I am having so much fun with The Sims 3 at the moment – the AI is so much better than the previous incarnations and the game play is far less linear.
I am often surprised by what my characters get up to and it’s fascinating to watch their lives develop with only a nudge here and there (although, I confess I find it terribly hard to sit back and not constantly interfere… yes, I know… so unlike me!).
Then @akasylvia sent me this wonderful link: Alice and Kev – A Story of Being Homeless in The Sims 3. The idea was to take two Sims, give them lots of negative personality traits and stick them in a lot with nothing more than a bench and a teddy bear and see what happens. It really makes the most of the game’s AI and randomness.
It’s brilliantly funny, awesomely addictive and also a little sad in places. If you have Sims 3 (or any of the previous games or merely considering getting it) then the Alice and Kev blog comes highly recommended.

Heh, coincidentally I’ve just started playing Sims 2 again!
I didn’t like the changes to the Sims 3 much [downloaded it the other day to see if my laptop could run it] and I much prefer the Sims 2. I guess it’s to do with me not liking change at all!
Just started reading Alice and Kev and it’s brilliant! Thanks for that link!!
