What is with the puking? Everywhere I go sims are violently puking glow-in-the-dark green puke. They'll even do it during a conversation. So Jim, how's that acting *SPEW* career? Oh, don't mind me. It's a condition I have. Here, let me wipe off your face, and shirt, and pants, and... shoes. I don't understand it. Some let it just dribble out of their mouths while some projectile vomit on everyone. Oddly enough other sims never notice. Is this a normal behavior in Bridgeport? Public display of nausea? A sim pukes then goes on their merry way. They don't seem sick. They just... puke. Noone pays it any attention nor cleans it up. It's really kind of a putoff when there are 3 sims in the vicinity of your fun spewing ectoplasmic residue. Most odd.

I played my to-be vampire sim last night and he finished the whole shabang in an impressive display of red fog and bat wings. Lovely. I took piccies but they're dark, as well as piccies of him doing his thang in the club on the counter, and various other vampire shots. They're all dark though so I need to lighten them before you could really see anything. Of course they're dark. Everything happens at night. Sheesh. Don't knock a girl for trying. Anyway, the vamp life seems fine. He sleeps in his normal bed as he has a small place right now with no room for a... coffin thingy. But he gets the slept like the dead moodlet when he wakes up. That made me giggle. I haven't delved too deeply into the vamp life as of yet. He did raid Mike's Cornerstore. The option was there so, you know, I just sort of... slipped and clicked on it. Something I thought might end badly was really a riot. While he was apparently acting like a child, riding his shopping cart at vampiric speed, and oggling the produce, I got a pop-up that said, Don't stare at me! Silly baby in a shopping cart... I almost peed my pants laughing. He did this at like 2 in the morning. What nutjob was there with a baby then? Anyway, he scored 5 plasma fruit from the... er... raid. And probably totalled a shopping cart. I got a lot of pop-up windows telling me of his activities. I also prowled around town looking for something to do, but the town was dead oddly enough. So I sent him to Smuggler's Cove. I had hoped to find a plasma fruit seed there as my other sim did one night. No seed but I got some rocks and junk. Apparently vampires are aware of the lameness of travel in Bridgeport because I told my guy to go to the bookstore next and he ran from Smuggler's Cove all the way there. It was so funny! He's got a motorcycle but didn't use it. He just ran, and ran, and ran. I think my vampire is a tad hyperactive. And horny. He hit it off pre-vamp with a cute blonde after completing an opportunity and he moved her in after he finished the creepshow transformation. And the man can not get enough of her. Jeez man! Down boy! Down! He even had two woohoo wants for her at the same time once. Yowzers! I think I have a hidden wild child in this sim. He's so different from my other one but doesn't really have any extreme traits to add to weird behavior. He just acts wild. I need to tweak her traits. She's got mainly useless ones. I hate useless traits. I want my sims to have personality, not be some vapid waste of oxygen. I mean really, some of those traits are pointless, useless, and add nothing of interest to the game. They just take up personality real estate on game generated sims so they really have no personality at all. The whole point is so sims act differently from each other and keep things interesting.

Ok, enough whining about game shortcomings. I might actually get around to doing that revamp of my Ayesleigh lot soon. I love Late Night and want to play, but now I need to make lots to fit the city life. Hmph. I'm getting the build bug again. I always do when we get something new and I get a rash from how irritating the stuff EA gives us is. Inefficiency and sims do not mix well. *cough* subway *cough* Whether heading across town or traversing a multi-story building you're in for lag not caused by your computer.

Oh! One more tidbit to giggle about. I hope this happens to other people or I'm going to start taking it personally. I'll send a sim out to some random bar/club/what not and get a pop-up stating this place is as hot as Connor Frio blah blah blah, or nothing is happeneing here, there must be a better place. So I pick another lot and then get a pop-up stating Oh yeah! This is where it's at! I enter and... noone is there. Not one sim. Not even a cricket chirping.  WTH? Hotspot? I think not. What is the point of having bouncers if they also prevent ALL the other sims in the game from going anywhere as well? I know it's not fair to give mindless, lazy sims a free ride into a posh place but c'mon, we don't go out to these places to sit in a hot tub alone, drink alone, throw darts alone. Duh. So, I stick to the tried, but true, hotspot in town... loitering outside the cinema. It's so upscale! It's so happenin'! It's so elite! It's so... sidewalk. It's not about status, it's about fun. Go where the fun is, wherever that may be. It is a game afterall.
