Who cares about the stuff in the Sims, its about the personalities, I see the attraction and love it, you can make the most random decisions and see how that affects generations to come, its like one huge social experiment with endless opportunities. If you cant see the fun in raising a human character who sets fire to his kitchen then goes to sit and watch TV in the middle of it well then heck dont know..
STO for me personally was the biggest disappointment of all those games! on the list!
