the sims

I've spent the last several days playing "The Sims." I am still not a big fan of games and am frustrated with the amount of time it takes to play Sims, but I am determined to be successful at it. As of right now, my characters are out of money, too depressed to find jobs, and living in too small of a space. Somehow, I have to fix their situation. Once I get that far, I'll be able to quit wasting my time with it.
