THE RULES!
[01] -- List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
[02] -- Tag seven people to do the same.
[03] -- DO NOT tag the person who tagged you

UH

1. This icon amuses me far more than it should.


2. I seriously re-use just about everything. Current project - collecting glass yogurt jars to turn into beeswax candles for Christmas presents. See also: Packrat. Serious, serious packrat.

3. I often rank my friends by Sims2 aspirations. (Me? Knowledge. Jim? Family. You?) It wastes time and amuses me no end.

4. I have a great-grandmother who died bed-bound by obesity in my genetic history. (700 lbs plus.) I also have another female ancestor who had something like 18-21 children by three different lovers (the number of children changes, based on who's account you hear).

5. I have a seriously dark sense of humor. If I told you I threw suicide into the list of choices for the day, and simply went NAH most of the time - what would you think? By the same token, farts are funny and flat tires can be hilarious. If I gotta choice, I'd rather laugh about it.

6. The way I eat fried eggs sometimes makes people stare. I truly hate removing egg yolk from plates, to the point that I will eat the whites first, and put the whole yolk into my mouth at once without breaking it. Yum. Waste not!

7. I truly, truly do not remember names. It's not getting better as I get older, either. Know you are - most definitely. Watch for it - I'll hold an entire conversation with you, on subjects we've discussed before - and then I'll say "and your name is again?"

I get to tag seven people. OH JOY. I'll pick on the newbies.

Come look over my shoulder while I'm playing and I'll give you an inservice.

Basically, there are 6: (5 in the base game, 1 got added with Nightlife)

Family
Fortune
Popularity
Romance
Knowledge
Pleasure

Family sims want kids. BADLY.
Fortune sims want anything that has to go with getting more money.
Popularity? The phone NEVER STOPS RINGING. Hello? More friends plz!
Romance - it's all about getting laid, as often and with as many as possible.
Knowledge. Eh. Read a book. Read a lot of books.
Pleasure - plays like a cross between Romance and Family, with lots of gaming.

I'm somewhere between Pleasure and Knowledge, then. :)

Pleasure sims like new experiences - and they play LOTS of games.

Ditto.

You know, I haven't had ONE of those yet.

I should. Seriously.

Romance and family, eh? I don't know. I have had a lot of pleasure sims that bounce between popularity and fortune.

I have maybe six pleasure sims, and only one seems to be interested in romance. One pleasure sim was so interested in friends only, I just switched him to popular when he was a junior in college: Alexander Goth. No kidding.

*laughs* My Alexander Goth rolled up Romance, and he has just about populated the whole town.

If you send the Pleasure sims to the gypsy for a blind date (and pay the $5,000 for the best match possible) - 9 times out of 10, they get mated with a Romance sim. But all the time they're on the date, the little "Family" related binkies and stuff pop up over their heads. Poor suckers.

Hmmm. I do have one pleasure sim who dates a lot of romance sims. So what you say may ring true.

That's pretty funny= Alexander Goth as a romance sim. I also turned Don Lothario into a popularity sim, and his no good "family" wife Kaylynn cheated on him with Daniel Pleasant. (This is what happens when you go to community lots).

I hate Daniel Pleasant. Hate, pointy stabby hate. I got even with him.

He's also populated a lot of the town (he makes really GOOD looking sims) - but most of the time, I pulled the tombstone of L & D on him. BWAHAHA.

Everyone should get as many kids out of Don Lothario as they can - they're extremely good looking, playful, loveable slobs.

How do you get him to populate the town? He'd only try for a baby with Mary Sue, whose relationship was good with him until recently, when he flirted with Kaylynn in public. I can't get married sims to reproduce with people other than their spouses.

For Don, I think I managed to get about three kids before he slipped into elderhood. I suppose I can find him a second wife, since his present one's a hussy.

boolProp commands are evil, evil things. Next time we're in the same room with my laptop, I'll be happy to demonstrate.

Unless you use the tombstone of L & D, you have to be sexing with a female to 'try for baby' -

The rest is all cheating - but terribly easy to do. It has all the attendant risks to your game, however.

But. The schadenfreude is most amusing.
