Please be my fortune teller little Sim! What should I do today?? In addition to the last blog I posted, players are not only known to kill off their familiy members but they are also known to put their own real life issues in the game to help them make decisions. Players have done this to see how their Sim would react and then apply it to his or her own life. Is this an easy way to make a hard decision? Sure, it seems simple enough and seems to have no harm attached to it but is it really a good thing to depend on? Should a fictional game in which I created everything make my life this much easier?
So, if I make a Sim who is just like me in everyway possible in the game and I have a real life choice today of cleaning my house (that needs it badly) or watching television, should I have my Sim make up my mind for me? Well, let’s give it a try. I will have my Sim watch television… Not very productive and nothing is accomplished in the end but now I know. *~*Lesson 1: Watching television is fun but the house is still a mess.*~* So the next night in my Sim’s world, I have her clean the house, which is now worse than yesterday because I had my Sim wait until the next night. *~*Lesson 2: A messy house can and will get messier tomorrow.*~* So now my Sim is cleaning the house… Things are getting accomplished but, oh, what’s that? My Sim is getting bored? She wants entertainment? Well so do I my little Sim, but my house now needs cleaned even more than yours does because I just wasted an hour waiting and watching how you would react to the choices I should have made on my own today. *~*Lesson 3: I should just think for myself from now on!!!*~*
