    Obsession: What is yours?

    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    I tell myself, "OK this is the game where I do not garden." Guess what happens? I end up gardening. I think it comes down too opening my Sim fridge and finding "Normal Quality" ingredients when I KNOW the ingredients can be better.

    So since my old tower took a crap and I had to buy a new one, I am currently working on a project to give all my future Sims perfect quality ingredients.

    Anyone else have an obsession they cannot seem to stop doing in the game?

      I don't know if this is an obsession but pets. I always have to have them! Then again I'm very fond of animals in real life so that might be why. :D

      I hear ya hun! That is another thing I do too, tell myself "No pets this game." Guess what happens? I see a cute stray kitten/puppy and end up taking them home..LOL!

      Just wish pets had jobs like they had in Sims 2. Oh and there bars did not go down so darn fast. Ahhh well.

      I guess i always have to have my sims at least date each other, or have a family. I can never play with just one sim! :lol:

      I have a few of them - first is I make most of my Sims hackers 'cus you can really rake in the big bucks.
      Hank Goddard ( whatever his last name is ) is an obsession also. Most of the women I play in Sunset valley take him as a mate.
      I seem not to be able to leave the gardening alone either and must have some cherry trees.

      My obsession is building. I made these house boats a few days ago.

      14123219039_089cf64d9f_c.jpg

      It's been a few days since I've built anything, I'm proud of myself :P.

      My obsession used to be sim making, but I don't do it as much as I used to. I don't upload to the exchange anymore (I upload to MTS), but seriously, my studio has hundreds of items, mostly sims.

      I did however just make this sim. I edited it from a plain townie that just moved in. Can't have that :shock:. I like tweaking little things about sims, and slowly building them up to a person I didn't envision in my head :D.

      I'm the opposite most of my sims are family oriented so they don't have affairs. Now sometimes I'll make the townies cheat on their spouses. I had Thornten Wolffe cheat on Morganda with Jamie Jolina. :P

      I actually had this but I managed to grow out of it...mostly. :twisted:

      Also I'm battling my addiction of making sims as well!

      Rehab anyone? :lol:

      My obsession in Sims 3 would have to be my current family.

      When I first got the game I quickly threw together a Sim just to get to grips with the game, then that save got corrupted and I had to start over. So I made a new lady and I have put about 300 hours into her and her family and I just can't bring myself to play with anyone else. I just can't do it.

      I don't know what I'm going to do when she dies, I'll be upset for weeks!!

      Counters. My house's kitchens always needs a lot of counters.
      And the bob cut hairstyle, that has been my obsession for too long, but it must be on a guy. I remember having a large family and everyone had exactly the same hairstyle, there was like twenty sims in that family.
      And Simbots. I have that hidden trait thing and I've created too many human simbots.

      I don't think it's an obsession, :? just a hobby or whatever... :roll:

      I always start with a girl. Don't know Y I just do. :|

      Then I always say "I will pay more attention to her son than I will to her daughter" (if she has any) and then I always end up with a girl. :hunf:

      I don't know why, maybe I just forget it or :| ....well, I really don't know :|




      Wow those smilies really fit to this text don't you think? :wink:

      Hi :D

      I do about all of the Above! :lol:

      I love the gardens even when I say 'No Garden!' they'll end up with a few plants. :XD:

      And if I see a cute stray my Sim must go and get it... even the horses. 8)

      Then there's the Consignment Store. I have to check it out the first day and a couple times a week looking for something good and easy- like cheap books or gems or the WA items.

      Then there's the Art work- I love to have the paintings and sculptures but not writing books... I don't know why. :XD

      She'll usually have a love interest within the first week of testing a new world. I can't help it, especially if there's a cute new Sim. :mrgreen:

      I guess I play the same way with my Sims... I do try and make her children different and play to their traits. Just not the Mean Spirited- don't like that one. :shock:

      *Oh, and pause. I pause way too much. :mrgreen:
