Lottery & Stuff

Black_Eagle99 · 24-10-2009, 11:46 AM

Hey,

Ok, so apparently my other topic got moved, AGAINST my permission, and against there right to move, so here we go again! Seeing more people stop here for ts3 stuff I though it might be a good place to ask

But does anyone know if there is any Lottery or Casino custom content for TS2? I'm trying to make a casino but need like the pokie machine, craps table, etc.

But would be fun if we could make a lottery stand at a lot and then like win $1,000, 50,000 or 500,000 with a cheque in the post! I want a mod like this please!

Does anyone know where I can find this, otherwise this would a a cool EP for TS3, a Casino on, with like laser and stuff, imagine a Las Vegas neighbourhood in TS3?! cool?!

But mainly I need to know for The Sims 2, but also, in addition, who would like this to be added as custom content or a future expansion pack?

note to GM's - please don't remove this post, I have made reference to TS3, and also, I strickly prohibit you editing or moving my post unless I do something offensive (swear or what not) otherwise u have no right to move it. If I have to I will place a legal notice under all my posts as a signiture, just try me! you don't have a right to touch my posts!

Anyway, who would like this as a TS3 EP?

slakey0207 · 24-10-2009, 12:01 PM

It got moved because your asking for custom content for the sims 2, in the sims 3 section of the forum...

Also they do not need your permission to move a thread, they are the moderators they make up the rules, and don't need to ask anyone whether they can move their thread or not.

MizVoldemort · 24-10-2009, 01:18 PM

Grow up, Black_Eagle. The Mods had every right to move your topic and have every right to move this one - sneakily adding in one vague line about Sims 3 (which you have repeatedly said you hate and is rubbish) does not make it relevent to this section of the forums, rather than the Sims 2 section. You're breaking the rules of the forum, and they can choose whatever consequences they please. If you don't like the rules, don't post on the forum (moreover, if you don't actually like TS3, why come to this section of the forum???)

Also, it's a bit on the stupid side to ask for TS2 content in TS3 forums. Many people who still lurk around here will be the ones who have either never played TS2 and have picked up TS3 new to the series, or people who prefer TS3 over TS2 and don't play/ have uninstalled TS2.

As for the original question, I'll answer it in the Sims 2 section of the forums

There is no issue of legality regarding moderators editing or moving posts.
If you make a post that is clearly regarding a topic thats is not applicable to the section that it is posted in; the moderators reserve the right to move it. And they more than often will.

Black_Eagle99 · 25-10-2009, 11:39 PM

Firstly, consider all your posts reported as you are ganing up on me, and Miz, I have every right to post what I want, and just to rub the salt in deeper here's a very interesting story that I found. PLEASE DON't delete this topic, I'm making this post to point out my position.

Banned a Forum Member: Now Threatened with Legal Action
By Joseph Witchard

There have been many situations of being a member being banned and got that forum shut down.

The banned member sought legal advice and found that this falls under several legal areas and one is "Discrimination" and this translates to NO admins or Moderators are legally allowed to do this.

The same goes for editing posts and deleting threads, it is illegal for the admin / owner to do such things and despite the AUP and EULA or user agreement guff you agree to when you sign up for these web boards, it is paper thin and has no legal stance in law.

It's like a murderer coming in to your house and killing someone. You come home to find the body & you hide it as if it never happened. Then when u find the killer u seek action, however as you have tampered with the "evidence" you have no grounds as you could have tampered with it.

So putting it into webmaster terms, someone posts some bad things on you forum, you ban them and remove it from public view. However when the banned member takes legal action the webmaster has no grounds as they have removed the posts from there original destination on the forum. No matter how much evidence you have on the banned member, I.P address even the posts, as you removed them who knows if you edited them to make them sound worse? It's the banned member against you.

The board that banned the member was very very very quick to reinstate their account when they were threatened with legal action and the offenders that were ganging up on them were given a warning that the admin will take legal action to protect itself. The board owners thought that they were operating within the law, they were not and these people were in a "Major" record labels website, so they were not little guys like most web forums they were a major label of a larger corporation.

Even if the person posts distasteful stuff (kiddie stuff for example), the legal side of things means that deleting the thread is destroying evidence and that opens the owner up to prosecution and abetting and anything else that they can throw at you.

The problem is that people think that they are allowed to do such things and they quite frankly are not.

So a banned board member in this case is justified in defending themselves.
*****************************************

Intersting isn't it, so Wiz, you going to debat with me on that one? If so I will report yout post.

Regardless, I have mad reference to TS3, because if there isn't CC for TS2, then who'd like it as a EP for TS3? Right?

But in addition I also posted the question as Miz said "...or people who prefer TS3 over TS2 and don't play/ have uninstalled TS2.

yeah, so in that time they did have the game they might have seen it, hence why I'm asking because personally I think TS2 is better than TS3, they need to release some big EP (but not for 40-60 dollars!) that would change my mind.

Anyway, we're drifting off topic....

WHO WANT"S a CASINO EF for TS3?

EAUK_Aurora · 25-10-2009, 11:48 PM

Please could this stick with the The Sims 3 casino topic now.

But EAUK_Aurora, what do you reckon? Would u like something like this? A casino EP?

EAUK_Aurora · 25-10-2009, 11:53 PM

Not really. I don't like gambling in real life and my Sims have plenty to do and spend their Simoleans on in their own Simmy world.

But has some good game play

You have a millonare sim, who goes to "casino town" gambles all his money, them becomes a bum!

Then you have to play to keep him alive!

shoeprozac · 27-10-2009, 12:22 PM

I like the theory of a Casino or gambling themed EP, but perhaps rather than make it solely around that, and following on from the WA theme, there could be a Vegas EP? For sims that prefer not to gamble, they could go to see shows, and rock star sims could play at hotels, you would have everything centred to " the Strip" and there would be nightclubs and other stuff besides the casinos. Actually quite a lot of scope for stuff there. Perhaps Vegas should have been one of the towns of choice in WA?!!

But I would rather see some other core stuff re-introduced such as weather before seeing more frivolous EP's, even though it's a great idea Eagle

GrinningManiac · 27-10-2009, 12:32 PM

Firstly: No, think about it, these games are family-friendly, and the Woo-Hoo business is covered up pretty decently. Gambling, however, would be a bad idea. How would consumers react if they found out the game they brought their ten-year old daughter/son had gambling in it?

You might say "It would introduce them to the problems and they can realise it's a bad thing". But what if they keep winning and come to think that gambling is easy, fun and you always win?

What if they get an addiction to it?

"So make an exclusive PG-13 expansion pack!" you say. No, EA would never do that, as it's economically "Dur-Hurr, Stoopid" to narrow the target market for NO reason

Also, with regards to Black Eagle personally, please stop being so prissy. People have the right to critisise you on forums, and if they gang up on you, surely that's a sign that a lot of people think you're doing badly

Hmm... Last time I check TS3, all sims series where rated M or T for teen, so if a parent wants to buy this game for their 10yr old, well it's their fault!

That's why these games are rated M or T for teen due to such content (Sexual references) so what's a difference if they add M (Sexual references & Mild Gambing)? Racing Games have this warning as you "Gambling" your cars in Pink slip races (if you know what I mean) so honestly, there is way's to go around this and your example... well it would be the parents fault as the game isn't rated for that age group.

Also, I'm being prissy? If they have a right to critisise me, I have a right to return it and also to report there posts, which I have done, now Shut up about that, where here to talk about this EP idea!

Here's a picture to show you! Look in the bottom left

Where does he get more money? No it would be like Sims castaway. Once he loses all the money he get's kicked out of the house (bank takes it as bills aren't paid)

Then he had to find a job while living on the street or maybe you can get to know a opposite sex sim or sam sex to be mates with and once you get back on your feet your've made a friend for life! Maybe a life partner if it's an opposite sex sim.... unless while he was broke turned gay

FangedFreak · 27-10-2009, 02:20 PM

Nahhh i dont like the idea of having money then losing it all.. cos whats the point in earning all that money just to lose it all again? lol thats part of the fun in sims.. earning your money and spending it on a nice big house and expensive furniture =]

Clearly your looking into it too much. I never meant to seem like that. But you know what I ment

jaykdy82 · 29-10-2009, 08:10 AM

The game is easy enough to get money why would we need lotteries. Considering the population of the town wouldnt be more than about 150 you could easily win a lottery ... unlike real life

Black_Eagle99 · 30-10-2009, 12:02 PM

Well it was just a idea, if it isn't make into a EP, I hope some genuis makes it CC!

Also, it doesn't have to be real Jaykdy82, it's a GAME!

zJacob · 30-10-2009, 01:53 PM

I think they're aware of that...
I remember the Urbz had a casino in, but that was a different game format/target audience.

That's it! Target Audience! I mean some EP's for TS2 I didn't feel were up my market, such as the "Suff" packs, I didn't like those, but some people did, so maybe they could release it as a stuff pack rather than a whole new EP, or maybe include it i a "nightlife" EP?

I didn't even think of that, they don''t need an EP just for that, stuff pack yeah, but they could merge it into a EMP such as nightlife/down town

666-Metal-666 · 30-10-2009, 05:28 PM

I like this idea, it would be good if it did happen.

Thanx for the support!

at least I know some people will like it! Thanks again dude!

tabethac · 31-10-2009, 04:02 PM

Personally I don't think it sounds like that good of an idea. Pretty boring actually. And I think it would involve too many new interactions to be a Stuff pack.

I think anything like that would tank anyway, just because no parent is going to want to buy their young teen a game that encourages gambling.

And as for CC, I think its been said that its very hard to create CC for Sims 3. Especially something that complex. That's why we don't see too much of it. Other than simple recolors.

CookstaSim · 31-10-2009, 08:08 PM

i like the lottery idea that would be cool, but not the whole las vegas gambling idea though

What's the diffence if they add "Mild gambling" refernces to the cover as well?

And besides I think there is a ratio of people greater the 18yr old who probs will buy the game compared to the other 13-15yr olds

So, in my view, it would be a cool EP if they made it with Nightlife theme!
