Good Evening -
Tim's away for the evening. So I'm home trying to figure out how to entertain myself. The boys had library day today, so they are watching a science video. I could surf the web. I could go around and read all the posts that I've missed for the past two days.
But, i think I'll play SIMS. I haven't played in a while, but I have figured out how to make the game more interesting for me. There is a way (is it a cheat?) to make your SIM more or less autonomous. So I created a neighborhood in which each of the characters have free will. Whooo Hoooo. No more nice deterministic diety. Oh, no. There is no Godlike intrusion upon their natural tendencies to do whatever they want. I've had a couple houses burn down, and not everyone can keep a job. One guys' wife walked out on him because he was a major slob. It's amazing what all trouble they get into when I leave them alone.
And if you haven't heard, there is a new SIMS module due out later this month (SIMS Unleashed.) I'm looking forward to this one. The primary innovation is that the SIMS will be able to own pets. But, I noticed in the fine print that there are five new career tracks now. Natasha Simdilius will have her chance to see how she likes being a SIM-Teacher. She was doing pretty well in the psychic business, but she's been bored for a while, and she really doesn't like all these people depending on her to make their lives wonderful with her on target advice.
If you are interested in reading the blurb about the new module, they describe it HERE. With any luck I'll have it before Fugitive comes to visit so she and I can explore it together.

I have no idea what SIM is, but I expect I am better off not knowing. I don't need anything else to take up my time on the computer.
Ahhh! Not even in SIM land can I escape the little darrlings. Actually, this'll be great because whatever she does with the kids? Lemme know, so I can mimic it. Hey, I'll blame it on the SIMS, right?
Perhaps I need to get me one of those games, as Roberto is perpetually away in the evenings, and I can create a Tim and Terri Simmius or some such.
I just don't want to know. I haven't played Fugitive's Sim in a while, I got tired of watching my guy not do much. Maybe I should give him back some free will. Oh, well. Maybe not, I have a hard enough time getting him to do what is good for him now. If I give him the option to say "no", he'd be eating from the tree of good and knowledge before I could shut the system down.
its SIMS you like computer games too. hmm...
I bought SIMCity 3000 last summer and had trouble using it
I should give it a try again sometime! Spot
I am so addicted to SIMS... My whole family is! LOL... I am constantly downloading new items. I really only like to build.. But I do have one favorite family.
Well looks like I need to check this "SIMS" thing out. I have never heard of it.
hmm... just downloaded the Sims, and my kids love it... am not quite sure what you can/can't do yet, but there is a lot of kissing going on
Wwooo HHooooo!!!!! More SIMS!!!
God Bless - Dale
