She would LOVE it. My GF has never played a video game before...EVER.

Hmmm... maybe I should give it to my Mom; she'd probably stop getting on my case for being a 28 year-old man who shouldn't play video games.

Already did it :)

Wife was away at work. A message popped up that she was she needed to proofread an important document for spelling errors. It gave me the option to leave it, proofread it myself, or use spell check. I told her to proofread it herself and she turned it in. A message popped up about 20 seconds later saying that the document was full of errors and she got demoted and had to work terrible hours...

In the meantime, the husband was home and the maid was cleaning the house. I made the husband go over and start flirting with the maid b/c she had been thinking about him. Then I made him make out with her. She was very receptive and they just started going at it big time. No sooner than they sit on the couch to continue their loving, the wife walks through the door. She goes ballistic!!! She starts beating the sh!t out of the maid and then the husband falls to floor and has a nervous breakdown :) Then what I would assume are loony bin doctors come to check him out
hahah, but wait, did you play with her family or create your own and indirectly screw her over?

OH NO!!! You dun did bad!! Massa gonna be MAD!!

Seriously.. that is hilarious, though! But I think it's more clever when you screw her with another family instead of messing with hers.

IMO.. it's like.. you talk someone into downloading a trojan that screws up their computer or you actually put the trojan on their computer and screw it up... Much more fun when you talk them into doing it.

Excellent idea :p I was messing around with the two teenage daughters in her family last night. One of them likes this boy in another family. So she calls him at like 3:00 in the morning and he gets pissed and starts going off on her :p

My GF is the same way about most games, but Sims2 is like crack (especially for women, it seems). She's been staying up to 2am on weekdays, 4am on weekends playing, heh.

I'm going to start hiding the cd.

LMAO... I did the same thing. GF comes to visit me more often now though.

She got mad too when I had my character invite a female character over. Waaaay to serious... "Oh yeah? Well I'm going to flirt with the mailman!!"

Yeah, she was like that at first (before she was playing). "Your Sim is hitting on the maid?!" *smack*

Of course, now she has her male Sim going to the pool every day to hit on chicks in bikinis.
