 I'm watching Attack of the Clones, which I am actually enjoying more than The Phantom Menace. Less Jar Jar Binks, for one, but also I more invested in Anakin's character now that he is no longer a child.

I developed a craving for The Sims (I played Sims 1 & 2 as child/teenager), and was happy to discover Sims 4 is available for free. I had some trouble getting it installed, but with help from a friend it is installed and I am now re-familiarizing myself with the gameplay and familiarizing myself with the changes that came with Sims 4.

I'm reading The Throme of The Erril of Sherril, by Patricia McKillip. I love McKillip but I wouldn't recommend this. It's a cute fun little quest story, that's all.

I'm a v v sporadic Sims player (played 1 and 2 as a kid/teenager as well!) but I do have recs for the add-ons you can get if you're interested!

Are you more of a builder or a player? A friend of mine and I have a theory that most Sims players are focused on playing out the Sims' lives OR building the houses, usually not both.

I would love to here your recs!

I am definitely a player. I love the story-telling potential of Sims. Which are you?

Definitely a player! I love a melodramatic Sims storyline. Lots of adultery.
