This week, before I looked for cheats, I decided to play the game using "their" people. Maybe it would be easier. WRONG! I started the game using two roomates, Chris and Melissa. They asked me if I wanted to buy a home? "Yes," I said, "we need a place to live." Well, I am still looking for my home. I searched, and searched all over the grounds and there were no buildings at all. Ok, then I'll try building a home. I began hitting buttons, and before long I had a pile of dirt. Now what? I'll try building up some walls. I started hitting some more buttons, before long my home had walls that were actually fences! Alright, where is the delete button? I cannot find it anywhere. So I carried on. Now I have this wonderful pile of dirt with fences around it.
(Ha-Ha!) I think I need some landscaping. Some flowers here and a couple of bushed in front of may pile of dirt. WOW! Look what I have created? NOTHING!! Hey, how are my girl's doing? Melissa is friendly and speaks well to her friends, Chris is crying and moaning. Does anyone have a job? Maybe that's why I could not buy or build a home? Guess what I decided to do? Just like Laurence, I hit the quit button. Ended that mess. I just did not know where else to go.
Next week I need to ask for HELP! Maybe my son or daughter could spare an hour to show me a thing or two. This week I am walking away as frustrated as I felt on the first week. I did not have the opportunity to get on the computer during the week. I am feeling very behind and lost. I recently read an article that said you need to spent at least 25 hours on a game to begin to understand it. For me, that might be more like 50 hours!

I'm impressed you tried to build your own house. cool, a fence around a mound of dirt! I doubt I could do that!!! How sad is it that we are excited at our Sims' death, slapping each other and a fence around a mound of dirt!!!lol!!! To us that's improvement, to our kids, we're sad and pathetic.
But isn't the goal learning and frustration? Isn't that the most thoughtful learning? I guarantee we'll remember this better than how to log into Blackboard (which I can't remember how to do!).
You have to remember to take a step back and look at how you've improved. You and I have entered a world that we would otherwise not have. We've learned, oh how we've learned...and better yet, we had fun!
