I got Melinda The Sims for Xmas, so once again, I find myself sitting at a computer for long hours, feeling sleepy, a little hungry, needing to empty my bladder, failing to socialize, ignoring my hygeine, while micro-managing the life of a little cartoon guy to ensure that he doesn't lose sleep, doesn't get hungry, socializes, bathes. Sims also need "fun" (usually fulfilled by tv, games or material objects), and apparently I'm having so much fun in real life playing Sims, that it's worth while to ignore all my other needs just to make sure the little guy gets his similar needs fulfilled.

So why do I so often find that my Sim lacks in his "fun" stat? Go figure.
