I want to be in ladyhaus but I don't really know how the sim personalisation thingy works as I've never played it. Can I have a puppy? Are all sims white? Or is yours the one where you can be something supernatural cos that would be cool. I want a chill job that actually allows me to eat and sleep and wear fun clothes. Is puppy wrangling a job? I want this job.
If you want to get into Sims, it's pretty fun but can be addictive. You should be able to pick up Sims 2 and a couple of packs (including Pets for pets and Apartment Life for witches :iiam:) for super cheap since it's been out forever. Sims 3 is also an option, but Sims 2 people look better out of the box, the game has way more custom content, and graphics haven't aged too badly imo (especially with cc).

Sims come in different races for sure. There are 4 different default skintones but you can add a much wider range, including paler, darker, and all kinds of undertones. Features are controlled when creating a face, plus there's cc applied as "makeup" to make changes as small as different eyelids, freckles, etc. You can also download a ton of different clothes and furniture, and all of this custom content is community-created and free. It's stupidly addictive creating all these realistic barbies with the best wardrobes and interior design, and that's before you even start playing.

In conclusion, it looks like I'll be breaking out my copy this weekend.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

pshh play with your friends in xcom. nothing like seeing your roomate's cousin get beaten to death by a giant monster as her best friend watches helplessly and its all your fault.

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

The lone and level sands stretch far away

Kinda weirded out by how much sim me resembles me in this shrunk-down computer created photo. I'm even standing where I'd be standing in the back, hiding behind everyone else.

in other news, my workplace was sponsored by a stationery company for a recent exhibition. the company donated an absurd number of pens. there were way too many to be used up on the night, so i've just inherited about 200 marker pens in varying colours and now have to figure out what to create with them

It sounds tempting, but the last thing I need is an addictive game. I barely have time to eat or sleep at the moment, and I keep getting a game, playing it for 2 hours some weekend, then not having time to play any games again for another month or so by which time I have forgotten what I was doing and have to start over.

Ok, for my sim I want to wear awesome clothes since I have a closet full of great stuff I never get to wear since I rarely have time to go out in the world any more. Also having some kind of chill puppy wrangling job or exotic crazy job that never requires going near a hospital. Traits: overworked, obsessive, cyclist, puppies (these are totally traits). I don't know what else I need to put. I am bad at sims.

Actually I want to get this game and become addicted and quit my job and play dress up all day instead of going back to work in a few hours. Thanks Anne! :v:

I ended up playing a different house in the sims. i am sorry, I just wanted to get used to some of the features- back to you guys next time~.

But, also, i was watching a little sim play little sim computer games on her little sim pc at 3am, and i look at my clock and it's 3am, and here I am sitting here playing computer games, and i look up the sky and think... is it me? am I the sim?

I'm in brisbane, unfortunately. I could try just drawing stuff but I am a bad artist and also I just have a thing for getting free stuff.

Guys I said I'd go meet my bf and his friends downtown but I'd have to put on a shirt and get up and go outside. But if I don't go I have to make myself do my week 1 readings probably.

Why can't I not wear a shirt. This is unfair.
