I got a random phone call saying I earned $2000 from my recent stock investments! Wohoo! And you can actually get a full night's sleep by sleeping on the couch. That said, the game has some fun surprises. And there is no eye dropper tool (seriously?) I find myself squinting at the menu trying to make out which tiles are carpet or wood.
Floor tiles and wallpaper not being categorized is also a huge pain. Sometimes you find something you kinda like, but you wanna see if you can find something better.if you don't find something better, you have to keep clicking to find that outfit you liked. This is especially a problem with all the expansions because there are so many options. Tapping through the clothing options is pretty irritating. My Sim's "room" need stayed on red the entire work day because there was a puddle of cat pee in the corner of my lot when they left for work in the morning. An eternity of going to school, doing homework, rinse, repeat.no weekends, no fun.never growing up.and if your grades drop, well, say goodbye to your family. I think Hell might be being reincarnated as a child in the Sims 1. My Sim kept trying to kiss his crush autonomously and kept getting rejected. If you don't keep an eye on your Sims they will muck up their relationships autonomously.
Relationships in general are harder to maintain. Forget to interact with your spouse for a few days because you're busy going to work, building skills, and maintaining the work friend requirement? Well your spouse no longer loves you. If your Sim is low-level in their career, you might spend half the day's wages on food. And the hilarious part is this happy music starts playing and my Sim does a happy dance when they sell their painting for 5 simoleons. My Sim is level 5 creativity and selling their paintings for 5 simoleons.
I thought I'd make my unemployed Sim make some extra cash by painting. So either read up on cooking, or your Sims will be starting a raging inferno on a regular basis (and even then they probably will.) Your Sims don't gain any cooking skill from cooking. You gotta water all plants, or they die. There are so many challenging aspects to this game that I forgot about. After ages of trying I finally got The Sims 1: Complete Collection to work on my computer.
