I play the Sims whenever I have time, which is not often these days. I had the original version all the way through "Makin' Magic," and I loved the Sims 2 when things moved into 3D and you could have generations that grew up and died off. Now I have the Sims 3 and I love it, with some reservations. It's a bit harder to kill off your Sims now, because they are so much more self-directed. (Plus, they gave them the intelligence and animation to get out of the pool by themselves, so you can't drown your Sims by just taking away the ladder!) You pretty much have to starve them by removing all refrigerators or walling them up in a room with no doors.
Still, this video--more reminiscient of the Sims 2--is hilarious for those of us who have played the game. Yes, the Sims can be just this stupid. It's lying to you--you have to watch it on YouTube. It won't let me embed it. Still, watch it. It's funny.
Another thing that makes me love the Sims 3 a bit less: it's not as easy or intuitive to share pictures and stories of your Sims as it was with Sims 2. There's more work involved. That's why I haven't done it. Otherwise, I'd be inflicting my families on all of you a lot more often.
Gods, I love this stupid game.
Ha, I was thinking of writing about the Sims, too. I was going to say how it gives me ideas for characters by having to choose the traits and clothes, etc.
