OP kill yourself with fire.

Budgeting is fun and all but the real glory of that game was house design with cheats on. What was money before rosebud??

I was close.

Know what bothers me about this game? In Sim City, the Mayor is an all-powerful dictator who can do what he wants as long as he has money and doesn't run the city into massive debt.

However, in The Sims, a Sim who works as a mayor can be fired for not showing up two days in a row. Who the fuck is firing the mayor?

The Sims gave me the impression that it was the gateway to video games for girls at the time.

Everyone's sister was playing it.

Council. Most townships reserve the right to ouster an elected official if council feels they are incapable of performing their duties.

Plus in Sim time two days is like three weeks.

My sister downloaded a shitload of add-on items from those fansites that were around at the time.

Like Seven Deadly Sims.

Also remember her uploading a photo album to the official site.

Damn it's been a long time.

There's ways around this . One thing is if you buy a phone it SHOULD already have all your neighbors in the phonebook, so you just invite them over and befriend them

Another way around it is to marry/get one of the pre-generated sims to move in because then you can get them to invite friends over and befriend them.


The Sims is kind of easy once you figure out the extremely simple mechanics.

There is so much nostalgia flooding back to me right now.

>tfw always started with the shitty white house in the lower left corner
>moved to that weird-looking "modern" house on upper left
>final move to the giant mansion that had too much space so most rooms ended up looking like copies

Fuck I loved Sims 1. I don't suppose it'd be the same if I went back and played it again now.
