One thing that has bugged me about all of the Sims games is how materialistic the Sims are. I've been playing a family that is just starting out and doesn't have much, I don't want them to. Yet one of my Sims wants is to buy a refrigerator costing at least 1,000 dollars. Why? Why would food taste better just because you have a more expensive stove or refrigerator? Especially if your Sim is a natural cook. Why would you get more cable channels just because you have a more expensive TV? Why does a Sim always have to get a promotion? I find it kind of insulting that they don't consider being a police officer or lieutenant a good enough job, my boyfriend who's a police officer himself would beg to differ. What's wrong with just being a nurse? Most nurses DO NOT want to be doctors. Sorry that's just one of the things that's ALWAYS bugged me about the Sims and I had to get off my chest.
