As evidenced by my younger sister, you really suck at The Sims when:

  • Your Sim burns down his/her stove every night trying to make dinner, thus raising his/her food expenses $499 per day.
  • Your Sim is too depressed from his/her stove burning excercises to read a book on cooking to solve the problem
  • Your Sim is a policeman, yet s/he calls the police when s/he is getting robbed
  • Said robber steals your stove, adding insult to injury.
  • The wife/husband from your other house abandons her/his comfortable family to live with Stove-Burning-Guy/Gal.
  • Your Sim dies from exhaustion whenever s/he takes a walk on the front lawn.
  • Whenever your Sim and his/her significant other procreate, their offspring is confiscated by social services within the hour.
  • A strange, unknown man comes to visit, and will not get off your toilet no matter how many times you ask him, thus requiring the construction of a new bathroom or the demolition of the house.

  • You use the "rosebud" cheat.
  • You use the "rosebud!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;1" cheat.
