Last night I conducted an experiment relating to The Sims 3. This experiment was based on creating a random sim and letting him have the free will to do what EVER he wanted without interference from me. The only things I did was give him a home and a random job to start with.
Here’s what I did:
I opened the “Create A Sim: module and gave him define looks (I wanted my sim to at least be good looking for his Live show 
) But gave him random traits and ambitions and gave him my name, Kevin Waggoner. I chose him a decent furnished home at 72 Water Lily lane in Sunset Valley, and had him walk all the way down to the local bookstore so he could get a part-time job making only 30 simolians an hour.
After he was hired and safely home I left him alone to go to bed, it was time for his freedom. He was happy and ready for his experiment.
When I woke up I found that he went from Happy to Miserable The house was a disaster! Dirty dishes everywhere, the toilet was clogged, the shower was covered in much, the kitchen and bathroom sink were spewing out water, creating a lake in his home. It was surely a mess…I laughed. He was miserable for a decent amount of time yet he still managed to go to work on time and NOT be fired from his ill emotions, he managed to keep himself stable enough to continue bringing home money every day.
So as a congratulations for not killing himself I had him call the maid and the repairman and made him have a good nights rest. I think he deserved it, don’t you?
So in conclusion, our Sims generally can’t get anywhere without us, we are their caretaker, pushing them towards the right direction every minute if their lives. Without us they can not properly survive, though that is only my intake from this experiment.
I don’t want to end the experiment here, I want to keep this up so I have a little project for everyone who reads this that has The Sims 3, doesn’t matter what expansions you have, either all or none. I want you all to do what I did and share me your recordings, I shall give you the steps.
- Step 1: Open up the ‘Create a Sim’ module and give him or her your preferred looks, either like yours or something outright creative.
- Step 2: Do NOT give your sim specific traits, use the random trait option you can find in the top right corner of the traits tab.
- Step 3: Give your sim any home you choose, but make sure you have it set to already furnished.
- Step 4: Help your sim get a Part-time job, careers are too specific and ruins the essence of the experiment.
- Step 5: Guide your sim safely home and leave them be. You can either watch how they progress or go about your business, but do NOT help your sim for a full 2 hours.
2 hours is the minimum requirement for this project if you wish to participate. You may prolong the experiment if you wish, but remember that if you do, you can NOT help your sim what so ever.
To broadcast/record your experiment you have 1 of three options:

After your experiment is over I want you to send me the an email with the link to your recording and a brief summary of what you did and what your intake is on your sim during his/hers freedom. I can’t wait to see what can be done, there is no deadline so whenever it’s done send me the requested details!
