Part of the whole holiday experience is MASS LAZINESS. Therefore, I have three reviews to judge for two places this week.

Yeah, I tried to keep the redundancies between me and Rhody's review to a minimum, but I also wanted my review to stand on its own, so that meant having to re-explain some of its core mechanics.

Been meaning to reply since yesterday, but like you said in the beginning: MASS LAZINESS. Well, that, and I had a toothache...

Well, I'd say I'm more apathetic towards the Sims than anything else. I've never played any of those games because I've never really seen a point to them (and since I see a definite point to Kemco's games, we're probably entering "take with grain of salt" territory now) other than being goofy "real life simulators".

It's true that The Sims has no point, and I stated this quite openly in my review. However, I liked The Sims (or more specifically, The Sims 3) because I like creating characters. As a fiction writer, I have found that it is a way to have some fun with character designs while gathering inspiration for story ideas (laugh all you want).

I can understand that. I guess, that for me, the simming is more of a means to an end, to where I can do sim-like activities, but prefer them to have the goal of raising an army to crush everyone else...while the concept of simming to sim doesn't have the same appeal. Part of the "different people like different things" thing.

Clint of LGR has this interesting fascinated-bored relationship with the Sims games, and that in itself is amusing. When you like to monkey with something, it doesn't matter if it's personality traits or stats ... entertainment is as it does.
Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so... |

My wife loves The Sims, and found the series before I did. We have very nearly every expansion to each of the four games, including a bunch of stupid stuff like the Ikea Stuff pack and so forth. Just stacks and stacks of the games... and I haven't been tempted to touch most of 'em.

@ Rob: Yeah. Not everyone likes the series and that's perfectly okay. But for me personally, if there is a Sims 5 and it is done right, it'll probably become my new obsession.
