what the sims has taught or retaught you about life

[crybug]

always have a smoke alarm in your house
having a baby will NOT help with your career
if you're about to get a promotion don't do anything stupid to screw it up
a little money can go a long way
good friends can get you that coner office
if you prepare yourself early its a lot easier later
its good to have a burglar alarm its even better to have a cop that knows how to beat up a burglar

how about you?

[surprised_by_witches]

Don't lick your plate
Always wash your hands
Don't have more kids than you can handle
If you want to cheat, make sure you don't get caught
Hiring a nanny should be a last resort
If you don't know how to fix it, don't stick a screwdriver in it
Aliens are our friends

And, I am addicted to a video game.

:D

There really is a god. Her name is Sacharissa. Do NOT make her mad, or you may find yourself the victim of an unfortunate "freak" accident. :mad: Alternately, if you please her, you may find yourself living the life of your dreams! :D

The grass is always greener when you're in build mode

Custom-made art really can make you feel better!

Relocating your family can screw up your relationships :p

Chair: $255
Cabinets: $400
Bed: $1200

.....Seeing someone too stupid to walk around the newspaper? Priceless :)

Just my take on it ;)

[Shintoga]

You don't need a University Degree to be an architect :D
You can use enemies to gain more friends for Promotion, if you live with them :o
You too can get revenge, with this ravenous, man eating Cow Plant!
Sometimes pixel people are smarter than real ones... :p

Babies are fireproof.
You could ACTUALLY sell your family member's tombstone without feeling mean :eek:

And make a profit on it, no less! :D

[Lynet]

If you exercise and eat right you live longer. :rolleyes: (I think I already knew that :o )

If you work and study hard you will achieve your lifetime goals and get a prettier tombstone. (Meaning, you can take it with you. :D )

[sims2]

This is a really interesting thread:)
well i have noticed over having children...it is very hard work...they try doing so many things like a real person would do but that is hard with a child LOL! cleaning...responsibilities are definitely the way of teaching us in life though....its such a realistic game:)

[suitemichelle]

LOL I was thinking that too!! Hahaha :p

I thought I had missed something lol.

[sims2]

I'm afriad i dont get that LOL!:)

[suitemichelle]

only that you can shop til you drop... shoes included. and you can never have enough shoes.

[surprised_by_witches]

I know I don't.

I wish the sims could choose shoes to go with outfits but I suppose that would hog game space. Still, sometimes I really like an outfit but hate the shoes that go with it ...

Back on topic ...

Counterfeiting is a bad idea
Playing pool is extremely exciting
Maids do a better job if you tip them

[Jiko]

Rich people live better, live happier, live longer. It's just the way it is.

That sleeping is very good for you...
(for if not, you will pass out eventually... either standing or while eating your food... the latter of which I have experienced personally... :embarrassed: )

i'v learned that know matter how many times i say "crt+shift+c" a cheat menu will not show up in life or in game :(

and i learned 20k is impossible to buy a lot house and funiter on

(considering my cheat menu doesnt work to give them some extra ash) :(

[suitemichelle]

[krazzy kezzy]

Quitting a job is so much easier on Sims 2 than in real life. I just quit my job IRL.

Along those same lines...finding a job is sooooooo much easier on Sims2. I got laid off 2 weeks ago and haven't found one yet.

Genetics is, in fact, a very simple subject.
