The Sims Comes to Life

I've been an aficionado of The Sims ever since Will Wright launched the game in the souk. I can put in the picture the stories of Goths and Bella’s whereabouts, the Pleasant family, the Landgraab, etc. I know how the game works, the expansion packs, the cheats, and all the related stuff. Evidently, through Sims, I release my obsession for architecture and interior-design.

To make the daily living of my sims impressive, I cheated the game using the “rosebud” or “motherlode” code. Doing so raised my purchasing power to buy back the downloaded pieces of furniture from the internet. To get the beautiful and exceptional items, a simmer needs an account in PayPal or, for direct purchases, credit card. If you don't go to the download sites that I just mentioned above then you really don't have a clue of how favored you are when that plastic money is on-hand.

Prodigious items equal real money. Free items mostly have flaws. They crash your game, or sometimes they don't fit. You have to wallow in your success if you got an item that works! To be honest, downloading a nice simpack won't be like a piece of cake.. Accept it without reserve. There is a demand; these makers come profitable because we pay. Like it or not, we are expected to purchase for a fee.

Sims comes to life. A month or so, my family and I will be moving into a new home. My mom and I are doing most of the planning. In reality, it's never easy. At first, I thought you just have to bring-in furnitures and you're done. But it is truly stressful! Think about getting the contractors and workers, choosing which furnitures match and what doesn't, the expenses (I am dead serious about this!), unending errands, application for telephone, cable, etc.

There are tons of things to do! It's not like the Sims where you just create and play. Considering the "now", we are faced with the real the-pre-moving-to-a-new-house thing. It's easier if only I can use "rosebud" or "motherlode". Obviously, it's impossible. Ideally, we have to work hard to earn money! And budgeting is necessary to keep things up. But I am really thankful. Despite these fun challenges, I am thankful because God blessed our family with a new home. I can see His promises being fulfilled. When He makes a promise, He will make it come to life for He is constant. Truly, God will unfold a new life chapter in 2011!
