    ...your games seem to have more 180 degree relationship turns than the Young and the Restless.

    When you're already on your college campus and class starts in 15 minutes but you're considering skipping to just go play sims in the library.

    Sims comes before many things but not school. Go to class! Your older self will thank you. :kissing_heart:

    When your dad calls you up and asks "Have you checked the weather recently" because he doesn't know if you're aware of the seriously nasty storm headed your way, and your serious response is "Yeah, it's been raining pretty hard in Sunset Valley the last three days. The Spooky Day festival was ruined, and my cats are getting really nervous about all the lightning."

    Made worse by the fact I'm allergic to cat fur, and my apartment has a 'no pets' policy. The only cats I have are in-game. My dad knows this.

    When you're watching an episode of Riverdale (surprisingly good series) and you start wondering how the director of the series managed to record the events in Sunlit Tides while you were playing. Mostly because a lot of the drama seems to be duplicating things that are happening in your Sims 3 game.

    When you make a new game just to answer the burning question of "how many times can one sim die in the course of a single day". The answer so far is 5. Meteor strike upon first showing up in town. Lightning strike while walking from the new meteor crater to the front door. Burned to death while cooking lunch. Electrocuted by the tv shortly after lunch. Then killed by the bed that evening. Mr Grim kept bringing Calico back to life because he was enjoying her mishaps so much.

    I know, her calico cat Callie was just fine though. Was too busy laughing to take screen shots, and I didn't even consider recording the day since I didn't expect anything to happen on the first sim day.

    @cleo00 That is so funny! I can't say I have ever seen someone playing sims on a college campus, but I have seen the sims 3 icon on the desktop of some neighboring peers. It is a great conversation starter :D . I never dared to play a video game during class, but I have seen some people do so, especially in a really really boring class.

    Right now my laptop is a macbook air and I need an external drive to start TS3 :/ . It kind of defeats the purpose of having a laptop. I need a PC laptop with a built in cd drive. There is no excuse to not have a cd drive built in.

    Or you need a digital version of the game. The more recent Mac operating systems, for the most part, and this means El Capitan, Sierra, and now High Sierra, reportedly can't even authenticate the game from discs so an Origin for Mac install is required anyway.

    Apple jumps the gun, so to speak, on this kind of thing more often than other manufacturers do. But MacBook Airs aren't supposed to have optical drives, the whole point of that product line is to be lightweight. Optical drives are heavy, even the internal ones. It won't be long before there are no built-on optical drives on most any off the shelf configured computers.

    A PC it is then. I am tired of apple's war on disk drives, usb ports, headphone jacks, etc. When I buy a PC, it is complete... usually.

    This breaks the theme of the thread, but here it is.

    You know that EA did an amazing job with Sims 3 when it's simple affirmation of life helps to dull your grief at least for a little while.

    I'd never dare play IN class, not without turning the censor pixels back on first and deleting my erhm...male body part mod :D
    But even though I'm in my 20s I don't drive so my dad drops me off on campus on his way to work and picks me up, so I have lots of time that I'm just sitting around that I could play. Most of the week I'm done by noon and can play in the library til 5pm. Mondays, like when I posted that, I've got a 3 hour long class so no playing on Mondays.

    When I was in college, the only thing that was out was games for PCs, and the SNES. And my mother refused to get one of those things - and my dad figured those things were wastes of time. The Sims was not even on the horizon and wouldn't be for another 8-10 years - I don't think it was even a twinkle in Will Wright's mind when I was in college. So we had nothing to while away the time other than to read books...or dump quarters in coin-op consoles. Y'all have it so lucky now. :D

    Was reading these off LAUGHING to hubby and he came up with a few of his own! :lol:

    When somebody else is walking through the kitchen and you set your plate on the floor and yell at the sky. :p

    When your online banking password is "kaching" :lol: (no mine is not IRL)

    When your date goes poorly because you tried to hug her/him and give them 15 backrubs!

    When your wife tells you she's pregnant but you don't remember hearing no chimes!
    :joy:
