Seeing as how the Sims themselves have naturally been, perhaps they're just destined to remain dumb as they are without 'our guiding hand' as it were. Heck, I've been enjoying my game progressively for the past few months now but it's only taken me until now that I finally decided to play with mods, but that's usually how it always goes with me when it comes to a game I really like: I play it endlessly nonstop until all of a sudden I played all my hype of it away and progressively forget it.
