Second wife

I had never played Sims until it was recently on sale for the price of free. I played a game that is true to real life, but also far from it. Sims 4 is probably a game with many glitches, which may be how I got my first female house mate.

I first started a game as a teen, but that was no fun, or maybe I didn't explore ways to make money. The second game, I started as a feminine walking guy with pink pants named Lenny Kravitz. When you first start the game, you have neighbours wanting to come over to welcome you. One of mine got invited to move in, because she got stuck behind my bed, and since I could not control her, I could not get her out. There was no way for me to see her stats, but from her complaining, it seemed she really needed to pee, to eat, and to sleep.

I either had or levelled up my charisma until I could ask her to move in with me. She was unemployed, so I guess it was beneficial to her as well. Later, when I already had three desktop computers, I had her write children's books as well, such as Monsters Don't Do Drugs, a tale of drug overdose and how to say no. Because of the computers, all three house occupants had programming and gaming skills, because I decided they would much rather game than watch TV for fun. My fourth also rather immediately learned gaming skills. They also all learned handiness, because things broke down frequently, even the computers. And we didn't want to hire the service, because the social one learned he was a clumsy kleptomaniac. Besides, my girlfriend only got electrocuted once.

My, or rather Lenny's, love for computers started off by accident, really. Lenny started as a freelance artist, but I could not figure out how to do his job. Then we got invited to a party, where there was a computer. He could chat with the client there, and then I bought him a computer, and a sketchpad. I would have bought the rest of the computer either way, probably, but all the sims that game over started to game and it was hard to get Lenny to do his job. So, there was this computer area with two desks facing each other, and a third against the wall, and much of the socialising got done when they were all sitting behind the computers.

I ended the game without saving because I fucked up, but also because it was no fun after some time. I saw that I could flirt with the girl I had met as a kid, which started because my social one needed to introduce herself to different people, so she randomly introduced herself to people on the street. I liked Louise's red her, and Summer frequently invited her over. I did not woohoo with Louise until we had broken up with my girl, and by that point, Lenny was getting so old he had to be seduced, because I could not do much as him, as he always had three sleep commands lined up, and also he could not cook anymore, because everything smelled. On the other hand, it made Louise very happy.

My flirting made my girlfriend sad, and she was already frequently gloomy, as she was so goth her name was Cassandra Goth. Eventually I probably made it up, but I could not woohoo with her, but later I discovered it may have been the violin I bought her that was blocking the path to our bed from my side. Before all that, however, she had worked herself up from 32 to 78 dollars per hour, and was promoted from a call centre receptionist to project manager. Lenny also programmed an exciting MMO from home.

This kind of gaming was my first, since it was 25 hours straight. Although I stated at 2am, it was after some sort of sleep. Yes, this kind of gaming is dangerous, and no, I don't mean that I am 36, and so old my heart can't take it. In case any of you, younglings, thought that. There are cases of younger people dying like that, one was even only 22 hours. But, I was well hydrated, in the form of green blueberry tea, and in addition to some chocolate, since my sims frequently made vegetarian dumplings for breakfast, luck, and dinner, I made myself some dumplings as well. Mine had meat in it though, and I am not sure whether the game only had this option, or they were all vegetarians. Maybe it was the former though, as they were making omlets and also some meat products.
