Is journaling even still a thing? Are y'all still out there? Anyhow, I have been having very bad brain for quite some time which has almost entirely disconnected me from the fannish community at large and left so much distance from so many people I care about...I miss you guys. I really have no point to this post except to make it, I guess. And say hi. HI! It really, really wasn't you. It was me. It still is me, but maybe I want to try being a little more present when I can at least.

I love it DEEPLY... but I guess it's super controversial in the sims community, so maybe it would be fun for you? IDK?

Yes, you can make Evil sims and they have a hilarious thing where they will occasionally break out into a full on MUAHAHAHAHAHA laugh, and also tend to get really happy when other sims are bummed. Also, the love and like relationship bars are separated so hate sex and enemies *in bed* are options.

The new Create a Sim is balls out awesome (agreed upon even by the haters). Making your Sims look exactly like you want them to look has never been easier, like, down to being able to adjust their foot size and posture even. And the base clothing options are pretty decent (it also has native mod support so if you like making clothes and hairs and stuff in blender it's super easy to throw them in your game).

Personally I find the gameplay both hilarious and deeply entertaining, despite some tuning flaws in the reactions system. They also keep patching it every month with new free content along side bug fixes. I got it on release in September and haven't stopped playing since (and now with the camping game pack they released in October and then first expansion pack, Get To Work, just released last week...John Sheppard is totally retiring from being an Astronaut to run a bakery, and Rodney is going into the new active science career so he can invent a freeze ray).

So, yeah. I love it a loooot. But there are people, especially people who find 3 to be their favorite of the series, don't? Origin has a 24 hour great game thingie where you can return it for a full refund within 24 hours if you want to try it without committment.

Is it difficult or liek super easy?

It's like all Sims games, there are actual 'game' stuff you can do if you like achieving goals and whatnot (none of it very difficult at all). But you can also just give your sims an inheretance from dearly departed Aunt Motherlode so they are richer than sin, ignore the goals entirely and just wander around doing awful (or nice) things to and for your sims and making up stories and skilling them up however you want (or just using cheats to raise their skills).

Like, the last session I booted up I sent John and Rodney camping and had them spend all their time eating s'mores and singing campfire songs and woohooing in the tent (I've been rough on them lately and they don't get much alone time since Ronon and Teyla moved in so I wanted to send them on a romantic vacation alone, and we hadn't used the add on camping game pack yet).

SOUNDS EPIC!
