Yesterday, I dinged 17 before lunch. That's my entire Levtober update for the day. I haven't been sticking to the plan. I've been questing and tradeskilling and generally messing around. I don't think I have it in me to just grind and level.
After lunch, my husband drove me to the grocery store and when we came back, I fell into all the usual domesticity. Dishes were washed. Dinner was made. Homework was reviewed. We were going to have family movie night, but the kids opted to take the popcorn and play the PS2 version of The Sims 2 instead.
I haven't really played the PS2 version, but I have watched it played a lot. I think I prefer the PC version. Half the fun for me is in seeing my sims get married, have kids, have grandkids, and die, leaving the new generations to carry on. It is one of the few things that has stayed on my harddrive for a long time. I don't even have a single expansion, and yet it holds my interest. I've considered getting Seasons, but the memory of expansions to The Sims (without the 2) changing the game and making the performance worse over time. As long as the game is still entertaining, I think I'll pass on changing it.
Expansions to MMORPGs aren't quite as optional as they are for single player games. You can refuse to get the expansion, but due to the very social nature of the games, you're often going to pay for that decision in lost opportunities to play with people who did buy the expansion. When an expansion includes new must-have skills or a rise in the level cap, you can hardly say no. I have ended up buying otherwise horrid expansions for just those sorts of reasons.
I have a cold coming on. I think I want to go put on my fuzzy slippers (not bunny, but comfy anyway), make myself some tea, and read a book. My toddler has a stuffy nose too, so maybe I'll put her in warm jammies and we'll get under a blanket on the couch while I read and she watches all the Dora and Diego she can stand.
It looks like I will still be level 17 tomorrow.
Hehe, I'm still 11, 10, 7 and 4. I just cant deside if I want to be a mage, bard, beastlord or necro.
I think mage or necro will win.
After 63 levels of ogre warrior back in the day, I'm pretty much done with pure melee.
Wed Oct 10 2007 10:59AMI still have the original Sims 2, also, with no expansions. I've been holding out for that Ultimate/Deluxe/Gold/Platinum Edition that these games always come out with. It'll save a lot of money and the original isn't bad. Pets only sound good on the box in the game store, but they're annoying in the game hardcore.
