OK so my mind goes off at a tangent sometimes and I started wondering about the latest food option in S2U. The Chinese takeout. Now, I can't help wondering, what is the equivalent option (offered within the game) in places like Thailand, China, Japan, Taiwan?
On a similar not I have often wondered how the game translates into other languages. British english doesn't have the exact equivalent of many Americanisms but we get by thanks to a shared cultural heritage (Hollywood and our language :p ) but even so I really do not have any idea at all what some of the terms mean exactly: "making out" for example. What the heck is it, exactly? It certainly doesn't seem to be something that a sim is shy to do in public though by all appearances it ought to be. Teen sims crumple with embarrassment when pop pinches mom's arse but they carry on blithely and ignore the most cringe-making displays of physical affection between their adult relations.
Nope, I'm sorry but I'm all at sea on this one. :rolleyes:
And as for that *!%$*!#$% kid in the animal suit who spends his time running around doing the school cheer ... well he would have been first into the foundations of the new student dorm I would have built if it weren't for the fact that I am still trying to figure out a way to build one. :p
I have my teen sweethearts, Anna and William sharing a house with Jimmy Phoenix and Ann Stacks (who lost weight even tho Jimmy fell in love with her while she was still a bit on the lardy side.) William's sister, Melissa, has just joined them and I had a good chuckle when the feds turned up to bust her for rolling out some counterfeit rhino - the cop fined her a $1000 and as they hadn't enough (as if a self-respecting student would do anything that wasn't, like urgent ... duh!) of the readies he sallied forth upstairs to confiscate a a grand's worth of property. Pity that bed was in use ... :eek::cool: ... he should've fined them 2 Gees cos then he could've had the plasma telly that William (whose a wealth sim) bought with the household's last bunch of student grant money ... it meant they were all over the place tending bar and expressing coffee to pay for the life's little luxuries like food for a few days but the sports party was like mega awesome so that's OK then I suppose .... OK I'm gone already. :squareeyed:
