I’ve seen too many “tumblr” opinions today and I only scrolled for like 5 min.

I'm a sims 3 girlie and I'm gonna make a long post abt my experience as a NEW sims 2 player. I know nobody cares about this but this is my blog I can do whatever I want!!! And I wanna write appreciation for sims 2.

Ok so first of all, playing ts2 from ts3 is HARD. I underestimated sims 2. Before playing it, I already have prejudice that it will have less content than sims 3 & that the experience of playing sims 2 will be boring bc there is less lifetime goals, no traits, and less gameplay. And I was right. The first time I played sims 2, I found myself getting bored playing with Strangetown. My first gameplay was playing 1 rotation with all of sims 2 strangetown households & I thought to myself "damn i really have to force myself playing with so many households so everybody age up." I closed my game & think so myself "yep. I'm never gonna play sims 2 again." Don't get me wrong, the story of Strangetown is AWESOME. But the lack of gameplay makes me feel like i'm stuck with doing the same mundane tasks again and again for a week with every household (ex: making sure my sims got promoted, taking care of needs, socializing). I admit that going on dates are more fun in sims 2 but it isn't enough to hook me.

Tbh I can't play sims 4 bc it feels like dollhouse simulator. And sims 2 feels a little bit like dollhouse simulator too at first. The reason why I love the sims 3 so much is because of the sims 3 skill challenges. I love that if you play the guitar in 10 parties you will get a bigger tip every time you perform for tips in public. Or if you do an interaction for a certain amount you will get special perks. This is the same reason why I love playing stardew valley and feel so much joy when my character fall asleep & level up their farming/foraging/fishing & unlock new craftables/abilities/gameplay.

But then I tried giving sims 2 a second chance, and this time I play with open for business & this EP CHANGED MY LIFE. OFB is the best sims EP ever. The gameplay is SMOOTH & I've never felt so much joy from playing ANY sims games. It's so awesome bc we can make any business we want! And I eventually fall in love with sims 2 rotational gameplay when I do a BACC challenge & made my own hood with 4 founding families where each family have a role & businesses. Farmers in my hood own a grocery store & my restaurant owner buy his ingredients from them. I also make my 'mechanic' sim service sims, meaning that when I'm playing with another family & their plumbing broke, my mechanic sim (who also run a business where he restore junk cars) will come & fix their plumbing for them. Everyone's life is intertwined and they all need each other. My mayor sim also collect money from the households, and once the mayor have enough money to build a new park, the townies will have more places to visit. So I'm always motivated to make each rotation counts & tried to make as much money as possible.

After playing TS2, i'm not sure how I can go back to playing sims 3. Climbing the corporate ladder with sims 3 job now feels meaningless and sims 3 outings SUCKS. But I am still frustrated with the lack of gameplay sims 2 have compared to sims 3. I just want sims 2 to have all of sims 3 gameplay & it'll be my ultimate dream game😭 (yes now i prefer sims 2 graphics + rotational/aging system + loading screens + the freedom to decorate the hood + etc.) I just need sims 2 to have more skills, opportunities, skill challenges, interactions, and traits & I won't even look at any sims games that are being developed like paralives/inzoi😭 I really do think sims 2 found the formula for the perfect life simulator, but it's flawed. Anyways if you're a sims 3 girlie who only ever played sims 3, do give sims 2 a chance :D You won't regret it!

this is the closest I can get to make a zoi that looks like me xD I suck at creating look-a-like...(honestly it looks nothing like me...xD)

also my computer's fan been running crazy while playing inzoi, but that's 'cause I was trying with everything max and with its graphic I think it makes sense..._(:з)∠)_

can't wait for this game ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

gg sims...

[hopelessly-aziraphale]

Is there any reasons why sims fans keep trying to bring down inzoi other than curseforge. Cause like that sucks and all, but isn't the sims also partnered with curseforge??? The same racist company that they're criticising inzoi for working with?? Am I missing something??

[sims4bradshaw]

this kinda sucks or whatever cus "fuck ai" but also like im so sick of these companies calling everything AI just becus its trendy. im not a tech expert or anything like that but i have been pretty into ai and been very into generative ai for years (i don't like it anymore like my optimism has definitely faded or whatever but i was very actively following it) but also like the ability to search for images similar to another image has existed for years.. and yes you could say that requires a sort of "artificial intelligence" but no one was calling it that until like 2 years ago bcus it was understood that AI means something .. more lol like idk how to explain but its annoying. like people are in the replies tb oh this is the same as inzoi and im sorryyyy but it's just not lol . idk based on these pictures at least!! who knows

the thing is, inzoi is using generative ai (different from the standard type ai which is used in a lot of other games) and it's is incredibly harmful to the environment due to the amount of energy it consumes. plus it's stealing from artists, so 🤷‍♂️

Dude, its an option. You don't have to use it. The game doesn't force you to use the ai. You have to click to use the it. There are more than enough patterns, a color wheel and options to import your own photos/patterns. There no real need for artist if you can upload your own images and adjust them on the object. Also generative ai includes text, I don't know if you've been in school but it very common for students to use writing prompts to make their wording better or build upon. My professional development class suggest to us ai to write our resume descriptors. Generative ai is is used so much in people daily life that a single video game isn't going to add to much to problem. Plus the reason why ai is harmful to environment is because the world refuses to find another resources for power consumption outside of natural gases and coal. It sucks yes but if we used nuclear power as a collective the climate wouldn't be as effected. Nuclear power has come along way in the decades since its first introduction. actually watch the gameplay showcases and make an opinion yourself.
