No, no. I much prefer the competitor's game, productivity.

Amen...
When I first got The Sims, I was so hooked that I was playing it for hours on end...lol So much time down the drain... I won't call it a waste, because it was entertaining... But it was a lot of lost time due to that game...lol | |
I bought the Sims, and sold it on Ebay when I realized that I was wasting my time doing what I was doing anyway, spending too much time around the house. You have to admit, it's pretty pathetic to be spending too much time around the house playing a game about spending too much time around the house.
Turns out I'd rather have the 20 bucks. | |
Even worse is helping a little digital guy/girl get over his/her problems when you got problems of your own!

Pretty much...lol
But playing the game was fun for me in those first few days... I got it from one of my dorm mates back in my college days (albeit how few those were...lol) Anyways, we all had a copy, and were competing against each other to build the coolest house and have the coolest "life"... One roommate had a wife (a blonde he named Rebecca Romijn...lol) that he always had walking around his house in her bathing suit, and made her read books all day to push her skills to the limit while he went to work... Another roommate built himself a bachelor's pad with a nice patio/pool and had the neighborhood girls over all of the time... Myself...I went a bit more clever...lol The first visitor I had was Mrs. Goth... Whom I made fast friends with... And presently got slapped by her husband (who came over a bit later)... So, I decided to steal her from him...lol So, over the course of the next few days, I invited her over constantly... Building up our relationship to the point of love... But, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get her to agree to marry me...lol I had to get rid of the husband... So, I switched control of my house for control of the Goth residence... And I began making Mr Goth's life a living hell...lol I eventually trapped him in the corner of his kitchen with a large table and a trashcan...lol He suffered starving, dirty, uncomfortable, and in a puddle...lol With the occasional ghost from the nearby cemetary scaring him out of his wits...lol The ironic part was that I trapped him right next to the phone... So he was able to call out for a pizza to try to save himself... Too bad his wife and kid got to it first and ate it in front of him...lol So, Mr. Goth died a horrible death (after holding on for WAY too long...lol) and I set his house back to normal... Unfortunately, everytime his wife passed by his urn, she would cry... That wasted so much of her time, and made her so miserable, that I simply sold the thing off...lol I put her back on her feet, and set my sights on getting rid of the kid... That was a lot easier than getting rid of the old man... Just prevent her from going to school for a few days, and she got shipped off to military school... So, the wife was all alone... And who could console her? Why, that's where I stepped in...lol So, I went back to my house, invited the widow over, made sure everything was perfect, and proposed... She said yes, and I now had a wife, and a TON of money that her dead husband had left her... My house became a lot bigger, and much better looking... She was a big help... She was able to get up earlier than I had to, and get my breakfast ready for me so I could get to work on time... And life went on very nicely... But I began to get bored of her...lol So, I created a new girl in the neighborhood... A nice blonde... So, she began to come over... At first, they hated each other... Especially the few times when my wife caught me flirting with this new girl... But I managed to start a successful affair, and eventually got the new girl to marry me as well... I now had two wives...lol I favored the new wife greatly over the old, so I allowed her to get a job, and left the old wife home alone all day to work basically as a live-in maid... She cooked, cleaned, watered plants, and slept in a cot in our bedroom, while I and the new wife slept in the big bed...lol And life was good... If not a bit dysfunctional...lol But then things took a strange turn... My old wife and my new wife began to become friendlier... And eventually, due to my neglect of the two of them, they ended up with a better relationship than I had with either of them...which led to them dreaming about each other, and ultimately kicking me out of the big bed, and sleeping together...lol I guess it serves me right... But damn that's ntertaining! lol See what kind of fun you can have with this game? It's not just about living a mundane "Groundhog's Day" type of life... You can do all kinds of twisted and fun things...lol But after the novelty wore off, my main attraction to the game became the architectural and home design aspects... It's really fun to just build a cool house and make it look good... Like building your own virtual dream home... | |
But after the novelty wore off, my main attraction to the game became the architectural and home design aspects... It's really fun to just build a cool house and make it look good... Like building your own virtual dream home... My main attraction to the game was always downloading as much new, cloathing, and heads as possible. That was before I had Cable. I spent more time downloading stuff than I ever did looking at it. However, I did download quite a few very nice plants as well, and made some terrific gardens around my houses. But the one thing, above all else, that made me get rid of the game was that there was absolutely no way in existence, including cheat codes, to get rid of those darn stinkin' bills! I tried fencing in the house, building moats around it, trapping the repo-men, everything. In the end, the last resort was to delete the mailbox and download a teleporter that fit conveniently in the living room and allowed me to zap in friends whenever I wanted them (including friends that didn't live in the neighborhood!) Its sister teleporter allowed me to zap them back out. That, though, was a bit odd. | |
