Most worthwhile expansions and stuff packs?
zherok:
I figure once I get a nice new laptop I'll just install the whole lot. If I get a new computer I'm going to just go for broke.
The game's definitely dropped a bit of performance since installing Free Time and Apartment Life. I've only fiddled around with making a community lot for a new community, so all I've seen is whatever items they've added mixed in.
I did see that nice new trash chute. Hurrah for bottomless pits.
Fiddling around with things a bit, I notice I now apparently have talent trees. Unfortunately I can't go tank spec... New interactions from somewhere, those are nice. Reputation I'm not sure about, seems kinda like another social element that only has a minor effect on things. Is magic any fun? I normally avoid the fantasy stuff, but if it's interesting, would be a good place to start I guess.

I do enjoy having a physical copy of stuff. And companies are finally sticking with DVDs as a content medium, so no more of "swap to disc 5" crap. Between Baldur's Gate (first one's five discs, second's four), The Sims 2 (four if I recall, but I have the DVD version), and WoW (think it varies when you got it, but my copy is five, plus expansions...) I've had more than enough of that...
Yeah, that's great, if you have a DVD drive... (I do now, as of this July, but I didn't when I was still buying EPs.)

It's okay... The teleport spell is nice, I suppose. I was playing about the other day, and decided to get a Servo into magic. He has the hat and everything, it's kind of cute. He's infallibly good, but he doesn't get the yellow pox that the Sims get, which I think is awesome. I hate that pox. (I haven't checked if there's an evil witch 'skin' for servos yet.)
'That pox':
zherok:
Ew... Not sure what I think about that...
Cursory look through MTS2 shows this mod. Would that make it bearable? It shows an aura but unless it's a system hog probably not too bad I guess.
As for DVDs, they're like 12 years old as a format now. They can certainly fill them to capacity by now. My brother had a 360 game, 4 dual layer discs. That's about 35gb. And the Vanguard beta (some MMO I never played) was something like 25gb from a screenshot I saw. So we'll be swapping them like CDs soon enough.

I'm currently running a copy of the Sims 2 with University, Nightlife, Open for Business, and Seasons. I'm pretty happy with what these expansions add, but I don't have a lot of knowledge about the later ones (or Pets).
Pets gives your retired elders something to do - they can raise and train puppies and kittens. Also with Pets, children can develop charisma skill by talking to caged birds, it's the only charisma-building activity (that I know of) which is available to them.
BV gives you the Mahjong Table which satisfies both fun and social needs. If you hate TVs as much as I do, you'll have a mahjong table in every household.

Well, there's also the poker table.
