The Sims: I am not a Benevolent God

So I recently bought the Sims 2 Deluxe. This is actually the first time I've owned any version of the Sims (besides the Gamecube version of the first one, which for some reason I never played much and ended up selling after about 2 weeks) and I'm sorry it took me this long to get around to it. This game is addicitive as hell.
What are your interesting stories about your Sims, what they have done, and what you have done to them?
Example: As a not-experiment-but-more-of-a-flagrant-abuse-of-power, I showered one Sim with affection, fulfilling as many of his wants and needs as I could. The other Sim was completely neglected, and has now starved to death. His ghost continues to bug the hell out of my living Sim. Cruel perhaps, but such is life.
Also for general discussion of this series.

Yeah, working on that. I haven't been playing more than a couple days though.
here's one, worth a chuckle at least
Back in the day we thought it was the shit to make characters based on people we didn't like, then make them have terrible gay love affairs. One time we had two guys and locked them in a tiny room with no doors or windows, forcing the depravity of our queer-lust upon them until they were fully infatuated with each other. Eventually due to the lack of food, one of them died, and the other whiled away the rest of his days crying, pissing and shitting on the grave of his departed loved one.
That is the most metal thing I've ever heard.
Did anyone ever watch that mini-series, 'The Justice Freinds' that used to be shown between episodes of Dexter's Lab. It as pretty much like that, but now we have a creepy alien kid wandering around the house after Fantastic Lance got abducted by aliens and got knocked up. It spent most of it's young life crawling around the house, constantly stalking Berserk Pak wherever he went.
Seriously.
And of course I'm assuming everyone here knows of the classic "mass-graveyard-through-removal-of-swimming-pool-ladder" trick.
edit: hotlead that show was glorious, and you are a good man in a sinful world.
Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
other than that....i made a dad and his son, put them in a tiny little shack filled with awesome stuff, ten killed off the dad. the son mae his living catching burglers.
...batman?
So - my Sim rubs the lamp, the genie comes out and I chose the option for property (hoping for a free tv or something). Well, the wish went sour and one of my prized possessions burst into flames. The item that burst into flames was the really nice oriental rug I bought them...the one the Sim was standing on rubbing the lamp. He died and taught me a vital lesson about genie lamp placement.
Other than that, the Sims that have died in my games have done so through either old age, or that time I downloaded the giant scissors for the sorority girls. Three of them died within 5 minutes. It was an official Maxis product, too!
So most of my Sims lead happy, fulfilling lives. They get to the top of their career paths and raise nice families. Sure, there are a few affairs on the side, but what they don't know doesn't harm them.
I like raising alien babies. The three scientists that are all pregnant in one of the default games is a tough and challenging household to play; if you want all of their children to be happy and for the fathers to reach the top of their career paths, that is.
I love the Sims creation tools. Heck, I studied architecture at university and played with plenty of software, and I think the Sims is more flexible and has a lot more choice when it comes to designing buildings! It's easy to use and looks great.
I find there are a few considerations when it comes to designing Sim houses:
1. There always needs to be at least two sets of stairs, and corridors should always be at least two squares wide, if you want your Sims to not get stuck/frustrated.
2. There should be at least one front and one back entrance into the house.
3. There should always be a downstairs toilet.
4. There should always be at least two bathrooms if a house contains more than four Sims.
This will make life easier for your Sims and help them get to work on time and be fulfilled. However, when every room has to have a minimum width, and the above considerations are taken into account, some designs become harder to build.
The following buildings meet the above requirements:
Castle-lite, for the modern Sim who wants a hint of history.
Interior shot!
Mock tudor-style, to fit in with the rest of Veronaville.
Light 'n' modern.
And the pets are so cute!
Mostly I just love playing in short bursts and watching the Sims perform various tasks and concentrate on the expressions they make. The animations are really superb, often very funny and very true-to-life.
These screenshots are for Septus!
...okay, I'll stop...I just find their faces endless sources of amusement.
I had no idea you could rape people in the sims!
There's also wires sticking out the back of the electronic items.
The attention to detail is really nice.
EDIT: Well, your victims have to be willing...
My family of lesbians and myself lived next door to her normal family of a man and a woman. One day while she was actually at work, I spent the entire day using my character to seduce the woman of her household. I banged her and impregnated her.
So my girlfriend got home and her character was now pregnant. After the baby was born, her simhusband started crying whenever he saw the baby and he would just leave out on the sidewalk and shit. Hilarious.
Oh, you can have such fun with the romances.
My only complaint is that the Sims just aren't open to polyamorous relationships
Look at the widdle kittens.
Can you set them on fire like you can with Sims?
This article says no.
That screenshot looks hilarious.
I really need to borrow my sisters copy of The Sims 2.
My gf has this and all the fucking expansions - like 10 of them - installed on my PC.
Do not make me load this shit. I will spend the entire day building shit and cursing your fucking faggot heathen tongue I swear to fucking christ.
