The Sims 3 Is a Perfectly Balanced game with NO EXPLOITS - Excluding Mind Control Only Challenge

Ойындар

The Sims 3 is a classical family management simulator game allowing you to manage almost all aspects of life. Naturally, the DLCs decided to get wacky and add in some fun nonhuman types to play as like vampires and genies. Genies, however, are broken. As you can guess having a mind controlling genie that can fly and is immortal might be a bad addition for game balance. So today we ask the question is the sims 3 a perfectly balanced game with no exploits excluding the mind control only challenge.
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

    yeah i have both sims 3 and 4 and after about a few months with the sims 4, i just HAD to go back to 3, its so much better. It has so much more personality, with lore and an abundance of traits with so much stuff coming with a single pack. This is just personal preference of course, but I really do prefer the more "realistic" art style of 3. The only issue would be the amount of lag - although that's never been an issue for me and I've only ever played on non-gaming laptops. Would highly recommend!

    The sims isn't so much resource intensive, as it is extremely poorly coded. You should turn on vsync in your GPU settings, as the game for some reason decides to use any and all resources available to maximizing the framerate, even if you have a modern day god computer, it will simply make the computer render the game at 12000 frames per second and will cause your computer to overheat. The game also refuses to do regular save game optimizations and world cleanup, so your saves will become increasingly bloated with irrelevant information, and corrupt themselves, so you will need community patches.

    Its not the Sims series as a whole, its literally just TS3. Sims 2 definitely has problems with save corruption but if you know what NOT to do its very easy to avoid. TS3 will break itself or your computer, whichever comes first, no matter what you do when playing it unless you get third party fixes. And as painfully boring and shallow as TS4 is, it definitely improved on the technical issues the series had problems with previously, though its certainly not without its own smaller technical issues like simulation lag and visual glitching

    writer. Once you master writing you get around 50k initial payout for your book. With all the right perks you can knock out most books in a day. All books come with royalties for a time. Usually pays 1/5th the initial payout every week for 5-10 weeks. Now do 7 books like this. You get initial payout of 350k + 70k a week. Every now and again you get a best seller which is like 3x the value and has longer payouts. If you pick the right perks your sim will also enjoy writing, do it faster, make more money from it, and last longer while doing it.

    Huh, this reminds me of an exploit that I discovered myself when I was playing the game. I would build a communi-tea lot with a basement full of VR-Headsets. For whatever reason, if you had your sim put on the headset and take it off, it would now be considered your property and you could pick it up off the ground to put in your inventory and sell. Each one would sell for several thousand, so that was practically considered one of my sim's jobs to "test out" VR-Headsets. Nice thing about this exploit is that any sim can do it. No magical powers required. I doubt that this was ever patched as balance was never something that the devs really seemed to care for. Which really should be pretty obvious when they actually recommend that you use cheat codes to enjoy the game. Also, in regards to the whole game performance thing, I do find it comical that the launcher actually suggests that you don't play the game with all of the expansion packs enabled. Rather they recommend that you only play a few expansion packs at a time....likely to improve performance.

    I have idea: Use martial artists as money maker. You only need Supernatural and World Adventures This is how: - You need two person. One to pick up the gem and sold it, one for martial artists. For faster and better results, martial artists need to have disciplined trait. For picker it doesn't matter. - Go to China and buy board breaker - Build martial arts skills for martial artists to the point that is sufficient enough for breaking space rock board and don't forget to break oak board or higher (in order to get an achievement in which you get gems for breaking space rock board) around 150 times. - Prepare your gem cutter (from Supernatural) and a sim to cut gems everytime martial artists break space rock block. - Get every gem and cut it. If you want better result, get 10 different gems before you cut them and then you'll get heart-shaped cut, the most valuable cut you can get in gem cutter aside from spire cut with easiest way possible. I use this method for quite a time and it is effective for someone who don't like their sims having a job.

    having an evil genie being extremely powerful is at least pretty much what it says on the tin. I find other exploits in Sims 3 a lot worse. Like picking flowers you can immediately sell for a three figure sum - each. On a place where the stuff regrows almost instantly. Why does any sim work anything else, who pays such prices. Why has that economy not crashed. Or functional store content that often is basically a cheat item.
