I remember when i started to play the sims1, I only wanted it because i wanted to design my dream house the people were an extra thing for me. After i actually started to play the game i got addicted, That was when i was 10. The next day i would rock at school and tell all my friends what happened like 'My sim kissed and had a baby!' and everyone would be like 'ewwwwww kissing' i look back now and it cracks me up! But my point being, 10 yrolds are a bit young but the rest are right. I know a 7yrold that plays grand theft auto!!!!!!! I asked her why she was playing a game like that, She said 'because i get to roam around the world and drive cars and kill myself' the end bit i was a bit scared, But she took NO notice of the swearing, All they wanna do is move someone around,,,, 'And kill people' heheheheh that scares me...
