You killed Bella Goth!!!. She’s such a megabitch.
If you get the vibrating bed in Livin’ Large, you can make them play in bed. It’s even funnier when someone walks in on them. 
It’s funny because no one seems to care! Or is that just in my game? All the little Sims get so jealous if their lover so much as hugs or dances with a platonic friend, but I’ve set up scenarios where, say, the wife comes home to find her husband in bed with his buddy from next door (I call this “Operation Angela Bowie”), and no one bats an eye. These are people who won’t pee in front of anyone they aren’t intimately involved with, but they’ll have sex with neighbor kids standing in the room watching!
I’m also trying to figure out the different reactions they sometimes have after sex. The giggling, teasing, and toughdown dance all seem appropriate. When they cry or need cheering up it’s sad, but still realistic. I guess I can even understand the occasional retching noises. But would anyone, no matter how lousy their lover was in bed, actually jump up and boo? That’s pretty harsh.
It’s more fun to torture them. If you confine one in a tiny dark room (2 squares) with a refrigerator, after a week or two they start sleeping about 18 hours a day, waking only to eat, wet themselves, and cry.
I played the Sims all day yesterday while I recovered from a major sore back, and I had damned blast. Some very weird stuff happened, however.
Allan and Zette (the Sims Allan and Zette) are happily living in their beautiful home with their two kids (George and Julie). All of a sudden, in addition to being in love with Allan, Zette fell in love with the neighbor lady! (Sheila). Sheila moved in and there are major jealously issues.
Something tells me that Zette and Sheila are planning on a little “swimming party” (minus the ladder) with Allan. We shall see! Either that or Sheila’s husband Joe will try wooing Allan away to his household.

Bark Simson was making his breakfast when the stove caught fire. He did what any other Sim would do…start screaming. Poor Bark forgot to buy a fire alarm! Soon HE was on fire! Poor Bark died.
Another guy, Ron Ronald, was reading his cook book when suddenly a chair caught fire! Who knew the fireplace would catch a chair on fire?! He caught fire too! Somehow he was able to walk out of the fire…! I still can’t get that to happen again.
Bark (a different one) got married and soon had a kid. They drowned in a mysterious pool.
Right now, Bill Jackson is being tortured by a clown. All he has is a radio, an espresso machine, a bar, and a (cheap) chair. How long can he survive?
My daughter forbids me to play this game any longer. She accused me of killing off all the chatacters. Which I was. I would install 3 or more stoves in the kitchen, install a pool and remove the steps, wall them in etc, make them drink stuff from the lab…I would also sabotage relationships whenever possible…Damn it was FUN.
I hear “HOT DATE” will be coming out soon.
Oh la la, “Les Diaboliques” Sims!
My weirdest death was an accident. One of the regulars on my site types like a complete moron, so the character (and the typing) is based on him:

Can one just download the Sims off of the website? Like a trial run, and then register and pay?
You guys talked me into it. After loosing a hard drive this weekend and working to replace it and recover the contents (bite me, Western Digital), I celebrated my success with a much deserved copy of The Sims.
I’ve only played a couple hours, but I had myself thoroughly amused. Poor Lola is the definition of ‘house poor’. After putting everything she had into a tranquil tract of waterfront paradise, she found herself unable to buy any food or furniture. During those first few days after moving in, she normally would pass out on the floor due to exhaustion in the evening, only to awake in a puddle of her own urine each morning.
She just managed to save enough from her job as pickpocket to buy a grill before starving to death in her backyard. If tough times build character, Lola has it in abundane, and she coped remarkably well with the ensuing grill fire. She has modestly built up her home over time, but now has big plans to increase cash flow: Mrs. Goth seems interested in moving in. Her company (and her assets) are within grasp, if only Mr. Goth weren’t around…with the drugs they have been slipping him, it may not be long.
Not that I’m aware of, but if the descriptions you’ve heard so far appeal to you, it’s worth the $$. Check E-bay for some great deals!
Jesus, this sounds like ages 18-20 of my life!
