Fun With "The Sims"

Ah yes, the squandering of time. How luxurious it is to have limitless hours to fritter away doing nothing more productive than re-creating our real-world home in the Sims-world.

Had to take a few liberties due to some of the graphical and/or available objects constraints in this now "old" version of "The Sim's Hot Date", but all-in-all, not a bad facimile of the general layout of our townhouse-style condo. The characters don't really look too much like us though.

This isn't the first Sims re-creation I've done. I designed one house as Osama Bin Laden's "hideout" and one as the Starship Enterprise in it's familiar shape with warp drive nacelles on each side and, of course, all TOS main characters. I also made a fabulous White House resplendent with all the goodies like the "Situation Room" and "Oval Office", and, unfortunately, it's current resident "characters", too. Not to mention the houses of several friends, apartments I have lived in in recent years (which add up, believe me!), and some unique characters I made up like an Odessa File elderly ex-Nazi who likes to conduct "scientific" experiments in his attic, a deposed king of a long-forgotten kingdom, and a gay playboy/jewel theif named Joe Adonis.

I so need help. :(

But meanwhile, on to our show of our current humble abode...

So, here are a few photo album snapshots of one rather ordinary morning at 1 Sim Lane...
