No, they've never lived anywhere. One family came in the 'bin' with the seasons' expansion pack and the other family I made myself but put in the bin as I didn't have a house for them.

This Sims thing sound really good fun, do you just go and buy a package & then off you go?

Is it easy to get the hang of, i'm not very technical minded but would love something to occupy me instead of the TV! Big Grin
Yes, it's fairly easy to get the hang of and is good fun. You need the basic 'The Sims 2' to start. Once you get the hang of that you can, but don't have to if you don't want, get any or all of the expansion or stuff packs. I'm sure if you do get it you'll spend many a happy hour away from the TV.

I've got a good scenario for you - pay attention now!
It involves a family of 3 brothers, a family of 4 sisters and one other lone female, None of whom are any of the sims I mentioned before.

1st brother maries lone female. While she gets to know the other brothers hubby gets to know the sisters.
After wife has a baby , 1st brother ditches her and takes up with 1st sister who becomes his second wife once he breaks up with 1st wife who is now expecting baby of 2nd brother.
1st wife invites 2nd and 3rd brothers to move in with her, which they do, and she marries 2nd brother.
After she has baby of 2nd brother/husband she has fling with 3rd brother and has his baby, meanwhile 2nd brother/husband is having fling with 1st brother's 2nd wife.
After 1st brother's 2nd wife has baby of 1st brother, she gets pregnant by 2nd brother, who is still married to 1st brother's ex-wife.
2nd brother's wife now has another baby by 2nd brother then gets pregnant by 3rd brother again and now 2nd brother breaks-up and throws her out, then leaves with his eldest child. So 3rd brother invites her back into the house and marries her and has another baby, but is also having a fling with 3rd sister.
1st brother now gets 1st sister/2nd wife, 2nd sister and 3rd sister pregnant all at the same time! Eek
Meanwhile 2nd brother invites 1st brother's 2nd wife to move in with him, which she does along with the two children that she already has (by 1st and 2nd brothers), but she is also expecting another child by 1st brother.
When 1st brother breaks up with his 2nd wife/1st sister she and 2nd brother get married.
1st brother and 2nd sister marry,and 3rd brother, who has now broken up with lone female, marries 3rd sister. who by the way has two children now, first one by 1st brother while he was still married to 1st sister/2nd wife and second one by 3rd brother while he was still married to lone female/ex-wife of both brothers.
Meanwhile, lone female kept in touch with 1st brother (after the red wore off) and now invites him to come back and live with her and the 5 children she has left. Laugh Laugh Laugh

Shop around, you can get it for less than £20 in some places. Others offer it bundled with a (or some)expansion pack(s)

To get started you need 'The Sims 2'. Some places may refer to it as the 'basic' or 'starter' disc. Then you can get any or all of the following, kindly listed by Jubilee.

"The Sims 2 Family Fun" (A Stuff Pack)
"The Sims 2 Glamour Life" (A Stuff Pack)
"The Sims 2 Pets"
"The Sims 2 Happy Holiday" (A Stuff Pack)
"The Sims 2 Seasons"
"The Sims 2 Celebration" (A Stuff Pack)
"The Sims 2 H&M" (A Stuff Pack)
"The Sims 2 Bon Voyage"

You don't HAVE to get them all and you don't HAVE to get them in any particular order.
One thing you DO have to do before purchasing any is to check out the System requirements and make sure your system is sufficient to run them.

I'm sure it will. Smile

Another funny thing happened on mine last night. This family just had a baby. The mother cuddled it, bathed it then fed it. I bought a cot for it, then the mother put the baby down on the floor and went to work. I thought nothing of this as the father was there and he would pick baby up and put her in the cot. However he was very hungry so tried to get food from the fridge but couldn't as baby was lying in front of it. So I told him to put baby in cot, then get food, but he did nothing and then complained he was starving! I don't know what happened, but somehow the baby got frozen in a position just before it was lying on the floor properly. So that action wasn't properly finished and thus no other action involving the baby could happen, so I ended up moving the fridge in order that they could get food, and had to ignore the baby and wait for the Social Worker to come and take it away. Even she couldn't pick up the baby, just stood there! Eventually there was a blue flash and the baby disappeared and the Social worker left. So all that effort getting a baby has gone for nothing!
And to make matters worse they both made bad decisions at work. He got demoted two 'career levels' and she got fired!

Laugh

Is she in your Sims memory/friend list, coz you could ring her and invite her over. How do you know she's your sim's niece?

Laugh I HATE when that happens...all that effort of trying for a baby etc for nowt!!!

That's why my nanny got stuck in my other house...she put be baby in the cot, but some how the baby ended up outside the cot and crawled away, so that must have been why the nanny got stuck, the action wasn't finished.

One of my toilets leaked the other day so I got one of the kids to mop it up, but there was a bit between the loo and the bath that the moany little sprog couldn't get to..so I moved the bath into the garden... next of all the mother gets up and goes and has a shower in the garden with the post man and everyone going like Eek at her Laugh
