Sheepville

I'm suprised Sheepette admitted using a stolen key to activate her Sims, especially working for a SOE. Maybe they won't notice. She made "Men" comments about certain aspects of the game. It is true half of the goals in the game are aimed toward "Men", but half are also aimed toward "Women". Most people don't know that the original game was called Sim Work, following the line of Sim City, Sim Ant, Sim Copter, etc. It wound up being a complete failure because no one was interested in a work simulation when no one really wants to work anyway. Well, there was a few geeks that were interested, but that was just too small of a target audience. Rather than scrap the whole project the did a brainstorming session to figure what would make the game more attractive. While all the game designers were sitting around the table mulling this over, one of them made an appreciative comment about the rack of the girl pouring coffee for them. *DING* That's it, SEX! So there was an immediate outpouring of ideas on adding sex to the game. Said coffee server asked what would attract women to the game and there were several "who cares" responses. She noted that half the population WAS female, a rather astute observation for a well-racked blonde. So shopping and babies were added to the mix. She went on to become the first female game designer for EA, and also was the very first booth babe in the industry. She still works for EA, though still just serves coffee as she was never able to come up with another decent idea after that and she's too old now to be a booth bade.

So the next time you see a femme sim have a thought bubble for babies, marriage, and shopping (furniture, paintings, etc.) you can you can snort and say "Women".
