This has nothing to do with knitting and everything to do with Sims and Writing

I know, it's a rare thing to not be writing about knitting but I have to get this out there.

I have been playing The Sims 2 since the day it came out.  I was right there, as soon as EB Games opened, asking the manager if they unpacked the box with the game yet.  Much to my dismay, he tells me that they hadn't even received the box yet.  Every break that I had at work that day, I was back at the store to see if the shipment came in.  That alone, tells you how much I love this game.

I love playing neighbourhoods, especially ones of my own creation.  I've done about 3 major ones (I had blogs for 2 of them which are still available to read - just look through my profile).  And I've lost each one of them due to computer crashes that were "beyond my control".  My mind is always thinking about major neighbourhoods when it comes to the Sims.

I have been going through withdrawal   My DVDrom drive has decided it no longer wants to be a part of the computer system.  Everything else works well but the drive won't open and the rare times that it does, it's not even acknowledged in Explorer.  Therefore I don't have the option of installing the games. Therefore again, I have spent extra time, thinking about this neighbourhood I want to create called simply "The Complex".

The Complex will be loosely Dystopian society.  I haven't yet decided if it will be completely underground or above ground but indoor  I'm still in the middle of making up the laws that rule this society and the reason they live like they do.  I have a decent amount of my own sim pool that I can make my starter sims from.  I may or may not have a blog about it but I won't be able to do anything other than theorize until I can install the game.

In the mean time, I can go over the pool of sims I do have, and based on memory, write about them living life in the Complex.  You never know, it could end up being something big. {insert winky emoticon here}

If anyone wants to, you can read the bare basics, that I plan to be continually update, here: The Complex.
