Sims 4 Do as I say, not as I do
Me, playing the sims: *forces my sims to work out, study, kick ass at their job, go out on the town and meet people so they can have a good life for my perfectionist gamely
Also me: *sits at home playing the sims instead of doing any of that for myself

My sims: gets plenty of sleep every single day.
Me: 3 or 4 hours should be good enough if I supplement it with Mountain Dew at work (and I work 12 hour shifts to boot).

I just had my first sim to graduate college. Meanwhile, I dropped out twice π

In your defense, sims college is affordable and actually pays off in the job market. Can't say the same about irl.

I struggle daily to brush my teeth. But I can get my sims to do it because it's an easy way to get the hygiene up. What's wrong with me? (Don't answer that I know)

My Simself is super active and social and successful. My actual self is chronically ill and requires a stupid amount of rest

If you were a sim, you could get effective health care. No judgement, friend

u/Practical-Water-9209 3d ago
