I'm a stay-at-home mom of three (and yes I'm nuts!). I've been addicted to the The Sims and all the expansions except Online since I first discovered it. Usually I get bored playing though and just go design another house. I'm hoping with Sims 2 with Aspirations I won't get so bored. Not to mention actual aging. One of my main problems before was the repetiveness and the lack of any real goals. I mean once your sims are at the top of the career track and have maxed out all their skills is kinda boring. Love to build though! I'm also planning on learning to make custom content.
