Sims has always been garbage in my book. Oooo, checking my mail box, how thrilling, wish I could do that in real life! Oh wait.

You don't know how to play The Sims! :P You're supposed to set up dramatic scenes, crush relationships, lie to your friends.. That's what I do in The Sims anyway.

Exactly! And then you're supposed to drown everyone in the swimming pool, which is why this new game is so frustrating! xD

Nah, you're supposed to import your friends, invite them over and lock them in a room without doors, add hay bales and fireworks inside to play with. Then send the pictures. Pool takes too long.

It's been over 10 years since I last played it. Last time was with my wife (then engaged), we made a kid in game to see what it would look like. However the kid decided to change a lightbulb, electrocuted itself and died. My wife never wanted to play the sims again.
