All is not lost, however. The game can still be fun. Very fun. Just follow my guide to the ULTIMATE game of Sims!
Create eight people. Call them Fuckface, Bastard, Jobbymuncher...whatever, I don't care. Name them, clothe them, etc. Next, pick a plot of land for the little bastards. Any will do. Build six of the smallest blocks possible. If my memory serves me right, these are one unit wide and two units long.
You will now have six cubes, each with two 1x1 blocks in them, if that makes sense. I don't care if it doesn't, use your brain. In each, fill one of these two blocks with an item, for example, a lamp. In the other block, place a sim. Now what you should have is six cubes, each with a Sim unable to move.
At this stage, you will still have two Sims doing nothing. In a small space of the land, build a small, minimal swimming pool - if I remember correctly, this can be built one lane wide. Insert a diving board and stairs. Command a Sim to dive in. Once they are in, remove the stairs and diving board, leaving them with no way out.
With your remaining Sim, we'll throw a little bonfire to celebrate the joyous occasion that is mass murder. Build a four-sided building, basic and not too big. In every unit of the building, place a bush or small shrubbery. Against one of the walls, place a fire. If I remember correctly (I realise thats not the first time I've said that, but I'm not re-installing this shite just to check if what I'm saying is accurate), bushes cannot be placed in the two squares in front of the fire. I think you have to put a table to the side of it or something like that - basically, you want it in such a position that stuff starts to burn. One by one, the bushes will catch fire, leaving your Sim less and less space to run away. Be aware that if the house is too large, it will take some time for the fire to reach the Sim, and some of the fire will eventually die out. Hence why it is advisable to keep the house fairly small.
All right. We are ready to let time flow in our House of Death. Start them all about their business, or lack there of. You may be thinking, okay this is funny, but not exactly worth the effort. Just wait until the Sims are demanding food, a seat, television, company and they're needing the toilet, all at once. Wait until the first time they soil themselves, or the first time they fall asleep in THEIR OWN PISS! Wait until they fall over and die, or drown, or catch fire. Laugh your ass off. I did. Because I'm a sadistic bastard. Have fun! And remember kids, even if playing with fire is dangerous, it's still fun, so go nuts!
