This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Is there therapy in Sims 4? This could really turn around.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It's a DLC - $185 per session

If he's playing the Sims 4, which the screenshot is off, then how did he manage that? It's quite easy to lead your sims to success in that game.

sims become sad if you don't make them sociallly interact with others on the regular

I kinda expect my sim to behave like me when I make him like me.

That's why I always make my main sim my exact opposite. Which also means he is evil. Which is fine for me because the "Evil Genius" career path is my favorite.

But if you make your sim evil, doesn't that make you evil too? Like if God is good, why does he allow bad things to happen?

I love evil Sims. They are so much fun to play, especially with mods. Nice Sims are too... real? Like, in order to have a nice or otherwise relatively normal sim, you kinda have to play them like a real person which can get too real. But evil sims can be played like a cartoon supervillain. My current crackhead is a hideously deformed twig named Shpingle Bab

Edit: also, in Sims 4 specifically I now have a tradition where Johnny Zest gets immediately marked as immortal whenever I start a new save because he becomes the neighborhood punching bag (thanks Vargskelethor for making this disproportionately amusing), his yard becomes the graveyard for that save, and the ghosts all get autonomous violence turned on. It's fun to sometimes just watch the ghosts fruitlessly trying to kill each other with the occasional passerby getting recruited to their ranks.

I’ve enjoyed many simulator games, but I’ve come to appreciate that there is a point where a game is too realistic to be fun. It needs to highlight the fun parts of simulating, and downplay the parts that are not so fun.

My guy we're talking about the Sims

What's not realistic about a man breaking down in his own piss in front the espresso machine he somehow wasn't able to leave for the bathroom while his wife drowned in the pool just because it didn't have a ladder?

Hey, you would have difficulty going to the toilet too if it took 1h each time you did so and 3h to take a shower.

A tale as old as time

Up until someone makes depression simulator and gamifies it into an addictive engaging game.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's already a thing, it's called League of Legends

I guess you guys are depressed because you are not cool enough to play Dota.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

They're depressed not suicidal
