Addictive little computer game

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News - Homefront Preparations : One Thread

Well, after putting together two 2000 piece puzzles and one 1000 piece, doing logic puzzles until I was cross-eyed, I became very bored during my couple of weeks of sitting around and not moving.

My husband had wanted a computer game for Christmas called The Sims. I had purchased it for him in November. Well, he finally turned me onto the game. I haven't been bored since. You can simulate a lot in this little game. WARNING!!! This game can be very addictive! Now that I'm working from home this week, I find myself wanting the work day to be over so that I can SIM for a while. There are tons of fan sites out there, as well as utilities to help you customize your SIM world.

If you ever find yourself being down and out for a bit, give this game a try as it will keep you busy and not bored for hours (weeks/months - don't know about years yet).

Brooks,

I'm toying with the idea of setting up a "Currents" sort of neighborhood. It might be funny to see how we all interact in a simulated real life.

!!! But I'm real, Apoc, and you're welcome to visit if you ever make it out to Columbus. I admit to not having a life, sometimes, but a simulated RL? Ah, man . . . . . . . .

And, yes, I've been exposed to SIMing. You're right. It is addictive. (:

You know how to give your sims extra money? I like to make them fabulously rich, build them a fantastic house, fill it up with compatible sims, and then let them live. (I wish someone would do that for me ... ) I check on them periodically to make sure they're ok or to see if they had a baby. I wish I had the same type of sims mules and sim chickens. Less work.
