Sims talk: sim ranting

[strangetomato]

Hey, I just posted a rant at sim_rants. It was my very first one. Isn't that wild? I just thought I'd share. (It's a slow news day.)

If you aren't a member of the comm, the rant was just about how I get irritated when people fail to name fortune sims by their correct name. I know... it's pretty important stuff, right? :P I can't lie, though... it irritates the crap out of me.

I like when a fortune sim is really poor, and they want to buy little things like curtains and flowers for their yard. It's cute (and realistic). They need the appearance of respectability as much as the actual cash flow.

That's how I see them too, and it really does work for those sorts of characters, whether it's an appreciation of "the good life" or more blatant "keeping up with the Joneses." I can see a fortune sim spending their last simolean on a vase of flowers, just so they can feel rich in spirit.
