Where nerd girls become mean girls...
...they go like this. The Go Fug Yourself crew is always amusing, but this piece of gamer snark just makes me outstandingly happy today. Even if it's clear that their Sims were better socially adjusted than mine. (I stopped playing after my Sim, a blonde nerd with multiple science projects, obsessive cleaning habits and no social life, spawned an evil twin who beat her up and got her arrested for trespassing in her own Sim-house. Stupid game.)

Time for a Sheila Brofloski moment: wha-wha-wha-WHAT?!?!
The most that happened to my Sims was the upscale white family had their adopted black son abducted by aliens after looking through a telescope, while Edward Norton, Mr. T and Philip Seymour Hoffman tried to get relationships going with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Reese Witherspoon respectively.
AG, Your sim was playing with the chemistry set eh? The most usual result with mine was one of them drinking the potion that turned them into a clumsy monster that would break almost anything they touched... OTOH if you could get them painting, it would bring in big money.
MC, i never got into playing celeb look alikes in either TS1 or 2... and i don't think one in three relationships were hetero in any household i set up.
Overall, i prefer The Sims 2, for more detailed social interactions... though certain downloadable addons did not mix. A live in NPC with a downloaded Lament configuration locked a University household tight shortly befor graduation, and the last save was the beginning of the semester, i hadn't written the paper yet.
mfh, it was just their faces really. I do remember there was a grandfatherly figure in the neighborhood that just carved gnomes for a living. Made a pretty penny doing it too.
Yeah, the chemistry set. And this is me utterly mortified, esp. since now I hear I could have been carving gnomes?! Dammit! That's pretty much what I want to be doing in RL these days!!!
MFH, don't leave us hanging; how did that end up? (Can't exactly hack the NPCs with a sword in this case; was there any recourse at all?)
It was a workbench in Living Large that allowed your Sims to carve and paint gnomes.
It was just an NPC that was effectively immortal by design getting killed in a messy way. The game locked up tight until i rebooted and had to reload from last save.
I had to have the sims in that house restart the semester, re write the papers, relearn the skills.
The second pass through senior year was actually more fun though, i did not re purchase the lament configuration, and my students managed to get higher grades than before... mainly because i stumbled on an object the simmies could use autonomously that eliminated the need for sleep.
**wry grin** As a bonus, they were addicted to the device for the rest of their lives.
Heh, with the Sims series, it was always the user made objects that made the games for me.
That, and in the sims 2 at least, keeping the men in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. **evil grin**
