Question of the Day, August 8, 2010



EA is spicing up The Sims by making it go medieval. Which period of history do you think The Sims should visit next? What would be some history-related things you could do in the game?

Roman time would be pretty sweet.

*Sharpen sword*
*Goes to work*
*PROMOTION - Invasion commander!*

If the success of RDR is anything to go by, people don't mind a little western flavour.

 

[Furious Styles]

Roman or Renaissance definitely

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

The Wild West would be my personal favourite, but I think the Roman Empire would be funny to see.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

I would sure like to see it in Roman times. The Romans were quite technologically advanced with their buildings so the house creations could be quite interesting. That would be something I would like to see.

 

[TundraWolf]

Either Roman times or the Renaissance. The Wild West really isn't a viable option, I don't think, as they had next to no luxury. You want to decorate your shack? Choose between a bear rug or a stuffed elk head for the wall.

Honestly, though, I want to see a futuristic Sims game. I hate The Sims, but I think I'd play one where you get to create futuristic moon bases and what-not.

The Sims: Star Wars

Please O.O

I think it would be really interesting to play 'The Sims : Evolution'. Kinda what Spore was INTENDED (and failed miserably) to be. Start as cavemen, develop into homo sapiens sapiens, and then degenerate into the homo soap operatus we see today.

Its a tie between the Wild West and the Roman Empire for me.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Romans!

I love those guys!

 

[Queen Michael]

Anything from the history of Japan.

 

[ZakCanard]

Prehistoric Sims, perhaps sitting somewhere between One Million Years BC and The Flintstones.

 

[unacomn]

Totally agree, prehistoric Sims would be fantastic.

 

[Harlemura]

Wild West, I'd go with.
I haven't played it much, but The Sims has always bored me. A duel at sundown is just what we need to spice it up.

If someone could make a mod that merged The Sims and Rome - Total War it would be sweeeeet. You could actively encourage your family members to produce new generals in between slicing pieces off Egypt!
