Does anyone remember a game called MySims? I do. I'd like to know what happened to the series? It just sort of faded away as if it were nothing... I know it's not made by Maxis. I checked Wikipedia. But what happened?

Also the MySims series was in the Sims 2 and Sims 3 era.

Don't know about MySims on MTS, but you can still buy it on Voldemolt Origin. My 10 year old has it.

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I remember a wii game called MySims! You had to go to houses and build/color furniture for people and find new colors or furniture types by fishing or doing activities around town. Hahha I loved that game until my wii stopped working and I specifically remember characters Poppy and Violet. Ah, memories!

Confession: I bought every single MySims game for wii.

That game actually has a great mechanic of creating objects... all of the objects are created from blocks and various textures. It's all manually made, and you could actually make anything you wanted. I wish something like that was implemented in original sims games... Also, I loved various activities your sim could do. Most of them contained minigames too, it was more socially and crafting oriented harvest-moon game with better graphics. I loved it for my brief time I played it, and I always wondered how was it when it was online... that train station feels abandoned...

EDIT: The "I DO NOT AGREE MAN" is back to save the day! Now on every forum and subforum!

They dumbed it down and are now calling it The Sims 4.

Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

Wot, who could disagree with the fact that I used to own all of the MySims games?? What kinda discourse happened on this forum?

Maybe they think they found one that you never knew about?

The random disagreer is back.

I OWNED EVERY MYSIMS GAME

Even Party. I had no friends.

Are those games really that good? I really loved The Sims for PSP, my favorite, hands down. Best story (and it does have an actual story). GBA games were very good, as well. PS2 and PC games were horrible. How do MySims compare on my scale?

I loved the MySims series but Party and SkyHeros sucked! In Party the controls never worked. In SkyHeros the gameplay was more limited and sort of linear. I haven't played Agents or Racing yet. I really want to get MySimsAgents. One more thing. Is there anyway to get MySims Racing without getting the MySims+MySimsRacing bundle? I don't need another normal MySims game.

I'm mixed about TS4 but I see why you said that. The MySims series had some bad games around the end of it's era. I'm talking about you SkyHeros and Party! *Locks away both games so no one will experience how bad those games were*

That's the game I was mentioning! I have the Wii version too! I remember Chef Gino and how my Wii made that loading noise when playing the game.

I'm still wondering why they didn't continue the Bustin Out series

I had the MySims game for PC where you run around and build objects for this little town. It was the cutest thing. If you still have it, it will run with Windows 8.1. I haven't tried it on 10 yet, but I think I will now that it's been mentioned.

Now that you mention it, I remember that too! That was such a fun game.

Technically, The Sims Bustin' Out was a sequel to The Sims (1) on consoles.

How so? They had nothing in common.

P.S. Now would you look at that! Every post until yesterday evening is disagreed with. Someone here is a 12-y.o. who likes to open random topics to disagree with everyone but has to go to sleep early.

I haven't played MySims yet, is it a good game? I'm shooting for a full collection and would like to try it. Is it anything like Urbz: Sims in the City? I got that one for Xbox recently and I like the story line/rpg feel to the game.

It's actually really cute. I have no idea if it's different on PC and console like Sims is. It's sort of like Sims meets Legos.

The basic idea of the game is that you go in as a little Sim (think kinda like Lego people) that you get to customize and then you go around your little town building stuff for people in order to get more people to move to town. Also, you have to go around town collecting these little items (I forget what they're called) in order to decorate your build items.

Little item: Essence... It's called essence, and every character has a preffered essence taste. But it's basically only texture you apply to object. You also have blueprints for objects, you build objects, relationships, houses and you unlock new areas with new types of essence, all by getting reputation points (XP basically). You can fish the essence, grow essence on a tree (or by cutting tree). You can mine the essence or get it from socializing. You can also build your own house and workshop. Once the town is full, you have bascally done everything the game has on offer, but you can still roleplay from time to time. The game's main focus, however, was the online part, which would hold it alive for who knows how long, if it wasn't for EA always shutting down servers. I'm wondering if it can be modded to be played online again, if it already hasn't been.

I haven't played MySims, but if you want a full collection then from myself I heartily recommend Sims 2 for PSP if you've got PSP. It's the best of all sims-related games in my opinion. It has a very good story, many interesting activities and jobs, and you've got Strangetown characters involved in the story. Everything about it is great.

Bustin' Out and the Urbz are the next recommendation. You already played The Urbz, but you played the inferior version. The versions of these games I recommend are for Game Boy Advance, these are by far superior to Playstation\XBox versions. They're very very different, so you won't be buying the same game. Although GBA might be hard to get, but thankfully emulators exist for this so you can run these games on PC.

The third recommendation would be Sims 2 for either DS or GBA. They're inferior in quality to games above, but still interesting enough to play. Sims 2 for DS features a story about a sim coming to Strangetown and managing a hotel, and Sims 2 for GBA has a story centered around a reality-show in which your sim participates.

All of titles I named above are better than Playstation\XBox titles, in my opinion, so I recommend them with pleasure.

Late reply... but I love those games so much. I played all of them and the only one I disliked was Party. I still play them today. I made so many friends over those games and they made me so happy and I'm still holding on the hope that there will be a new one. But my hope is dwindling after six empty years
