Today, my son was playing The Sims, when I saw him remove the door to a room and set it on fire with a Sim trapped inside. I chuckled at first, until I saw that the Sim was me. Meanwhile, my wife's Sim was happily painting in the next room, not giving a crap. All too accurate, sadly. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband of ten years was playing the Sims. I asked him about the house he built. Apparently, it was his dream house, and he recreated himself as a Sim so he could live in it. Then I asked him where the wife was. There was no wife. It was his happy place. FML
Today, after learning that my wife has been cheating on me, I decided to distract myself by playing The Sims. Not long after I began, my Sim's wife basically started cheating on him. FML
Today, I left my husband in charge of the house for a day. When I returned, I saw him gaming through the window, so I stormed in and yelled at him. Then, my eyes adjusted, and I saw the neatly folded laundry, clean kitchen, vacuumed rugs, and my son, who was asleep until I woke him. Whoops. FML
Today, I found myself crying for an hour when my recreated crush on The Sims 3 game rejected my character and ran off with someone else. FML
Today, I found out that my husband made a replica of our family on The Sims 3. I also found out he killed me off a couple weeks ago and made a new wife, KiKi. FML
Today, I woke up to find The Sims 2 running on pause on my laptop. I unpaused to find my character and my boyfriend's were no longer together. Slightly confused, I went on to find the note my boyfriend left. It said, "I hope you can take a hint." I got dumped through a computer game. FML
Today, I played The Sims just so I'd know what it was like to live alone, own a home, and have a well-paying job that didn't slowly kill me from the inside out. It was the happiest I've been in months. FML
Today, I just realized that my Sims character has a far more stable lifestyle than what I can ever have. FML
Today, while playing The Sims 2, I realized I had a virtual person's whole life planned out, and have nothing planned out for myself. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. He also decided the best way to end our relationship was to kill me and our virtual child on The Sims 3 by setting us on fire. FML

I could see him slowly turning around and smiling at you.

I laughed way more than I should have at this.

Am I the only one concerned that he came on FML while the room he's in is burning down?
SammyS2012 21
hes not in a burning room, his virtual sim was in a burning room

Are you the only one that didn't read the fml

I think this was sarcastic

Wouldn't the whole house just burn down anyway? Sorry not familiar with this game.
SammyS2012 21
you can make a small room in the yard thats unconnected to the house so the fire wont spread. not that i have experience torturing sims...

I enjoy making them swim in the pool, then deleting the ladders so they can't get out. Or deleting the whole pool so they swim around in cement. I don't know if they've fixed that glitch on the newer version, but that's how it was in the old one.

The walls won't set on fire. Just the furniture and any sims standing too close. To my knowledge anyway. I'm not 100% sure of the rules of fire but in the sims 1 if you have a piece of furniture within 2 spaces of a fireplace it could spontaneously combust. So I imagine any furniture within two spaces of any fire would be in danger, therefore spreading around the house from piece to piece. But the walls should be fine. I have never seen a burning house aside from the firefighter career in the sims 3. And even then the houses can't burn down. The windows and doors are on fire and you have to put them out/chop down the doors to save the people inside but you could leave the lot on fire and come back the next day if you wanted and it'd be fine.

To bad you can't drown them anymore

Actually.. At least in the sims 2.. I haven't tried it with the sims 3.. If you make a pool and make them swim to the center.. You can put walls up around the edges of the pool so they can't get out.

You can still drown them, by the means that the above comment describes. They may come back as a ghost dripping with water though, who swims through the floor. Also, I think there's an option to bring them back to life in the first 7 sim days after their death.

And this is precisely why I have always found those Sims games very creepy. I've seen Twilight Zone episodes that started like that.

What about the one with the little asshole kid that controlled the whole town with his mind? Every time I see that episode, I want to beat the **** out of that kid!

I would thank your son for helping you realize that you guys need to work on some family issues

Don't worry, that's pretty much how you're supposed to play Sims. There was probably a pool with no ladder waiting for your wife.
BunnyStar 14
Sims can get out of pools without ladders these days. You have to put the sim in the pool then build a wall around it.
blackonblight 33
What? They removed death by no ladder? I'm telling you, Sims died when Will left and Maxis became Eaxis became just EA ******** on games. I shall keep to my snobbery and play nothing beyond Sims 2. I mean, the custom content creators have Alexandrian conquest and torture items! With wound overlays! And funeral pyres. And all sorts of fun.
