Admitting gross ignorance, I'm sure, but...what are SIMS?

Teen aged girls have been known to set up entire small societies, with music clubs, etc. for their characters to interact with...Is this Barbies for the new century?

It seems very labor-intensive. I've reached the point where I try to avoid labor-intensive unless 1) I can make money at it, or 2) it will improve my property value (which in a way is a variation of 1).

I know that point. Other than 3) I get sheer pleasure from it, that's where I am, too--

Yes, the sheer pleasure part--I kinda treated that as a given, despite what I posted earlier about scene-wrestling. Learned the hard way that if I don't like it, I have a very hard time doing it.

But when it comes to making up worlds and characters, let there be some $$ at the bottom of the timesink. Even if I have to dig it out of the sink trap.

Yes, I'm with you all the way. I love making up stories, and part of the reason I want to get back to it is simply the love of storytelling. But I'd rather make a living at that than anything else I know of--so getting it back, and figuring out what I can write that will be popular and pay the bills, is in the back of my mind.
