Just made it... of course they all have to be human... Made a HUGE house with the "Foster" family, including Mr. Herriman, Madame Foster, Frankie and Bloo. Created a "Taylor" (like that name) family with Maria (Mom), Terrence and Mac. Another one is the "Abandoned" family with Coco and Eduardo. Plus there is a "Basketball " one with Wilt, a "Westlane" one with one of my fan characters, Sheila, and a "t J F" one with another fan character, Shaula. Then an "Adult" one featuring a grown-up Terrence. Mac and Bloo are currently good friends hanging out together, Wilt is dating Shaula, Terrence is teasing his younger brother, Sheila is cruel with Shaula, Mr. Herriman often argues with Frankie... I think that's fun :-)

I still want the Sims! Never got it. It looks totally fun. I knew a guy who worked for the company that puts that software out and he was going to get me a copy but I forgot to ask him about it...poop. Ohwell.

Take some screencaps and show us!
(If you don't know how, click the button on your keyboard that says 'print screen' and then paste it in paint or some program like that)

Can you explain it a bit more? I'll see what I can do!

I've been hearing about the Sims for some time. I see it every time I'm in the local Best Buy. Could someone tell me what it's all about? Is this something I want/need to buy?

I can explain how to do a Print Screen.
When you've got what you want on your screen, hold down the ctrl key and press the one that says prt scr on top and sysrq on the bottom (well, that's how it looks on my keyboard). *Then* go into a graphics program, Paint or whatever, and select "Paste As New Image". When you do ctrl-prt scr it saves the image of your current screen to your clipboard, you still need to *paste* it into another program.

Thanks, will try it out. And will show you when I get some screenshots!
And Cassini - The Sims is a game in which you can build neighbourhoods, make up families, make up people's personalities, then make them do social interactions, friendship, love, hatred, marriage, etc. Now The Sims 2 is out as well, but I don't want it... I have The Sims original with almost all the expansions, so I'll keep it.

Bloo is tickling Mac while Frankie (she doesn't look quite good here) - omg, it took me ages to make out her dress! - is standing near. Sorry it's small! I'll get some more soon!

You can definitely tell it's Frankie with enough magnification. I'm sold, I'll pick up the game after my wallet cools down from the holiday.

Picked up and installed the Sims 2 today. I wish I'd bought it years ago, 'cause it's pretty amazing. I hope I can master it quickly because I have GOT to build a Foster's of my own!

The Sims 2 has to be great, but, as for Foster's, I think the old one is better, 'cause in The Sims 2 people grow, get older, and die. Imagine: Bloo grows up and Mr. Herriman and Madame Foster die, while Frankie turns into an olddd lady...
