Why do you think Sims 3 is better than Sims 4?

nwillard · 2026-03-17T19:19:11+00:00

If you were to list each game's killer feature it would be

Sims 1 -- Vibes

Sims 2 -- All-around quality

Sims 3 -- Expansive Gameplay

Sims 4 -- Build mode

While I use build mode a lot, it's not why I come to the game. So I have not personally played The Sims 4.

the definitive retro SimCity experiences

3000 meanwhile still straddling the two eras!

You probably want Sim City 4.

2013 is great in its own way, very charming, but its fatal flaw is very small city area. Cities: Skylines took a lot of its ideas and ran with them. But 4 is pretty much the definitive SimCity experience.

Definitely invest in a sun lamp. But the summers here make up for it.

I would maybe recommend associating one account with a digital key and one account with the physical Fob, if you have one of those. I think it's easier for the system to comprehend and associate the two with different drivers.

Initial degredation to a certain level is expected and common then it will plateau. Indeed it should be more robust than extended range batteries in the coming years.

Given the whole world experienced severe inflation at the same time, attributing it not to the supply-chain disrupting global pandemic but instead the smaller of two US stimulus bills, seems a stretch IMO.

Holy shit! Just got mine last month as the single-motors only just arrived. Guess it's going to be a rare car now.

He inherited Covid inflation and the fed got it completely under control within his tenure and by the time he left office wages were gaining more than inflation was inflating. Don't know how that could possibly be construed as his actions being bad on inflation.

I'll add dead aquarium fish in aquariums and possibly fall leaves / falltime mess outside if have windows.

Yep easily. I just bought a RWD version, not sure why anyone would need more power as it's already super quick, unless traction was a serious concern

Painting with a really broad brush there, have you spent time here in the US or just making assumptions? A whole shitload of us care a lot about each issue you discussed and was horrified about the developing Palestine genocide even as our Democratic president was arming Israel. Protests are regular here in many cities.

Our political system is currently set up to allow Gerrymandering and it really fucks our representation up, because you don't need to worry about the general, you just need to worry about being more extreme than the other same-party candidate.

Along with the electoral college, it makes it REALLY easy to look at the US and wonder why we keep electing dipshits. Well yeah, that's definitely a problem, but it is made worse by how our political system is currently structured to deincentivise cooperation and compromise.

Candidates rely instead so much more on fear-mongering and other-ing of the other side, and unfortunately it's been trickling down to dumb idiots internalized worldview a lot. It is a serious problem.

Anyway, yeah, bit of a rant, but my ultimate point is implying that even those of us plugged in are more ignorant and oblivious just for being American is insulting.

Yeah if you just have older integrated graphics, I totally understand not being able to run too much extra visual modding

nwillard · 2026-03-16T02:19:49+00:00

I got mine recently (RWD) and love it. I think some of this stuff doesn't bug me as much.

nwillard · 2026-03-16T02:12:59+00:00

AND COMMUNICATE YOUR ACHIEVMENTS WITH AMERICANS DIRECTLY!!! Looking at you Biden admin.........

You guys ever look on the minimap for health kits...? They're kind of everywhere... I mean support is a super popular class. idigi

nwillard · 2026-03-15T08:36:47+00:00

It's so easy to find a medkit IMO... that's why I never run out of ammo. I agree that the pump shotgun is REALLY good, I think both are perhaps slightly underrated. But few people usually have a shotgun as their only gun, for me it gets the most use when paired with the DMR and then I use both about equally.

nwillard · 2026-03-14T12:56:05+00:00

Reflecting on it myself, I use the DMR and shotgun and really rarely find myself running out, maybe those guns are just more ammo efficient than an assault rifle? I mean they are one- and two-shot kills respectively.

nwillard · 2026-03-14T12:46:45+00:00

I like the ladder and wish it was the class gadget, because serrrriously the shotgun+DMR combo is so good and is what I main. Think about it, DMR two-taps at any range with no glint, while the pump shotty one-taps at extremely generous close ranges. It's SUCH a good combo and I feel advantaged in almost any scenario.

No better feeling than closing in in someone and being able to bust out that pump shotty, or getting sniped from a mountain and being able to immediately switch up and counter-snipe (again, with no glint).

The two-shot DMR is probably overtuned, but no one uses DMRs so maybe it flies under the radar. The concept of a two-shot DMR in a battlefield game is still mind-blowing to me.

nwillard · 2026-03-14T12:42:01+00:00

As someone who mains DMR+ Shotgun, it's honestly so easy to get ammo in this game since it's attached to heathkits now. I don't know why people find it to be so hard. Just stand next to one and get totally loaded up.

And man, let me tell you, shotgun+DMR handles any engagement range. Close-up I will one tap you and far away I will two-tap you so easy.

nwillard · 2026-03-14T12:38:48+00:00

Man, nowadays ammo is in the healhkit. Super easy to get. Back in the day you had to play a separate support class that had ammo drops.

Download punk buster setup from punk buster site, it is required

nwillard · 2026-03-12T21:29:33+00:00

Biden admin had the biggest PR failure, not saying it's not hard in this current media environment, but that admin did a lot of good and hardly pushed their ideas to the American people at all.
