      This! This is my main complaint with the Sims 4. In Sims 2 things like that just happened, in Sims 3 they did less, but it was easy to mess up your Sims’ life if you wanted to. Sims 4 is so easy, it’s literally hard to kill Sims or mess with their lives. You have to do so much in your head if you want drama, which I do because that’s just how I play the Sims lol

    Death. What can really be said about Death? Well, for one, he's a Taurus. He also enjoys long and windy walks on the beach. He describes himself as a horse lover, and prefers a lady on a pale horse to one in an overpriced SUV. But he notes that any interested parties should be gravely serious about starting new relationships, and that bringing along free friends for the other members of the apocalypse would be a preferable first date environment.

      On some level this is kinda ironic considering the original concept for the original Sims game was an architectural simulator called "Dollhouse" (name was later changed to The Sims due to Maxis execs thinking it was too feminine of a name and they'd lose too much of an audience) to be a companion piece to SimCity. The characters were originally just there to judge your builds and test the functionality of them, hence why there's a lot rating system in the first game. The direction for the game (and franchise as a whole) changed after test players expressed how much they loved playing with the characters and Maxis added a bit more to the life simulation part before the official release and expanded upon it with the expansion packs and the rest is history. It truly came full circle in the worst way

About a good 75% of the videos involved the teen pregnancy mod and an emo boyfriend followed with MCR or some other god awful Emo band whining in the background, the boyfriend usually died, was an abuser or some other tragic shit.

      Here's a little bit of Sims 2 trivia, the Sim that gets angry at you for spying on them with the telescope is always the first Sim created in the neighborhood (unless they're dead obviously, in which case it will be the sim created after them and so on and so forth) In Strangetown it's Vidcund Curious, and in Pleasantview it's Mortimer Goth. This actually lead a lot of people to think Mortimer was just an asshole, when it's how the game is programmed.

    Pro tip for Sims 2: increase characters head size to max, pick random default nose, and size settings resets on the other parts of the face, you can basically make their heads as big as you want

    I mean, it's a pretty good recreation of you, Kevin. The only problem is that it's too tan. I'm not being blinded by this sim's paleness, and therefore it's not a completely accurate recreation.
