Is nothing sacred?

I guess the orginal was just too clean and simple. It needed to be more complicated and MOAR XTREME.

Ugh. I hate bad design.

...why would you do that, EAxis? D:
I've only poked a little at Sims 3, and it does have some nifty things (including some of the easter eggs; have you seen Murder in Pleasantview by Alexander Goth? :P), but killing the woohoo heart?? Just no.

(And as for the teaser in your other post, I have nothing to say except "Oooo, drama llamas. :o" )

Wait... tell me it's not a work by a sim who hasn't been conceived yet and there's another Alex in the family.

[will-o-whisper.livejournal.com]

I haven't exactly played a lot, so there might be another Alex running around, but it does indeed seem to be a book about a place that doesn't exist, by a person who hasn't been born yet.

After hearing about time traveling Don, I'm inclined to think the book is from the ~future~.

See, EA should totally hire me to write for them. They obviously wouldn't mind my occasional continuity errors, MacGuffins, etc. They LOVE that stuff.

[will-o-whisper.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean it really makes a lot of sense if you think about it. You've got these little continuity errors that are so big you'd think they'd be impossible to miss. From all reports you also seem to have canon proof with Don that time travel is possible; it's also worth pointing out that of the people who could have been shot back in time, it was Don. Now, I love him dearly but let's be honest, he's not exactly the sort of sim who's going to be conscientious of not stepping on ants or breaking up couples or otherwise not messing with history.

Clearly strange things are afoot at the Circle K in the Sim-verse, and it seems to me that the only logical conclusion is that someone is trying to break history. That's why you can't possibly play The Sims 3 to properly match the canon established in Sims 2; history has been changed. :P

Ohnoes, html fail. D: It should read like this:

I think you've found their "out" for the prequel alternate histories. Well done. :P Don would do something terrible like impregnate his great grandmother without knowing it.

I hope he meets himself. I bet he would think he was an idiot. I'd be hate at first sight.

(Oh, if only... writing for a game would be such a dream job.)

Don would do something terrible like impregnate his great grandmother without knowing it.
That would be funny except for the part where it's entirely possible, even likely. D: Wouldn't that be the way? The entire space-time continuum destroyed, because one man couldn't keep it in his pants. :P

As much as I would love the idea of Don meeting himself, I don't think there's anyway in which that would work out...I've been under the impression that he's pretty close in age to Cassandra (and he does start TS3 as young adult), and both Bella and Mortimer McGrumpyface are children at the start of the game. So you figure, Don's parents are probably still really young too. He's probably not even a spermy yet. Then again, given the respect EA seems to have for time lines, nothing's impossible I guess. :') He would definitely hate himself, though, I agree. It's definitely a meeting I'd be interested in seeing.

(It really would be. I've wanted to write for RPGs since I was, like, ten and first played Baldur's Gate 2 /*dork*)
