Was there an alarm clock in the first game? There was in TS2, and it’s a bit of a lifesaver (except when they went to sleep dead late and then refused to go to work)
I just started playing the original game two weeks ago or so and time management is pretty much my main complaint right now. It feels a little too close to (or even more punishing than) real life, where there’s barely any time to keep up with my character’s needs after coming back from work.
It can be done though - I’m slowly getting used to how things work again and my sim has been leaving in a slightly better mood then before. Just need to get into a proper Sims mindset, I guess.
That’s the one thing that frustrates me the most about these games, too. Minutes fly by like seconds, but the Sims move in realtime! There’s never enough time to actually do anything in the game! So I keep my Sims unemployed and just cheat.
Been playing The Sims since 2001; in all those years I have never seen anyone release a timescale mod for any of the games. So when do play, most of my time is spent in Build/Buy mode.
They move in realtime, but they finish a meal in 10 seconds. Bathroom breaks and baths also take ~10 seconds. Not to mention that clothes changing is a single spinning jump. Wish it was that easy in real life

EA will mess up the “remaster” I am sure.
Sorry, criticizing the releases costs $14.99
Mentioning the releases costs USD1.99
They’re not gone though? My wife plays Sims 2 all the time.
They’re no longer available for sale.
The Sims 2 has always been on the Mac App Store under Aspyr.
It still gets random updates to account for system-level changes.

I loved original The Sims and lost a lot of time to it. However, I was frustrated that I couldn’t match the time like in real life.
Did anyone manage to get people to work before 10am!? The Sims took ages to get ready! 😂

Damn, I guess I’m a Sim
