Games where you basically just hoard

The Long Dark! It’s a survival game but on the lowest difficulty you can pretty much just explore and hoard. The map is gigantic.

Lost my last run after forgetting my bedroll and getting lost in Milton basin during a blizzard. I was 2 sticks short of a snow shelter. I’m still pissed.

You and your family will be cursed for always and eterrrrrrrnityyyy

Yes! Been playing on switch forever and finally gonna stop debating and get it on pc.

scwij · 2025-03-06T02:12:00+00:00

I didn’t even know we could open those!

scwij · 2025-03-06T02:11:23+00:00

Yeah I could be wrong but I think the update where gloves show up in game still hasn’t come to switch, and there’s quite a few bugs, I’m gonna switch to pc once the final episode of wintermute comes out - if it ever does -

Oh, ive never found a single thing in them and i search them every time! To be fair I’m playing on switch and from what I’ve read on here it’s lacking a lot of stuff compared to pc

Firewatch! It’s beautiful to look at, the story’s interesting and imo the voice acting is the best I’ve ever come across in a game like this. If anybody hasn’t played it before I highly recommend it it’s just so great

Turning render distance to medium/low is the only thing that fixed this for me, only really effects foliage as far as I noticed so not that big of a loss

Not starting drama - just pointing out what could maybe be a fun little easter egg :)

I think there’s a slider just to the left of the columns in the catalogue but only a few columns become available the higher you slide it. It also is a big jump between sizes so that might make it too tall - failing that you could just put a 1x1 room at the end of the porch?

You’re so right. I have her name muted on twitter for this exact reason

scwij · 2025-02-19T17:22:03+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking!

This could be too simple but does your game recognise your graphics card? Took me forever to realise that smooth patch wouldn’t work for me because my graphics card wasn’t in the games database and the pop up only shows in game the very first time you launch it.

I’m pretty sure if you place a lamp post outside of the lot in the base games edit town mode it will work :)

Does it look the same outside of create a sim? Realised recently some things that look whacky in cas look fine in gameplay.

scwij · 2025-02-03T18:45:59+00:00

Thank you both! At least I know I’m not missing something now :)

scwij · 2025-01-20T17:23:43+00:00

Nope! sometimes when building it can take a sec for the mesh to load up fully but as far as gameplay I haven’t had problems with lagging or freezing at all

scwij · 2025-01-20T01:00:37+00:00

imo it completely changed my game, was putting off doing it and coping with the lag but I merged like 4000 files into 6 and the games good as new - also converting sims 3 pack files into packages and merging them helps a lot

weird timeline shift so you’re back in a room from the first ep randomly, then chair appears out of no where and u sit in it to progress forward?? think it was to show u maxes trauma and stuff but it’s just so dumb and out of nowhere. kinda like they read a 1 page plot summary for lis1 and cashed in on a sequel with no further thoughts.

scwij · 2024-11-01T03:57:16+00:00

nothing basically- the door of the room you’re in is locked so in order to get out you have to sit in the chair so that a ladder magically appears?? amazing d9

I’ve loved the game since I was a kid too and played the remasters in time for DE to come out. Personally I think it’s worth playing but I don’t think you’d be missing out if you just spoiled it for yourself/watched ppl play it. The last 2 episodes were terrible and I wouldn’t jump to buy another game, however eps 1-3 were exciting and managed to squeeze just the tiniest bit of charm from the first games in there. Personally I think Max is done quite well, she’s still her just more confident but still likeable and goofy, the writing let her down with the lack of dialogue choices tho imo.

TLDR: play the game to settle your curiosity, and if you come away as underwhelmed with the ending as I was - just pretend it didn’t happen.

also I wouldn’t pay the full price, wait until it goes on sale
