Singles is a new game that is an x-rated version of the Sims - http://www.singles-thegame.com

well poop, my work filter won't let me go there :lol:

but i used to play the sims all the time. sims with sex you say? hmm....i don't see the attraction, unless of course you're a teenager :lol:

I don't think its made by the same company... it just kind of looks like the Sims. The Sims are made by Maxis and this is by Rotobee & Silver. However, I did read that the Sims are coming out with a new version in August (?) that goes generational! You get to control a character from birth to death and then control the kids of that character! You are no longer just trying to get that once character to the top of the job (like in previous versions), you are trying to better the whole family. It sounds interesting. I think the "life" span is 25 computer hours.

I just checked the sims website, its September 17th.

:woo: i've been waiting for sims2! (of course i am having the baby on sept 15th so that'll probably cut into my playing time :lol: )

they grow up, they get old, and their body types correlate to how you make them act. if you keep them hanging on the couch, they get fat!

i can't wait.

Do they make more Sims? :scratch:

yes! in sims2 they even grow up apparently! in sims1 they grow to kid size but that's it...mine got sent off to military school :lol:

How about in the sims x-rated version? :crazy:

("Please fondle a key to continue..." Haha - I shoulda been a video game designer!)

Yes, Singles is made by a totally different company. The game is similar to the Sims but you have the added goal fo trying to have sex. For those who can't access the site, here's some info for it:


SINGLES – Flirt up your life: The interactive relationship

Conquer the heart of attractive Linda or make Mike fall in love with you!

Singles – Flirt up your Life is the simulation of the exciting relationship between Mike and Linda. The game shows them in their shared flat, which means that everyday routines are focused as well: Cooking, watching TV and cleaning are as important as talks and a cuddle. And of course the two have to work for a living as well … Enjoy playing Cupid!

About the Game
Is there a fixed campaign?
In the course of the game, players will have to complete a number of different objectives one after the other. The first could be simply to fulfil the characters' needs, the second might be to engage Mike and Linda in conversation. Further objectives could be to improve their furnishings, the first kiss, and so on. By the way, money in Singles does not grow on trees any more than it does in real life, but has to be earned through honest toil!

So the game characters have different personalities – how does this influence gameplay?
The same as it does in real life. Take the opposites orderly/slovenly, for example. A slovenly game character will have a rather high "threshold of pain", which means he or she won't mind overflowing bins, dirty dishes on the kitchen table or grubby floors as much as an orderly person will. Slovenly characters still feel fine and comfortable when their partners are just about ready to freak out! Besides, slovenly characters never feel obliged to do the dishes – unless you drop them a subtle hint.

Freak out? So there are quarrels as well?
Hey, Mike and Linda are no saints! Of course there will be quarrels. For instance when their relationship has been neglected by the player. In this case, the game is again just like real life: A little thunderstorm now and then can be just what's needed to clear up the atmosphere …

There is a lot of talk about "erotic relationships". Will these be part of the game?
You bet they will – after all, the game is a real life simulation. This is why we will be showing eroticism - but no pornography. The characters will e.g. be seen naked. They will have showers and baths, and cuddle as well. And yes, they will have sex – either together, if you manage to make them fall in love with each other, or on their own.

Apart from Mike and Linda – which other features are part of the game?
For a start, there are hundreds of items of furniture which you can buy and place in the flat. Of course, all these objects have different functions in the game. They can be used to refurbish the rooms, and they will definitely cost Mike and Linda lots of money. The flat can be decorated as well: Walls can be painted, floors changed, new windows can be built in with no trouble at all. You can even add new walls – or how about a little landscape gardening? A swimming pool always looks good …

I have seen this at our local games store and it looks really interesting, I have been tempted to buy but I am a loyal devoted Sims player. I wonder if the release of this has something to do with Sims2, as its very real looking and I have seen it in the stores for some time now?

It does look to be a good game but I would be interested to see how popular the game is.

ooh, noted that you can download the game to play for an hour.

mental note to try this when i get home :lol: (apparently i am a teenage boy :lol: )

:rotflmao: Kim if you do download it, let me know how you get on. It wont let me do it because I dont live in the US :tantrum: But in saying that, I am tempted to head down to the store and buy it right now, the screenshots look fantastic!

since my office connection won't let me go to sites that contain the word 'game' :rolleyes: i had to poke around to see this game.

funny review with a few shots here: http://www.ocprices.com/index.php?game_id=57&cat_id=89&action=games

I made DH buy for me and I am hooked!!!

Its similar to the sims, in fact most of the furniture is similar, but you have a game plan to it and its em, full of inuendos (sp) :lol:

It will tide me over until Sims2 comes out but I love this!
