I do that on Internet pages, not just on YouTube. LOL

When your wife tells your daughter, "You need to hurry up and change clothes...we need to leave soon," and your daughter's response is to jump into the air and spin around...with no effect. "It was worth a try," she responds, and all three of you laugh.

Simlish sounds more like a real language than some human ones do. There are times I almost understand what they are saying. Have that feeling in TS2 as well.

You are convinced that sims are living in the real world. The other day was stopped at an intersection waiting for traffic to clear in both directions when a car turned onto the street I was on. The driver, who was only a very few feet away so could see clearly? Nancy Landgraab! Other than outfit, that woman was a perfect match.

When you actually have a big note book to record all the CAS, build modes, careers, environment, NPCs, occults, relationships, skills & traits cheat codes. Plus, playing 6 different Timeline Game Saves. And that's playing only vanilla.

BHAAAAA…. Glad I’m not the only one! I even start a new notebook with each generation and have sim specific information like traits and things so I have record after they’re long gone.

When you know a foreign language but hesitate to speak because a Simlish word is trying to come out instead.

In my case, I wanted to say "Thank you" but I got confused whether the word is in that foreign language or Simlish. So, I ended up saying it in my native language. The word wasn't Simlish... Oof...

Please play along. :)

You get emotional after almost a month of not playing when you lose a beloved sim to the Meteor Death from the Werewolf GP. Literally! I was getting ready to switch households when I got the popup that Ben Cole saw the meteor. By the time I cancelled the travel it was too late. I went as far as to have his sister bring him back with magic. He has since become a vampire, so he's technically still dead! LOL!!

When you speak and understand Simlish, then begin to transform into a Sim yourself.

LOL That's great!

I would have done a save recovery, myself, to prevent the death. But, that's just me. I'm a writer and if a chapter just flat out goes wrong (because the characters don't always read their scripts ahead of time and wing it) I just rewrite it. ;)

You, too, eh? I'm of the write as ideas come school, rather than plan it out ahead, and the 3-act structure is anathema.

To the topic, you start simming in your sleep, so can't remember when awake if something happened in your game or a dream. Can be a source of story ideas, though.
