I've been playing sims since about the time the sims livin' large expansion pack came out. I've been addicted ever since. In the past I've almost always played a family to represent my own life but with the all the new traits of the sims3 I find I actually like trying new things. Here lately I've been making neurotic and evil sims. Also up until now I've never allowed my sims to use their free will, it never seemed to really do any good. With free will in the sims3 though sims actually use those new traits and are fun to just watch, so I'm trying (its tough) to stop being so controlling over them and let them live the way they choose with minimal guidance.
