Definitely agreeing on how great the music was. And the CONTROL they gave us to put any of our own music literally *anywhere* in the game. We could add or remove existing music from any areas, all radio stations, build and buy mode music, various menu music, even the intro loading screen music was changeable.

Now all we get is one stinkin’ radio station (which for some doesn’t even play on some types of speakers)… even the wonderful modding community hasn’t figured out how to improve/fix this. I really hope they let our game be *our OWN* again in TS4. We’ll see.

I fully agree with you Jess. I wish it would take less time to do things, by the time I take care of my sims needs, ship them off to work, and reboost their needs the day is almost over. I find the Sims time rather wonkey. It should not take over five sim minutes to pee. I know I am a man and have advantage over a woman when urinating but my goodness! Poor sims.

I think I miss the music the most. That generic elevator jazz sound was certainly unique and enjoyable to listen to through load screens and sim AI silliness.

True, but by that same token, should it take a sim 2-3 hours in-game to get up, urinate, shower, dress, eat and go to work? I don’t know, perhaps you are correct.

Love the music. It was funny when Sims used to get really jealous when you danced with someone in front of them. I remember when I first saw the Burglar. It took forever to get my Sim to stop fussing and go call the police. By the time he did, He had nothing left lol I was so upset, but it’s funny now. It was hard to get money and friends too. Great times.

I think you can still buy them as a one pack that has the base game, and all expansion packs.

Man, that music was the best ever ! This is what the Sims 3 is missing and more.Hopefully the Sims 4 will steal some of this magic.

Wouldn’t that be too close to real time? There should be wiggle room for the sims, think about it.I don’t want it to be in real time, but if it went a bit slower, I’m all for it, as long as it doesn’t take forever just for a sim day to pass..

I started out with Nintendo console versions of Sims, then read about how great the PC versions were.
Well that was an understatement!
I haven’t payed the console version in ages, LOL.
I do have all Sims 2 and Sims 3 (except University Life).
But I started a bit late to the Sims game, so I only had Deluxe edition of Sims 1. Which means I wonder what all I missed by not being able to get all the Sims 1 pks, or even how many there was.
Plus, even if I tracked them down, were there patches for S1 like with Sims 2? I can’t even remember… 🙁
I DO remember the crazy way I came across making money by accident, so my Sims didn’t need to work anymore. I bought a wall sculpture thing that looked like plaster painting and hung it on wall. I forgot what its called. Then I was getting low on money and had to sell it.
It’s value grew so much I put them all outside of house and kept selling them to make money. I had never found a money cheat for the game until Sims 2.
I refuse to sell any of my Sims games, just in case I’m feeling nastalgic.
And if greedy Microsoft ever makes an OS that can’t play Sims, I’m going to have to keep a backup computer or stop buying new OS!
(am in no rush for W8 anyway. Its a cash cow to sell you apps anyway, and I have enough of that annoyance with my cellphone & tablet)

Thanks for sharing the video, I would have never found it otherwise. Can use it to put family to sleep so I can play Sims longer, LOL!!!

Not sure if I will get S4, but if I do, I am crossing all fingers & toes for music to be able to change in buy & build mode because I spend a LOT of time making homes & can’t take it in S3 anymore! AGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
