For anyone not aware of The Sims it is a game in which you control the lives of a number of Simoleans, who are either happy or unhappy depending upon a number of factors. The Sims can work, have relationships with one another etc. Their happiness is determined by how Hungry they are (hunger), how much energy they have (energy), how hygienic they are (hygiene), how much social activity they are involved in (social), how comfy they are (comfort), how much they need the toilet (bladder), how much fun they are having (fun) and how much they like their surroundings (room).
I'm going to evaluate my current situation using this model and allocating a percentage to each, then I'm going to take an average to discover if I'd be a happy Sim. Just a bit of fun really. I don't really expect to learn anything from it, but you never know.
Hunger: 70% Just had a bite before training this morning, but am feeling okay right now.
Energy: 35% Couldn't sleep much last night, am pretty tired.
Hygiene: 80% Fresh out of the bath after training, but dressing gown could do with being washed.
Social: 90% Pretty good socially. Maybe a little too good though . .
Comfort: 80% I love my leather office chair :).
Bladder: 90% Couldn't go right now, even if my life depended on it (which it doesn't)
Fun: 65% I guess I'm okay right now,
Room: 60% Office room needs a good cleanout. If only I had the number of a good maid.
Average : 71 1/4 %
In The Sims the happiness scale has eight bars, anything below 50% would be on the sad side, anything above would be on the happy side.
0% - 12.5% wretched
12.5% - 25% miserable
25% - 37.5% fairly unhappy
37.5% - 50% a bit down
50% - 62.5% a bit up
62.5% - 75% happy
75% - 87.5% ecstatic
87.5% - 100% delirious
So, I guess that makes me happy. Things could be a bit better, but they could be a lot worse.
Have a go, it's just a bit of fun after all :)

really? My mistake then. Sounds more like a nationality to me than a currency.
Maybe it'll teach me to have less techno joy and read the manual once in a while : )

Simileans is the currency used in the game, not the name of the species of the characters. Anyways, inventive post, congrats.
