The Sims 3: Generations !!INSTALL!!
Generations as a pack would essentially add depth and detail to each life stage of The Sims. This can be in the form of new clubs, social interactions, skills, or age-dependant items. For example, The Sims 3: Generations pack introduced canes for elders. A previous Sims 4 official teaser for the pastel pop kit also showed an image of false teeth, indicating that we may be able to expect more gameplay for elders, a feature that many sims fans have asked for.
The Sims 3: Generations
Extended interactions and gameplay for children and teens would perfectly complement The Sims 4: High School Years expansion, with that we already have the ability for teens to sneak out of the house. Being able to throw teen parties as well is a classic coming-of-age feature that sims players could explore before sending their teens-turned-young adults to university.
As you can guess from its title, Generations deepens and broadens your sims' various stages of life by adding mechanics suited to their age. It begins in childhood, with one of the expansion's most charming and surreal additions: the imaginary friend. This semicreepy stuffed wonder morphs from plush toy into a combination of best friend and personal assistant. Watching your child's purple Martian mutant saunter about with an exaggerated bounce is as charming and silly a sight as any in the series, and you only see him when you are directly controlling your child. Want a snack? Send your pal to grab you one. Want help with making the beds and cleaning the toilet? Ask your invisible friend to help with your chores. Heck, you can even turn him into a controllable sim if you mess around at the chemistry table often enough. You make potions here, one of which will make your virtual Pinocchio a real boy. Well, almost, anyway. You can craft other potions at the table too, such as mood enhancers and the like, though potions aren't exactly new; the Makin' Magic expansion for the original game included a similar mechanic.
Luckily, other elements are more interactive. You can throw bachelor parties now for engaged sims, and if things get wild and crazy, why not pull out a video camera? You activate cameras from your personal inventory and "tape" events from a first-person view. It's actually pretty amusing to step into the shoes of an individual sim in this manner because you suddenly feel like you are actually eavesdropping on your neighbors' conversations rather than having your virtual doppelganger do your dirty work for you. Later, you can watch your home videos on television, though reliving these moments isn't nearly as fun as capturing them in the first place. Perhaps you aren't so much into the partying aspect of The Sims 3. Luckily, there's at least a little something new to mess with for most types of players. Builders and buyers will appreciate spiral staircases and the new wedding arch; family-oriented folks will like how you can reprimand your kids when they're particular naughty; and if you're into woohoo, beware: You now have to worry about your romantic reputation.
The Sims series continues to let you control the lives of little computer people as they commute to their jobs, socialize with each other using wild gestures and gibberish-language "socials," and sneak off to the potty. And the fourth expansion, The Sims 3: Generations, will add new content for the littlest little computer people--small children and teenagers. We've already covered the expansion's primary additions and gone in depth on the new features for small child sims in our previous coverage. This time around, we have the full details on what you can expect from teenager gameplay.
As we've mentioned previously, teenagers will have a host of new prank socials they'll be able to play on the people they ideally neither know nor love. These include the classic pranks we all remember from our youth, along with a bunch of booby traps that can be set throughout the house for unsuspecting family members or houseguests. Pranks include making prank calls, doorbell ditching (the dastardly act of ringing a house's front doorbell and running away before the residents can get to the door), egging a house, and a little something The Sims Studio calls "planting a flaming bag." Booby traps will include such things as toilets that overflow, sinks that spray, and showers that are loaded with dye. Naturally, sims that get pranked will receive a negative moodlet (temporary states in The Sims 3 that either enhance or detract from your sim's mood), but teenagers that pull off their pranks or booby traps without getting caught will earn positive moodlets. With a successful run of unpunished pranks, teens can earn an "uber prankster" moodlet.
I just bought Sims 3 Generations here on origin. Once I finally downloaded it and clicked the play button it goes to the sims 3 launcher and it will just play sims 3, not generations. Mind you My Sims 3 is up to date and has the latest patches and I also have the Sims 3 disk in, and I bought the online sims 3 generations. Can someone please tell me or help me figure out why the Sims 3 generations won't launch?
generations adds items to your game for e.g. the chemestry lab table the generations expansion pack added game play to your game elders can now use a cane your teen sims can prank a house '3 types of treehouse's come with generations
For aged Sims, you can now create the stereotypical cranky old person with the introduction of the cane. Yes, now your Sim can shake their cane at younger generations and nobody can stop you. Be old, hate the youth, and become a Scooby-Doo villain (EA, can you add that as DLC? I think Hanna-Barbera would be up for it.) 041b061a72
