"The Sims" To Have Its Own TV Series?
rev420 writes "Variety.com and SimEden.com are reporting that Maxis is working with Tri Star Television and Pet Fly Productions ("The Flash", "The Sentinel", "Viper") on a potential television show based on "The Sims"." This sounds pretty lame... unless they use my Sim Neighborhood: I used skins from 20 Female Television stars ranging from the girls of Friends, Xena, Buffy, and beyond. I made many households and played the game normally for awhile. After the ladies all fell in love with each other, purchased everything available in the game, and had successfull careers, I started luring
neighbors over and trapping them in my attic, or drowning them in my pool. You haven't lived until you've seen Xena Warrior Princess die
in a terrible grill fire while Sculley flails her arms in terror. Now that would be good TV. Especially with anatomically correct skins.
When I first started playing, a neighbor walked into my house. We were both males, but I noticed one of the available options was "Tickle". He shoved me, and never came back. I cracked up laughing, and decided to start calling him at 3 AM.
Sadly, though, I ended up quitting, because my character got to be in such horrible health that he refused to look for a job or clean up, and eventually couldn't afford food. Another highlight: when he ran out of money, he had a maid cleaning -- she took my trashcan as collateral!
