Grim Reaper out of Work

[Truswagga]

Will this cause the sims to have less chances of dying? Will this overpopulate the sims community?Tell Me?


The eight traditional motive bars governing bladder, hunger, and other needs are gone and have been condensed to a few (the most important being "stress versus fun"), but that doesn't mean you don't have to go to the bathroom. Instead, a Sim that needs to pee will suddenly have a "debuff" icon (dubbed a "moodlet" by The Sims 3 makers) appear over his portrait -- reducing that Sim's mood until it's addressed. Likewise, events such as a first kiss or a job promotion can trigger moodlet buffs with lasting results.

Plusses: More time to focus on careers, relationships, or being creative right from the get-go. Less time obsessively compulsively picking up dirty dishes to top off a comfort bar -- and then realizing it's time for bed. Also, less emphasis on the acquisition of objects simply because they make a certain bar fill up faster. Plus, players can now manipulate their Sims' environment directly -- breaking the fourth wall to pick up garbage for them, for example.

Potential Pitfalls: Oversimplified Sims: While Humble and his team say they're making a concerted effort to bring back the "game" aspect of The Sims, role-playing game players (read: the type of hardcore gamer most likely to get into the Sims series) crave stats and often don't appreciate when too much is hidden behind the curtain.

Think about this.The sims age at the sames rate(with the new gradual aging),humans age at the same rate in the cycle of a year.The sims will obviously be different ages...so the old sims grow with the young and they eventually die off.The set of adults turns to old people and the teens turns to adults young adults whatever,keeping the neighborhood from becoming over populated.So it  will be just like the real world.
