Shane and Carmen (and some others) - The Sims 2 Style

I spent several hours this week playing The Sims 3. Between juggling multiple households in-game and catching up on my favorite sci-fi shows, I found these old Sims 2 screenshots I took in March while I was still new to The Sims franchise.

Some of you might already be familiar with Shane McCutcheon and Carmen de la Pica Morales of The L Word and their doomed love story. They were one of my favorite couples on the show until Mama Chaiken rained down her wrath on her meta-masturbatory opus and decided that the lesbians of this planet didn't need Sharmen anymore.

But what cannot be had on TV can be had on a computer, specifically in a game where you play God. Barely two weeks into The Sims 2, I had begun consuming vast amounts of custom content available for free download on the Interwebs. It wasn't long before I had a Shane McHeartbreaker doll sitting in my game and a Carmen Sexbomb to go along.

Being the lothario that Shane is, she had a great time flirting and making out with the local ladies. However, in utter contradiction to the show, she didn't have a long list of conquests yet. It seemed that in my Kingdom, Shane McHeartbreaker was waiting for her Carmen Sexbomb to come along.

[Making out with I don't remember whom. And the reason Shane is wearing that horrid camouflage suit I downloaded is that the original game didn't have anything else butch enough.]

Which she did. And soon.

[Sharmen on a date]

Up sprang the "Wants":

[Shane's Want]

[Carmen's Want]

Making out on the bed before "WooHooing":

[That's a Linkin Park bedspread. Yeah, yeah... I know what you're thinking.]

The morning after:

[I gave her a set of Green Day's "American Idiot" undies, so what? I'm just a geek like that... Playing God, after all.]

And... The following evening:

[Shane - back to her old ways. I think her new date was a colleague she brought home from work.]


That was The Sims 2 and four months ago. The Sims 3 is the rage now. For a look at what this Sim God has been up to lately, check out my next post. Cheers! ^_^
