so could someone explain the new motive system to me?

[simsfreak287]

seriously
I know nothing about it
and the knew asparitions
does anyone know anything
about it??

[FOBluvr987]

I think you chose five [glow=purple,2,300]traits[/glow] that best describe your sim...

[simsfreak287]

I get the personality part
but I need to understand
the um...
needs
and dreams
part
apparently
its an all new system...
anyone know about that???

[hansthesockmonkey]

supposedly they have takent away all 8 bladder, hunger,environment, fun, etc bars and are replacing them with like 3 mood bars that deal w/ stress vs. fun and such
and instead of want and fears they have like a dream thing now and say you walk by another sim that your sim finds attractive or something and you get a dream to want to know them better
or you're walking by the clothing store and you have a dream to get new shoes
the dreams can become promises too... sim child looks through telescope for first time and decides he wants to become an astronaut... you can make that a promise kind of like locking wants in the sims 2

[simsfreak287]

only three needs
sounds really boring
but then agian
with dreams maybe
it be to bad...
that is if its sort of
challenge
is their still the skill system???

I am just wondering where you are getting all this info from as I haven't seen anything else other than the Images and brief description of what to expect in the game.....dont recall reading any of what you said so just wondering
so that I can read up more about it

Read the offical PC Gamer, and Games for Windows magazine articles on The Sims 3. That's where most people got first word and explination of the Dreams and Promises system.

Thanks for that info appreciate it   The mag isnt out here yet (Australia) but I do know about it having details of the sims3 in it, cant wait to read it

thanks again

Yeah, they think it's better because no one says," [glow=purple,2,300]I am 75% ready to pee[/glow]", they just gotta pee! You can be in a crappy mood because you're hungry and you gotta go! Which makes it more [glow=purple,2,300]realistic[/glow] ;D
