Describe the Moments When Your Real Life Resembles The Sims Game «12...Next Go

GalacticGal

This morning I had a real life Sims moment. I stepped into the shower and as I usually do, I turned the shower head to one side while I turned the faucet on its highest (hottest) setting. Only today, water started spewing out from just above the pipe where the shower head screws in. It's a hand held type of shower head. With water spewing all over, the flow from the shower head itself was greatly reduced. All I could think of, is this is a Sims moment. I have just become a Sim!

My Sims were busy very recently having to go about their entire two story house to fix the plumbing, be it leaky sink faucets, or showers or the toilet. Even the dishwasher broke and the stove went kablooey. They upset the Holiday Gnomes, you see. Happily, when I turned the heat down on the faucet, the flow from the top ceased. Yay. But still, there was that moment.

Please describe moments where the game inserted itself into your Real Life.

Today I pranked mam with a noxious cloud. Does that count?

mightysprite

Ok which gnome did you kick?

VeeDub

Well, there was that time I came out of the bathroom to find a total stranger in my kitchen. Pretty sure I got red relationship marks from the way I pointed him to the door.

@VeeDub ,you should always lock your front door, it's a safety issue so that no strangers can just come into your home. You're very blessed that you didn't get hurt.

And you're still alive? LOL

Both awesome and scary.

Probably the one that switched on my hall light just beyond my loft office! LOL

Sadiesue

Standing in front of my tv while watching it. It’s on the wall above my fire place. When I realized what I was doing I laughed because I thought of our sims. Lol.

JestTru

Coming home from work to a messy house because my husband let's the kid do whatever which results in her making messes in various places throughout the house. I get a very uncomfortable moodlet thanks to my OCD and have to go on a cleaning frenzy just to be comfortable.

Just like in my sims game when the toddlers and kids are left to their own devices and randomly make messes throughout the lot.

EgonVM

Me wanting a lot of water.

Wrenry

Finding five bucks a dust bunny was hoarding under the couch is close enough for me. It also had a cat treat it was hoarding and I’m glad that’s the only food I found.

AyKooChao

Every single time I:

a) get simulation lag
b) randomly drop things from my queue
c) finish my chai and go to rinse out my mug in the bathroom sink.

phantasmkiss

Walking into a room, forgetting what I'm doing, standing there confused for a moment, then going to get some water.

Zimz4

I have a tendency to tell people they score (or lost) relationship points in real life social interactions or telling them 'the color of my plumbob' as an indication of my mood (which gets really hilarious eyebrow raises and/or frowny faces when people don't know what a plumbob is )

Lol, this is frequent for me.

One simlish thing that I really wish I could replicate is getting into bed, falling straight to sleep and not waking until morning when I am fully refreshed

You and me, both!

Last summer, when I was at waterpark with my cousin and her kids.. I had to get out of the pool from the place where there were no ladders. I remember thinking "this looks much more easier in sims!".

Did that all the time as a kid. I grew up in Sunny Southern California. We had a pool for most of my life. I daresay, trying to get out of a pool like that now, could be problematic. But then again, I'm now 66 years old.

SailorCeti

Well, just yesterday, I tried to cook something, and the pan got stuck on my hand. Does that count?

Stuck on your hand? Yeah, I'd say that counts.

QueenofMyshuno

LOL, I’m picturing you mopping up the floor afterwards with a standard sims-looking mop.

As for me, I feel like it takes me way more time than it should to complete simple tasks, especially household chores. Like, I’ll think it’s going to take me 20 minutes to do the dishes, and then an hour later when I’m finishing up, I’m like... yep, I’m a sim. LOL

MoonlightGraham

Visiting friends on Saturday evening, spotting their grill, and grinning when I wondered if my wife, who has the Neat trait, would suddenly decide to go outside and begin cleaning it. (She didn't.)

Mstybl95

I live in a desert where the temperature from March through September is basically blazing inferno. So you know when sims overheat and combust...well, that's me after being outside for longer than 10 minutes. I pass out very quickly and have suffered heat exhaustion several times. If my body had its way, it would definitely combust.

Peral

I live alone and come home to my appartment and see the untidy bits and do the "meshka" who has done this mess?!

bshag4lv

Two words, potty dance. Nuff' said.

sunblond

Does the fact that when I see total strangers, I start cataloguing how I could turn them into a sim?

My sister's friend cut my hair a few weeks ago and it resembles a medium-length hair from Backyard stuff.
