I'm the monster that screams.

dolariI have a copy of the Sims 2. I really dig it...I like helping these little guys through their days, trying to fulfill their wishes and make 'em happy and successful.
A lot of times, personally, though, I feel I give them too much. Make it too easy. Sometimes, I feel like I'm one of those Sims and the player on the other end of my screen is just purposely hitting all my "fears" and keeping me from my "wants" on purpose.
I decided to try that with a Sim. I was feeling angry, and I wanted to just lay into someone like I'd often feel like I was laid into. I made her sweet and nice and outgoing, but denied her everything she wanted and her needs were only fulfilled once they became emergencies.
It lasted all of a half day. While she made tons of friends, she lived alone in a cheap house with a card table and spent most of her time staring out windows and eating. After the evening...I couldn't do it anymore. It hit too close to home. I guess I'm not cut out to be an evil god.
