when it was my first time playing the game, I'd put in David Tennant (Doctor Who), his Aspiration was Popularity since he is an Actor, in the game, the I'd put the other stars. His wants was a party, so I gave him one, it rated good. Later he needed a shower, so I controlled him to it, but I didn't pay attention to energy score bar (motive), he ended up falling asleep, NAKED!

Every time I make a sim, when he or she is hungry, his or her cooker gets on fire.
A sim waves for need, like if I'm thier God. On Sims 1 (my brother used to have it), if a sim, needs something, like a toilet, he or she waves the hand in air, shouts for it, if needs the toilet badly, is hungry, needs to sleep ect it was difficult because he or she doesn't do it automatically, he or she ends up wetting the floor, pass out, eventually dies. Sims 2, a Sim does the needs automatically, like it cooks without the player controlling it.
The sims (not the game, the creature) are idiots. Will Wright admitted Sims 1 creatures were dumber than
ants.
Believe me, ants aren't stupid. I should know, I did a project on them.
