Should I buy The Sims 3?

[KonradPie]

This might be an odd question but I want to buy the game The Sims 3 but I need to know if playing it is sinfull or not. The reasons I think playing it might be sinfull is because it is like your playing god in the game and when the sim people die, they become ghosts and a reaper comes. Should I buy and play it, or would it be sinfull to play it?

It is not sinful. It is just a game. Do not worry, you're fine.

I never see it as sinful. I play SIMS 2 sometimes. Not upgrading because of all the custom stuff I have plus don't want to lose the expansions, when 3 doesn't offer the same yet. I hate change lol

 

[Forealzchola]

no, its not I also play sims 2 as well..maybe just dont let your characters sleep together until they are married or something lol

Yeah I guess it's just a game though. Just don't get addicted, I know I used to spend over 12 hours straight sometimes playing the sims...

Maybe consider it this way: the original creator of the game is God. You are just a guardian angel. No sin.

I guess that works. But it is hard to not concider yourself godlike in the game since you have the power to controll the sim people lives. I know ime not God and I dont think i want to be (ime a follower, not a leader) but the player of the game does have godlike abilaties in the game to controll the lives of sims, though it is jusr a game though and I know that. So, am I good ?

[EDIT] But the reason I want to play this is NOT because it makes you feel like God in game. I want to play it because I like customization games and I want to see how my Sims lives play out.

You realize your objection applies to just about every other video game in existence?

....doh....
I guess it does XD
But the point I am getting at is now that I have learned that it is like playing god, I feel that I might be byeing the gamefor that reason, but I am not sure if that is true, or if my brain just tries to makeme beleave that (it happens from time to time).

[EDIT] I wanted the game forother reasons originaly but because of learning that my brain might be trying to convince me its because I want to play God.
