The Sims 3

OK, this is going to be bad. Here comes my inner geek! So, I got The Sims 3 last night. There is WAY too much to control and do in this game! It's amazing. I think I spent at least 3 hours last night just setting up my character and decorating (my favorite part!). I haven't even explored the city yet. That will be tonight. Except I need to quit my job first...in the game that is. Not sure why I got a job before I cheated my way to greatness. :)

I love that you can make the character a lot like you. However, I don't like that there are so many screens that I can't figure it out! It took us the good part of 20 minutes just to figure out how to move to a new house. Hint: you have to use your cell phone. Hint: that's hard to find, too. I guess I should have done the tutorial before I just dove in. I told the game that I never wanted to do the tutorial so now I am effectively screwed. But, in the options part, there are "lessons." Too bad they start in the middle of something. Like the whole moving thing. It didn't start with, "Go to your inventory. Click on your cell phone. Click 'Move.'"

Anyway, so to all my friends and family...sorry if I ignore you in the weeks to come! Blame The Sims!
