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.

Date: 2007-08-24 02:23 am (UTC)1) Makes a house. *downloads a gig of random crap to put in the house, cause the build system sucks in Sims* Makes it perfect but HUGE, so the Sims hate it anyway. This takes like a day.
2) Customizes the shit out of the avatars, spends two days on avatar customization.
3) Puts "family" in. Puts "free will" on. **2 hours pass, and the Sims are still putting their mail out on the lawn and putting their trash on the floor, despite repeated attempts to get them to do the contrary*
4) Get angry at the Sims for being little retards and uninstall the game.
Me=no maternal instinct, and no godmod instinct apparently...
