I have a problem with The Sims 3. A big problem. First, I can't stop thinking about it. Second, I can't stop playing it, and third, this game has crashed almost every time I played. Except for last night. I have a very decent computer and I know the problem is the game. I don't have mods and custom content downloaded, because I only own the game a week. I'll try to download a patch to see if it fixes, but with this soddy connection... Besides, nearly everyone complains about all all these crashes, so I'll not get my hopes up.
You know, the first thing I saw when I came to LJ looking for The Sims 3 stuff was the amount of Legacy posts. It annoyed me so much I almost gave up on sharing The Sims experiences online.
And now look at me, doing my very own Legacy *headdesk*.
The thing is that I found the rules for this legacy thing and got intrigued. It's a real challenge, so I'll see if I can play it like that. I'll try to post my progress and everyone is welcomed to skip it, because I'm sure most (if not all) of my flist doesn't have any idea what The Sims are.
For those that don't know, The Sims is a life simulation game. You create a person, define the looks, the size of eyes, nose, the cheeks, the type of the hair... you can take hours making your sim. Then you need to put clothes, define a personality, choose 5 personality traits from the huge number of traits there are, then favorites... This makes each sim unique. Then you move in to a house or an empty lot in which you'll have to build your house. Now, making a house is a whole other game on its own. For those who like architecture its absolutely awesome (usually, when our own architeture skill isn't the problem, our sim's money will be). Then, you have to play it. You choose a job, a career path, make life altering decisions, marry (or not), reproduce, die, start over... its endless. The game is huge. It takes two DVDs to install it, and you need a supercomputer to play it. I guess I can't really complain about the presence of bugs, it's understandable.
Legacy games have rules. I'll try to play by them, but it'll be hard. For starters, I need to move in to this huge empty lot which will leave no money for a house. I'll see how long I'll survive like this...
So, here goes the Franci Legacy. Beware, this post contains a fair number of images.
( The Franci Legacy 1-0 )
