i've been playing THE SIMS 3 lately. it is very addicting.
i've modeled my first group of four housemates after serenity rose, vicious whisper, tess, and kelton! i like how you can assign them 5 personality traits (from a list) and i tried my best to make them true to the fictional characters
serenity: artistic, loner, un-flirty, "never nude"
vicious: virtuoso, green thumb, friendly
tess: good sense of humour, "inappropriate", hates children
kelton: computer whiz, neurotic, clumsy
um, that's what i can remember, anyway ^.^'! as the game naturally progressed, i learned that vicious really likes to meet new people, tess can have a good time doing just about anything anywhere and serenity is happiest just being on her own doing the things she likes best like such as painting. serenity turned out to be a really good cook as well. kelton and vicious are best friends because they both took up gardening and spend time together working on the garden and talking about gardening (kelton got a bit of a crush on her for a while).
tess took up the guitar early and got a job with a local performance group and worked her way up from roadie to back up guitarist. vicious got a job for city hall and is good at politics because of her natural high charisma but plays the guitar and paints for fun. kelton got a job with the local science institute and became a master gardener and really handy at fixing things. serenity has no steady job, but works from home selling her paintings and raking in royalty checks from writing books and submitting them to publishers online!
they haven't gotten elderly yet, but they are well on their way to obtaining their life's goals before they die. which sounds kind of sad, but it's pretty much how you "win" The Sims, isn't it?
and sorry to ramble on about them... i'm just having a really good time playing with them is all :-D
