Sims! - \*but it’ll just get you started. You’ll be sucked in, buy all six expansion sets and never leave the house again. \* Blow it on the dinner / movie combo Or two movie tickets and a CD - yeah that’s what I’d do. ---

A sex toy AND some lubricant? You’ll be spending a LOT more than $30 for that, trust me on this one. I say, just buy the lube! Or, the Pink CD… I got $50AU off my father for Giftsmas…what should I buy? I’m open to ALL suggestions. ---

I didn’t buy _Vacation_. Should I have? Is it worth it? Should I even buy _Unleashed_? Would _Unleahed_ be better with _Vacation_ or no? Is it even worth the harddrive space I so desperately need?
