Question

Help answer this question below.

When I first played The Sims, I started thinking of my own life in terms of the game, trying to maintain my comfort, fun, energy etc. levels. Did this game have the same effect on anyone else?

I've never played The Sims, but this question made me think of an essay by Chuck Klosterman. He has a very interesting, and funny, essay about The Sims in his book Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs.

My friend was addicted to that game, she even had a character for me. I think I want to get it..do you know if they make it for an x-box 360?

- That would require some serious gameplay alterings.. I cant imagine playing a game so heavily designed around using a mouse with a controller..

- Actually dude, the controller is better for the game than the mouse.

- Yes they do. I was referring to that when I said my first comment about the controler.

- but how? I would throw the consoller out of the window twice before being done designing a single room, it must be a pain to place the items in place when you dont have a mouse..

- I am sure people who have only played it on the play station feel the same way about using a mouse!

Yeah I still do even tho I stopped playing it. It's really weird to think about how "good" you life would be on those standers.

Chuck Klosterman's book is nothing but a waste of money. He's not funny and a loser, basically. The Sims is an addiction, though, I will admit. It's funny how you can get a Godhead complex from playing it, or even a very external image of yourself. Very interesting.

I don't know once you get used to it, you can work more than the mouse.
