Pixel Acres was a nudist colony that covered nude Sims with pixels. I was clearly too young and uncultured to appreciate these beautiful moments.īut as a fully functioning young adult, I can safely say that I completely understand it all now. In fact, I didn’t understand why sims would strip when “Pixel Booty”, played on the synthesiser at Pixel Acres either. I didn’t understand why sims enjoyed Strip Poker so much. I didn’t know what “scoring” at a party meant. I do think the 7+ rating is a bit risky because some of the themes were a bit risque. Nowadays, I can still mention this ordeal, and both my brother and I would reminisce in just how truly messed up this really was.
The game wouldn’t allow it like it knew what we were doing to the Sims, and our rapidly growing graveyard suddenly stopped mid-development. However, after a while, inviting sims over for a party was impossible – no one would turn up. We treated this torturous routine like a game and pushed the limits to see if all our Sims caught fire until we had no one left. During this madness, we randomly instructed a Sim from our household to, “take out the trash” from the trash compactor whilst his friend was meeting his demise. Rinse and repeat until someone caught fire. My brother and I thought it would be a good idea to throw multiple parties, cover the outer edge of the kitchen with crates, and have a low-skilled sim cook dinner. Some kids like to scare themselves silly. To paraphrase she said, “Everytime I would walk in, your Sims would just be on fire and screaming.” You can probably tell where this is going. On one rare occasion, I actually played the Tutti household on their original lot with my younger brother, who will be horrified to know he’s being included in an article about The Sims.Īccording to my mother, like every pyromaniac Simmer and after burning Bella Goth, I developed an obsession with setting the lot on fire and letting my sims burn.
I’d always had a superstition that it was haunted, so I always bulldozed it and started fresh. The Fruttis lived at 1 Free Street, a parallel lot to The Newbies lot in The Sims 1 (PC), and the Tuttis lived at 2 Free Street. The producer was either a big fan of Little Richard, or fine Italian Desserts. Free Play provided two premade households: Tutti and Frutti. However, Free Play was a sandbox game where you could create a household of four sims maximum, move them into a premade or empty lot, and start a life. So even when I was old enough to play it, I couldn’t. That same day, the servers for The Sims Online shut down too.
But alas, I was too young (and extremely cautious when it came to chatrooms) to even contemplate asking my dad to connect our Playstation 2 to the Internet, so I missed out.
