I just read Alice and Kev... and cried at the end! I'm going to have to buy this game.

Sims was an obsession of mine as a kid.

There is cheat code to prevent them from aging or turn adults into kids again. Yeah, I feel kinda bad for them when I see people killing them off too. I accidently killed mine all the time when I first started playing because I didn't know you were supposed to put up a smoke alarm in the kitchen. My sims would try to make dinner and eventualy set the kitchen on fire. Instead of running outside or calling the fire department they just stood in the kitchen screaming and panicking. I never had that problem once I started putting smoke dectors in the kitchen. Maybe I should have payed more attention to my grade school fire safety lectures. If you have University, you can bring dead sims back to life.

In Sims 3, you can just turn off ageing from the options menu... if you want them to grow older, you give your sim a birthday cake.
the worst is when your sims get twins, even with one baby they're quite sluggish about it when having to ie. feed the baby or keep it from crying...

This game sounds extremely annoying.

I love the Sims 3! I can play it for hours!

Here is one of my Sims videos. This is my most viewed video.

I can't watch things suffer and die, even when they're in cartoon or pixel form...there's something about it that makes me very upset. I find this funny because I have no problem looking at photographs of say, extreme gore, or dead bodies. It's the suffering part that gets to me...I just find it upsetting. Maybe I just have a huge amount of empathy, I dunno.

Below are some more examples...mind you, I usually enjoy family guy, but the following clips are not funny to me and made me almost want to cry.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

If we program a pixel to feel, does it feel? All these advancements in artificial intelligence just so we can have characters that react appropriately when being shot at and otherwise maimed.

The thing that bothers me about the sims is how condescending it is towards humanity. My roommate plays it and all i can think while watching is that if reptillians really do exist they're making bank off these games
