Zero Punctuation Reviews The Sims 3

Amy Tucker — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 20:12:48 +0000

I tried to embed this video but no embed love for me SO you’ll just have to follow this link to Yahtzee’s review of The Sims 3.

Even if you don’t agree with what he has to say, you have to admit that Yahtzee is pretty darn funny and he does make a couple of really good points.

Happy 4th!

Post-Nuclear TV

Amy Tucker — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:20:19 +0000

If you have dreams of making a Sims 2 post apocalyptic movie then you can’t have the TV playing sports or a cooking show like nothing happened.

That’s when this download by psychosimO comes in handy.

Now, instead of what would normally be on television, you’ll get a series of cool “static” screens. There’s even one that tells your Sims to head to the fallout shelter.

While I’m not a machinima maker, I know that this download could come in real handy for some of you. Make sure that you follow the installation instructions since this doesn’t go in the downloads file.

Enjoy.

IGN Review of Sims 3

Amy Tucker — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:36:04 +0000

Had you guys seen this video before and I’m the only one who missed it?!

I was looking around YouTube last night and found this IGN video review of Sims 3 and decided to share it with you guys. Though nothing ground breaking or profound is said, it’s nice to hear another person talk so nicely about a game that has wormed its way into my cold, cold heart.

Good review that looks at all parts of the game including the online features.

Cheating Made Easy

Amy Tucker — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:13:17 +0000

I am a cheater. I admit it. When I play Sims 2, I use the money cheat each and every time. [ctrl shift c and then motherlode]

I haven’t messed around with Sims 3 cheats yet with the exception of the money cheat but I must say that pressing ctrl shft c each and every time I need more cash gets old.

Have no fear lazy gamers, because I have found a solution for those of us who just can’t drudge up the energy to press three keys simultaneously. Go get the “Auto Cheater” program from Random667.

Install it and now you have the ability to hotkey cheats that you’ve selected. How freakin’ cool is that?!

Amy Tucker — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:17:49 +0000

The contestants have been chosen and like I said just a few minutes ago, now’s the time to vote for your favorite. If you don’t want to have to go to The Sims YouTube page to watch them, then you can watch them here. But, make sure that once you have your choice in mind that you vote on the YouTube page since your vote won’t officially count if you just leave a comment here.

Contestant #1

Contestant #2

Contestant #3

Contestant #4

[#4 is my favorite]

Michael Jackson Lives on in Sims 3

Amy Tucker — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:49:40 +0000

Though the King of Pop may be dead, thanks to Princess Leia, Mr. Jackson can live on forever in your Sims 3 game.

You knew it would only be a matter of time before someone would attempt to create Michael Jackson and this one is pretty darn good.

I would go with Princess Leia’s suggestions for playing this Sim:

For maximum hilarity, play him with these traits: Virtuoso, Family-Oriented, Childish, Insane and Party Animal. I had to include Party Animal in there to get the Rock Star lifetime wish.

Click here to download Michael Jackson for you own game.

Sims with Benefits Video

Amy Tucker — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:51:14 +0000

This is part one and then part two of a story that Swoozie06 created about Sims Online.

It cracks me up a guy would do this and then the story that develops is Simtastic.

Sims 3 Plant Tricks and Tips

Amy Tucker — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 01:38:17 +0000

If you loved planting and fawning over your plants in Sims 2, then you’re going to LOVE Sims 3.

I have been playing around with simple, simple gardens and while I’m proud of myself, they are definitely nothing to write home [or to you] about. Imagine my joy when I was over at Snooty Sims today and saw a link to a fantastic HUGE list of all things planty by Asilee. There’s also a big section on fertilizers and challenges.

Quite honestly, I had no idea that there was THAT MUCH. I mean, I knew there was a lot but this is just insanity.

If you’re the least bit interested in growing anything with any bit of success then I strongly suggest that you check out Asilee’s site. Good stuff.
