@Nate_Whiplash1 I started playing Sims with TS2. I found it much more difficult, but it had some good points. Anyway, I was still learning the game, trying to keep my sim's needs taken care of and his moods lifted, but it wasn't easy. I sent him to work one day and when he came home, he just collapsed on the sidewalk and died! (I don't think TS2 took care of needs while a sim was at work.) I couldn't believe it! His poor little cat was left all alone. Game over! ? I didn't save though. And when I restarted, I worked really hard to make sure I sent my little guy to work in better health!
I think that first experience with a sim death left me anxious about sim needs getting too low. And I got paranoid about Grim. ?
