In the Sims 3
your sims grow old and die and your Sims kids take over.

Are you sure you were playing the Sims and not just, y'know, living?

Me and Vipros had a conversation about the merits or otherwise of brands of waterproof trousers
Much hilarity ensued.

It did feel like art imitating life when I was playing it I must admit.
I would genuinely love to hear of someone who's done well on the original Sims though. Even when I used the cheat and made my bloke a millionaire and filled every room in the house with priceless art and plasma screen teles he'd still cry and then top himself.

yeah my Sim in the original Sims kept crying
They've made it much less hard work in the new one, their mood bars don't decrease as quickly. The social one was such a pain on the old one, it would decrease constantly but you didn't have time to invite people over.
