Game time--Is the game harder or is it just me?
« on: October 31, 2010, 06:18:45 AM »
I like Late Night.  The only thing bothering me are the bugs.  As a Myers-Briggs introvert I don't normally play the social scene, do parties etc.  Now in this EP I find myself doing just that.  The problem I have is lack of game time.  My Sim wants to be a movie star.  But between holding down a job, and the fact that it takes forever for a Sim to do anything (while the game clock is running)and the fact that Sim needs seem to take forever to build up and an instant to decay, It seems that I spend most of my time taking care of business than hitting the Night scene.

Just set aging off for a Simweek, it works for me... Unless you're in a legacy or challenge or anything like that.

I think the game is gradually getting harder, too.  For example, where maxing the social need for babies only took a diaper change and a snuggle, now it takes 4 to 5 social interactions.  Raising kids will be harder now, for sure.  Just today I was thinking that Electronic Arts is slowly making the game more difficult so that we don't get bored or something.

I'm going to blame elevators. ;)  I think elevators are what's sucking all the time away!

I liked it better when we could just park a baby in a crib for a week and ignore them until they became toddlers. ;)

Agreed! That's why I use testingcheatsenabled and just teleport them because I'm tired of wasting 2 hours just to get to the bottom (or upper) floors :P

I think it would be great if they adjusting the passing of time in the game.  Currently, it seems like 1 second real time  = 1 minute of game time.   I think it would be more realistic if 1 second of real time = about half a minute of game time.  Then actions like riding the elevator wouldn't eat up so much of your day.  But, they should leave the "fast forward" time settings the way they are now...

Glic, 1 second in real life IS equals 1 minute in game (at speed 1). Lol.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks things are harder. Babies are needier, unless you have compatible signs it seems to be harder to make friends.

The travel time issues using the elevator could be fixed using the LTR teleporter, which has been pretty useless until now.
