I agree with almost all of the the previous posters. However, I occasionally worry a bit about those players who enjoy killing their sims.....

And, occasionally I get a weird sense that my Sims have a life when I'm not there! For example, rather suddenly - even those I hadn't played - they got chubby. Were they eating without me??? And, then there are the friends they've picked up....when did they do that? I wasn't there...I'm guessing the random computer chat is where that comes from but I'm always left with a weird, weird feeling that they know something I don't! Just saying....

At any rate, the sims for me has been a rather fun past time for late a night...too late to call anyone so I yell at my sims
