<p>yeah same here, when i was like 14 or something, so yeah around the same time. I am a fan, I admit!</p>
<p>Have you ever said something embarassing in relation to The Sims (2)?</p>
<p>I read on the BBS about a teen who was talking to a friend about death (in RL*). He then went on to mention something along the lines of: "Yeah, and if you die in a platinum mood, the grim reaper comes and hula girls come out and yeah... you get a drink from the grim reaper and you get a platinum gravestone or urn."</p>
<p>Very funny. I read of another woman on the BBS who was at work and was doing a crossword puzzle with a coworker. She said: "I think my logic skills improve by 3." Of course, she was embarassed and the coworker then said something like: "Ha! Mine went up by atleast 5!" </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>I personally don't have these moments but I actually question how high my bars are for some of my relationships with people. I've had some dreams in build mode and with plumbobs.</p>
<p>*Real Life</p>
<p>LOL, those are great... ah good times. With the sims 1 i even planned out a house on paper... it was what I call the "poor success house".</p>
<p>Have you heard of the pool massacres? One girl had a pool party. All of the neighbors were invited. They swam until their deaths. Literally.</p>
<p>WHat I would do is put one person in a 5x5 house, no wallpaper, no windows, no floor. BUT the comfy black recliner and the virtual reality set. There was also no oven, we would call for pizza or buy cookies everyday. The person would start out with very few basics but a lot of luxuries so they would be promoted faster and I invested most of the surplus money on paintings and things that appreciate in value.</p>
<p>EDIT: referring to the "poor success"... started out as poor but fast success! :D</p>
<p>pool massacre!!! OUCH, was that by accident, coz I sometimes kill off unwanted sims that way... :o</p>
<p>Cool. :) In TS1, when I needed money, I would just marry a rich spouse and then drown them once I had everything I needed. Yup. :D</p>
<p>Oh no I was talking about another Simmer who did it. Yeah, I do the pool thing to or sometimes, if I don't want to put them through misery, I move them out and delete them. </p>
<p>I cringed when I saw one of my starving Sims collapse into a fetal position, clutch their stomach, and die. It was sad. Then, I reloaded the game and she was alive. Joy! :)</p>
<p>Lol, Yeah that's great... or once I married a Townie.... Made 20 friends in 1 wedding :D
Problem is this 1 you have to keep alive if you wanna keep the family friends!</p>
<p>Haha! </p>
<p>I know. Did you notice how big their lips are? I don't know but the Townies seem to look more ape-like than the Maxis-made families. Did you notice there are two Ivy Copur(s)? One is black. The other is a white girl with black hair, green eyes, and purple and green clothing. </p>
<p>Yeah I play this game too much. > < </p>
<p>On a different note, I'm not a big fan of Romance Sims. They're just soo... dirty. I hate Don Lothario and that one Caliente. I was a bit sad when I found out Bella was a Romance Sim. :(</p>
<p>EDIT: TS2. I haven't played TS1 in YEARS!!!!</p>
<p>Talking about TS1 or 2?</p>
<p>Yeah I know, Romance SIms are soooo horny. You give em a public woohoo and they want a public woohoo with 3 diffferent people!</p>
<p>Ah ok! Yeah they do look more ape-like, I think it's coz they randomise their features, and that's what comes out. They are sooo ugly sometimes, with huge bell like noses and fat lips and big jaws.</p>
<p>LOL!</p>
<p>You know... it seems like the popularity Sims are just there because there needed to be another aspiration thing. I find them kinda useless. What do you think?</p>
<p>Do your Sims ever whistle for the 'ugly' Sims?</p>
<p>I agree. In fact I've never even used the popularity aspiration, that's how pointless I find it! You know one of the things I love about TS2 about 1 is that you don't need as many friends early on in your career, unlike TS1 where you needed like 1 more friend for every 2 promotions and some workers needed 14 friends by the end of the professional ladder.</p>
<p>Hmmmm never noticed the whistling, I think you're probably just more observative than I am. Also, there probably is no recognition of 'ugly' and beatiful' among the sims themselves.</p>
<p>Ah, I think it matters if the Sims is fat or not.</p>
<p>Yeah the number of friends was annoying in TS1! Atleast in TS2, your friendships whither away (like flowers!) slower. It's a bit irritating when the friends keep calling and checking in. The same goes with the kids screaming and running around with their A+ grades everyday! They won't shut up. </p>
<p>What's really sweet is when the kids stop what they're doing and run out to hug their parents. I was thinking about that today and that only resulted in my stifling a few chuckles. </p>
<p>Do you notice your teens with acne?! HAHAHA! I thought it was hilarious. </p>
<p>Oh, and if your toddler knows how to walk and you leave him/her crying and throwing a tantrum, it'll sneak out. Yup.</p>
<p>The details are amazing and the humanish reality is unbelievable... The kids are a bit dorky getting so excited about their A+. i thought it was kinda cool that people would just call or friends from work would just come over, it's more realistic and easier to make and keep firends that way instead of having your own initiative everytime to call them. It is sweet that they all care about greeting each other when a family member comes home, and the automatic tucking in is cute too and the toddlers are the cutest things, I even find them cute when they throw their tantrums!</p>
<p>EDIT: Fat and thin does make a difference, you're right.</p>
