Look at your life, look at your choices
After watching a lot of Dan and Phil raising a Sim recently, I've discovered a latent hankering to be an overbearing parent and have downloaded the free Sims app on my tablet. So far I've created Jimothy Crumbcake and Freddie Seagull; they're only acquaintances right now, but I'm going to see if I can make them fall in love later. As you do. Here they are getting to know each other better, by way of Jimothy using the ol' buzzer in the handshake trick. He's old school.
I say, corking to see you again, old chap
That's Jimothy there in the pointy newspaper hat and yellow slippers. Suave, no? He's also an avid fisherman and just this morning was eaten by a giant fish, which eventually spat him out. Thank goodness, or my matchmaking scheme would have gone a lot sideways. Freddie likes to cook (he seems to add a ton of salt to everything without a care for his blood pressure levels, what a renegade) and lives in a studio apartment next door to Jimothy that is neither wallpapered nor furnished because their benevolent god hoards Simoleons and doesn't want to spend it on his basic needs, so he's over at Jimothy's a lot, eating his food, using his bathroom, and sleeping on his couch. Love will inevitably blossom, I'm sure.
I think this puppet master vocation quite suits me.
Besides that, because Sim tasks can take a while (for example, making either one of them go to work at the fire station takes 9 actual hours and feeding the ducks at the park 15 minutes), I find it's a good way to keep myself entertained and yet have space to write at the same time. You know, write for a few minutes, check on Sim, write a little more, make Sim clean up the dirty plate they just left on the floor, Jimothy, you slob.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted on where Jimothy and Freddie wind up -- I anticipate overwhelming popular demand for this. Yes. I'm also close to leveling up to birthing another Sim, which should make things infinitely more interesting!*
