But it also occurred to me that this was an interesting opportunity to essentially restart a "level" in The Sims 4.
#The sims 4 review Pc#
I'd already lost several hours' worth of time building and decorating their house over the weekend when my PC ran into a similar hiccup, so I knew the sting of lost Sims time all too well. One reboot later, and I was back at the beginning of this scene-Fred once again on the edge of his bed, waiting for me to press "play" on the game's menu so he could start his day anew. I guess it's time to try again, I sighed. I sat there, staring at the two lovebirds I'd just helped move past a minor quarrel, seeing the little "z's" hover above their heads in suspended animation. Before long, the two of them were back in bed. Either way, she strode out of the bathroom cheerfully, catching Fred on his way out of the kitchen. Or maybe, once she'd emptied her bladder, she just realized that she was feeling feisty. And yes, maybe we got married without a wedding, just minutes after he proposed to me one night sitting on a couch in a museum. I wonder if she thought: What are we doing, fighting like this? Sure, Fred might be an aspiring comedian who never manages to button his shirt and insists on dying his beard bright pink. Looking at herself in the mirror while she was washing her hands, Autumn suddenly had a change of heart. Fred glanced around the room, looking lost, raising his arms in confusion. But there was an empty bowl, just sitting there on the counter, like a giant red stop sign. He returned to the kitchen, planning to resume his recipe. Leaving her dirty bowl there, she dashed back to the bathroom the moment Fred stepped out. Still fit to burst, she inched over to the kitchen and grabbed some yogurt from the fridge, eating it in a few hurried spoonfuls while standing over the counter. This meant that both of them had upset the other, to the point where the game was dinging points off their relationship ratings. They exchanged a few curt words, and tiny red characters popped up over their heads. Once Autumn got to the bathroom, she wasn't happy to see Fred hunched over the toilet, laboring as he was. Ok, technically I did that part-switching characters from Autumn to Fred and ordering him to start doing his handyman duties. Fred is the more mechanically-minded of the two, so once Autumn arose and started groaning, he rushed to start fixing the plumbing.

Fred didn't notice at first, lost as he was in trying to make his wife the best damn pancakes that a few weeks of cooking and a spare chapter in a culinary manual could help him conjure.Īutumn really had to pee, so she woke up shortly after Fred and started waddling towards the bathroom, gritting her teeth and locking her knees together. Everything was peaceful, except for the toilet, which was gushing water all over the bathroom floor. He got out of bed without disturbing Autumn, and started to make her a special breakfast.
Fred woke up early one morning this week. Let me start with one of those stories, about a man named Fred Bob.

Actually playing the game feels like you're both telling and watching a series of private, intimate stories.
But like any so-called life simulator, it only seems that way when you add up its countless tiny bits and pieces into one giant mosaic.
