Create a Sim-you. Give yourself a sweet job, cool stuff, and then create a hot neighbor whom you woo and who falls head over heels for you. Posts: 7050 | Registered: Feb 2004

Apparently, giving a Sim just one level in the cooking skill also makes a huge difference to preventing fires.
A few months ago, my sister-in-law Haley was coming to stay with us. So to celebrate the occasion, I made a Sim-family of me and Heather, and then created a single Sim named Haley. When the real Haley came over, I made my Sim-Heather invite Sim-Haley to stay at the Sim-Card house as a roommate Haley found it rather amusing. I even recreated our apartment ...
Man, this is so sad.

Does anyone know the real release date ? On the site it's said that it will be the 17th, but maybe earlier for those who preordered it. I'm kind of confused about it.

Buy.com and BestBuy.com list it as the 14th, but the BestBuy in our town does not have it. Called EBGames nearby, they said tomorrow.

Geoff, I have made sims of all of my sims playing friends. A while ago, a couple broke up and it was hell trying to get their sim counterparts to part ways. I ended up building two houses on the same lot so they didn't have to actually live together.

huh? Ok.. I'm confused.... You guys are saying Fable comes out in four days... someone else says it comes out in two days... Maybe I came into this thread a day late or something... I'm picking up my copy of Fable tomorrow... SO CONFUUUUUUUSED!
And I'm with Chris... I could never get into guiding the lives of the Sims.... but with the Rosebud cheat code, I spent many many many hours building and designing houses.

The official street date is the 17th of September, but it's actually shipping today. Generally, stores will put games on the shelves the moment they get them in, in the hopes of scooping their competition. So the EBGames in my area is planning to have it available between ten and eleven tomorrow morning, which is when the truck arrives.
You can get a game on the first day if you haven't preordered it, but only if (1) you get there early, or (2) it's not the type of game that sells out its first run. In the case of The Sims 2, I'd bet on number (1) Posts: 1907 | Registered: Feb 2000

Oh, and I BELIEVE that Fable is coming out the same day. Now I'll have to torture myself over which to play first Of course, I'll be going to work right after I pick them up, so maybe I'll just try them both out on the job, and then go home to start my REAL games ...

Hopefully, Bill's already picked up our copy of Fable. He was on the way to the mall when I left.

Bethesda can't come out with another Elder Scrolls game. I haven't even gotten the previous one, much less finished with it.

I just installed my new screen (flat Hyundaï L70S 17', it's really good, my old one was nearly 10 years one, 15' and I couldn't adjust anything) and I can't wait 'till tomorrow ! If some of you have bought the game already, could you tell me how much you enjoy it and why, it would help me to be patient Posts: 3526 | Registered: Oct 2001

I wonder if they'll release it for Mac. I could play it on my laptop. Oh that just seems like such a bad idea.
I would love to get control of the SIMS software for my research actually. But all my searching has turned no ideas up as to how to do that. Does anyone know if there are any opensouce type clones?

I can't believe none of you has been here to tell your new sims stories yet ! I did a little couple with family aspiration, they had a baby called Diane, but since they didn't have any skill point or anything and taking care of the baby takes a lot of time, they are kind of poor. I guess I should have waited to get them better jobs before I make them try for a baby, but anyway... The little girl is really cute.

I bought it yesterday for Cor. I got it at Toy's "R" Expensive, right at closing time, and they seemed to have plenty, so . . .
It was like Christmas for Cor; she got up way before me, and had the game installed and running for who knows how many hours before I came down!
She's a bit OCD in how she plays. She has in the ballpark of three dozen characters she wants to create, so she's been doing nothing but creating characters all morning. She hasn't done anything else yet. Pretty impressive graphics, but the choices are pretty limited. I guess the next add-on will address that.
Now I have a new little MIDI song to hear repetitively until I hear it in my sleep . . .
Like Tom, I never found any attraction in this game at all. In fact, it rather creeps me out, to be honest. But it has been entertaining, over the years, to watch Cor play. I get to see all the neat "looky-here!" moments without wasting unholy amounts of time playing this game.
[Anyway, I really just wanted to brag that we had this . . . ]
