Yey!!! My brother is now a newly-converted TS2 freak!

I share my Simmie stories with my RL friends.  I have one who asks me occasionally what they are up to and the latest storyline.  I was discussing the game a little the other day with a dear co-worker, and she surprised me by saying her 16 year old daughter is not only a Simmer, but make custom clothes!      I told her to have the girl e-mail me a link to where her clothes are so I could see them.  My friend says she has a website but didn't know where.

Heh. I showed this thread to my partner Richard (because I wondered whether Misty's husband is the same sort of geek that he is), and he said "This person's pleased that her brother's become a Sims 2 freak? Shouldn't we all be sending her black-edged cards saying 'Condolences on the loss of your brother'."

Well, I sort of gained him back with this new obsession after losing him for 2.5 years to Star Wars Galaxies! He actually comes around to our house now to talk about the game. Which is fun for me since noone else will listen to it...

You're lucky...I still have no one in real life to talk to about it.  Everyone I know thinks I spend far too much time playing "that damn game!"

I can talk to my kids about it, but as with you, my husband thinks I spend to much time on "that stooooopid game", he fails to see the point.

Seems 99% of hubbies see it that way, including mine.

He likes building houses but as there is no way to specify wall-thickness etc, it is not detailed enough for him.
But I haven't given up getting him to see the light yet.

Well, wall thickness is really unimportant given that there's no structural integrity and building thicker walls does not improve the ability of your building to withstand siege.
