It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...
Sims 2 is pretty... interesting. heh. Yeah, that's a good word for it. There's something fiendishly clever about systematically ruining the lives of avatars whom you are charged with taking care of. And at the same time, the scenarios are almost so real its kinda wierd, but then the ghosts & bunnies show up.
I found (some) of the screenshots! I was hitting Print Screen out of habit instead, so some moments (such as child drowning) I did not get, but here goes nothing:
<b>A Tale of Two Sims...</b>
So our story begins with a happy "well off" family, the Smith family. Bob, a recently retired something or nother, and his young wife Jill, as well as their two children, whose names are not important due to their impending doom.

First things first: Drown both kids in the swimming pool.
The parents mourn for awhile, but the mother, being the cold hearted **** that she is, stops caring after a day. Hell, she finally got her tv back!
Sadly, the newly freed-of-responsibility couple begins to fight, and their relationship crumbles. The Woman spends all day sleeping and has quit going to work. The Man is forced to sleep in the bed of his recently passed away daughter because he and his wife cannot work things out.

The woman, who used to be a neat freak, has now let the house completely go. Food and plates litter the floor, attracting flies and, oddly enough, her husband. He sure loves to eat pizza picked up off the foor.

She has become a bit of a night owl, and while her husband is asleep and/or intoxicated, she has been inviting a certain friend over. A certain female friend. Things are going slowly of course, with nothing more than a friendly hug, although things got a little hot in the hot tub the other night.
This infuriates the husband of course. In a fit of rage he kicks and smashes his late daughter's dollhouse with no remorse. And since his wife has been skipping work and sleeping during the day, he's the one to answer all the phone calls, always telling her employeers that she isn't there.
<img src='http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Sims%202/a_tale_of_two_sims_04.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
The Wife came of age and passed onto the elderly stage in her life. No longer attracted to her wrinkled body, her lesbian lover-to-be became uninterested and decided to go swimming. The wife, desperate and rejected, followed in hopes of making amends.
Only after she made a horrific belly flop from the diving board did she remember that the swimming pool was still missing a ladder, and that she was doomed to die the same horrible fate as her two children.
Meanwhile, the husband, ignoring the screams of his wife, was having a wonderful conversation with the pink bunny, and had began to flirt lightly with it. After a brief leg humping (I swear this actually happened, or at least it sure looked like it did), the bunny had to get away and so it jumped in the pool. He was now doomed to die a horrible death the same as his wife and his long forgotten children.
<img src='http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Sims%202/a_tale_of_two_sims_05.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
When the smoke cleared, only the bunny stood victorious. The Grim Reaper had to pull a triple shift that day...

Yes. And it works just fine.
In fact, so well I'd swear the devs just had a variable in the code in anticipation of someone hex editing it to turn it off. :P
And where the hell does it save your screenshots to?
Erm...
Open up Search (in Windows)
Choose "Pictures, music, or video"
Uncheck the music and video boxes
Run the search (without a file name typed in, or with one if you know the name)
Look through the hundreds of pictures on the computer.
playstation or my sims did...
gamedata/objects i think it was.....it's been awhile <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I know, really. With a "hunger" need like that on the sim, why should it be wasted there when it should be in front of her on the table? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The baby is probably for after she eats; her fun rating is down too. The baby'll fix that.
You can get away with a lot when you're a social worker. No-one suspects that the social worker's going to be a bad parent, after all.
Probably fun-ish...at least for my Sister...if her computer could run it.

Fact Of The Day: Did you know you can pay for things with stamps in the UK. Since they have the queens face on them they are legal tender and MUST be accepted by law.

I'm going to pick up the sims 2 once all the parts for my new PC have arrived and are assembled.(Hopefully tomorrow <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
I was thinking of getting the CoD expansion... but after replaying through CoD this morning, I decided against it.. I'll probably find more stuff to do with sims2..
or Fable. Might get fable. Fable and sims2. Yes.
Get 8 kids, throw them into the wierdest and funkiest house in the world. And then watch them as they one by one get sent off to army school. Give them some fridges of course, but you aren't allowed to force them to do anything.
The adult version isn't as fun, because they aren't allowed to have any food, so then they just all die at the same time. Go go Grim Reaper!
I just flash an expired tube ticket in front of the guy as I board. I haven't paid for the bus service in two years.

BWAHAHAHA!
Brilliant! It's that sense of humour that makes The Sims worthwhile. When did it come out?
