Life Stages

[Parrot]

Does anybody else think there should be at least one more life stage
in the Sims 2? It's like the sims go from 30 to 70 in one step!

Yes, I agree. We need some middle aged sims. I'd love to see the women go
through menopause!

University is creating "Young Adult", so how about "Mature" for the
not-yet-retired crowd?

Mature sounds like a rating. "Middle Age" sounds better from a marketing
perspective. But oh yes, it has potential... Quickie divorce, leering at
the young coeds, Mrs. Robinson, the joys of menopause and Depends....
Maybe I'd better stop there.

You are right - this is Maxis and they will want to make the most of it - I
retract my Mature rating. lol

Yeah, and I think this is entirely too many life-stages for early-on.
Young adult, from what I've seen, isn't much different than teen. The
Gen-Xers at Maxis seem to think life is all about growth and change when
you're young, but once you get to be about 25 it's all the same till
you're an old foagie. Typical whipper-snappers! ;-)

Hey, that sounds great. Mrs. Robinson as an NPC?!? I'd buy that. You
could incorporate it into University, too. (Call it "The Graduate
Expansion Pack.") Picture it: Mr. R sitting atop a desk, legs out.
She says, "This grau is Frenchey." Male Sim says, "Mrs. Robinson,
you're trying to seduce me."

Not as an NPC- but I could BE Mrs. Robinson. Come 'ere little boy, and
let me polish off yer education...

It would great to see everyone's stories from there.

We should form a pressure group. Hasn't this been discussed before? Didn't
we come up with a name? Have we got any punch? Is it worth it when we are
outnumbered by bare belly-buttons.

And HOW can a adult Sim who has only been around for two days become 'a
pillar of the community?'
Huh.

Granny.

My Plastic-Patty is a delight with a thin, well-stretch face and
beee-ootiful pouty lips. <shudder>
