Boring Sims 2

The time has come to admit to myself that The Sims 2 no longer holds my interest.  After 6 or so years of playing the game, I think I have played out just about every scenario possible and I don’t want to play any more.  Of course, there’s always TS3 (The Sims 3) coming out in February of 2009, but of course there will be no cheats or cool custom content for the first few months; and what fun is that — playing without the benefit of enhancements?

Maxis may think they made the game completely customizable, but the fact is, no, they did not.  Shame on you, Maxis!  We pay enough for these games — we should have whatever our little ole hearts desire in the matter.

In the interim, I guess I’ll have to keep playing Pogo, and occasionally experiment with the Sims I have.  I was thinking the other day that I’ve turned into a quasi Sims Behaviorist.  Yup.  I can probably tell you how Sims will react to given situations, depending on the type of Sim, almost every time without erring.

And that, is just to damned pathetic.

A So-So Week

That stupid builder from Stone Ranch never got back with us in time, so we weren’t able to go look at houses this weekend.  We did contact a realtor who will go with us next weekend.  Our standards have had to come down a bit because apparently builders built so many houses that they are now having a difficult time getting rid of them.  Therefore, nobody is interested in building us a home.  We’ve decided that we’ll take a standing one, and maybe we can get close enough to what we want that we will be able to make the last modifications to floor plan, etc. ourselves.  Shit, me may even have to go to a one story which will really depress me.  I hate one story houses.  Too monotnous for me.

On The Sims Front. . .

My neighborhood is becoming a bit congested.  In the London household alone, I had 8 Sims and a pregnant one at that.  I thought since Brandi was so close to dying, that the pregnancy was allowed by the game, but Brandi is still here and so is the new baby making a household total of 9.  The game only allows you 8 per household.  Hmm.  I’m not complaining, I’ve always thought the 8 Sim limit was stupid, especially if your system could withstand more.

On The Pogo Front. . .

I hit 23 million today, woohoo!

I really, really need a life.
