I have been amazed by how much depth these wishes can have! Make yourself comfortable, i am about to tell a story XD So, i had a sim who loved inventing, it was her favorite hobby and she had the personality trait for it. One day she started a fire while she was working, and guess what her next wish was? She wanted to sell the workbench!! That gave me great insight about how scared that made her, she wanted to give up on her favorite hobby! Really added some depth!Share with us you favorite stories about your sims wishes!!

I have two favorites. One is when a sim is totally devoted to and wishes to marry their partner right after they already got married to said partner. I guess they really enjoyed the wedding ceremony and wish to experience it again, or think the next one will be better? This one is possible to fulfill if they break up first, observe a suitable cooling off period, and then re-marry, but I've never bothered going to that extreme and just dismiss the wish as a passing fancy or something that appeared by mistake out of the usual order of things.The second one is when a teen draws the wish to learn how to drive, but they already have learned that, have the certificate proudly hanging on their wall, and have been driving their own or their parents' car all over town enjoying their new found freedom. This one I don't see how to (re)satisfy and was convinced it was a game programming problem until another player at MTS suggested that maybe it was really expressing a need to bond more with their parents, who would presumably be the ones teaching them how to drive (again), and that after a certain age these parents might have "forgotten" that they just went through all of this stress and horror. :D Those are unusual exceptions though, usually for me the wishes drawn and especially the ones that appear in sequence make much more logical sense.

Once i had a sim with the evil trait. When she was a teen she was always getting in trouble. Because of that she was also always fighting with her parents. Suddenly one day she got a wish to kill her mother and her father. I would never thought of such an outcome for that story.

I always have a chuckle when evil sims wish to see the ghosts of sims that annoy them :D

@igazor Ha! that is so funny about the teens wanting to go through the driving lessons again to get more attention from parents. The parents in my game stopped giving driving lessons and allowing teens to drive. Nowadays me they just dont wanna bother, i blame free taxis for ruinning this great bonding experince lol.@telmarina well, that escalated quickly O_o Hopefully pulling a few pranks would satisfy her wishes to a degree.@Mikezumi This one i never even attempt to do! they can keep wishing for it as long as they wish, i am getting rid of it everytime XD Maybe i should make a spinoff thread asking what wishes you never do. I have quite a few of those.

@Mareah I don't grant those wishes! I just chuckle for a bit then cancel them :D

I buy all the cheap kids stuff that parents wish for and then sell it. The parents often get the wish for the same thing again. It's a nice way to rack up points. Sell the xylophone as soon as a toddler skills up and one of the parents will want it again.

Yeah, this is great. Now somewhere in Sim World there are warehouses filling up with used and returned Bonehildas, xylophones, and other junk that no one is going to buy unless an online/shop at home service were to introduce a factory refurb or scratch and dent sale.

You guys are killing your own economies (wait, that doesn't make sense since preserving the demand would have the opposite effect...nevermind!) and negatively affecting the fake environment one silly toy item at a time. :D

Once my sims wished to divorce his wife, I thought it was funny and let him, I was thinking they would get back and remarry, but it never happen. I was sorry I did that. and now I ignore them, especially if they are silly.

You can then watch them sit lonely on one side of the seesaw for hours, staring at the empty seat on the other side. I guess it's a metaphor for life.

It would only be cool if a meteor hit the other side and the kid could be found wandering in another one of your cities.
Uh, I guess there is a good reason they don't make me a game programmer ... :D

Actually that would be cool. But knowing me, I'd probably end up wanting to see the little blighter on Lunar Lakes or something like that. :mrgreen:

Physics rule...hmmm, Every action has an equal and opposite reaction...or something like that. Now would a kid being launched from the other end of a seesaw by the impact of a meteor...reach escape velocity?

Call Tiberius Willard. My (real, not vampire food) offspring once developed a crush on Tiberius. The next time I played, before the university meet-and-greet even started, Tiberius was killed by the Murphy bed. :|
