Well, unless you turn off aging, then it's just a dollhouse. Nevermind lifespan (I always upped that a bit anyway), but..."Oh yeah - four hours before work. Lots of time to piss, shower and eat." Nope. O_o

Then you have enough time to do all that you need to do. Altering the time scale was something you can also do in The Sims 3 with NRAAS.

It was working pretty smooth, and like I said; some terrific animations. Just got tedious after a bit. I can do dishes and go to the bathroom in real life...lol Decapitation is better. ?

That's nice. 8 hours ago, FauxFurry said: As a matter of fact, Full House challenges are very much part of the community's activities. In a very real sense, the Sims series is not merely some everyday RPG but a simulation which allows one to seal oneself into a mundane nightmare (except for the fourth installment. That one is a candy coated Hellscape all the way). It is Pleasantville in game form. Of course, one group's Perdition is another group's Paradise. I prefer doing the things you can't do in real life but that is just me. Things like robbery and murder and um nevermind? Edited May 24, 2022 by Darkpig

There is a mod for that. https://extremeviolencemod.com Besides that, it has nothing that you can not do in real life, granted you are a time traveling vampire roboticist who duels with mages for fun in between excursion to cursed ruins. 2

I have pretty generous lifespans, and aging set to off for unplayed households (I play S4), playing rotationally with 400+ sims, so in my save that is 3+ IRL years I am yet to have a single life passing through from birth to death. I tend to do a particular scenario, give myself a sim week to achive it, and then just move on. 9 hours ago, Darkpig said: That is the kind of thing that sounds more up my alley.

Hue hue May have got carried away there. Uh... I might have done that scenario. Only one maid/butler though, and the main sim of the household was a vampire serving in the sim equivalent of the senate. I do plenty of fairly mundane households too, sure, but I also has the mad scientist who have sworn off men and exclusivly have sex with robots while trying to contact aliens so I can get her pregnant with them, and plenty of other weird scenarios. You need a bit of imagination, and sometimes a few mods, but it's very possible to break out of the mundane in the sims. 1
Grey Cloud Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Technology gone mad. "The BBC has apologised after a message appeared on the news channel saying "Manchester United are rubbish". The text mistakenly popped up on the news ticker at the bottom of the screen during a tennis update just after 0930 on Tuesday." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61563153 That's my team. ☹️ Mind you, after the season we have just had most fans would probably consider 'rubbish' generous. Mercifully the season ended last Saturday. 1
FauxFurry Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Judging by Monkeypox's primary transmission method. it looks like isn't enough to wear a simple single prophylactic any longer. It looks like it is time to go full Frank Drebin. 2

landess Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 The concept of porch pirates is somewhat unique and angrily irritating as well. Time to enjoy some payback. 5
Alessia Wellington Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 @Fiend71 That's something I would totally do. 1
