Extras: The Tinker Family

Stephen and Wanda Tinker got a much-needed makeover, and so did their house.

Well, not that they have a boy maybe they'll slow down on the breeding.

I love the cute face the baby makes as they're held up right after being born (it's a lot like the cuddling of kittens animation--very cute).

I've never played the Tinkers so this is fun to see.

Ha. Wanda wants to marry off six kids so if it was all up to her, she probably won't want to stop just yet. Stephen's got what he wants, though (4 kids on ACR2 settings, LTW to get three kids through college). Wanda's getting a bit older, though, so her ACR try for baby chances aren't very good. The twins were conceived with the good old non-ACR method. :P Maybe they'll adopt.

Hee, that baby face is cute. It's a bit like the "anime"-style ^_^ face.

The Tinkers are pretty fun, you should try playing them sometime. :) (I recommend my fixed up Bluewater Village, the original is a bit of a mess.)

I think I asked you this before, so feel free to tell me to shut up about it but. . .

Is ACR2 a vast improvement over original ACR? I'm mostly interested in jealousy arrangements and "fun" stuff (like sims deciding to breed on their own).

I'm trying to decide if it's really worth swapping one for the other (if it's a hassle to remove/replace, I'm not interested at all).

[meetme2theriver]

I think it's definitely an improvement. All the precious options are there, just better, and there's many new options too and more autonomous interactions than the previous version. I quite like the setting for 'ideal number of kids', which go towards either raising or lowering the chances of a sim trying for baby, based on how many kids they already (don't) have. The autonomous first kiss is also fun, if vaguely annoying at times, and the 'friend zone' is useful if you really want two sims to keep their hands off each other

Wanda is a difficult sim to keep happy in my game - lazy, playful and constantly pregnant can be an annoying combination :P

I like the kids though, tinkering Harmony is a cutie ^^;

[meetme2theriver]

She was constantly tired through the two pregnancies in my game, too. She got very little toy-building done. :( The aspiration perks help a little bit, though.

I look forward to seeing the twins when they age. :)

Oh my, I <3 the toy store.

[meetme2theriver]

Thanks. :) I would've liked to do more with it, but they were out of money!

The Sims 3

I might be the thousandth to ask but do you own the Sims 3

Re: The Sims 3

[meetme2theriver]

Um, no, you're actually the first to ask. I played TS3 briefly, got bored with it, and eventually uninstalled it. Why?

[selenecorvino]

Sorry, RL has kept me away from my computer.... Harmony is really cute looking, I'm curious to see how the twins turn out. Do you use any default face templates?

[meetme2theriver]

Thanks! The twins are pretty interesting. Very Tinker-like, that's for sure. I do use default face templates by Ambular, though I don't always have them in the game. Those won't affect the Tinkers, though.
