Yeah, I'm done treating little virtual dudes better than I treat myself.

Sims is one I just plain dont get.

Ive done the Everquests and WoW's, LotR etc. FPS's, RTS's blah blah galore....nearly every MMORPG game that did beta before and since the turn of the century, I was involved in....all the way back to UO.

the draw of Sims and the like, I just dont follow.

someone 'splain it to me

There is something very satisfying about keeping someone else's life organize and in order. I also enjoyed their decisions on how to programatically model a person's moods. Clever stuff.

Can you have a pet rabbit in Sims?

Our bunny fills up my happiness bar.

Yes.
