Disclaimer: I'm not a parent, but I play one on The Sims.
Sims are exasperating parents. They like to put their babies on the
floor and walk around them, even when the crib is nearby. I guess this
matches the mentality that puts dirty dishes on the floor even when
there's amply counter space in the room.
Sims, being that they have memories of gnats, like to do things like
pick up a crying baby intending to do change the diaper and wash the
baby, forget to wash the baby, put the baby on the floor and start
waving their hands in the air because they're hungry, forget they had
salmon in the oven before they started changing baby, have a fire break
out, have fireman come running in, nearly stepping on the baby, and then
go to sleep. It's amazing they breed at all. The dodo stood a better
chance against the forces of natural selection.
Then there's the baby itself. Do REAL babies have to have their diapers
changed THIS often??? Jesus Chrispas, the kid is nothing but a poop
machine. That's what Cassandra should have named her--Poop Machine
Goth. As it is, I chose Bella, named after Simville's most famous
nutcase. And the kid herself--a face only a mother with serious myopia
trouble could love. I'm not kidding, it looks like something from the
reptile house at the zoo. Have other of y'all mated your Cassandras
with your Darren Dreamers and if so, has the baby been something out of
Friday the 13th, Part XXVIII?
Then there's the odd fact that my Cassandra Sim has the family
aspiration, which is why I tried to hard to get her married and pregnant
(suceeding at only half), yet it's Dina Goth, with the money
aspirations, and now-teenager Alexander Goth (with stubbe and goatee),
with the popularity aspirations, who spend all their time taking care
of, playing with, cuddling, and changing the baby. Cassandra spends
most of her time playing video games upstairs and fighting with Dina.
(And why is it that so many of us seemingly have hooked up our Dina
Calientes with Mortimer? Not Gina, who in my game just had a [flawless]
marriage to Don Lothario, complete with honeymoon. But it seems like
the Dina/Mortimer combination is a natural. I even had Dina bleach her
already-phony hair blonder. She wears nothing but tight jeans and tank
tops for Morty. --Is that a rocket in his gymsuit or is he just glad
she went on a spending spree at the Jordache store?) Anyway, the
trouble with everyone else constantly playing with the baby is that the
damned thing never gets to sleep. Every time Cassandra sets Bella down
quietly in the crib and tucks her in some other idiot comes over and
picks her up again and starts doing the "hochie-coochie-smoochie" thing.
It's not easy to get a Sim to voluntarily come by when the thing is
green and stinky from a wet diaper, though. I guess some things are the
same in the Sim as well as real world.
Sigh...how many days before the thing morphs to the next stage? Not
that that'll be any easier.
