Desert Child Gameplay

Creator:Link:Get to College by simmythesims, The Sims 4 Mod (image by @rainfelt)We were expecting to get an official Go to College expansion since The Sims 2, but sadly it was never released. We don’t lose hope, but for now this mod will do the job just as well. It was created by simmythesims in 2013 for The Sims 3 & 4 but then he retired from modding in 2015. Gladly, itasan2 came up to update the mod in December 2015 and since then he uploads frequently new updates on his.On this mod after your sim becomes a young adult or older, the sim can go to university and chose one of the three majors, Music, Fine Arts and Physical Education.

Creator:Link:No More Culling by Neia, The Sims 4 Mod (image by @rainfelt)Culling is a background game process, that runs during night hours, to remove households when the population reaches over 200.

Therefore, all them sims you haven’t interacted recently they might be removed. Very annoying right?So this mod helps you keep the households that are not favorites up to 575 and those who are they will never be culled. In addition to that, non favorite sims as a close relative can also be kept (up to 100) in a simplified state.

Moods will become hard-to-change, they will last much longer and it will take a lot of effort and multiple points of another emotion to change their current mood.In the original game as you may know, nothing affects your sims’ mood for long and once you’re familiar with the game, it will be easy to get a few points to change their mood.

From the hip-hop soundtrack to the detailed pixel art to the cyberpunk junk-heap aesthetic, the world of Desert Child is one that’s easy to just get lost in. The game sees you competing in races, walking through the streets of Mars and just trying to survive the monotony of day-to-day life. A lot of love went into this game, so it pains me to say that it isn’t very fun.

I suspect that to be the point. The game sees you competing in races, delivering pizzas and doing dirty work to make enough dosh to compete in the Grand Prix. Each day asks players to once again do the daily grind and race, race, race.

Races are side-scrolling ordeals where players must beat opponents while avoiding obstacles, managing your boost meter and gunning down the competition. There is a small variety of weapons to choose from in Desert Child, be it a pellet-shooting machine gun to a laser that hits hard, yet needs to be charged between every shot. Rivals and obstacles alike can be shot, but ammo is limited. The player must either break ammo boxes on the track or drive into a supply ship for a refill.

This side-scrolling “drive and shoot” style carries over into the game’s various odd jobs. For pizza delivery, you ride a bike and toss pizzas at pedestrians. During bounties, you focus on shooting down a target and avoid getting taken out yourself. For hacking the bank, you drive through a vaporwave datascape while destroying Greek busts of Helios. Desert Child gets a lot of mileage out of its game style, but at its core, you’re still avoiding objects and shooting at things. These mission variations feel more akin to reskins of the same thing.

Gameplay

You’ll be doing these missions a lot, by the way. Entry to the Grand Prix is $10,000, and tasks netted me around $350 if I performed well. Your pay is based on how well you do on each mission. This adds an aspect to the game where it’s wise to gravitate towards the jobs you’re best at. It then becomes a matter of how much you can tolerate doing those jobs.

The other half of Desert Child is spent wandering the streets of Mars, looking for food, fixing up your bike, buying some vinyls and just hanging out. Your walk speed is irritatingly slow, but just seeing the streets feels cozy, especially in the rain. The music in this game is pretty great too. Putting on a sweet track while just standing around and taking in the atmosphere is my favorite part of the title. This aspect of the game also adds an interesting risk-reward element: do you save some cash and let your performance slip by leaving your bike in disrepair and going hungry? Or do you go without making it to the Grand Prix that much longer and do some upkeep?

I might have enjoyed Desert Child more if they had cut the racing bits and just let you chill in this run-down city on Mars. It’s visual design and soundtrack are absolute treats. I have a feeling this is going to be a love-it or hate-it game for a lot of people. Take a look at the screenshots and check out the Cowboy Bebop-inspired launch trailer. If you think you can put up with the simple, repetitive gameplay and want to drown in the game’s aesthetic, check out Desert Child. If you’re here for a solid game, it ain’t on Mars.
