InSiminator Mod for Sims3

[J. M. Pescado]

Based on the information available, an Insimenator-type mod is looking like it will be extremely unlikely or impossible in TS3, so I wouldn't get too excited.

[MaryH]

Pescado, at the risk of sounding foolish, have you got any specifics as to what the Sims 3 will have as limits that have not been made public in any forum so far?
Or any "secret" information you've been made aware of? Inquiring Simmers want to know!
We're so used to your ability to break things and put them together better that for you to tell us this is a hint that the game is going to be virtually impossible to mod for at all, even at your level of expertise.
Or is this just one of those "difficult is easy-impossible takes a little longer" things?

Seems to me the mountain can't be moved in this instance.

All the inside sources indicate that EAxis has seriously cracked down on the actual moddability of the game. While surface-level texture replacement and remeshing will easily be possible, making actual SERIOUS modifications is looking considerably more crippled. The kind of easy stuff that we have gotten used to in TS2 simply will not be possible in TS3. It are a fact. I know because of my learnings.

So you are saying that we can kiss the adult mods goodbye?

[J. M. Pescado]

Depending on what you define as "Adult mods", quite possibly.

[MaryH]

This is not a good thing-the very fact that a major portion of Sims 2 players are adults, and fully capable of doing some very strange things in their games, does not seem to register with EAxis-and they're going to pay a huge price.
I'd be willing to bet that 2/3's of all players are over 21, and mostly are not playing a "vanilla" game-such as myself, ahem.
They've just screwed the pooch for sure. Game over, EAxis. You've lost. We're done playing your game.

[Feisty32]

ooowee i think EAxis just totally committed finiancal suicide however you spell it.



boy is EAxis gonna pay for this.

[ancienthighway]

Don't believe that for a second.  People will still buy it.  They will bitch about it, but they will buy it.  And then go back to TS2, but EA's got their money already.

[Feisty32]

i believe it cause EAxis really is that stupid and arrogant plus the vast majority of simmers are adults maybe kids will buy it but not some of us adults and alot of us won't buy it cause of that evil suckurom.



in other words keep that evil piece of garbage of a game away from my computer thank you very much.


just speaking my opinion that's all.


i'm a sims 2 fan and player for life and that is how it always will be sims 2 for life i say.

Two parts. 1 The basics, blur remover and default replacement body skins'

                2 More advanced,the hunter type animations.

The animations one can live without but removing the blur and replacing those silly barbie skins is for me essential.

They say money can't buy happiness.  It can, however, buy arrogance and stupidity...
I've never been excited by Sims 3 because of past experience with loving a certain iteration of a game and not liking the next version.  I don't really see any way that I would buy 3 until well after its release and possibly after an expansion or 3.  If they were smart, they would put in parental controls or have an adult themed expansion.  We all know how smart large corporations are, though...

P.S.  I wonder if years down the road I'll still be playing Sims 2 [after Sims 4 has come and gone] like I do with Civilization II

[Feisty32]

i know i'll still be playing it when sims 4 will come out there is no way i'll buy anymore sims games i know when i first read it i was not gonna buy it. it just did'nt excite me at all.



you did make a good point there vampyrmuffinman and nicely said.

Does that mean we'll have to live with all EA's bugs they never bother to fix?

[Hanomaru]

Nah, they'll have a patch out in, oh... six months.

[Roxy2004]

Nah, they'll have a patch out in, oh... six months.

And a few months later a patch to fix what the first patch borked.  And on and on and on.............
