looks like TS3 but doesn't run like ass. Otherwise there's lest than zero need to do it. In particular if you have all the stability and speed adjustments operational (including SSD and/or RAM Disk) it should run well enough.

Well that would be nice because TS3 runs like dogshit for me and I honestly don't use most stuff from expansions. I'll miss the CAS for sure though.

I guess I'll give it a pirate and if I like it then I still won't buy it obviously, fuck EA

Is Holla Forums kill?

I have no clue

Next on the docket is Keemstar

Nice, I also have another character suggestion.

Can he unfuck his shit up in the digital realm?


We're gonna need to BBC to go with Louie if those trips are anything to go by.

It'd be cool to see sim Brendan get his shit unfucked, is there an acting career in Sims 4?

I gotchu' fam

do best fighter

clothes dont matter, she's a schoolgirl if that helps tho

Damn that's a good one!

Holy shit dude, that looks great.

bump

Ok the repack for TS4 is nearly installed, I'm planning on making a numale family though I'd like some more ideas before I start

I need names though and the only ones I can think of for now are Tyrone and Jamal for the father and son, but those are pretty obvious. What are stereotypical names for numales, twitterinas, fuccboi traps, and perfect men?

I'm also not sure about anyone's job other than the numale and Tyrone (no job but attempts to pursue rap career with no music skill)

Inspire yourself from real world events. "Father" could be Anthony, for instance.

I like it, was he actually married and cucked or was that just a meme? If not then who was his wife and who did he get cucked by?

Though I'm still not sure about replicating an established person because if I can't make it nearly 1:1 in the character creator then he'll just feel off which is why I always make original donut steel characters.

For the numale they should be named a really pathetic sounding name like Sam or Melvin, the twitterina should be Parker or Kelly, the trap should have a hottopic/10 name lke Marilyn or Raven, and the aryan should have a man's name like Joshua or George

"father" should be something jewish in origin. or something meek and non-generic, like "Reed"

...

These are good but now I want them to rhyme or alliterate with their titles, here's the frontrunners

What kind of garbage dogshit character creator doesn't let you use the female hairstyles on a male?

This is especially retarded because didn't they make a big fuss about being "trans-friendly" with some update because you get to wear girl clothes on boys?

The potential ability to make a trap was the only reason I installed this instead of TS3, what the fuck man

They missed the boat on proper trap stuff. They decided to pander when non-binary fluid shit is the craze now. They probably think giving female hair would encourage crossdressers, which are of course misogynistic.

Yeah fuck that. If it's any consolation, the NRAAS Master Controller should have some settings that allow accessing all hairs for both genders in Sims 3. You just have to try playing that clunky shit instead.

I think I must have an older version though because they said all the hair and clothing was unlocked. I assumed this was the latest one because there were a bunch of DLCs for it but I guess I underestimated the amount.

they have some girly hair mods
thesimscatalog.com/product-category/the-sims-4/hair-and-beauty/hairstyles/?filter_gender=66

bomp

You can, but your game is probably missing the patch from June which adds it

Am I the only one who played every single The Sims like this?

It's not like I feel thats "my thing" or anything silly like that. I just end up playing that way unconsciously, every time.

Wew lad

I think they knew how retarded that was because they got rid of it in the Sims 3 and 4 from what I can tell and introduced all those self-employed gimmicks.

It begins…

Say whatever the fuck you want of me.

Gray Hair genes are stronk

Shit, you don't need to. Looks like your kids already get the senior citizen discount at the local diner.

...

Damn straight they are. I’ve only ever had my hair usurped in my children when their parents have undergone severe genetic splicing (I turned a nigger into a white girl).

What's the thing for TS3 to install package files better than the launcher?

Oh that one. Pure unforked family tree there. What happened to that game?

Still running it. Gonna post the tree after five or six generations. It’s gonna be yuuuuuuuge.

...

Why'd you do that?

I don't know. I didn't have to but I was also getting tired of all the houses being taken up and not having anywhere to move into

Is this incest?

Couldn't you have just evicted some families so there'd be houses to spare?

I remember using that mod that unlocks the slider limits and making a house of freaks then using a selective breeding program to try to make normal sims.
Didn't work.
Gave up when my mega tall but thin guy and tiny but fat girl gave birth to a normal kid that then distorted into lanky kang when he hit puberty.

I could have, but most of the houses that would be available would have been too small for regular families

Bump

TIM, is that you?

nope, who dat?

how do I git gud at playing The Sims? What's the best career?

Being a painter is probably best for making money, plus you can stay in the house and do it. Kinda cheaty though.

TS3, writer. You can get to where you write one book a week, make massive royalty checks, and spend all the rest of your free time fucking around.

TS4, Programmer. Design your own programs and games, eventually you can just steal money from the internet. Though if you want something more fun and have the Get to Work expansion, scientist.

The best Career is Unemployed.

If you have Roaring Heights (probably not since it generally isn't included in the ALL EXPANSIONS torrents) for TS3 you can make 70500 or something profit by just restoring the junk car (only the looks are needed too) which takes like 3 workdays too with less need for "pre-work", Security/Law is traditionally the "best" starting job due having good pay at low levels, though it evens out at high ones while all your skills are 0, though you are generally better off quitting once you get shit up to snuff.

But seriously though, post-Sims 2 you don't even need to GIT GUD to reach a point where a family is rolling in cash, hell in 4 it is so easy that the "best" buyable shit is locked behind ACHIEVEMENTS rather then money since you can make shitloads just by lounging around the house and picking and planting berries with aprofit margin so large you can eventually hire a Gardener to do none of the work aside from harvesting and still make a profit.

Gitting gud is more being able to think of scenarios/stories and restricting yourself from the good shit, and making cool looking houses and venues that are also practical, seriously, a ton of good looking shit ends up being a mess in actual gameplay due the sims Pathing like retards and people not taking in account how crowded some places like resturants can (and should) get.

Business is the best career for long games. Get to the higher ranks and you can then buy businesses around town. You get a weekly profit from them that is far more than you can earn from any job. Plus rank 10 business work only about 9hours a week.

But I didn't bring my mixtape

That looks like an uglier version of Jem.

CORRUPTION INTENSIFIES!!!

That's truly truly truly Outragous, user.

I've been hoping something like this will happen in my classes. Maybe I'll have to up the exhibition levels of my teachers and see what happens

I've always wondered why the sims doesn't have any competitors. My dream game would be something like the sims but a lot more like real life, like your character could be murdered or a murderer, drugs, cancer, sex all the dramatic stuff in life, its kind of edgy I know but I think it could be cool.

How do I pirate Sims Store content?

There actually are a couple of competitors, they just suck.

they tried

That's just a spinoff. A competitor would have to be made by a different company. I know there's at least one, I remember trying it but I don't remember the name. I think it might have even been a sequel.

Isn't there the "7 Sins" game ? It was like a sexual sims, but yeah, it sucked.

Because of a few factors:
1) requires a team or a dedicated autist with knowledge of coding the engine, rendering, AI, pathing; modeling, rigging, texturing
the sims 3 in particular was extremely ambitious with graphics, going as far as implementing reflective surfaces, mirrors that actually worked and even puddles that reflected, you have all the building aspects of houses, even leveling of terrain
and if I were to liken how the sim's work queue works to how entity tracking is done in the Love engine, for each entity spawned you create a new array, this array contains every detail about the entity and updates it on every render pass or it could be tied to the engine's main loop but that's discouraged, so for something as complex as a sim, it has to run updates within the array each time the array is updated, like for the sim deciding what to do next or pathfinding
then you have the issue of simulation, where you can't just put the world on hold while your sims live out their lives, you have to simulate what other sims are doing (even if a bit watered down compared to sims in-focus), so that you can have a random encounter, or get calls from another sim, or sims growing old at the same rate as your sim
2a) if you have a team doing it, you probably have to pay them, and for that you need money beforehand, only through publishers can this really be accomplished
2b) time, if you tackle this alone you need lots and lots of time, and who knows you may die before it's finished
3) content the developer doesn't like, sure there's a lot of shit that could be added to flesh out what you can do, but how far is a developer willing to go? He may not be thrilled at the idea of sims having a "pedo" personality trait, and taking some time off work to head down to singapore to fuck underage prostitutes
or there being a chance of new mothers getting postpartum depression and drowning their children in a bath tub and burning the house down

Young teens have a very slow lust buildup. Then it jumps after they reach somewhere around half teen phase.

so patience is required.
Constantly exposing them to porn, exhibition and kinky things speeds up the process.
-Put a TV in the classroom and play porn
-Give hard-on pills as gift (very effective)
-kinky jokes, secrets, flashing, teasing

How do I work overtime? I need it to clear an oppertunity.

Games4theworld has them.

Anyone have a multicam pattern for S3?

How the fuck do I stop getting fucked in the ass with a strap-on whenever a chick sim asks to WooHoo, and why the fuck don't the animations check which one's the male and the female?

How did I control the demographics of the game generated population with Master Controller? I remember it was a function of that (or of story progression) but I can't find it.

if you click on the town hall and go into its nrass menu I think its there

I meant under which options.

Anyone know how to make good traps/shotas? I have a hard enough time not making the women look like men.

...

Depends on whether you want pudding or clay

Kinky settings, woohoo options

Because the Sims is mainly for women and making a competitor with features specifically aimed at the few men who play it would be a waste of time and resources

How do you do that? I’ve never seen that option. I’d do it to all my neighbors if I could.

kinkyworld adds porn channels, but by default they just show the mod author's desktop
there was a guide for actually converting video to replace that for the tvs

Nigga, stick to the high seas.

Any good completely legal downloads?
TS3 has always been an unstable mess that crashed with no survivors for me. Especially when I started fucking with it even a little.
Surely a publisher as big as EA would never allow one of their games to be an unstable piece of shit, right?

Do not, under ANY circumstances, purchase a sims game.
TS3 is inexcusably buggy and broken, EA completely ignored the glaring issues with stability, and rather than "waste the time of the developers" by having them fix those issues and create a x64 compatible version to utilize more memory, they just release a new sims game with less shit in it, and watered down graphics that only runs mildly better than it's predecessor.
Fuck EA, pirate that shit.

convinced.
Let's hope nraa can keep my shit from getting just fucked up.

make sure too save a bunch and make backups of your game, I've had some really bad freezes, lost some progress.

Guys, I guess I'm retarded.

Priority 500
PackedFile NRaas_NoCD.package


What the fuck am I doing wrong.

Hell, none of the mods even work.

my ayylmao grew up and filled out her spacesuit

I heard the game let you have a wife in every subworld. Did they ever fix this?

what mod makes huge tits so reasonably shaped? delphy/jonha's sliders make them look mutated and deformed.

Nraas mcastercontroller lets you change body slider multipliers

modthesims.info/d/373389
for breast sliders
modthesims.info/download.php?t=378416
for hips and thighs and other thickness

I tried making a 'mother earth' style character for that last pic, and felt like giving her huge boobs would fit the theme. Those are maxed out sliders and 2.5 on the nraas mastercontroller bust size.

actually does anyone know if the breast sliders introduced in Late Night were added to the base game via a patch? If not, then get Late Night for bigger boobs too

...

I kind of like this

Have someone find his ring and then have them kill him

Bump

Not exactly. The charisma skill requires friends in The Sims 3, so it depends if your job requires charisma or not.

Did you install the mod framework first?

Now it works.
I was retarded. I installed a nraas mod fr the wrong patch level and I started TS3.exe instead of TS3W.exe
Now everything works I throw at it.

bump

Shit I forgot about that since so few careers actually use it (I think it's just Business and Politics in the base game and Life Guard in the Island expansion that I bothered to remember) and is otherwise unimportant if you don't need it.

Does sims 3 still run like shit? I remember it took forever to get in the game when I last played it years ago.

Depends on your PC. I have a fast PC and an SSD and it takes about 5 minutes to load.

Yes, for a number of reasons.
I installed everything to an ssd, and it still hangs for a while on startup.

I don't have an SSD and even with only a few expansions it took over 20 min to load. How about 4? Is it fun?

This is one of the reasons I don' play ts3 anymore, I mostly play ts4 and ts3 if I can, though editing a sim's looks in ts2 is simply put an absolute pain

Short answer? No. Long answer? Well, it's got some things going for it like multitasking and not running like ass, but it is so underwhelming in features both in the base game and the amount of content expansions provide, Not to mention the game is drowning in hipster shit and tranny-pandering on the plus side you can just make women that can piss standing up and is just empty overall even with expansions.

The biggest problem is lack of open world, and that's not something even mods or expansions can fix.

If Sims4 gets an open world it might be even worse than Sims 3 considering it seems to use nearly 2/3 or more the amount of resources on my computer as Sims 3 did if I don't use "laptop mode." All the sims spontaneously doing shit like selfies and other idle animations that weren't present in the games before probably don't help

I think the only reason it runs better is because they cut back on the graphics and removed open world.

Well that's a shame.. I guess I'll try sims 3 again just the base game and hope it will load in at least somewhat reasonable time

just make sure you load it on an ssd, add in those NRAAs mods to fix the broken shit and perform nightly cleanups and trap errors, set memory usage to 4gb in TheSims3.ini file, and uh, maybe look into an fps limiter because some people report the game trying to run at a ridiculous framerate that overheats their graphics card
I managed to get ts3 running on linux with pets, seasons, generations, and late night without much issue. Remember to save fucking constantly, because it will most likely crash after an hour.

...

I Dont have an ssd ;_; but still thanks for the rest of the tips

doesn't look like Wicked Woohoo has surprise sex

not yet at least, though suggestions are being taken

How the fuck did Brianna Wu get into a Sims game?

kek

any updates on these guys? has Louis found an BBC?

Jessi is eyeing up Malcolm Landgraab

Louis hasn't found any BBC just yet, though somehow Franku got dragged into this mess

does he have a pink guy outfit?

unfortunately not, there are't any lycrasuit mods, either so his alternate outfit for now is Joji

...

Depends.

I run it on my laptop and despite having 7 expansions and a metric fuckton of mods, it's been runing bretty good for these last few months. No crahses.
Load times a bitch though.
Just make sure to let the game work a bit once the town/save loads before you start doing shit.

How do I stop the career outfit from reseting to default on promotion?

For 3, took about 3 minutes to load on a Phenom II X4 with 4GB of RAM. As some other anons said, constant disk activity due to swapping (i.e. I didn't have enough RAM). I also had every EP/SP installed as well as the whole fucking store collection of objects, so it's not exactly a fair comparison. It was enough to make it shitty if I ever needed to change locales, e.g. going to the future or whatever, but aside from the framerate dips when traveling into town it ran okay.

On an i7 with 8GB with a caching SSD it loads a fair bit quicker.

Oh btw, if you want tons of scrap you can detonate the military fighter jet statue, that will give you 1500 scrap.
It will cause such insane lag, though, that you really shouldn't do it unless you like killing the process via task manager.

I bought Sims 3 vanilla years ago for $60 (physical copy). I'm interested in getting back now that I have a new computer that won't rubber band like fucking crazy but I want the good expansions too.
Is it worth it anons?

no matter how good your PC is you will still get 10+ minute loading times, stuttering and freezing, the problem is with the game. Just pirate it

did you check if you can add your copy to steam? i was able to add medieval total war 2 once with the code on the box to my steam library

You better pirate this shit.

Why the fuck would you even consider paying for it?

Anybody with experience using the world editor, how long does it usually take to make a good world?
Also do you still have to populate them in game?

The bundle is cheaper right now than getting 3 expansions on sale alone so I guess its not worth giving my old code to steam.

I fucking hate what EA has done to my beloved franchises but, I-I'm too good to pirate…

Are you a bad enough goy to pirate the expansions/stuff packs/store stuff, at least?

I don't see the point in the stuff packs as I can get all the furniture and crap from 3rd parties.
I just want ambitions and seasons like I did when I was a kid.

The stuff packs sometimes came with unique traits and features that supposedly get patched in but I can't access them unless I have the stuff pack anyway.

The store content's similar but worse with the nickel and diming

Once you see it

What are these not-Burgerbucks? And are they seriously charging full price for a 7 year old game with an expansion pack that came out 4-5 years ago?

Is that it?

Hey, what are the recommended mods to use? I know that using all of them makes the game pretty much unplayable.

Probably swedish currency.

If you turn on story progression, you will get immigrants.
Nraas register can also help populate the world.

And you can plop in existing pre-made or player-made households easily enough.

Does anyone use KinkyWorld and Passion at the same time? Does that cause problems running both at the same time?

...

That's funny, I don't think Sam is a pathetic name but it's what I ended up calling the white guy here.

Gave him Goofy, Gloomy and Clumsy and gave the black guy Active, Mean and Self-Assured. I then made a 'cuck shed' kitted out with bed, toilet, fridge, microwave and augmented reality game. The black guy straight off the bat went to the cuck shed; his claim of the territory exceeding what I anticipated, and then started playing the VR way past the point of boredom, which became his main activity.

The numale got saddled with sad spells, a job, cooking, and all the house repairs but he stayed reasonably happy despite his situation and improved his relationships with everyone except 'the Bull'; who stayed in the 'lion's den', gaining vital gamer skill in between sporadic callisthenics and forays into the succubus nest when the white devil was away. The wife had 'romantic' but the cucker managed to piss her off irretrievably despite her flirtatiousness. Too alpha.

Does he hate all the games he plays? ;^)

Also speaking of cucking, I'm trying to cuck Mortimer by making Bella fuck her own mom Jocasta Bachelor

She's the blonde one in the pic, btw

Hot.

Sam is for tomboys and patriots.

Though the first time I tried she got friendzoned right out of the gate

...

2 is not that hard to pirate, the complete collection is usually the first result when you look for it.

The Ultimate Collection is buggy though and causes conflicts and problems with mods that didn't happen before

bump

What exactly do I need to set up kinky world now?

Where's the newest version of the loli mod?

Did he ever find his ring though?

bump

anyone have pack that has Passion and all needed mods? can't for the life of me get Passion or KW to work.

Is this what happens when you give your stand vodka?

Why? Her birthdate is either August 16th (Zoe Post), August 22 (thread she was designed in and TFYC accepting her), August 27th (Baldwin naming) or August 28th (Gamers Are Dead). What the hell happened November 23 and December 21?

Face isn't even that good anyways. Fuck I'm making my own Vivian. What's a good hair mod for her?

i need to fix my sims 4 game someday
