I've recently aquired the Sims 2 and all it's expansions, and so far I've got uni, nightlife and family fun installed (i'm pacing myself). I'm still getting used to all the dynamics of the game, since the whole aging thing puts pressure on you to accomplish things, and the aspiration feature is all new compared to Sims 1.
After you've been a vet of the sims, it can get pretty easy. What kinds of things do you do to liven it up? How do you make the game something you actually need to work at? Here's my story:
So I made a new sim a few days ago, had her save up some money, get married, etc. They had their first baby, a boy.
Now like I said, i'm still getting used to the game, so i typically play it very easy, if I have children I space them faaar apart so I don't have to deal with it all at once, I find dealing with babies and newborns hard.
Well, I thought to myself, why not try a challenge! why not go for a second baby right away after the birth of the first? See if I can handle it!
The pregnancy was all well and good (not as funny as the first pregnancy, where she would get sick at any thought of food, I made her watch the yummy channel becuase it was funny.. yes i'm mean)
I wasn't planning on twins.
So, there I was, unfamiliar and unconfident, and stuck with three small children!
Don't worry, they all survived (with the help of a nanny), and are now happily grown into children (phew!). But it was touch and go there a couple times.
But I just wanted to see if other people had stories like this, and what kinds of things you do to keep the game interesting!
