The Sims 2 Vs. The Sims 3
witch:
Partly, although I was also thinking about different makes and how latency can vary and so on. I prefer to buy RAM in a batch, I've had problems before. There are apps to check your RAM if you want to be sure.
MrsCrumplebottom:
I didn't know that about the RAM sticks, thanks Zazazu!
Basically what I have is the 2-GB stick my computer came with, and the one I salvaged from my old one. I've been wanting to get another 2-GB.

The key difference between the fambly-counts in TS2 vs. TS3 is that in TS2, every fambly you add, you MUST play
Isn't that the point? Otherwise, why would I add it, or how would the members of that family be different from townies? (in a meaningful way.)

or they will lose sync...
I'm not a perfectionist regarding syncing of time scales, and don't mind if one teen is 6 days older than another one the same age after several cycles, after all, with so many families it's hard to spot the difference (but I MUST play all my families anyway.)

even if they become really boring.
Boring families can die in a fire. Though, switching to speed 3 thorough the day may make things interesting again, with Sims having to rescue their jobs for missing the carpool or several needs dropping lethally.

In TS3, the number of maximum famblies you can expect to manage is lower
I could live with that, if it wasn't DRAMATICALLY lower, like, Elephant-to-Ant-ratio lower.

Most people don't have the time or inclination to play sixty families at once, but then most people aren't insane.
I said "sixty" only as a starting point, in a different post I mean to add a couple hundreds. And I don't see this being different from adding thousands of characters to a MUGEN roster, so this is just like an Ultimate Showdown Of Ultimate Destiny but with famblies. So, if I can add all the Marvel, DC Comics, Webcomics, Comic Strips, Ánimanga, TV Shows, Cartoons, Films, VideoGames, Celebrities, Sports, Tabletop Games*, Media, Fan Fics, Fictional, Historic and Literature (and whatever I'm missing... **) Characters, what is going to stop me, that the game would just combust? No.
The Sims 2 is the ultimate crossover tool (at least until they make one in where I can add the 648 Pokémon and such in there as pets, a cat that looks like Mewtwo just doesn't cut it...)
* I hadn't thought of it until now, but yeah, I have to plan to make families based on Chess sets, with two enemy families being White and Black, though I think the pawns would need to be born in-game so it doesn't become idiotic.
** Oh, heck, just imagine The Sims 2 Meets The Akinator, I don't think I'll put really obscure chars in the game, so no Alfredo Cristiani or Mettannamuwa in there, I'm not THAT insane, that's why I'm saying a couple hundreds and not a couple thousands.

We really don't need to hear about all the furry/comic book/fan fiction/faffy elf shit you want to put in your game. We already knew you were insane from the "SIXTY FAMBLIES AT ONCE!!!!!1!" post; you don't have to go into all the sad, lame details.
soozelwoozel:
This is insane. You actually want to play 200 odd families at once? WTF. Apart from the fact that this is beyond cray-cray, isn't there a limit to the number of characters TS2 can handle, befoe the game asplodes?
I like the fact I can send my spares and various extraneous family members off into the big wide world in TS3 and let them get on with it. I do have a hood where I flip around the families, but I still let Twallan's SP do its thang. Sure, sometimes Sims deviate from my vague plans for them, but meh. I tend to take the view that the game is just following the messiness of life.
