You are right. Good on you. The Sims is rubbish. I'll stick to Championship Manager and GTA games. Kmet, you are as wrong as possible. And stop putting in '2's. This isn't MSN Messenger.
> THE SIMS IS NO WASTE!!!! I THINK ITS A GOOD GAME AND FUN UR PROBERLY 2
> BORING 2 KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too boring to know, well actually I foolishly bought the game on it's release and actually enjoyed the concept of running my own virtual family, for a day or two at least.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the sims is boring, no challenges for you to complete, no tasks for you to keep your mind occupied, just living a day to day life of some virtual incarnation of a real person. Basically it's a £30 tamagotchi (your probably too young to remember those) masquerading as a management sim.
Transport Tycoon, Startopia, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Theme Park and Casino Inc. are great, addictive management game, The sims is one interesting idea stretched out to 6 expansion packs which would have cost you in total £150. One word, Sucker.
Know if you'll excuse me I'm going to join Der Nazi in playing some real games, I've wasted enough time on the sims already.

What are you talking about? Tamagotchi's were only out about 4 years ago weren't they? I have no concept of time so it's probably closer to ten years ago.

Thinking about it it does seem like a long while since they where all the range, much before Kmet's time I suspect.
