After a bit of technical trickery, I have succesfully loaded The Sims 2 on my computer. Having never played before, last night was a comedy of errors.
Patrick (Dempsey) Scandal - is a big whiney baby who is too fussy to take a shower when someone else is in it. He had a nervous breakdown when the kitchen caught on fire (more on that later) and had to be coddled by the therapist. When he sleeps he dreams a lot about Kate.
Kate (Beckinsale) Scandal - doesn't like anybody and argues a lot. She can't cook and as a result set the kitchen on fire. Fortunately, she knows how to use a fire extinguisher. After that she smelled a lot, but she couldn't take a shower because Patrick was in there.
Matthew (McConaughey) Scandal - actually looks more like Owen Wilson. He likes to flirt with the neighbors - male and female - but is otherwise a lazy good-for-nothing who naps on the couch a lot.
Scarlett (Johansen) Scandal - eats and pees a lot. She also falls asleep on her feet and missed her first day on the job as a team mascot. Her boss called to complain. When she's awake she yells at me a lot.
LL Cool (J) Scandal - seems to be the only one who cleans and who answers the door when the neighbors come over. He won't let anybody else sleep with him, though. He has a job as a dishwasher and actually made it to work the first day because I was zoomed out enough to notice the car pool pull up.
Jenny (McCarthy) Scandal - likes to jump up and down on the furniture, and also pees a lot. She seems to be the only one who will take out the trash, get the mail, and get the newspaper. She fights a lot with Matthew and LL.
They're all in a massive state of unfulfilled depression. But since my friend just gave me the cheat code for unlimited money, I suspect that will be taking a turn for the better in the near future.
Man, all this work and I just want them to have sex with each other.
