Well not anymore! Thanks to the tireless work of some amazing modders, we can re-introduce some of the more nuanced aspects of human life into the game, increasing the simulation’s complexity and often making everything just a little bit darker, grittier… more real.įor anyone interested in making their Sims experience as real as it can be, here are the some awesome mods for increased realism. Everything is funny, absurd, and sims just take everything as lightly as possible. It’s fun to watch the wacky situations our sim counterparts get themselves into… or the situations we force onto them for our amusement.īut The Sims contrasts substantially with human life in its cartoonish nature. I don't know that I want to play the game like that every time I play, but I appreciate the ability to inject a little chaos into my pleasant suburbs.We play EA’s Sims 4 to experience a detailed simulation of human life. The Extreme Violence mod makes The Sims the kind of place where every day is The Purge. Part of this is because while Sim will visibly and audibly panic if there's a murder going on in front of them (and the Extreme Violence mod allows players to call the police to arrest the Sims committing crimes), once they cycle through the animation, Sims are just weirdly okay with the random shootings and stabbings.
It's not so much grotesque as it is cartoonish. Still, there is something intoxicating about just how absurd the Extreme Violence mod is.
If I want realism in my game of The Sims, I'll add laundry. There is too much violence in the actual world for me to get much pleasure out of causing it in the game that I use to escape into fantasies of interior design. You basically get a "push this button to cause chaos" mechanic, allowing you to turn the pleasant neighborhoods of Oasis Springs or Britechester into blood soaked nightmare towns at a moment's notice.Īs an adult, I don't need all this. When I was fifteen or sixteen, I would have loved this. The violence is random, and escalates exponentially so that you go from fist fight to cold blooded murder before you can blink. Playing The Sims with the Extreme Violence mod installed turns it into a bootleg version of Grand Theft Auto.
