If you play it for 2 months straight, then dont play it till a month later, expect your town to not look good, plus you will have new neighbors ect.
Does that sort of background stuff happen with My Sims too? I often act like the Heavy-Hand-Of-God type of father who bans them from the DS for a few days if they've misbehaved... I don't want any cow-eyed, teardrops on the pillow, guilt-trips laid on me for letting all their hard work go up in smoke for not playing often enough. Having watched my son go at Lego Star Wars (PS2) like a loony until he's got all the characters, I can see he can become obsessed all too easily. I don't fancy buying something that will turn him into an even bigger slave to the machine...
On the other hand, I've been reading some fascinating threads on here today and it is beginning to have an effect on me
, there are quite a few games that sound like something i'd like to try...
