I do like the Sims but I can see that the online version would get boring fast. They are gonna have to make it MEGA interactive or else all you are gonna be doing is standing around talking to people. You can do that for free on BBS's and chat rooms.
But then my favourite part of the Sims is cheating to get a load of money and then building the biggest, most impressive house on the block. Maybe what I really need is an architectual design program.
