So what constitutes people doing something much, as opposed to nothing much? Is falling in love, having children, and so on 'nothing much'? Aren't all game characters "little fake people"? And while you can just sit back and watch your Sims like you would the people outside, that's hardly 'gameplay' you're talking about.

To each his own, I guess. If that sort of thing entertains you, then best of luck with it.

Heh, I don't play The Sims. I'm just making a point.

You're definitively right (that what i was saying in my first post about it) and here is the proof :

So...are you saying they're now targeting bikini-clad lesbians? Or suit-wearing voyeuristic perverts?

That's kind of what I was trying to say at the end of my last post. Even though I personally don't like the game or understand why other people would like the game, it's obviously doing something right. The Sims just seems to me to be a little too much work to simulate what I do all the time anyway.

Of course, the bikini-clad lesbians don't hurt. For Will Wright's next game I want to see Grand Theft Auto: Sim City.

The bed casts no shadow, but the kissin' gals' shadow has burned a hole through the carpet.... In all, that shot looks like a quirky episode from some sixties sitcom...
