Aw, that's sweet. Though, yeah, sims don't actually need a TV - and sometimes I think we don't either. Of course, their new huge TV is probably, what, 12 inches? :P

No, they don't need a TV, but it's nice that they can have one if they want it. And yeah, the *screen* is like 12 inches, but the entire set is probably bigger than most TVs nowadays. :P

What is this... 'TV' that you speak of? Is that that thing people used to do before computers and the internet? That's so 20th century :P And the sad thing is my sims often don't get one either - you want your fun bar raised? Go stare at the same piece of art 5 times, you'll be set *eyeroll*

Anyway, this is cute, and I really look forward to these times with all the kids in the legacy :D

Haha...yeah, TV was that thing we used before computers and the internet and such. The sad part is that Nick and Steven won't actually like watching TV since they're so serious. They'd rather play chess (and they do quite frequently).

Thanks. I can't wait to show off this generation a bit more.

This was funny. It reminded me of my dad telling me stories about kids hanging around outside of another kids house to watch Howdy Doody and some other show I can't remember.

Thanks. My mom told me similar stories, except since she was the first one in the neighborhood with a TV, everyone was over her house.

Lol, of course you've got to outdo Rosalie. :)

silverbelle1220 October 15 2013, 14:35:45 UTC

Yup, Rosalie must be outdone (at somethings, anyway) at all costs.

I love the image of James and Taddy sitting together watching soaps :)

I do too, and it's totally something they would do as their wives laughed at them.
