I intended to continue the same RPGs as yesterday, but got swept up in The Sims 3 instead today. I never played any of the previous Sims games, but figured I should see what all the fuss is about.

I created some characters based on me and my friends, but haven’t really done much with them yet. Instead I recreated the Odd Couple, with Felix (traits of Neat, Neurotic, Frugal, Grumpy, Unflirty), and Oscar (traits of Slob, Absent Minded, Couch Potato, Charismatic, and Friendly) and mainly played around with them today. They’ve actually been getting along fairly well, even if Felix does have to do all the cleaning and fixing. Oscar is the main breadwinner though, with a fairly good journalism career so far.

I’ve tried to be as hands-off as possible since they’re supposed to have a high degree of independence in their own actions, but you have to intervene in some cases in order to ensure things get fixed, wishes get selected and fulfilled, which mode they should be in at the office, etc.
