Why I miss playing the Sims
So I finally got a game of Sims 2 to run on my laptop lastnight and I had forgotten how much fun that stupid game can be. This is the story of my first night playing with Jon Knight...
Jon just moved in to the neighborhood and had aspirations of being a doctor or scientist so he looked in the paper and as luck would have it there was an ad for a test subject the first day. He took the job and went to work right away. While he was at work all his neighbors came by to welcome him to the neighborhood. Also some gypsy lady danced around his house all day, presumably putting a curse on it. When he got home they were all gone so he curled up with a good book and learned some things and went to bed. The next day, Jon was getting a little lonely but didn't know anyone and since his neighbors all thought he was a dick who didn't answer the door when they came over (no one seemed to think he might have a job and be working in the middle of the day) no one was visiting. He came home and took a shower and just as the last of his clothing dropped some strange old man rushed in and started assaulting him. He shooed the man away but was shaken and had nightmares that night. By the third day he was desperate to find someone to talk to. When the papergirl dropped off his paper he rushed outside to chat but she only wanted to talk about a tip. That night when he returned from work he cried some more until he heard the sound of footsteps coming up his sidewalk but before he could answer the door this giant bunny materialized in front of him and blocked his path. He started talking to the giant creepy bunny completely oblivious to the real people trying to meet him outside. Apparently he and the missing-an-eye bunny had a lot in common since they talked well into the night. About the time his need for social interaction got full enough the pink bunny disappeared, never to be seen again. He still dreams about the bunny sometimes.
Well the next day this lady was walking down the sidewalk and he practically tackled her desperate to make a friend. They chatted for a bit and became friends. Jon thought there might be romance there in the future somewhere. That night when he tried to use his telescope, the creepy old man showed up again and made Jon cry. The next day Jon called him on the phone and they got in an argument till Jon noticed another stranger walking along his sidewalk. He rushed out to meet this guy and they seemed to have real chemistry together. So much chemistry in fact that they started kissing and hugging and tickling each other almost right away. Jon asked him out on a date and they slow-danced in the shadow of the house. Jon came on a bit strong and scared the guy away so he showered and went to bed. About 2AM the guy came back, apparently for a late-night booty call. Jon got up, happy to see his man but after they exchanged pleasantries the guy said he was tired and went home to bed. Jon, sexually frustrated, went to bed alone.
The next day Jon got a raise at work and brought home a coworker/friend. It was this lady dressed all in black with weird hair. He talked and talked and talked with her but didn't seem to have the same chemistry as he did with the guy so after a few tickle attempts failed he gave up on her and she went home. Jon also decided to buy a money tree and started growing his own money and hire a maid. The next day he had off work so he lounged about the house and tried to get in touch with the guy but he wasn't answering his phone all day. So he called and yelled at the old man some more. The next day after work and harvesting his moneys he called the guy and they decided to go on a date at the local pool. Once there they went straight to the bathroom and started making out then slowdancing. The guy seemed much more receptive to Jon's advances this time, but Jon played hard to get and left the man wanting more while he went grocery shopping and jumped in the pool for a bit. After some hot PDA action Jon asked him back to his place. Jon tried desperately to get some that night but no matter how many times he flirted, kissed, hugged, or danced with the guy he just didn't seem to be getting anywhere with the sex. Finally Jon just asked him to spend the night and Jon said he was tired and going to "bed." Jon promptly went upstairs and passed out for the night. Meanwhile the guy watched TV then played video games all night. On a trip to the bathroom, he noticed the money tree and promptly took all the money on it. It ripened again by morning and he stole all the money on it a second time. This guy was nothing more than a gold-digging whore! When Jon woke up he went downstairs and the guy made up some excuse about being tired and needing to get home. Once Jon saw all his money was gone though, he knew the truth and he was not pleased.
About this time I actually had to go to bed so I stopped there. I probably won't talking about what happens but I had a lot of fun playing and wanted to share some of the stranger things with the world at large.
