I will confess; confess that I have committed a Sin. I murdered the life out that little unsuspecting Sim!

I confess that I don't play the game. Oh, I download content- especially if it's something that I was thinking of making myself. But I don't play it. Nope. I have one lot with a sim and the only thing she ever gets to do is test my stuffs. In my defense, I DO try. I'll load up the game to test something and keep playing for a bit. But sooner than later, I'm exiting the game and going back to MilkShape, SimPE, whatever program I need. And I DO like to build and decorate.. on a simless lot. That counts, right?!?

I confess that when I first got TS2, I thought it was so much like a hoax with all the weird stuff going on, sims just made, burning up the whole family the moment they move into a lot from CAS, as!wipe kids that wouldn't do their homework because school had totally wiped them out. Most of the sims didn't seem to want to ever do anything without whining and fighting and trapping themselves in the bathroom. Most of the households I tried to watch before trying to play them - watching is scary. The sims could now do stuff more autonomously, yes. The graphics better, yes. The sims smarter, hell NO!
I thought the game was supposed to be a life simulation, not a crazy simulation.
TS2 seemed more like "your life after taking/snorting/smoking/shooting up very bad or tainted drugs" type of hoax.
Being the very untrusting type of person that I am, I confess that I suspected that all the craziness was to distract me from the game's REAL purpose, which was some kind of psychological experiment and that the game was somehow scoring and watching and recording my reactions and reporting them to some entity online. I honestly was compelled to watch my DSL modem lights all the time when the game was running because I was so sure that something was going on. It made me feel like a lab rat in a cage.
So, here I was feeling disgusted by the game and paranoid and then, one of the sims turns and looks at me as if to say, "Private eyes, we're watching you!"

Oh well, I have a cc confession too like you guys. I have 1.2GB of CC's and mods installed in my game. But I'm not using them almost in my game. xD Then, when my game hangs up. I'm so irritated even I know It is caused by high polys of my items in game. xD
I play sims from the rime I wake up until late night i'm on my lappy playing sims and surfing the net for my sim related addictions... xD

This account is mostly used by my sons to download CC now, if you see me active, it's probably just them!

Sometimes I wonder where the undo button has gone... And shouldn't I be able to scroll along the edges of my vision?! I want to see behind that wall, damnit! Stupid real life!
Edit: Sorry, are these confessions of a CC addict? In that case, I confess that my downloads folder scares me. It has almost 18,000 files, and my evil doppelganger won't let me delete any of them.
I just wanted to purge the damn folder, even had it scanned with SimPE for health and mesh/recolor issues. Seems that SimPE conspires with my evil doppelganger, claiming that there's nothing wrong with my CC.
This is why I ran to MTS - I couldn't bear to start the game and wait forever till it loads.
Do my Sims really need 5613 clothes recolors?!

Oddly enough, I have never dreamed about the Sims. I'm surprised really...I've sure played them enough. And many of them are so real to me, like if I met them on the street, I would know them immediately.
So my confession? I'm weird. :-)
(Although I'll bet that most of us hardcore Simmers have a teeny tiny screw loose...)

I confess that even though I've got close to 400 mods I still downloaded 3 new ones today, oh and one new hair (I blame that recent favorite hair thread for that though). I didn't even know I needed them until I saw them. At some point I will have the perfect game, I'm sure of it.

So how long you got, Father Sim?
I confess that in the five years since I started playing, I have created hundreds of neighbourhoods, and only two have survived past the loading screen.
I confess that the first version of one of those two hoods was utterly destroyed by my then-newbie cluelessness, including mixing incompatible mods (out-of-date ones included), fiddling around with boolprop, and playing on a slow slow Mac OS X named Terry so I couldn't run the patches. Eventually I had to relocate to the family computer downstairs that I have to share with my brother.
(As a side note, yes I do name my computers, and - coincidentally fitting into the 'confessions' theme here, I refer to the one I play on now as 'Digidevil' because the first time we scanned it for corrupt files, there were exactly 666 errors..)
I confess that I have hardly played in the last year due to many failed attempts to learn to make my own CC so I can get my game to look exactly the way I wanted. I'm only now starting to get back to playing.
I also confess that not playing has caused several nervous breakdowns.
I confess that I once went to my high school costume party in casual clothes with a cardboard plumbob strapped to my head.
I confess that on my birthday this year, at 5:59PM, I glanced at the clock and immediately thought 'Oh no! I'm going to age in a minute!'
And that I have - more than once - accidentally switched channels on the TV by pressing 3 on the remote to try and speed up the ads.
I confess that I carry four chunky ring binders full of Sim-related stuff with me when I'm playing. Four.
I confess that I get so attached to my Sims that when Sena, founder of my oldest hood, died, I couldn't listen to the song that was playing on her stereo at the time for the next three years.
Need I go on?

I have to make a saving throw to dress my fit male sims in anything but tight jeans and a tank top, even in the middle of winter. Something about the pelvic animation with that particular combination is just - yowza!
Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.

I already had most of them. Couldn't resist that super cute TS3 conversion by Marja though. Only hairstyle with a hat I've ever liked.

I'm so with you on this one. Although it's usually one of Fanseelamb's tight T-shirts instead of a tank top. Yowza, indeed.

I went on a custom content download binge yesterday.
I don't know why. I guess I got sad thinking about how fan created sims sites eventually die, and I thought "who wants good game performance anyway? I have to SECURELY STORE all this stuff before it DISAPPEARS from the web!"
Oh well, it could have been worse. At least I've dumped everything on an aptly named folder ("Unnecesary download binge") so I know what to delete if I feel guilty. But hey, I got some cool, "necessary" stuff too. So it was sort of worth it.

I'm even worse than you, I don't actually have Sims 2 installed any more but I still HAVE to download cool stuff! Today I downloaded this, last week it was some seasons neighbourhood trees. I have several hard drives full of stuff I must reinstall the game to test out, it's like an illness!

o. o woah, i'm not saying its bad but why would you download stuff when you don't actually play the sims 2 anymore? I mean since you have it uninstalled off your computer?
