Today, my son was playing The Sims, when I saw him remove the door to a room and set it on fire with a Sim trapped inside. I chuckled at first, until I saw that the Sim was me. Meanwhile, my wife's Sim was happily painting in the next room, not giving a crap. All too accurate, sadly. FML

I could see him slowly turning around and smiling at you.

Keep one eye open when you sleep... in real life of course

Well if your first response was to laugh at something cruel like that, you know where the kid gets it from. YDI. ( and don't say it's just a game - try taking it away from the kid and see how much they care )

You may want to talk about this with your family if it's that accurate.

I'm no authority on psychology but I feel like if your kid is recreating his own family in a virtual world and interacting with it (and controlling it) he probably feels he can't communicate with his real family. I'm only reading into it because I've never known anyone who made their OWN family on the SIms. And the purpose of he game is to control the household... Maybe get him off the computer and go do something outside the house with him and have a chat.

And this is why I think it's creepy to base Sims off of real people. I love The Sims, but there are ways of taking it too far.

Holy god Jesus! People on here take The Sims way too seriously. "God, get him counselling! Immediately." Yeah, right...

I'm an avid Sims player, and even I don't know for sure what to make of this. It could be coincidence, or it could be something to be concerned about. Maybe your son was having a mood swing, or was mad about something, and instead of retaliating in real life, he took it out on his family in the game. I don't know, but personally I've only made myself in the game; every time I made my boyfriend in the game, something bad happened to us in real life, so I stopped doing that. I only made myself as a character and that's it. But anyway, yeah, maybe talk to your son and see if something is bothering him that makes him feel like he has to kill you in his virtual game. As for your wife problems, well, that's a whole other ball game. But usually Sims don't react to a fire unless they're in the same room, so that could be why your wife's character didn't react. ;)
