@EA_Mai, LOL 😃 It must have bee a blast to play the Sims (any version) at a slumber party! 🥳:eahigh_file:❤️ Alas, When TS1 came out I was already an adult! 😳 Since you are the authority figure here, I just thought of you as either close to my age or older 😃 😉
Thanks for the info about the Anniversary shirt being available in real-life in the Store! 😃 I want the one in purple (but they look good in all the colors!) 😎
@unseenlarks, I don't think using the Sims as a coping mechanism is strange at all. 😇 It is much healthier than a lot of other things you could be doing! 🤨 In fact, whenever I have either a bad day or a big argument with someone, the only way I can snap out of my bad mindset is to play the Sims for a little while! 🥳 Playing the Sims allows me to step away from the situation long enough to gain a better perspective, so I'm usually better able to handle it afterwards. ❤️❤️❤️
@unseenlarks, I bet this is true for a lot of people! 😇
@unseenlarks, I also have a chronic illness, so I understand! 😞 While I have a large extended family that I love to be around when I can, I still make some time for my little Simmies as well! 😇 And even though I don't really play to the Sims to feel less lonely so much, I can totally see how it would help! 🙂 I think for me one of the big reasons I love to play The Sims is that when you have a chronic illness you don't have much control over your life as you would like, and the Sims gives me a way to have some control over something (even if they are just pixel people!) 😃 😳 Therefore, I'm far less likely to be depressed (unless I am too sick to play, which has happened! 😢 ) And even when my Sims don't obey my commands or I loose track of one an he or she does something I didn't line up for them, it will often make me laugh! Those crazy Sims! 😃 :eahigh_file:
