Default Simulate a War in Sims 3
So Im curently an inspirational version Test of Time Challenge (i dont follow the rules) and now in Roman stage. But unlike the orginal ToT rules Ive sims representing different empire - Han Dynasty, Persia, Rome/Greek, Europe and Native Indians which I loosely take inspiration of what happened during ancient time, with fictional sims characters.

Currently Im trying to simulate a war between Rome and Persia Sims that inspired by the historical event that happen during Alexander the Great as I trying to reduce the population by having my athletic males compete with eachother. I have roughly 14 sims that fit this scenario half from each empire so I probably will go slow with the killing.

Sims dies from other causes too in my game such as childbirth and random death rolls but I seems to always have more males than females.

But I wonder, Has anybody else played a war based world in Sims3? (Of course it could be of any era or fantasy). Im debating how to simulate this "battle" but thinking of just simplify it and use a randomizer list and pick the ones on the bottom list but Im not sure.

The war in Ukraine. The Middle East is a nightmare. I am a total pacifist. So I have never played a war and never want to. I want Sims to be an escape from much of what is in the real world, and even more so now than in the past for many reasons. Set up some matches in martial arts maybe, but other than that I have no ideas about this.

No war stories, although my husband and father have a few! Anyway... only way I can think to "SIM-ulate" (get it?) that might be to use Nraas MC or maybe it's SP, to allow a bunch of Sims in one house so you can control them all to fight each other. I doubt EA ever planned for Sims to be a war game since they make others of that genre.

If you just want to kill off a few Sims, Nraas Dexter the Bear (might be Ani's) and a few mods here on MTS let you commit redrum.

Shiny, happy people make me puke!

If you wanted to kinda simulate a missile strike and have the Ambitions EP, you could use the Disasters and Blessings mod to summon a meteor strike. Although, I don't think this is too useful for your case, as missiles did not exist in Roman times (unless they somehow invented missiles in your save).

Yeah, I think I will stick to killing sims manuelly with Nraas debug and using random generator. I also has the dexter mod but it makes everyone on the lot enemis .

I kind of ditched the world war and now only playing Roman world. So there is only gladiators which I assign to athletic poor sims (each sim has a social class which i assign by giving each sim a color scheme for clothes) and move them to a lot where i will have them fight eachother (maybe making them all enemies with Dexter mod might be a good idea ). There is a career on here which I use.

With simulating i was thinking of mods and random rolls. I know the game doesnt has this as a thing on TS3. TS2 did has a few challenges involving war where you use a dice.

I miss the mod on TS2 where you can put sims in a prison so they dont run around the town. But i dont think thats possible on TS3 because its an open world.

Inge from Simlogical made a playable prison-mod. (I don’t use it myself so lm not sure if it’s up to date, but Inge is a brilliant moder so it’s might be worth a try.)

i saw on that link they dont reccomend to install it on serious games so I think I will wait. It says its not fully tested.

But i love Inge mods when I played the sims 2.
