It is required that all characters have one, and these fatal flaws range from being a chronic drunk to being blood thirsty and always wanting a fight. The traits are what you’d expect to see (friendly, loves outdoors, etc.) but the fatal flaws add a new dimension to character personalities. No longer do we just choose several personality traits, but rather just two and then a fatal flaw. The notable change in the sims editor for Sims Medieval is the traits. Feeding your sims is just as important as ever before. They can still be recoloured, which is a definite plus.

The sims medieval review full#
All clothing options are now full body costumes and outfits, so instead of manually choosing your shirt or pants, you are selecting one entire outfit. There’s a little bit less customization here than there was in The Sims 3, though. You have your body and face sliders, voice tempo, clothing selections, and character traits. When I say exactly as it was before, I mean it’s pretty much ripped straight out of the last game. Creating a sim in this game is exactly as it was in The Sims 3. It is a colourful and vibrant sort of brown, ff that even makes sense.Īfter beginning a new game from the main menu, you get to watch a clever little cinematic that tells you about the kingdom you’ll be inheriting and then, from there, you get to design your king or queen.

Music sounds like it came straight out of a renaissance fair or cheesy fantasy movie, and the usual bright and happy blue menus from the previous Sims have been replaced with a lot of brown. When you boot up Sims Medieval, you’re treated to the game’s very well put together presentation. It expands upon and introduces many features, though it also seems to take a few steps back which prevents this from being the definitive life simulation game.
The sims medieval review series#
The Sims Medieval is, in short, the most refreshing entry in the Sims series since the original game. Originally, I had no idea that this game supposedly boasted all sorts of new gameplay mechanics that drastically set it apart from its older household-themed siblings. When I first heard of The Sims Medieval, I dismissed it as another pointless installment in the Sims series that EA was endlessly milking.
