I've been playing Sims 3 and like many others, the first family you make is your own. I haven't figured out how to get pets, if possible (besides goldfish), but it's Stuart and I. I started us off at young adult and was having fun with their daily life. Stuart got into a job of politics. Nichole started off there, quit to pursue a writing career, wrote a book then took a part time job at a bookstore while working on another book. I then went off and started a journalism job... but then something devastating happened. I got caught up in creating the perfect little life (which is what Sims is for, living out your dreams) for us that our birthday came and we became old whiteheads. :( I saw 'myself' age past 50, I had white hair and walked slowly. But what hurt the most is that I was unmarried and without child. I think this has unlocked a hidden fear; to grow old before marrying and having a child. I didn't want to HAVE a baby at that age (I'm sure a Sim can, but because it's a reflection of my perfect life, I wouldn't want to have a baby at that age), so I adopted. I called the adoption agency, said I wanted a baby boy... and they brought me a little black baby. Definitely not what I expected nor what I wanted.
So that's my little upset. Yes, it's a pretend game but I put my real self and Stuart into it. We were living together for 'years' as bf/gf and were now grey. That's crazy. That's something I hope that won't happen. Nah, I know it won't happen because I won't let it happen.
