No, this isn’t a pit thread. At the risk of sounding incredibly out of touch with society, I have to admit I had not heard of The Sims until I started coming here. “That sounds neat,” I thought. “I’ll give it a try.” Well, last weekend it was on sale at Target. So I bought it. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I’VE WASTED???!!!??? dang, I love this game. It’s so addictive. I can’t stand it. It’s not funny at all. Really. I have things to do, I shouldn’t be caught up in this game. I’m an adult, 27 years old. Anyway, thanks guys. I do like this game. 😛 ---

Mwahahahahah! Which edition do you have? My husband bought SimCity 2000 Deluxe (With Scurk!) 2 years ago & I was so pissed off about how much it cost I couldn’t see straight. Then I started playing it…(sigh) I _hate_ it when he’s right. Now we have SC3000, the graphics are much better and I can’t stop playing this one either. ---

Don’t feel alone. I’m hooked on “Roller Coaster Tycoon” ; not a good game for an ex-carny, though there is a small perverse pleasure in making virtual people barf (putting the ‘Fried Tentacles’ stand next to the ‘Whoa Belly!’ is just a recipe for disaster). I’ve completed 16 of 52 parks, and it’s just getting better. Sigh. Looks like I’ll have to pick up The Sims. Thanks a lot, everyone. ---

Jessica’s lost puppy has that game on his laptop. We make the people puke and don’t put enough workers to clean it up so it makes a big puke slide on the sidewalk. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ssskuggiii \* > **Jessica’s lost puppy…We make the people puke…** I can’t help that I can’t get rid of him. You know I’m trying. We have actually started just calling roller coaster tycoon “the puke game” since that is the most amusing part of it. We once found a guy whose bars for hunger thirst and nausea and need for bathroom were completely full. And he was still completely happy. We laughed for a long time at that one. That and drowning guests and purposely crashing rollercoasters to watch the explosion. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by screech-owl_ > \*\*Even better, set aside a small area (not connected to the main corridors), add trash cans, benches and lamp posts, keep an eye out for the angry people (red/purple faces). Put them in there and watch them go completely ballistic. \*\* I have to try that sometime. How do you get people mad? ---

[Aside] > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by hypergirl \* > \*\* > > > [@](#): > > > > …I have to try that sometime. How do you get people mad? \*\* 1. Long walks to the bathrooms, food stands, and rides. 2. Jack up prices for rides, food and souvenirs. 3. Expensive entrance fee. 4. Long queue lines. 5. Sappy non-exciting rides. 6. Don’t water the plants. They die in fun shades of gray and look really ugly (but great landscaping for the ‘Haunted House’ area). Do this and you’ll get the "Worst Value Park’ Award. [/Aside] I am going out this morning to pick up “The Sims” and “SimCity Theme Park”, just to see what all the “SimFuss” is all about. ---
