5 Weird Things We've All Done While Playing The Sims

IBTimes UK

1. Created a Sims family consisting of yourself and your crush.

If you have ever played the Sims, you have done this. I would not believe anyone who says otherwise. Yeah, I can see how this could be seen as slightly creepy but if you don’t tell anyone...

2. Built a wall around your Sim character or removed the ladders from the pool for whatever reason.

This is pretty morbid, I’m not going to lie. But it’s another thing that all Sims players seem to have done at least once. You know, just to see what would happen. Spoiler alert: Your Sim will die.

3. Evict rich families from their lavish houses only to use the motherlode cheat to move your own Sim family into the house.

Anyone who gets a thrill out of evicting families from their house in real life is pretty crooked. But some of the mansions on the Sims are so nicely built and lavishly furnished… It’s hard not to take advantage of the eviction option!

4. Made your Sim character cheat on their partner to spice up the drama.

Please don’t cheat on your significant other. Ever. Unless it’s on the Sims and you’re looking to add a little more drama to your character’s life.

5. Became ALMOST convinced that your Sims life was your actual life... Which includes speaking like a Sim.

Five-star celebrity rockstar? World renowned surgeon? Top chef? Filthy stinkin’ rich? You name it, you can become it on the Sims. But if you're going to live like a Sim, you have to speak like a Sim! "Ooooh DABEE DOOH!" After hours of playing time, it’s easy to become so incredibly involved in your game that you begin to think it’s real life. That’s when you know it’s time to quit playing for a while.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
