Whoever said that is right. :) Bu..."Know thyself"! Whoever said that is right. :) But I read your profile and this really is so much up your alley. You can write and direct. Even make movies of your stories. The game really is quite incredible. It can be a family experience as well.<BR/><BR/>That said, I too plunge quite a bit into current projects (for example, setting up my blog template, learning to code, etc). I have the Sims (and all the expansion packs of the previous series now) and I love the flexibility of the game. But I haven't had time to play in months! It *is* self control but also the realities of lack of time and pressing priorities.<BR/><BR/>When I do get to play, it's a reward for meeting deadlines, or when I really need something else on my mind to help me de-stress. Really works for me. Another friend rewards herself for meeting deadlines and getting through a workweek by allowing herself to play on weekends. All our schedules are different for sure.<BR/><BR/>How I got here? I just made an entry (23 May) in my blog about the Sims and (as part of my other work) I follow up on how people reach various sites I have built. You have a momentary listing in <A HREF="http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&q=sims%202" REL="nofollow">blogsearch.google</A> which brought me here. :)<BR/><BR/>Not speaking as a devil's advocate, but I'd encourage you to try the game and this is coming from someone who also gets thoroughly absorbed in things. You have a lot of responsibilities and I doubt you'll shirk them. You'll also be able to develop your other love -- creating characters, settings, and formulating stories. <BR/><BR/>What a wonderful Mother's day gift! Yay!
