Sim Stories

Dave: AH KITCHEN FIRE
Dave: It's ok now.
Dave: Don't be alarmed.
Goosey: Dave: O__O
Randy: Dave: yikes!
ThePhan: Dave: If you were a Sim, you'd go and stand directly in the middle of it, then wave your hands over your head screaming until you burned up and became an urn on the kitchen floor.
Dave: No, I know to run from kitchen fires. Thankfully, Carrie knows to take the burnt pot off the stove and turn it off. Then come find me running down the street.
ThePhan: LOL
Goosey: LOL LOL
Kalimeris: On my first sims game, the first time I played... I remember walking away for 5 minutes
Kalimeris: and returning to everyone crying, piles of ash EVERYWHERE
Kalimeris: 2 people dead, it was a mess.
ThePhan: Yeah, first thing you do for the Sims is get them a fire detector in that kitchen.
ThePhan: That and a trash can. Otherwise they start throwing their plates everywhere and pretty soon they can't move.
Goosey: Not very bright, are they?
goldfishy: I think if they are that stupid I would be helping them to kill themselves...
* goldfishy would be the devil rather than god it seems
Nyperold: A legitimate and common way to play.
ThePhan: goldfishy: It's kind of fun to leave them to their own devices and see what madness ensues.
Dave: The first time I ever played the Sims, I made a guy who did nothing but sit on the couch crying because he couldn't get a date.
Dave: I was like "Great, I created me." And then I never played again.
ThePhan: I created one family who I just leave alone. If they ask me to buy them something, I will, because they can't do that on their own, and I got jobs for them, but everything else was their own choice.
ThePhan: Their first choice on moving into the house was to buy a giant telescope.
ThePhan: This left no money for beds.
Goosey: LOL
Kalimeris: hahahahaha
goldfishy: Who needs a bed when you can spend all night stargazing?
Kalimeris: :-)
Randy: LOL
ThePhan: Everyone ended up just passing outside or on the floor whenever their sleep meter got too low.
ThePhan: I got them all jobs, they earned some money, I went to buy them beds... but noooo, they wanted a television instead.
Randy: LOL
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: They ended up with so many accessories and nothing useful.
Goosey: They sound almost human lol
ThePhan: They also ended up with no money to buy groceries.
ThePhan: This was because they'd bought a bar for their kitchen.
ThePhan: So their teenage son kept from starving that day by making himself about 30 mixed drinks.
goldfishy: And then died of alcohol poisoning?
ThePhan: Nope. He didn't even seem to have any impairment.
ThePhan: I was impressed.
goldfishy: Wow
goldfishy: Most people have to build up to that kinda tolerance
ThePhan: They did get their 10-year-old daughter taken away from them, though, because I forgot the game doesn't let kids make their own food and none of the adults ever made food for her on their own.
ThePhan: So social services came and took their starving daughter away, which was probably a good thing.
ThePhan: LOL ALSO
ThePhan: I forgot this was this family.
ThePhan: The teenage son, for some reason, never wanted to go to the bathroom on his own. So he'd just pee on the floor.
ThePhan: Finally he started going to the bathroom without me making him do it.
Goosey: Wow, lol
ThePhan: For the next two days, his grandfather followed him around congratulating him on not wetting his pants.
ThePhan: That is ALL the grandfather did.
Goosey: TP: That is HILARIOUS
ThePhan: Even when the kid went to sleep, the grandfather tried to wake him up to tell him this.
Dave: That's really all grandfather's are useful for.
Goosey: LOL
Dave: Probably the old guy was just so excited not to have to fall asleep in the pee again. Since they didn't have beds.
ThePhan: Dave: LOL, this is quite possibly true.
ThePhan: Sims also get WEIRD about relationships.
Randy: LOL LOL
Kalimeris: So do people.
Kalimeris: SO MANY CREEPY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD
Dave: One of the first things I did with one Sims character I made was invite a couple over. THen I secduced the woman and kicked the guy out. That was badass.
ThePhan: Dave: LOL
ThePhan: I had this one Sim family whose goal was romance, which basically means "have sex (or, as they call it in the Sim world, 'woohoo') with as many people as possible."
Randy: LOL
ThePhan: Once the chick part of this Sim family randomly invited over TWO guys she was in a relationship with.
ThePhan: They both showed up at the house. She climbed into the hot tub with one of them and they woohooed while the other one stood around casually looking at the grass or the sky.
ThePhan: She gets out of the hot tub with the guy, and proceeds to tell him a joke.
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: This makes the bystander guy super jealous, and he proceeds to yell at her, storm out, and then steal her newspaper and leave literal bags of flaming poo on her doorstep for the next week.
Dave: That's pretty awesome.
Randy: LOL
Goosey: LOL LOL LOL
Randy: I just laughed so hard I snorted
ThePhan: So apparently he's totally cool with her having sex with other guys. But telling other guys jokes crosses a line.
Kalimeris: So out of line.
Kalimeris: Love the flaming poo treatment.
goldfishy: Do they actually just sit there and yell "Wooohoooo!" and that's it?
ThePhan: goldfishy: Well, you click on the "woohoo" option and, depending where they are, they dive either under the covers or underwater and you see them floundering around for awhile giggling, and then there are fireworks.
Randy: LOL
ThePhan: Kali: It's awesome when they take revenge on former loves, because they maniacally laugh as they approach the house.
ThePhan: Flaming poo is not so common, but a lot of times they'll steal newspapers or kick over trash cans.
ThePhan: I love the speech bubbles that appear above Sims' heads that show you what they're talking about.
goldfishy: I keep thinking you're saying Sam's head
goldfishy: I was imagining him with speech bubbles
ThePhan: It's awesome when someone runs into someone's room and starts screaming at them and you discover they're apparently angry about turkey.
Randy: Sam's speech bubbles would be all camou-fairy and LaZorra Typos
Goosey: LOL
