"The Sims?"

You know what? This gaming stuff is not easy at all!! I went back in to The Sims tonight. I started looking for my first family, the Clarks. I could not find them anywhere so...I created a new family, The Koss family. This time I only created Ken and his wife Kandy. Last time I had some children in the mix but too many people made it more confusing for me. After I created my new family, I went to the neighborhood and wanted to build myself my own home. I can't find the right comments to build my own home. I think I bought the land, but that is it. Maybe I have no money and I need a job? Oh, and guess who else I found in my neighborhood? The Clark family! What do I do now? I have two families and only one home. I really feel like in order to learn and understand these games, you must play them at least eight hours a day! Each time I get back on my game, I feel very frustrated. It does not come natural to me. I decided to take a break for tonight. I hate to sound so hopeless, but this gaming is tough work!!

Debby,
you should automatically get money when you create your "family".
I think you should try the tutorial. It REALLY helped me. It explained (by making you click on each icon) what everything meant.
Next time you get on the game, see if you can get to the tutorial.
I am much less frustrated now that I went through it.

It was definitely a good idea to start over with less people. a family of 4 is nearly impossible to keep happy! In my opinion, you'd have to be a master at instant multitasking to do well.
