stop playing Sims 2 so much

I don’t want to stop really, i want sims 3 for my birthday, which is tomorrow, i turn 26. oh god!

it wasn’t a conscious decision. instead, my computer doesn’t handle the game too well, and i feel too left out now that i’m about 3 expansion packs behind, so i don’t feel compelled anymore.

of course, when the Sims THREE comes out…

but it really takes a lot of time. I used to play for hours on end, but now I only play maybe an hour or 2 a week when I’m bored.

I totally do NOT play as much anymore. I’m thinking of purchasing the new upgraded packs though…...

I have had a sim free weekend, that is if you don’t count my downloads and forum checking. This is difficult for me but I can’t seem to play the sims 2 for less than 4 hours or so at a time. My sims have more of a life than I do! Wish me luck!

I now play only on weekends, if I feel like it.

The game gave me a life altering thought that keeps popping up in my mind. Anf adult turned elder of mine got the following comment: “You had a mediocre life.”.......I’m thinking, what the….after all I’ve done. I do NOT want that comment to apply to me in real life!

i’m officially 2 weeks sim-less….

...but i have yet to install the new expansion pack. trying to stay strong. haha

I got the Nightlife expansion, but my computer parts don’t meet the system requirements. Now I can’t add new furniture or go downtown without my computer freezing. I am starting to play Sims again, letting each Sim meet others and find out who they have the best chemistry with.

New features I noticed:
-Tired Sims at the dinner table have their face fall into the plate of food!
-Babies are more animated with their arms

I want to play Sims with pure fate by living their wants and needs, and then see how they live their life. Here I go again….

i wouldn’t be so addicted to this game if i wasn’t so attached to my sims. but i created my own neighborhood in which i placed characters from a story i wrote. i don’t know how to let them go.

I didn’t play at all today. Yay me!
