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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I just realized that my Sims character has a far more stable lifestyle than what I can ever have. FML
Today, I made a Sim of myself and had her work out until she was completely fit, then got her a job and a husband. Meanwhile, I sat at my desk, fat, single, and jobless. 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 spent a good hour playing a life simulation game so my character could go through the stages of pregnancy and labor, only to jealously cry for an hour because my character can successfully get pregnant and have a baby, and I can't. 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, 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
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, 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, I put more effort into getting and keeping my Sims onto a good sleep schedule in order to properly take care of their needs than I did for myself. FML
Today, not only can I not get a real boyfriend, I can't even get one on the Sims. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I could tell you to get off your fat ass and do something other then play sims, but then I'd be a hypocrite.

I freaking love Sims 2. I play it all the time, and it's just my relaxer. Some people chill out after work with tv, I chill out by making my Sims do their routines. I also am one of those players that has to be "in control", I never let them do what they want... pretty sad, I guess. :) I don't care though, because I love that game so. So excited for Sims 3!!!

Don't worry, life never goes as you plan it anyway, so don't beat yourself up about it. (Ok, things like "I'd like to get a job that doesn't make me want to kill myself" are good to do a little planning for, but don't go overboard planning your whole life)

Video games are acceptable for doing things you can't feasibly do in real life. Playing in the NFL, shooting aliens, etc. Getting a job, decorating your house, making friends...these are things you should be able to manage in the real world. Loser.

May I suggest that you try writing? If you're good at coming up with other peoples' lives and planning them out... all you need is a plot and you've got a story. =)

Boo-frickin-hoo. Lots of people don't know what they're doing in life.

Pft.... I agree with #123 - some people never work out what they wanna do. Besides, Sims is just a game, and lots of people like playing virtual things. I love playing shooters, but I'd never want to shoot someone in real life. Grow up...
