the premade sims

I do have to agree that some of the premmade sims are ugly. Lol, and that may be the reason why I majority of the time steer clear of them. Another reason is I would just rather create and play with my own sims lol then ones that are already premmade. But I do agree that you can just make a few adjustments to those sims and they will look perfectly fine. I just still haven't played with any of them though, but maybe one day I will decide to pick one and play with one of them and just make a few adjustments on how they look. But I definitely agree some of these sims just look like they have been beaten with an ugly stick a real ugly stick. I miss using custom content though, I haven't used it in awhile because I want to buy another computer, the game runs kind of slow on the computer I have now, so I know when I get another computer I am going to load it up with all the custom content. I miss it so much.

Yes, the mods are a great improvement. I can say I have some kind of strange affection for the premade sims on the base game for several reasons. I’ve played the base game so much without adding any mods is one reason. It allowed me to get to know all the people in town. This constant interaction with those sims, I think although at times felt boring but so does life sometimes feel boring; allowed me to understand that depending on how I interacted with them, the towns folk would change accordingly. In one game if I was evil it had an effect or in another game differently if I became a good doctor. Another reason I can associate with the standardised premade sims in the base game is because of Sims 1. While playing that game I ran across a picture of the real people, the actual creators of the game which at that time was not associated to EA games. In the picture, the group looked interesting like they were having a great time. Since someone actually created the first sim families (The goth’s, landgrabs etc) they have some special significance that way, I think.
