I'm in the "I never tortured my sims for fun" boat. Sure, sims die and suffer and make each other's life miserable over the course of the stories I play, but that's sims doing that to other sims. I'm strictly outside my game.
However, I did all fun things the author mentions about Zoo Tycoon: dropping visitors into predator fish tanks, unleashing the big cats on the visitors, testing which species eats which other (sadly, hunger doesn't fill up)... So the appeal of torturing pixels is certainly there, it just doesn't manifest when I play the Sims. Maybe I percieve Zoo Tycoon as a game but the Sims as a storytelling environment? I mean, I wouldn't punish my OCs for something I had them do in a story, either. That would be silly.
lol I did some of that in zoo tycoon. Minus the testing species to see who was where in the food chain. I can get on board with virtual people dying, not keen on virtual animals dying! :D
I never saved afterwards, so any eaten animal would still be there safe and sound the next day :)
But for a time opening the cages and watching the chaos unfold was a sort of morbid routine before shutting down the game.
I might have dropped guests in the lion cage and shark tank.. :p
Love the zoo tycoon series! It makes me want to play now!
Anyhow back on topic.. :-)
