I've heard of this game Sims - never played it. I think you create a life and family and such.
What would you create for yourself if you could actually create your life? Who would you be with, what would your career be? What kinds of things would you do?

That's great! Would you like to participate in my discussion? In this one, I'm wondering what you would do if you could actually create your life - your real life?

I heard of this game ... a long time ago from my boys' babysitter. Is it a game for children .... or for adults ... or does it matter .... when the adults are children?
I dream about the "perfect" life .... well, maybe not dream so much as wonder what would make that "perfect life". I tell my children that our concept of "perfect life" may not be so wonderful in "real life".
So ... tell me ... how do we create a life of happiness?

I love the Sims, but I would hate to be one of my Sims. I'm not very nice to them. I tend to kill them, have them cheat on their lovers, get them in fights... lol. =P
When I was a kid, I would have wanted to change my whole life. You've heard enough about my past around here probably to get that.
However, as an adult, I don't think there's much I would change. I would perhaps have more friends, but I like my husband and child. I would probably be way further up the career chain though. And I would have a house.
Actually building houses is one of the things both my husband and I really enjoy doing in the Sims game. We come up with some really weird house ideas. So I'm sure we would have a really interesting house.

Well if I could wave a want and erase the violence of your past - I would.
My husband and I think of houses in real life. We want to build an environmentally friendly home thats low energy. Solar and wind powered. And he wants plenty of rooms underground - just in case - and I want a dome home - as they can withstand disasters - hurricanes, tornados, fires - termites.
We always look at those planned communities sites. You know - not the kooky ideas - but the ones where people live on the same area of land - sometimes do their own thing - sometimes theres a shared business - and they can have their privacy most of the time if they want (which we likely would ) but once a week they come together for a meal and they share taking care of the property - like of the organic greenhouses and such. I know - different huh?
What ideas do you have for homes?

BTW - I'm so happy you answered my topic - I've had so many the past few days that have been ignored. Before I took my break from mylot, I used to get at least seven replies for each topic. It makes it interesting.

*nods* Thank you. I know you would, you kind soul. =)
Actually, that sounds like you have some really interesting ideas! I've always been kind of interested in the private but community type living too... I always have this stupid dream where I buy some land up here where I live and build several houses on it, and then just kind of let my friends and I have our own little community. =)
I would like to have something energy-efficient as well. Since my husband and I are both kind of weird and paranoid, other considerations are things like hidden passageways, traps for intruders, self-defense mechanisms, hidden weapons... yeah, I know, we're weird. Another thing that's a big deal to me is that I'd love to have a room for nothing but spiritual purposes. Probably in a tower or turret type thing, so it could be kind of "separate" and preferably roundish. =)
Oh, I'm sorry to hear you haven't been getting as many responses! I have been kind of weird lately myself... sometimes I won't be on for days and other times I'll be on all day. A lot of things going on for me offline. But I'll try to keep an eye out for your discussions!

I love this game. I have it on my laptop. I have a character is me but her name ain't the same as me. my name is worn out over years, so if I could change my name it would be "Zandra" anyways this character I am working on making her a nice home. I can't remember her career because I haven't played her in a while, I got other characters from smallville in my game I am working on. anyways Zandra is dating Nicolas cage. I thought it would be fun to put him in the game since he's hot and a great actor. right now I am working on lex luthor to date a few women. right now he's in college in lives with his girlfriend Lana. I don't think he should have only one girlfriend though, him being hot and evil.
