I loved original The Sims and lost a lot of time to it. However, I was frustrated that I couldn’t match the time like in real life.

Did anyone manage to get people to work before 10am!? The Sims took ages to get ready! 😂

I just started playing the original game two weeks ago or so and time management is pretty much my main complaint right now. It feels a little too close to (or even more punishing than) real life, where there’s barely any time to keep up with my character’s needs after coming back from work.
It can be done though - I’m slowly getting used to how things work again and my sim has been leaving in a slightly better mood then before. Just need to get into a proper Sims mindset, I guess.

otp,

there’s barely any time to keep up with my character’s needs after coming back from work.

Damn, I guess I’m a Sim

Psythik,

That’s the one thing that frustrates me the most about these games, too. Minutes fly by like seconds, but the Sims move in realtime! There’s never enough time to actually do anything in the game! So I keep my Sims unemployed and just cheat.

Been playing The Sims since 2001; in all those years I have never seen anyone release a timescale mod for any of the games. So when do play, most of my time is spent in Build/Buy mode.

They move in realtime, but they finish a meal in 10 seconds. Bathroom breaks and baths also take ~10 seconds. Not to mention that clothes changing is a single spinning jump. Wish it was that easy in real life

Was there an alarm clock in the first game? There was in TS2, and it’s a bit of a lifesaver (except when they went to sleep dead late and then refused to go to work)

They’re not gone though? My wife plays Sims 2 all the time.

SomethingBurger,

They’re no longer available for sale.

aeronmelon,

The Sims 2 has always been on the Mac App Store under Aspyr.

It still gets random updates to account for system-level changes.

    FYI, we’re considering removing some/most/all Musk 💩, or perhaps creating a Musk containment community.

    Dagamant,

    Do it, I’m tired of this clown getting attention

    fushuan,

    There’s a musk only commnity that the technology communities created for this very reason. Maybe you could try to redirect posts there.

    And so they banned his accounts, right? Right??

    DebatableRaccoon,

    From what I heard, PoE did. Not sure about Diablo.

    Dagnet,

    There is pretty much nothing current Blizzard wont do for money, Elon just need some ‘sorry I cheated’ money and he is good as gold

    Aradina,
    @Aradina@lemmy.ml avatar

    Banning him will be the way to get money, since he can just make a new account and buy the game again

    fushuan,

    As far as I know his account has not been banned. He admitted cheating yesterday and there’s no news on any ban. He was mentally banned in December but they reinstated his account. That’s before all the current drama so idk.

    I wish there were news of his ban though.

    *American?

    Tilgare,

    Mostly I suppose - but in the example/hypothetical given in the article of Sony moving it’s manufacturing from China to India, it would take 6-24 months minimum to find/develop the space they need and move the equipment. This cost to move all of the equipment half way across the world and the opportunity cost of out of stocks at stores worldwide when your distribution chain finally drys up - the cost was sited at 10%. If they MOVE a facility, I think that cost gets passed on to everybody worldwide.

    There may be situations where JUST American production is moved to another country with more favorable tarrifs and worldwide production continues out of the existing facility, and probably in a situation like that, only the American costs would increase to cover the facility/equipmemt costs. But for that to make fiscal sense, this would have to be somehow CHEAPER than the price already elevated by the tarrifs. Companies could even in this case, theoretically hike prices worldwide to subsidize the impact to everybody. More people paying a higher prices mean everybody pays less.

    Now, I couldn’t say if there’s any precident for the last line there. Purely hypothetical. But regardless - it’s entirely possible it WON’T be JUST Americans paying higher prices.

    What’s a better way to build up local manufacturing? The oligarchy says this is a good idea for solar panel & EV imports. What’s the difference?

    Not my president 😡

    Tap for spoiler(I live in Germany)

    Etterra,

    Well to be fair you already went through this shit once. Speaking of which, you’re gonna send troops over here to help us out this time, right?

    Strider,

    Schwein gehabt!

    Renacles, do games w How Trump's Tariffs Could Cost Gamers Billions

    You guys have much bigger problems to worry about right now tbh

    Tyfud,

    Yeah, if the fascist overthrow of democracy only had tariffs to worry about, we’d be doing well.

    For how much people are worrying about tariffs I’ve lived my entire life with a 66% alcohol tax, 75% electronics tax, 240-380% vehicles tax and recently even saw 150% inflation.

    Let’s play a game!

    Where do I live?

    troybot,

    Ooh I’ll play. Australia?

    OmegaLemmy,
    @OmegaLemmy@discuss.online avatar

    Wow Australia has it like that? Nope. A lot less isolated

    atro_city,

    Hmmm, wanted to say Brasil, but maybe Sweden?

    @driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br avatar

    Brazil inflation had been really good in the past year or two, so I would not say is it.

    OmegaLemmy,
    @OmegaLemmy@discuss.online avatar

    Close, a country just south of it has a LOT of my people, they even call their capital an extended territory of theirs…

    egonallanon,

    Argentina?

    driving_crooner,
    @driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br avatar

    Recently 150% inflation, not Argentina, based on the “Recently”

    How is Lemmy doing in the Turkish community? Is there a Turkish lemmy instance?

    I might be one of the thousand people that actively use Lemmy in turkey. Reach out to me otherwise incorrect

    Piracy 😍

    chillhelm,

    Unfortunately, the only hardware component you can actually download is RAM. And increased hardware prices are going to be the primary cost factor.

    Agent_Karyo,
    @Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

    The funny thing is, I believe RAM is actually one component that isn’t manufactured as much in China (compared to other components).

    LodeMike, (edited )

    Oh sorry I didn’t read the article. Hardware makes more sense.

    GhiLA,

    Then it isn’t so much playing games, it’s the death of the entire industry. If no one can play anything, there’s nothing to sell.

    Neato!

    Guess I’ll have to keep my steam deck in good working order and enjoy gaming in a tribute sense.

    DoucheBagMcSwag,

    …make your own. Destroy it and remake it with a new IP once every few months, use headscale or something to make managing it easier.

    I am this petty, absolutely.

    (Or just get everything now, I mean. You got a month. Sorry if you didn’t buy a few hard drives when Trump got elected. Some of us saw the writing on the wall.)

    DoucheBagMcSwag,

    Oh believe me I have. 2 HDDs and 1 SSD. I’ve also been snatching up DVDs of shows from second hand places since streaming services will become untenable soon
