The Sims Sanity

Submitted by Anthony Profit

I had a job in Baghdad during OIF II that didn't require me to leave the slightly safer AO of the FOB. However, that job did require 13 hours of my time every single day and after a while, it became very redundant. My section was comprised of 16 people and after spending a few months with those same people every day in such close quarters, we began to get annoyed with each other. Enter, The Sims 2. I was already a fan of the original Sims games for the PC, but when The Sims 2 came out in September of 2005, I had to have it. For those of you not familiar with The Sims, it's a game where you create someone or a family and you basically play God over them. You build them a house, get them a job, and watch them live from day to day. Well, I created all 16 of us in my Sims game and we all watched ourselves interact with each other in the game like it was a movie. I think it really kept us sane (and from killing each other).

I bought the Sims2 game for me when one of my friends told me about the game. Since buying the game, I have only played the game about four times. The game is now under the control of my daughter. In addition, I have purchased all of new versions of the Sims games. The game is a very good tool because it teaches a child about life in many ways. The game is so advance that it has a Website, where one can go on line to create your own storyline and download other Sims characters.

I'm an addict I LOVE THE SIMS 2 It's fabulous. I was hooked on one but 2 is out of control It's so interactive. Not only do you become involved but the interactions between the Sims themselves and playing each family is different. Never mind the creative aspect of creating whole towns. I could go on and on but as sims fans you already know.

I have played this game for a while now. I've made myself, my roommate, my roommates kids, my boyfriend. LOL This is a great game to waste time and such. Glad to know that it's keeping your time occupied! I know that I play mine at work as well.

That's good that you guys play in a family matter, but to release some aggression you guys should play command and conquer, there's a new one comming out too on March.Playing with other poeple is the best part if you have a LAN line.
