I woke up one day and found myself inside a The Sims world...
Cheats? No way. Why would a Sim open the cheat console and give themselves money? I didn't just fail to get extra cash, I couldn't even afford to live in a luxury apartment.
Not only was I stuck without a decent place to live, but as a straight guy, straighter than a table leg, I also had to deal with my roommate making a move on me...
Su An: (disgusted look) What kind of lousy place is this? I want to go home.
Lin Yuan: No, you don't.
Su An: Get away from me! I'm straight!
System: Sorry, the world database has no entries related to "straight man." Would you like to add this as a new term?
Su An: ???
Reader's guide:
1. Although the story is set in The Sims, it doesn't have much to do with the game itself. I mainly want to explore some thoughts I've had about what "virtual reality" technology might bring.
2. This isn't a leveling-up story.
3. Does the ending count as a happy ending or a bad ending? Different people may see it differently, so it's hard to say...
This started as a completed Sims forum play. I've rewritten it as plain text, keeping the main story mostly intact and adding lots of details. To me, the forum version was just a first draft...
So! New readers, please don't search for it!!! It's so embarrassing!!!!! If you want to see the characters, I'll post them here for you!!!!!
(By the way, I came up with the male lead's and his little sister's names over a year ago after seeing a bottle of sour plum drink nearby. The term "lemon spirit" hadn't been coined yet back then. =.=)
*Thanks to Xiao Ran for making the cover. It's the first time anyone has made art for me. I'll treasure it forever...
Theme: Is free will an illusion in the world of The Sims?
When I saw the author mention "free will", I couldn't help but want to express my opinion. I think this is a rather philosophical question. From my own point of view, if you believe it is free will, it is free will. If you don't believe it, it is not. Take Acid as an example. He has always thought that he is a straight man and feels that game characters are controlled, so he has always avoided his own feelings and Ayuan's feelings, especially in the A world. Then he went to world C and got rid of Xiaomei's control, or thought he was free of the system's will. Ayuan also acted with free will, and after getting along for a long time, he accepted it bit by bit. Take Ayuan as an example. In his own world, even if he is the master, he has been living seriously and giving love seriously because he does not know the "essence" of this world. Taking us as an example, we think that this world is independent, but do we know that it is not a game world in some "advanced" world? So I think this issue is not important anymore, because if you really think about it, it will be very profound. This is one aspect. On the other hand, I actually read stories more to relax my mood, so when I read this story, without worrying about free will, I was easily attracted by their ups and downs of emotions. The last point is that I believe that everything in the world has animism, even every plant, tree, stone and sand, including data. So I am very happy to think of these as the villain's own story and life. Even if he is in a controlled state, just like Acid, you can control his behavior but not his thoughts, so I basically acquiesce that Ayuan and the others are acting under free will. In addition, the so-called system will not only exists in the game world, but also in our real society? It's just that we may call it different names. For example, it can be called heavenly principles or heavenly ways, it can be called rules, it can be called rules of conduct, etc. You can think of these as a consensus that has slowly formed in the development of mankind, but why can't it be considered a "system" that is accepted by all mankind as a rule? And in this "system", do we really have complete "free will"? Are we not following the "system" in our daily relationships and lives? Under this setting, I think there is no so-called absolute free will. The so-called freedom is relative and exists under certain conditions. If there was truly absolute freedom, the world would be in chaos. Above

Why can't I help but cry when I see this?
I don't know why, but this article made me feel sad unconsciously.
I suddenly wondered if the height difference on the cover is real?
Earl's genes are too difficult to save
Seeing this always reminds me of "Swallowtail Butterfly"
Alas, I really didn't care about playing games at that time. I didn't even pay attention to the aborigines. I failed.
I can't even remember what the guard captain looked like?
First I hug the person and pretend to respond, and then I draw a huge gap. I watch it again and my mouth is still filled with shards of glass...
