What are some fun houses I can build in The Sims?

>>379215764
The house of the dead.

What's with the red circle?

>>379216734
fug, I saved an edited pic

>>379216734
its some weird slide from the tub? i don't understand.

>>379216734
The toilet has a weird ceiling I guess

>>379215764
I dont see how this building is structurally stable. I don't see any support beams

>>379217129
>he supports beams

>>379215764
i dont remember that top right room

I got the Sims 3 recently and I just can't seem to play for more than 20 mins at a time, what should I be doing in this fucking game to have fun?

>>379218405
Be a chef! That's what I always do.

>>379217478
Bart's room?

>>379218678
I think he means the Rumpus Room.

>>379218678
i meant top right of the picture, so lower level

>>379217478
Yeah, whats up with that?

Also where did grandpa live?

How the fuck did Homer afford that house

>>379218678
>>379218894
>>379218908
Homer was sitting in that room watching tv when Bart and Milhouse were fighting in the treehouse when it was raining.

>>379217478
Apparently it's rumpus room?
I have no idea who rumpus is or why he got a room.

>>379215764

the simpsons are supposed to be poor, yet they have this huge ass house

>>379219142
>suppose to be poor
>career as a Nuclear Technician

>>379218405
Every now and then I'll play it for like 20-30 hours in a couple weeks and then get bored of it. Usually I just get some goal in mind like save up money to build a mansion or bang a bunch of people or break up a marriage or something. If you're autistic enough to set up storylines in your head or just like fucking around, it can be really fun in bursts.

Its the rumpus room

>>379219142
The 90s were a different kind of poor.

>>379219142
And two cars.
And go on overseas holidays regularly.

>>379219235
>$80k a year

fuck that's juicy money, plenty to support a family of 5 on in a smallish town

>>379219142
they were middle class, not poor. Maybe slightly above middle class.

>>379219383
And a stay at home trophy wife

>>379219235
>>379219389
They have a pretty generous Dental Plan as well.

>>379219349

I think this was the only time this room was shown.

I always just assumed on the couch, but I'm thinking about it a little harder now. I want to know this too.

>>379219476
They were upper lower middle class.

>>379218405
Incest mod.

>>379218975
Springfield retirement castle

>>379219142
That was poor in the 80s and early 90s.

People owned a house like that in their mid 20s already.

The economy just went to shit under the clintons superbad and thats why everything sucks 20 years later.

It was in a few episodes

I could have sworn Bart and Lisa's rooms were opposite each in other in the hallway, and that the basement stairs connected to the kitchen somehow.

Wasn't that only in the Treehouse of Horror sketch where Homer made a time-traveling toaster?

You clearly aren't a simpsons fan if you don't know the answer to that.

>>379218405
nigga if you dont know how to have fun in the sims than maybe you should consider another game.

>>379220150
>not having lobsters for dinner

>Golden Age simpsons will never be topped
feels good.

>>379220150
Except grabbing high-voltage cables without protection

>>379219142
Nah, they're middle class. Late 80's Middle Class. As bumbling as Homer is, he's a fucking boomer who got a fucking Nuclear Engineering job dropped on his lap, they aren't poor.

>>379220187
That's what I was trying to find a clip of, yes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43Lk_qxUxVw#t=1m50s

>>379219142
The 90s had comfortable poor.

>>379220524
pure comedy gold

>>379219784
Thats because the house changes to fit the episode.

Theres an episode where marge is showing someone around and she says they have a sitting room "although its not there all the time"
or something to that effect.

>>379219046
Baby boomer

>>379219046
Working in a nuclear power plant pays pretty well though.

>>379221058
Im pretty sure most boomers are functionally retarded.
Like what the fuck, school was more than easy for them, gas and real estate did cost absolutely nothing and jobs for everybody and yet they turned out to be so fucking retarded.

>>379221250
>tfw in the 1950s you could flip burgers or work at a gas station and own a home, 2 cars and support a family

>>379220258
which seasons are supposed to be Golden Age?

>>379221451
2-11 imo

>>379221451
2-9

>>379221451
I like 3 and some near then more than most

>>379221250
I blame inflation

>>379221598
DOBSOOOON!

>>379221508
>11
Yeah Behind the Laughter is pretty much an appropriate ending to the Simpsons but 10 and 11 were still mediocre compared to 2-9, even if 10 and 11 are miles better than everything after it.

It's like Sealab 2021 where everything after Murphy's VA passing away wasn't that good yet the ending to the series was still good.

>>379221598
It's not inflation. It's neocons. They fucked the west so bad because boomers thought they're smart.
>flood the country with third worlders who severely undercut wages so you can cheap out on paying your workers
>raise taxes
>refuse to hire anyone who hasnt finished college even for jobs that shouldnt require it
>if someone with a degree tries to get a job give him an internship instead
Greedy boomers and neocons (democrats and republicans alike) fucked over the west so bad.

>>379221880
>>379221508
>>379221518
Why does nobody like the first season? Its my favourite season.

>>379221598
The way the economy is set up is so that it will continue to grow and prosper so long as most people act in their own interest in the long term.
Boomers acted very strongly in their own interest in the short term fucking everything up in the long term. They've fucked up the legal system, environment, pensions/social security, banking and housing markets all in the name of short term profit.
We're no longer in that short term time span and we're suffering the consequences.

>>379221598
>>379221889
Free trade and globalization murdered any non-agricultural based economy outside of the coasts.

>>379218405
It becomes a lot more fun if you have 4 or more members in the household. I did that first and had a ton of fun. Later I reinstalled but wanted to focus on just one or two sims, and then wondered why I wasn't having fun like the first time.

Not long ago I made a big household again and it was fun once more.

>>379221880
>Behind the Laughter is pretty much an appropriate ending to the Simpsons

Looking in retrospective that episode was a huge cry for help, they knew what was coming ahead, they warned us and we didn't listen now we have to deal with the consequences.

>>379222031
>>379222035
A economy based on infinite growth is bullshit.
A growth based economy must be allowed to shrink and regrow.
It's a cyclical pattern. Japan is doing it right, one of the few countries who will just sit it out and adapt to the situations.

The normal cycle would be economic growth > aging population > economic stagnation > shrinking population > more free jobs and automation > economic growth.

But the western world and greedy boomers overreacted with their retarded predictions and started importing billions of third worlders into the west in order to "save pensions" and "create growth" and completely fucked over the economy.

The west is already dead, its only a matter of time until it all comes crashing down.
But opening the borders for third worlders fucked over everyone.

Today's japanese youth are so miserable they call them "the enlightened generation" (like what happened to the Buddha once he subjected himself to suffering)

>>379222893
At least nips have the best escapism of the world at arms-length and parents who are willing to take care of them and give them money for their hobbies because the other option is shamefur dispray and that's a big no-no. I'd take being a kissless virging hikkineet in Japan a 1000 times over being one in the West.

>TFW the world's population has more than doubled since the 1970s
We're fucked.

>>379222553
really depends where you live.

>>379223221
overpopulation isn't the issue.
it's people being too condensed.

>>379223221
Just delet China and India and we'll be fine.

I'm sure they're destined to be hit by a mass plague any time now with all their pollution and population density.

>>379224112
a couple.

>>379224384
basically every scripted half hour serialized situational comedy from the 1950s until today has a trite judeo-christian moral lesson underlying every episode

>>379217071

It's just representing the sloping ceiling above the basement stairway

>>379221964
It just feels like a very different show. Tonally, it's all over the place; some episodes have stories about depression or suicide, there's an episode about Bart being abused by Frenchmen and forced to drink drain cleaner, two episodes about infidelity, etc., but then some episodes have Rugrats-esque stories about fighting bullies with water balloons, or goofy B-stories about Bart and Homer playing video games while Lisa is grappling with depression, or a silly Home Alone style kids vs. bandits episode. It's all over the place. Plus, Klasky Csupo is awful.

>>379224808
there was a real one that fox built and gave away in a contest

what the fuck is up with the fish next to the kitchen

>>379224892
>Klasky Csupo is awful

they really are. always hated their style.

>>379224892
It's pretty clear the writers were going in all directions with season 1 trying to find their voice. I'd have to say it worked given the spike in quality shortly after.

>>379223221
Overpopulation isn't really an issue, birth rates go down everywhere. Even in Africa fertility rates will eventually sink to western/east asian levels. I think most scientists agree that we will never exceed 10 billion people.

>>379224892
like studio roman is much better. the simpsons was always a pretty ugly show but the newest episodes are just abysmal to look at.

>>379224914
its a wall decoration you dumb

>>379224914
Simpsons/Spongebob crossover. Springfield is underwater now.

>>379224914

Probably just out of view/just not drawn in. I think not seeing columns is more worrying, but the studs do have blocking so maybe that makes up for it?

Word. A little older but maybe even better example: this is the Bundy residence from Married With Children. As a shoe salesmen with a housewife. Even if it's not his property (yet), it's still impressive.

>>379225443
For the second one:
>Most of the hallucination sequence was animated completely by David Silverman. Silverman did not want the risk of sending it to South Korea, as he wanted it to look exactly as he had imagined it, including rendered backgrounds to give a soft mystical feel to the scene.

Most of the simpsons actual art was farmed out to Korea. Makes me love this intro all the more.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK-1zT1gBXk&t=33s

>>379224892
So you're saying it was surprising, unpredictable and had a interesting and raw style?

>>379225443
Studio Roman is shitty korean sweatshop crap

Klasky Csupo is hand drawn.

>>379216590
>The house of the dead.
This. Big spooky mansions were my favorite thing to build in the sims.

>>379226163
Way to willfully misinterpret my argument.

>ask for houses to build in Sims
>turns into a Simpsons thread

>>379226251
both studios farmed the actual task of drawing each frame of the actual animation out to korean companies. the planning and key frame animation was done in the US by the guys you actually see in the credits of the episodes.

nowadays its done much differently though, obviously.

Grandpa Simpson sold his house so Homer could afford his.

>>379222391
This
All this shit I hear about shrinking populations being an epidemic is bull shit. It's a good thing, when your economy, retirements, pensions etc depend on a every expanding base (like a pyramid scheme) you know something is up

>>379219547
It came back in a recent Christmas episode when they turned the house into a bed-and-breakfast. Marge even commented "sometimes it's there, sometime's it's not".

>>379219958
the frank grimes episode was too real
poor soon of a bitch

>>379227835
>soon

I've been playing Person all day. My brain is a fuck

>>379227835
i like the grimes episode but i always felt like they should have had someone do a guest voice for him instead of the same old hank azaria voice that 60% of the side characters already have. it really would have driven home how different of a character he was i think.

its weird how the simpsons seem to do guest voices for any old reason whatsoever and the one time it really would have worked in the context of the episode they choose not to.

>>379219046
Not related but how did Al Bundy afford his house?

>fun houses
Some autist made fucking hogwarts castle in the sims.

The art gremlin was cool. He lived in the basement and sold art to support the normal family that lived above him.

Rape dungeons are a strong consider.

The OG baller house was the time spiral hedge maze of doom. 20 hour walk to commute to work. Don't have the image of it.

>>379219524
Lisa necesita frenos.

>>379227835
Anyone who sympathizes with Frank Grimes completely missed the point of the episode. So you've suffered and there's people doing better than you? Good job being a entitled fuck. Instead of focusing on other people lives and how they are better than yours and being an envious fuck focus on your own life and in improving it. His end was perfectly fitting.

>>379228758

When's the last time they ever used that backroom with the TV? I think it disappeared after Season 2.

Also the basement is supposed to be under the stairs ain't it?

>>379230216

A few years ago.

"You can stay in our rumpus room. Sometimes we have it, sometimes we don't. Our house is silly that way!"

>>379219046
Abe gave Homer the money for the down payment.
The house is on several mortgages while Homer tries to pay the rest off.

>>379231504

He paid it off once. Then Moe needed money to keep the bar open and Homer got another one.

Sometimes they try to get someone and then they cancel at the last minute. Like how Tom in Brother from the Same Planet was supposed to be Tom Cruise but he cancelled so they had to use Phil Hartman again.

>>379231561
Don't forget that time he invested in pumpkin futures, fucked that up and had to have Marge's sisters pay the mortgage.

>>379228965
Except he was fine with Homer's family,his main problem with Homer stemmed from his blatant incompetency and disregard for safety coupled with everyone willing to gloss over those two flaws with "yeah, he's a cool guy though", any other problem he had with Homer's success was born from his rage at that point snowballing out of control.

>>379219524
So long dental plan!

>>379232354
He blew up at the family too (Because he believed Homer didn't deserve them) though he half apologised afterwards saying it was nice meeting them.

I really want to play the sims 3 but it has so many fucking expansion packs and dlcs that it's gonna take a real fucking long time to torrent those all.

>>379228758
Grimes was whiny so it's not obviously pleasant to watch but the youmustnevercomplainsfags h1ve such unreasonable standards.
The only bad thing he did was being angry at someone extremely lucky after his only chance to succeed at life was destroyed (indirectly because of the same guy fault) and he basically killed himself because of a mental breakdown.
That's not even like he wanted to hurt Homer or anything.
Whoah literal Hitler.

>>379219349

This room is clearly on the second floor, it's level with the tree house.

>>379219818
>says it took him about a day of research to figure out the layout
>says there is no much info about the Simson's house layout
>says that while pretty much anyone can easily make out the layout of the 1st floor and the room placement is well known, almost no one know where the kid's room are placed exactly
>still got the 2nd floor pretty wrong and the 1st floor room sizes fucked up
How fucking stupid can he be?
It takes 2 minutes to find an accurate Simpson's house map, and that was when Sims 2 was still the main game.
And even without it, anyone who's seen any episode in which both Bart's and Lisa's room are shown can see how they're placed to each other.
Take any episode in which Bart and/or Homer run from their respective rooms down to the first floor and following their path you can easily make out where the rooms are, same goes for the bathroom.
Maggie's room placement is almost never shown clearly, but even then it can be easily figured out.

>>379219142
Upper lower middle class

>>379228758
I think you missed the point of the episode, you deranged fucking idiot.

>>379219142
They were mildly cartoon poor in the 80s/90s

>>379228758
You are mostly right but I don't think the writers were that unsympathetic to him and he is obviously still supposed to be right about Homer.
