Speaking of the Sims, I'd like a version of the Sims that was less grindy to play and not as horribly expensive.

DF No Idea.

A game set in a location where it's large enough for there to be multiple extremely-distant spawn points. When you play through the first time, you're doomed and can't progress to the end, so you need to solve as many puzzles as possible and then die.

However, your next playthrough as a different character will happen concurrently with the events of your first. The puzzles that you solved as that first character will open doors for a limited amount of time on your playthrough on about the same time scale, so you need to rush to make it to the door at the same time your other character opens it.

Unreal Tournament 3 has a mod called Prometheus that does exactly this.

Right now I want a game where I can build things like in Dwarf Fortress but without having to micromanage a ton of units and with being able to customize how my character looks in the style of The Sims. If anyone knows of such a game please let me know.

Tropico 3?

It sounds fun but my computer cannot play it.

It's not that great. Try Pirate Cove instead.

Please provide a link to this as well as the system requirements, otherwise I'm going to assume you are either trying to sell me on the Pirate Cove boardgame or the Pirate Cove flash game.

Tropico 2: Pirate Cove, silly.

I think I might like the original Tropico better as I'm not too big on the whole pirate thing. Then again I was kind of thinking on a smaller scale that as far as I can tell has only been met by Haven and Hearth and UnReal World from what I've seen. I don't want to play either of those games.

It's not as in your face as most pirate games are. You hardly notice. It really is a great game. And it's made by Maxis after all.

A game that is exactly as hard as Battletoads, but a first-person shooter. I'm starving for a super-difficult FPS game lately.

Hard in what way?

Fast-paced, tough enemies and a wide variety of obstacles requiring constant attention to the environment. Not quite as much memorization as Battletoads though.

EDIT:

Just realized, a better way to describe it would be like the encounter with the Black Ops in Half-Life. Very fast enemies that run, shoot and run again, jumping all over the place in a big maze-like arena while you have to chase them around on the ground like a loser. That'd be one of the earlier levels in this hypothetical game.

I remember a flash game that had a similar concept. You couldn't finish the level with one life, so you used your dead bodies to progress (as platforms, to trigger a switch, etc).

There's more than one with that premise.

i saw something like that at armorgames.
