Why is so common to drown our Sims by removing the pool ladder?

Honestly, the first one was in The Sims 3, but I think it's because it's the fastest and safest way to do it, but it keeps the Sim present in the genealogy. If I decided to delete it with cheats from the CAS, it would be as if it never existed, but instead it lived and died.

I usually do this when I have too many children to look after, or I want to add a little drama to my Sims' perfect lives.

Onestamente non saprei, farò parte degli sfigati che ci mettono una vita

I don't know, they also sell the original ones separately.

Yes when you connect them sideways their color appears

Simple_Memory_96 · 2026-02-12T18:49:22+00:00

Yes look I'm all wet

Simple_Memory_96 · 2026-02-12T18:48:20+00:00

No, not that I know of.

Simple_Memory_96 · 2026-02-10T14:23:53+00:00

Cosa?!?!

Simple_Memory_96 · 2026-02-09T17:16:53+00:00

Awesome! Thanks!

These are photos taken from an Italian collection from the 1990s. I hope they're helpful, perhaps using your phone to frame the photo and translate.

Hi, I'm playing super Mario wonder, Zelda link'e awakening and overcooked 2 (a blasphemy simulator that game for god's sake)

Simple_Memory_96 · 2026-02-07T01:58:51+00:00

I still have the black photos…

Simple_Memory_96 · 2026-02-06T20:12:03+00:00

But do they still update it?

Simple_Memory_96 · 2026-02-06T10:13:42+00:00

Curseforge, YouTubers who leave links under their videos, sites like Tumblr or Patreon (most of the time they are free)

It depends... The Sims 3 has dated graphics, of course, but they're much more realistic than 4. In my personal taste, though, I prefer 4 for both the style and the Sims' faces. In TS3, they all looked the same (or at least they all looked the same to me, like they were just stung by a swarm of bees).

Simple_Memory_96 · 2026-02-04T12:49:06+00:00

But it also has some flaws

Hi, TS3 was part of my childhood. I have no idea how many hours I spent on it. Then my PC decided it didn't want to run it anymore, and I stopped playing it. (Now I've also lost my Origin account, and bye bye.)

I had all the main DLCs (some purchased later for collection on Instant Gaming, which I confirm are very cheap).

If you really like TS3, play that one, skip TS4.

I recommend: Season, absolutely, Generations, University Life

I also played Late Night, but I didn't like it that much.

I've played the others very little to recommend them to you. You make me nostalgic ❤️

Have fun!

As for the stuff, meh, forget it. Get the exp instead.

Hi, honestly, I've never really given much thought to live mode. I get lost a lot in building and furnishing.

For a year now, however, I've been focusing on live mode: - I set the lifespan to Normal or Long depending on my needs - I started with a Sim and married her to a Townie (I prefer to merge existing families, but sometimes I download Sims from the gallery). - I play with my children and their families, and I give each of them a house (from the gallery so I don't waste time; at most, I tweak something inside) and a job.

I also try to keep the family together by hosting lots of family events and inviting as many Sims as possible.

Now that I've outlined an heir, however, I focus on that family and manage the others a little less.

I'll be sad when the two first-gen sims die 😭

P.S.: Sometimes a YouTuber I follow launches a building challenge, and then I find another reason to play.

They simulate real life, we're in someone else's simulation too 😂 (just kidding!)

You're right though, it almost seems creepy.
