The Cactus Farmer (A Sims 2 Experiment)

March 11th, 2008 by Fullforce | Posted in Gaming, PC, Random |

With the announcement of The Sims 3 (Scans up here in case you’ve missed this trend) I decided I’d have another go at The Sims 2.

The Sims and I, we have an understanding. I have a tendency to get the urge to play The Sims, and then end up getting bored. This time, though, things will be different.

So, I raided the office for all the Sims 2 games. Turns out my sister bought them all. Wow. Even Family Fun. What on earth? And she complains that her computer never has any hard drive space.

I returned to my computer, and installed The Sims 2, and Open for Business. This would be all I would need.

I would create… A Cactus Farmer. Seeing as The Sims 2 and OfB don’t have crops of any kind, Cactus’ is this Farmer’s business. I remembered crops in The Sims 1, in Unleashed. Shame they’re not in The Sims 2.

This would be an experiment, and a challenge. I would try and stick with The Sims 2 as long as possible. I usually give up shortly after finishing building stuff, so this would be a real challenge. (But building stuff is so fun!)

I set out to create my lone farmer.

Niiiice.

Now I had the farmer look down, now to set the personality.

Yeah, he’s a complete bastard. Gerrof his land!

Now, onto the… hey, wait a minute. Turn-ons?!

The perfect opportunity to let loose his secret desire of a woman wearing underpants, while still wearing a hat. Nice. The addition of ‘Beards’ was a clear one - he doesn’t like beards on females. It’s just wierd.

Now, with Mr. Hermes done, soon he’ll be moving into his new home. Stay tuned!

Sims Veterans: Is there anything in the expansion packs that would be of worth to use for my Cactus Farmer? Or do you have any custom items that would be awesome? Comment Away!
