G4TV – What We Learned From The Sims: We Are Bad People

The crew over at G4TV takes a moment to reflect on their past moments of The Sims franchise as well as sharing 2 ways you can kill off your Sims 😛

A friend of mine wanted to create a “Pimps and Ho’s” themed Sim family in the original game. He bought the biggest house on the block. There were four escorts of various appearances, a body guard, and even a pimp to keep them in line. No expense was spared in decorating the mansion with fountains, art, and statues. In the back, there was even a huge swimming pool just waiting for them to flounce around. And then he ran out of money.

When starting a game of The Sims, you only get so much money to buy a house and decorate it. The money also has to cover the essentials like a bed for them to sleep on, a couch just to sit on, or even a refrigerator to keep food in. He had none of these things. His full house of ill repute quickly got tired of standing and started complaining. Then they got hungry. My friend had just enough money to buy a phone and call for one pizza. The single piece of food in the house sat on the floor. Everyone else stood. One of the girls tried to go swimming but got exhausted and drowned. No one could work because they were always tired and hungry. Eventually, they passed out on the street and the front yard.
