Sims 3

I recently picked up Sims3. I knew about what to except because I have played a little bit of Sims2.

This is really a great game. It seems like it is easier to do the tasks that are needed in an everyday sims life, especially not having to go to the bathroom every 5mins.

I just want to play the game and see what it does. That is enough challenge for me so I found a nifty little cheat and walla I'm reach. My main Sim Alex works at the hospital and is a partner in the local dinner. The money does not matter to me cause I like watching all the interactions and charter motions. Alex has expaned his house in preparation for a family. Its a nice two story I built on the existing house. Then I kinda cheated again. I made his wife with traits that would put them together faster, moved her and her twin sister (different traits) in next door. Alex meets Lissa (future wife) and sis Kaylee.

Well as predicted Alex and Lissa hit it off and along comes baby Jenny Kay. Shes grown a little now and is in the toddler stage.

I just can't believe all those animations they have in there for the different things. Playing the guitar, Foss ball, Play catch. Mom gets in floor with baby to play and read, put baby to bed and they give her a kiss. Great stuff. You should see the family teaching Jenny Kay to walk. I have to much fun with the family and have problems with keeping the friends, but that's not a big concern of mine.

I have turned ageing off because I want my sims to be able to learn a lot of the different things like cooking, music, writer, and art to name a few. The collecting thing is a nice addition to. So far I have a few butterflies and two Gems.

I also like all the things you can buy in game or download from the Internet. All those nice clothes and stuff for the house. I wish they had a more varied toddler clothes. Which brings me to what would I liked added to the game. While if you go on the Sims3 Forums they've got all kinds of things listed. I myself wouldn't mind the following: skate board for kids, scooter, motorcycle, pool table, ping pong, other musical instruments that even the Child can use and, a Pet (no control by user) besides a fish in a bowel,

Well that's about it. I've got to go and play my sims. This is to addicting.

What Parents Need to Know about Video Games

I've got a good source about Video addiction. This two part audio discussion tales that Video game producers prey on children. It is much easier for kids to become addicted then the adult all though adults can be affected also.

They say when games start taking the place of normal things kids like to do then there is a problem. Some of the games focus on the bad side like Grand Theft Auto. Others allow you to chose to be bad or good. Some games make you feel you are the one in the game playing. These games are so intense that you will spend hours playing trying to level you character or get the next upgrade.

After a time you start dreaming and even find yourself thinking what you are going to do next when you can get back to your game. Soon all your spare time is taken up with playing your game. You become anti-social and stay home. "I'm married? Oh when did that happen."

Don't get me wrong all software is not bad. You don't have to get ride of your computer or console. Just manage what you have. Get rid of violent games. Limit game time for the kids or yourself.
