Second Life

It’s a good thing that I bought “The Sims 2” for the pc version even though many people have jumped out to play the newest installment. I used to play the original game when I was younger when it first came out in 2000, but I normally end up boring due to the lack of feature in the game.

On the other hand, “The Sims 2” is much more fun and real comparing to the previous one. Almost everything in the game has improved for the better where you can create your sim in multiple choices from hair to face, from eyes to mouth and etc. I also like the fact that your sim will eventually die in old age once their time has come, just like in REAL LIFE! To avoid game over, you must either adopt a baby or give birth to a new life if you’re married to an opposite sex. By doing this, your family won’t get cut out. Instead, it will continue your family’s generation over and over again.

I created a male sim whom I named him as Adrian Mars. It’s very obvious that he was named after me (Deric Adrian Loh) and Mars was taken from a video game character, Ethan Mars from "Heavy Rain". I first started off as a middle class single man where my account only got 20.000. But once a rich chick named Marisa came to my house, I already know who should Adrian marry to, lol.

The Mars Family's second house.

Yeah, they did marry in the end after a hard work of flirting, kissing and dating. Since there were two of them now, I need buy a bigger house in case if another new family member joins in. Luckily, by the amount of my account along with Marisa’s, I’m able to afford a fine 3-storey house for my family.

Adrian's teaching baby Cassidy to talk.

Weeks after weeks, the married couple welcomed their first born daughter, Cassidy Mars, named after the female lead character from a movie called "Sorority Row” . Having a baby is like hell where your sims normally focus on the baby more than themselves, causing them suffering from stressfulness, insomnia and so on. Marisa was fired from her job due to her average work and lack of consciousness; Leaving only Adrian to support his family. I had no choice but to hire a nanny, but it seems totally useless because I only saw the nanny wanders around the house in her baba nyonya outfit rather than doing her job.

This is how Marisa looks like when she gets pregnant and ready to give birth, lol. Take notice on the second picture and try to imagine that she's singing Wen's limited edition of "Poker Face" XD

Cassidy's looking after baby Sebastian (moral value of the day: Kasih Sayang) XD

A week later, Cassidy has grown up to kid status which makes thing much easier. However, they welcomed their second daughter in no time, Cheryl Mars, named after the female lead character from “Silent Hill 3”. Hell has reopened again. Fortunately, Cassidy has become a teenager where she could help her parents look after her sister. The bad thing is, the game has increased its difficulty since I need to look after a total of 4 sims.

The third and probably the youngest member of the house joined in right after Cheryl has grown up to kid. This time is a boy whom I named him as Sebastian Mars, named after a minor movie character from “Marley & Me”. Since my family has upgraded to a total of 5 members, I decided to build and design my own mansion. It’s still currently under construction, though.

The upcoming Mars Mansion!
