So I bought the Sims 3 on Steam a few days back and started playing. I first created Sims based on me, Toby, and the cats* and played with them for a bit, but later on created Sims for Genghis, Jason, and Beecher from my late unlamented*** webcomic Can't Sleep Con Will Eat Me, and that's been way more fun. For those of you who remember them, Beecher's been striking out with the ladies, Jason's been doing remarkably well with them (i.e., not actively repulsing them), and Genghis has been grumpy and insulting everyone.
They don't have a whole lot of money as I decided the first thing three young men rooming together right out of college would do is blow all available cash on a TV and a sweet stereo system. Beecher's the only one with a full-time job (law enforcement, as I figured his dad would get him a job, plus his ultimate desire is to be a Super Spy and he needs to work his way up through the ranks for that), Jason's working at a bookstore part time, and Genghis is currently a barista at a spa during the afternoons**** while picking up some extra cash hacking overnight.
In this picture, all three of our protagonists got up in the middle of the night to have an argument, precipitated by me not buying a third bed. Genghis and Beecher immediately took the two beds over and Jason shouted at them, went and napped fitfully on the couch, then shouted at them again until they got up to argue back.
Beecher would normally sleep in the buff, but that's not an option in the Sims. :) I think Jason and Genghis are quite glad at that state of affairs.
I did eventually take pity on Jason and buy him a bed. Which Beecher immediately took over, leaving his old bed for Jason.

* Humans, as SIms Pets isn't out yet. :) I was dressing human Nefer up in stripes to match her namesake's fur and didn't realize how Gothy I was making her. However, she's the only one in the household who has any sense.**
** Toby's Sim set the stove on fire while making mac and cheese, and the rest of us, including two random houseguests, stood around panicking until Nefer got the fire extinguisher and put it out.
*** Yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tprjones, I know.
**** Couldn't find anything else available that he'd take. He started as a Cash Register Specialist and has now worked his way up to barista. If they try to make him a masseuse or something, he's quitting.

I'd recommend Awesomemod for you, but it does not like Steam, and the author of it had too much trouble adapting it for Steam versions.

Ah well, thanks!

the drama over sims 3 CC is just hard to convey to someone else- we had someone calmly prove that someone else was stealing their lipgloss textures and selling them on a pay site (yes, there are sites that ask for money for custom content for a game you pay for). The accused flailed around, accused them of stealing *their* textures suddenly (supposedly by time travel, I guess), and then say, because she (the accused) was a good catholic, she'd *never* lie.
