With the Sims 3, players have far more freedom when it comes to creatings interesting characters, be it mentally, emotionally or physically. No longer are you forced to build a Sim based on only a few characteristics. Instead, you can create almost anything you want, from exciteable, lovelorn romantics to brooding, unpleasant loners.
Or, in the case of one UK blogger, a homeless father-daughter pair taking on the world of the Sims 3 with nary a helping hand. Created by Robin Burkinshaw, the Alice and Kev blog follows the everyday lives of two Sims living in an abandoned park without any money or easy opportunities. They rummage through trash to find food, beg other Sims for help and, recently, fall in love. Burkinshaw documents their misadventures with as little melodrama as he can, but nevertheless you’re sure to find yourself falling in love with this pair. Even those who don’t play the Sims 3 are sure to find the story touching, sad and altogether inspiring. It’s a surprise internet hit and, personally, I can’t wait to see where it all ends up! Check out the blog here or click the pic below! You’re almost sure to be hooked.
Also, in case you weren’t already aware of the Sims 3 channel on Youtube (check out our previous post for more info), the good news has come in that the Sims Channel is the most subscribed-to sponsored channel of ALL TIME, showing just how far the game has come. Check out the channel or watch a quick preview video here.
