Last week Rock, Paper, Shotgun brought you part one of their interview with EA's Rod Humble. This week they bring you the second part, where they get down to talking about Rod's day job: The Sims. When you're sat down for dinner with the man in charge of one the biggest selling gaming franchise ever, and have a chance to find out more about the forthcoming The Sims 3, what do you ask about? Peeing. And then some slightly more practical questions. Along the way Rock, Paper, Shotgun discussed The Sims' sociology on a wider scale, how Rod finds freezing to death endlessly funny, and why The Sims' expansion packs deserve a better time than the gaming press gives them.
TNS: "inZOI has been recently released in Early Access and surprisingly, The Sims welcomed it with open arms and a fruitcake to boot."
With an expensive backlog of DLC that it struggles to run on modern hardware, The Sims 3 deserves revisiting.
They all deserve a remaster, alongside the Sims City games. Sims 3 in particular should be looked at more only cause of how hot it makes PC's.
The Sims Legacy has been such a mess you just wanna scream "Groble!"
Unfortunately in order to run them properly on modern windows you have to tinker with ini files and mod em. Should've been a remaster, these games are much better than SIMS 4.
