The Sims

Hey everyone,

I'm just curious to know if any of you have played or are playing The Sims on the computer? Everyone I know who is playing it has become addicted to it. And now that I have discovered the cheat code to obtain more money (without working) life in Simsville is so much easier. Too bad real life doesn't work that way. Anyway, I just wanted to know if I'm the only one in GC that is addicted to this game?

Soror,

I have a friend, who along with her 17 and 16 year old sons are totally addicted! I've not learned to play yet - and have not attempted to, although I did tell her that I want to learn how to play - it seems to be an interesting game.

Guilty.
I was addicted for a while, but I play only occasionally now.

The Sims came with my new computer but the wrapping is still on the case. I just can't get into it, but I have heard about its incredible popularity.

My "Sim" husband (who I created after my real boyfriend) and I just had a baby boy last night. We got into the vibrating bed and before we could get out the baby cradle appeared. The funny thing is that he came down with a minor case of depression when he saw the baby. Go figure! Today he was killed in a house fire while trying to cook himself some breakfast. Right now I'm mourning his death and looking hard for the insurance policy (lol). I'm absolutely loving this game.

Yes, I was a SIMS addict. I have not played in a few months but it was a everyday thing and I would play for hours and hours. It is fun once you set your neighborhoods up and create all your people.

I WAS addicted to this game. It is so easy to just sit down and play for hours. While, that is fine during the summer, it was not conducive to my work schedule. SO, I uninstalled all versions of the Sims and hide them

OMG, when I was in school, whenever I felt I needed a break....it was over. Its easy to lose track of time, especially when you've discovered the money cheat as mentioned above, you get caught up with buying everything, lol. I have all of the expansions except for the newest one (Superstar, I think its called). I haven't played it in awhile but once I get that new expansion, it'll be back to my old addict ways

My SIMS were so funny, I had so much drama going on it ridiculous. Did anyone’s SIM get abducted by aliens? My cousin told me about it and it happened to one of my SIMS one time. Have them keep looking in the telescope and eventually they will get beamed into space. They will just disappear for a few hours then fall back to "earth". It was too funny.

One of my SIMS had a really big party and Drew Carey showed up in a limo...LOL...the cops came and tried to make them shut the party down...other SIMS were passed out all over the place.

See, yall gonna' make me fall off the wagon and play tonight ...LOL.

I am completely and totally addicted. But once I found the cheat codes, it kinda took the fun out of it... no reason to work or enhance their skills. I ashamed to say that I had a baby on there too but I used the cheat code to delete it because it would NOT stop crying!

I am an addict too. When I first got it, I was playing everyday. Now I havent played in a long time.I mean its been about 6 months.

BUT

I didnt know there was a cheat code for the baby to disappear. It also states in the book, that if you have 13 kids, you can receive welfare. I think Imma try that, you know to see if it works. LOL!

You guys are too funny. What I want to know is there a cheat code to make the baby grow up faster? I am so SICK of this crying baby! What expansion packs do you all have?

Gina1201 · #13 07-15-2003, 10:47 PM

I have the Deluxe Edition (regular with Living Large), Vacation, Hot Date, and House Party. I usually buy them off of eBay. I just starting playing again because it was becoming a serious problem.

mela3 · #14 07-15-2003, 11:47 PM

I too, am a recovering SIMS addict. I would play it for hours on end. I didn't know about the alien abduction! Oh no. I'm about to relapse!!

I get tired of the baby too, usually I just say no when they ask you do you want to have one. I have Deluxe Edition, House Party, Hot Date, Vacation, and Unleashed....I need to get to the store and get the new one but I haven't played in awhile.
