The Sims Medieval

When I was a teen.. I had a slow computer and The Sims. I was so excited about the game that it didn't matter even it took a lot of time to play the game since my computer wasn't good enough for the game. Still I sit in front of the computer during summer nights and realised at some point that it was morning already.. I had played through the night. Scary!

Making a new queendom.

Of course I want my queen to be adventurous.

Queen Sonja loves red.


Now I am not playing that long time anymore but still it is nice to return to play Sims serie every now and then. Nowdays I play either Sims 2 or The Sims Medieval and now it felt good to go into medieval time. Even the game is rather different comparing to basic Sims. The Sims Medieval is a game where you do make your own kingdom and create characters in different professions to play it there. All of them have tasks to do but rather different ones. When you play a ruler your duty is to make new laws, listen your folk and make decisions what are best for your country. As  a healer you will try to find new cures and medicines and heal people.  Still tasks are rather simple ones  and you can finish them rather fast. After that you can concentrate to gain some money and to decorate your buildings.

Queen Sonja is holding a court.
People will come to get an advice from a queen.

Sometimes decision is the right one.

The new thing is that now you're doing quests (Alright, I think same idea was at least in the Sim game where you were showrecked into tropical island). You can choose quest what you want to do but after choosing one they're rather straightforward what to do. Still they have been rather interesting ones.. at least to a person who is tired after work and want to play hour or so relaxing a little. And there are always some extra things what you can do like go to adventuring. When you choose to do so, you will get some options what you will do and depending what you choose the game will tell what happened. What a lovely idea.

Queen Sonja loves adventuring.

The queen has to defen her land from outlaws.


The Sims Mediaval feels familiar  and yet there is slighty different things compared to the Sims, Sims 2 or Sims 3.  It is nice to play more straightforward game and finish your duties when you can see your kingdom improving. Still the game is very light one and at least for now I haven't needed to worry about wars or nasty neighbours. So if Civilizations feels competitive games, perhaps making a kingdom in the Sims is your thing then.

The life of Sim

When I was like 18.. I remember that there were one game what was able to keep me awake whole night. That game was called the Sims. It was way more addicting than Sim city serie where I was only to build houses. Now I was able to build detailed houses and determine the life of sims. Sounds fascinating.. and yeah to me it was that. I remember that biggest minus was that when you got children they never grew up. And that was irritating. 


Even there are new added things Sims3 still feels familiar.
Son of the witch and fairy is little fairy.


After first sim I owned also Sims 2 and many expansions to it. And now finally. Families were able to live, grow, and die. I remember that I created own cemetary for the family so that when one of them died they were buried in to ground where they used to live. Sounds creepy, eh? But at least families were able to mourn their relatives. 

if you have Supernatural expansion, you can have fairies.

Building a house is still fun, if you have money. 


I know that there is Sims 4 but still I have started to play Sims 3 since I had gotten it while ago but never touched it. Also some of the reviews weren't the nicest about sims 4 so I was planning to give it time when gave first tests to Sims 3. And game serie didn't fail me again either. So far Sims 3 has been fun to play even I haven't gotten time to play it much so far. But I have allready noticed that when you play as fairy your life expansion is far longer than humans. So it makes it easier to get better jobs and earn money. 

So first impression about this game is good. I got what I was expecting and still there are new carieers and other stuff what will take some time to explore. I might write more about this when I have tried other expansions. Now I have had only Supernatural and Nightlife so life with fairies, witches, werewolves, vampires and even ghosts are possible. Just making them to be your friends isn't that simple.
