The icon says it all (with a smile)

Don't ask me why I was so dedicated to the task of making an icon with Ripp giving you all the finger, but once the idea popped into my head, it became a personal challenge (and you never know when something like that could come in handy, right?). Sim hands are ridiculously stumpy and lacking in detail, so it looks pretty goofy and a little like one of those foam sports hands that fans wave, but I think it came out looking okay, don't you?

The stupid grin keeps it playful, so even when used to tell someone to sit on it, it doesn't appear overly aggressive. I can easily imagine Johnny on the receiving end of this gesture, instead of, say, Tank. 

I have writer/simmer's block. Can you tell?

Oh, I see. I was like, "Who the hell is ELMBER?!"

Just don't let it happen again. *points to icon*

My sincere apologies! :D

My biggest fear has been realized, Ripp gave me the finger. ;_;

So, if I do it again, do you go into aspiration failure?

I will meet the sim shrink for the first time, yes. Then I'll start dancing with a lampshade on my head!

Oooh, that's my desperation action too. Are you a ~Pleasure~ sim?

Of course! I get all happy when I change into my pajamas. Also, I occasionally have the urge to jump on couches while juggling water bottles.

On a side note, I don't know why people hate pleasure sims so much, I love them. 8D

It's all about those little boosts in aspiration. *changes into pajamas*

I agree. The LTWs are a bit much, but I like their odd little whims.

They have the most random wants, it's hilarious. One of my favorites is "look at fish," so easily amused. :D

The fifty first dates one is pretty easy, if you have the help of a matchmaker. I know sometimes there are really hard ones like 100 first dates. (That's almost every sim in a neighborhood, I think. D:)

Yeah, and having them actually wanting to do things like watch TV and drink coffee is awesome too. It's realistic. Stay how from work is such a real want that people have.

I've done the matchmaker thing (with a guy who was married, so he could only do it while his wife was at work). I like that they don't have to be good dates. It's pretty funny.

100 dates?! I've never seen that before. It is an actually LTW, or just the impossible want that they roll after they go on so many dates (like have 10 kids)?

Yes, I love stay home from work!

I had to do that, too. I was surprised she never got caught. I was ~sneaky~ and made her end the date as soon as she got her date and go on another. That idea gave her many crap bags, though.

I think I saw it once, but I can't remember if it was a lifetime want. I remember seeing it in a legacy, it rolls occasionally, kind of like the "Earn 200,000 Simoleons" want.

Speaking of which, I looove Pleasure sims. Their silly little wants are so easy to fulfill. And I believe that's the reason why my 2 outgoing point Bunker likes to walk around in his underwear all day.

Frances gets the most random wants out of all of my pleasure sims. He recently rolled "spy at neighbors"! Guess he didn't think of the consequence of that. Oh yeah, he and Vidcund are best buds lemme tell ya. And he's quit two jobs because it's been in his want panel to do so. :P
