Never love a wild thing... you can't give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they're strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree.

My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad. ↗

Also, after people play these Sim games, it tends to change their perception of the world around them, so they see their city, house or family in a slightly different way after playing. ↗
