Sims 3 logic vs real life

@Nikkei_Simmer - I can't quote chapter and verse from the Sunset Valley tax code, upon which I imagine the tax codes of the other worlds are based. But seems to me it depends on which world one wants to live in. Playable ghosts are residents who happen to have an occult state. They get to own property, earn income, and use municipal services like public schools and the library (don't they?), be protected by the police and fire departments, enjoy city parks, so they get to pay taxes. If they live in some other spiritual world, then the rules of that world would apply.

Disclaimer: I'm starting to not have the slightest idea what I am talking about here... :p

(Checks on the title of this thread and looks around for a moment) You guys are correct, the vampires in this game do not act the way they do in "real life."

To be fair though, neither do the witches, werewolves, fairies, genies, planthumans, mermaids, mummies, zombies, aliens, ghosts, simbots, plumbots, and unicorns. The only alternate life state EA got right was imaginary friend, that's exactly how they work. >:) :p

Oh come on @igazor, you're being totally unfair, accusing all those perfectly acceptable alternative lifestates of being imaginary. I mean, I personally know a couple of witches and a few (self-identified) fairies. Biting doesn't work, but the wrong meds can make just about anyone into a zombie for a night. And the right ones can plant a human on the couch for what seems like a lifetime. You're probably friends with some genius programmer/mad scientist who's making a plumbot or two in his/her spare time; I'm sure the simbots will follow shortly. Anybody who watches professional basketball sees unicorns on a regular basis, although they do tend to run on two feet. I knew a girl in high school who didn't identify as a vampire, but she was super pale, never did anything outside, liked to brood and write for litmag, and was weirdly into biting. (The boys were all terrified of her.) I personally have never seen a werewolf in action, but every once in a while I meet a particularly hairy guy and I wonder... never mind.

On second thought, maybe your scoffing is just an underhanded attempt to throw us off your scent. We all know that genies have almost limitless powers, and yet most of us naïvely just wished for someone to fix our game. And then you appeared out of the ether, and suddenly, like magic, our wishes were granted. Don't think I can't see what you're doing.

Of course, if I wished for a long life you'd probably just make my game last twice as long as it would have otherwise. Hmmph.

I never said anything of the kind, you're putting imaginary words into my mouth. The only alternative lifestate that I said was "imaginary" was imaginary friend. It's a specific occult state by that name from Generations, you know, the dolls that can transform. :)

Next thing you know, someone will accuse me of not believing in the magic of gnomes. :s

Speaking of vampires. It´s totally not creepy to plan the wedding of your newborn child to the hot vampire next door.

@Waterdragon I see nothing creepy about this. I often have partners planned from birth and, in the case of a long-lived vampire, it makes perfect sense :)

Must-name-next-djinn-baby-"Igazor"! Ha! Love the idea! :D

I always thought of the sim mermaids as mammals. Because they can reproduce with human sims. Also, those shells have to hide something which is totally useless to a fish, right? And their tail fin looks more like that of a dolphin (mammal), than that of a shark (fish).
Even if they were fish, why would it be weird for them to eat other fish? Fish eat other fish. Humans are mammals and they eat other mammals all the time (well, I personally don´t, but I used to). If they started gnawing on each other, that would be something different.

Speaking of vegetarians, if you eat some meat by accident, it´s not enough to feel bad about it, you have to puke your guts out.

Yeah, that's a funny thing. As far as I know, "vegetarian" doesn't mean "heavily allergic to meat", but maybe the game creators had other point of view on it xD

My sim often sleep over in neighborhood, the owners give out that my sim made a bed in the morning time.

All npc residence includes meanspirited and evil sims all invite my sim in their house although they have never met my sim.

The local crime lord doesn't find anything suspicious about a random bush growing in the middle of a concrete lot or notice that it has legs and has moved at least seven times.

Just gonna point out that they aren't "allergic" to meat per say. Jokingly gonna compare...Whenever Sims, like humans, stop eating certain foods for a long time(usually animal products), such as not eating meat, or not drinking milk, their bodies stop producing the enzymes necessary to break it down. They will, yes, get sick when they then eat that food again.

I actually found that to be realistic about the sims! :D

Regarding the vegetarian thing... you both are right.

Some people go vegetarian because they have to. This may be due to an intolerance or dietary need.
Some people choose to go vegetarian. They do it when eating meat otherwise would not harm them.

I did find it a little odd that vegetarian sims throw up after eating meat.
