I Play Sims 2 (part1)

I started playing Sims 2 again recently - wait, I mean obsessively - because I'm on a borrowed laptop that wouldn't cheerfully run Sims 3 and would definitely be ticked off if I tried to run Sims 4 on it. I kind of needed something to do with my depressed self, other than sitting on my bed waiting for Autumn to fully hit, or for someone to take their Words With Friends turn.

When I was writing stories with Sims 3, I used a lot of cheats, so I could concentrate on trying to capture something worth talking about. This time, other than an initial money cheat to get my family started, I haven't used any - which is fulfilling in the same type of way that experiencing ducks trying to peck you to death is good at passing the time.

I did have a moment of panic when I couldn't figure out where in the fuck the pictures saved to. Once I found them, I had several moments of agitation when I realized they do not save in the order you take them. But I am nothing if not completely unwilling to give up on something irritating and pointless, so here we are. Let's see where it goes.

Meet Geneva Becker. Like me, she enjoys sandwiches.

She's also slightly crackers - another thing we have in common.

Unlike me, she searches for men right outside her front door. I just get on the internet for that shit.

As it turns out, this fella is some sort of boobie-grabbing sourpuss ...

... which is why she didn't share any of her sandwiches with him. You just stay on that couch, jerky.

Geneva appears to be using the sign for "cup" - I suspect because it's quicker than finger spelling "vodka".

This was going to be my next suggestion, heading to a night club where the decor is
seizure-inducing and ... all the models in the paintings have apple heads.

All that's left to do now is have an exciting bowl of chili while the other patrons try out
some experimental handshakes ... and wait for the right man to show up.

I've spotted him! Get your ass outside, Geneva, this is your guy.
I betcha his name is Venkat Custer. He looks like a Venkat Custer if I ever saw one.

It's time to hear what this gentleman has to say about butter.

Those must have been some compelling opinions. He probably even threw in some
ideas about bagels, since she's trying to break him with her love.

I almost can't stand to watch, either.

Oh awesome, this tree is on fire.

Now that tree is on fire.

The kitchen's on fire, too - and a chef came to visit for some arcane reason.

They need to rename this game "Sims 2 - Everything's On Fire And So Are You".
