Needful Things: Kweeny & The Sims

Sim Kweeny Todd, hanging in her mansion.

Confession Time: I love the Sims. I know it's stupid, mindless fun. But I love them anyhow. I love building weird houses, dressing my Sims in crazy outfits, trying to make monsters, celebs, and weirdos out of them, seeing how many ways I can kill them, etc. It's just dumb fun! I have all the Sims 2 Expansions and the Sims 3, and I play the Sims Social on Facebook. I know I can't make my Sims have real sex, but I get excited when they "Woo Hoo" and snicker like a perv anyhow. It's fun to make my Elvira looking Sim marry the Wolfman, build them a house that would make the Addams Family jealous, and then make them a neighborhood were they fit in seamlessly. I like giving them jobs I would never have, or jobs I know won't be done in any realistic way. Like the job of Writer. Oh man, I don't know how many times I've giggled at my Sim when she or he finishes a book. "If only it were so simple!" I say to the screen, "I'd be living like a Queen!"

Yes, that's probably why it's fun. Life is nice and simple for the Sims.

We all have guilty pleasures. Things we like and can't explain why. But we ALL have these things. So here is one of mine, that I admit proudly. *puffs out chest*

And look how cute my little Sim is in the Sims Social? I even gave her crazy hair:

But the real reason I bring this up is because I found out today that the Sims 3 is coming out with a supernatural expansion pack! OMFG! Yes, I of course covet this thing, being a Sim fan. If you click on the handy link I posted for ya you'll see all the neat new stuff that comes with the expansions. Gothic decor and clothing, werewolves, zombies, witches, vampires with magic and shit? HOLY SPACE BALLS I want this game! It's so cheesy and ridiculous, that I am SOLD from the moment I heard WEREWOLVES were in this!

My dark cheesy heart knows the truth. Knows that I will be buying this thing, somehow, someway, and making a pack of werewolves who I will mold to maul the vampires in my city of the damned. And then I will make a zombie crew who will learn to dance Thriller for my amusement. Oooh yes... I will have my puppets DANCE!

It will be glorious!
