Who's still playing the Sims 1 from time to time?
I've been loving it recently, when I'm playing I just feel like I'm in a totally different time period or something :D Anyone else feel that way? :) http://666kb.com/i/dbqzdeuy1w4dz67qw.png

The relationships are frustrating, in a way they are realistic- I feel romance was really easy in later iterations. That being said i was quite surprised Lilas attempts at flirting was received, normally if I initiate flirting when the relationship bar is under 30 it's a flat rejection.
She is outgoing and playful which helps I think. When I invited Clifford round a day later they became friends. Whenever he comes around he brings her flowers and fruitcake so I figure he likes her. I'm not too bothered if they become romantic or not. Right now he's just a Sim to keep her social bar filled ;)
One thing I've remembered that frustrated me about the game is the sims really really care about their environment. I couldn't work out why my sim went from having 3 green bars at the front door and somewhere between there and the carpool she would drop down to one green motive bar. Then I realised it was because there was a pee puddle by one of the dogs that hang around her lot. The puddle is on the edge of the lot and I couldn't see it zoomed in, that's what was dropping her motives!
She got fired from being a Cadet because she missed work two days in a row. Lila is now a ticket collector in the circus. I love the sims 1 careers!
The relationships or lack of in CAS is frustrating, it's hard when you start a family because while you can pretend two sims are together it's quite hard to get them together. I've not got any kids in my current neighbourhood as I'm just taking my time and hopefully we will get some born in game.
In some ways because sims don't age it's nice to relax without worrying about running out of time to have career and children which is a struggle I have with the sims 2. It's the hardest game of the series but i like the challenge, nothing is handed to you on a plate.
Believe it or not those pics were taken with my iPad. I just uploaded them as the quality was better than the screen shot as the image was bigger.
