The kids gave me The Sims Complete Collection for Christmas/birthday. I didn't like it at first because I didn't use any cheats; all my Sims ended up depressed and jobless, leaving garbage everywhere, falling asleep in the street, sobbing. You get the picture. But with cheats I've created...
- The Summerisle estate from The Wicker Man, run by Lord Summerheel. The little Pagans were dressed in peasant garb, and had to tend grapes, elderberries, and honey to make Nectar. Sadly, all but Lord Summerheel (Aspen, Willow, and Bran) perished in a kitchen fire right at harvest time.

- A Playboy mansion (6 blondes and one old dude in p.j.s)
- A trailer park occupied by, among others, a mean old guy and his Russian mail-order wife.
- A warlock named Edgar Allen Froppe, who works as a shoe repairman.
- The rustic cottage of "Matt Hadder" and a little girl named Mellis, with a myrtle tree growing in the kitchen.
- A halfway house currently occupied by Gobbers, Gunther, and Jermaine.
- A De Selby house in the shape of a question mark, occupied by a niece who practices magic. There's a portal to Magic Town at the end of a secret, torch-lit hallway.
- The Bronte house. The sisters do all the work; the brother sits in his room, plays with a dollhouse, and drinks. (That's when he's not downtown, gambling away the family money and trying to pick up hot guys.)
- A cult mansion in which all the devotees wore the same robes and had identical personality points. When it was time for them to join Zog on his spaceship, I sealed up the house and let them commit mass suicide. (All except one guy named Francis, who gets to make a fresh start as an accountant.)
- Andy Warhol's Factory. His mother the cat lady lives next door.
- A Real World: Sim City house in the traditionally tasteless style (jungle room, hot tub, a bar in every corner).
- Emily Dickinson's Amherst home (she never leaves it, of course), complete with baking oven. I'm working on her brother's Italian-style villa next door. He'll cheat on his wife a lot.

Possible future projects:
- Graceland, and/or Liberace's mansion
- an athenaeum/gallery, with a cabinet of curiosities and a gift shop
- Z-kid suggested the Anne Frank house, and since Amsterdam buildings are so cute, I might give it a shot. No pun.

incredibly impressed...does Dad need to get into this??
Hoo yeah! Endless possibilites: Royal families, hillbillies who make their own likker, famous movie/novel houses (The Bates Motel, maybe...) It's addictive.
CHEAT CODES?!
I NEVER thought I'd see the day that YOU used CHEAT CODES! Now you owe an abject apology to your Dad and Z-kid. ;)
Well, I can't help it that Sims don't get paid a fair wage...
unless I use cheat codes! Hehe.
I cannot even allow myself to play Sims because I can do that to the exclusion of all else. :-/ I would like to see your screenshots of Graceland. :-)
