Sims 3: My favorite part so far....

[sigma7]

I've been toying with doing something of a real demo/review of Sims 3, but given the game's complexity and lineage, it eludes a simple summation. So until I get to that point, here's my favorite bit so far.

At this point I'm playing with a brother-sister household, Troo and Skye Bloo. (I enjoy the red and blue skin colors. Pity those are as exotic as it gets.) Troo aspired to become an athletic superstar, Skye wanted to ascend to the top of the medical track, and both succeeded. Every once in a while, though, while at work, certain events happen and result in a little dialog box on the right side of the screen. Skye got this one while at the hospital.



And in alt-tabbing out to run Fraps and get the screencap, the game crashed immediately after getting the cap, and I hadn't saved in a while, and just the idea of getting them back to where they were is...demoralizing, so I think I'll just start over. I guess that's why they call them the Bloos.

...you've been waiting ALL DAY to use that pun.

That's not the worst part. When a Sim's gardening, one of the pie chart options is "Tend Garden" and every time I see it I keep hearing "Empty Garden." The Sims-Elton axis has suddenly become clear.
