Okay guys, I'm going to apologize in advance for this one. I forgot about my post until ten on a school night, which means that momentarily my mom is going to holler at me to start getting ready for bed. And so if this post seems rushed, then that's why.
I've just recently been re-trying the Sims 3 game on for size. I'm always envious of those little characters who can write a book in 10 hours, and get published even if it's no good. I wish I were them...
The first thing I would do if I was in Sims land would be to check my skill levels in everything. How's my athletic skill? Writing skill? Chess skill? Cooking skill? There are so many things that I'd like to find out.
It would also be awesome to know that your skill level never goes down, even if you don't practice it for years. No matter what you do, you're always improving. And I personally think that that would be a blessing.
Another great thing about being a Sim is that you can get any job you want. You want to be a scientist? Okay. Just sign on up, no education required. And when you do get your job, you can be promoted in about two days. And even better, you know exactly what the next step in your career is. There is always a clear promotion ahead of you, always a clear way to get there. Your life is laid out before you, and you can do anything you want. You can choose a path, and then you can cruise through life along it. Being in Sim land would be wonderful.
Alas, I'm stuck in the real world for now. I've always wanted to know what my skill level for certain things is, though. In the past, I've even created quick rating systems for myself. In the real world, however, I can't become a master writer with three weeks of determined effort...
Thanks for reading,
-Mark
