Simulated life for voyerists EXTREME

Once again, I have become enamored with the sims. More precisely (and at this very moment), the Sims 3. And yes, in case you were wondering - said game is currently running behind this very window, in windowed mode.

I love Sims 3 especially because of its new characterisation system. While the characters still lack a certain individuality about them (or maybe that's just because I always end up making similar characters), the new trait system allows for much more story than the previous one did. And since I'm obviously a writer over the designing/aesthetics part of the whole game concept, I enjoyed this improvement a fair deal.

Sure, there should be more slots for the traits, there should be far more traits with far more subtle effects, but there's a good beginning to improve upon!

Bu'yeah. Sims 3 is currently a very nice game I like. The only thing is, I can't really utilise the story system completely, since I don't like most of the npc's and I'm too much of a perfectionist to utterly build a neighbourhood filled with only my own sims. *shudders* That project would take ages!

Also, I've got some problems with some custom content I've downloaded. It's been causing my game to crash, and I'm playing very slowly now, 'cause every five minutes, I have to stop to save. I seem to have fixed the problem by deleting some of that custom content - however, still not entirely sure...

UPDATE: Just when I finished writing this blog entry and posted it, the game crashed again. Trying taking all of my mods out one at a time, seeing if it'll fix anything. God-DAMN.

There was no point to this post! I just wanted to gladly announce that for once, I'm not doing homework or writing, but actually doing something else...!

And my pollen allergy/hayfever is acting up. Going to sneeze (and continue being a mass consumer of tissues), write later ->
