People, please!
You are simply abetting and (lessee, what’s that new-age term, ah yes) empowering a debilitating illness. meyer, admitting your problem in an open forum like this is a healthy sign that it is not yet too late.
This wicked soul-stealing drug administered in the form of a game is an affront to civilized society. It makes the “Join the Crew” virus look like a minor sniffle. It will consume your life. Your free time will vanish. You will find yourself staring blearily at the clock countless times, often as the sun rises, and slinking off to bed as the harsh and revelaing light of day casts your horrible addiction open to the view of your friends and family.

Run. Run now. Before it is too late, you must cast aside this contemptible drain on your productivity. There are no little people living in your computer. You are helping no-one by wasting your life in front of the cathode-ray cathedral of evil. Your limbs will atrophy. Your brains will melt out of your ears, leaking onto your shoulders unnoticed, as you re-arrange the bloody living room furniture for the nth time. You’ll scroll through multiple screens of custom wallpaper, examine endless samples of custom floor tiles, and the windows, man, the windows!

Please. While there is still a chance, drop this clinging leech of a game before it enmeshes its slimy, insideous tentacles into your soul. Run, fast and far, while you still retain the capacity for voluntary ambulation. Kill the net connection quick, before the endless round of “just one more download” makes your harddrive explode. And above all else, don’t track down and install the nudity-censor patch, which cancels the pixellation blurring of nekkid Sims as they bathe, shower, and, um, other things. Whatever you do, don’t extract and mess with the default bathing suit *.bmp files, making all of your Sims into skinny dipping perverts! Avoid altering the default pajama skins/wireframes to advocate the sleeping in the nude of all those imaginary electronic partner-swappers! Before you know it, your poor, defenceless computer will be full of bisexual, bitching party guests, alternately kissing, fondling, screaming at, and slapping every one else in the room!
[sub]And o’course, if ye can’t figure out how to do all those wicked, naughty things by yourself, drop me a line[/sub]
Save yourself while you can! It may be too late for me, but my cautionary tale may serve as a last minute chance for you, and others like you to lead something resembling a real life.
