The Sims meet Second Life

Anyone play Second Life?  I won’t go near it…feels like a huge Sims ripoff IMO.  Not to mention the stories I hear about the game…I’d probably have to guess it would be a virtual neighborhood of 4Chan!  If anybody actually plays the game and want to add a Sims twist to it, Reek! has created a interactive plumbob that change colors when you use either positive or negative words.
