Tragic and Horrible news.... my daughter
left her SimsII running last night, and her entire Sims family died in a fire.

she is devastated. beyond reconciliation. guilt ridden. almost suicidal.

and she says she had dreams the sims were screaming for her!

is it too late?


for her, fuck the Sims.

8. People skimp when it comes to buying smoke detectors & fire alarms....
...for their sims and look what happens.

I left my SIM1 running for a few hours and came back to my home being emptied out by a burgler. Turns out I needed a burglar alarm on the back door (plus I had roaches everywhere - my sim wasn't very neat)

16. I had no idea you could even buy such things
the ammount of money you have starting off is so small, you can barely get a fridge to stave off starvation!

A virtual handbook on how to entertain yourself while torturing Sims . . .

There was a rumor that whoisalhedges started it, but it couldn't be confirmed. Personally, Kick-Ass-Bob and I still think he did it.

12. Did they fix the Sim2 so it was only man/woman relationship
My Sims in Sim1 seemed to all be attracted to the same sex. I thought it was interesting that a game for kids would show samesex couples fooling around

15. they were just setting them up for the fire
as God strikes them down and casts them into eternal damnation for their sin.

on edit: sorry, thought I was using my Freeper account, any chance to call down fire and brimstone, you know.

20. In the first version of Zoo Tycoon...
...one of your animal options is the Bigfoot. If you pair a male and a female animal together, including the Bigfoot (really just a hairy hominid), they will mate. In the case of Bigfoot, the mating is...ahem..."reverse cowgirl" style...

21. Do you download files for your SIMS
furniture, clothes, etc - get File Cop to make sure there isn't a corrupt file in the game

23. She can bring them back from the dead, I think.
According to my nephew, the expansion pack has some sort of job or magic spell or device that can resurrect dead people.

24. Yeah, but they aren't really "right" when you do that
Think Stephen King. LOL!

The item that can bring folks back from the dead is a career bonus item. (Psychic career track I think -- not sure)
