Homeless in the Sims

I played the Sims a while back. It was boring. I couldn't deal with computer characters that took 45-minute-long showers in the mornings and then kept missing their carpools. As if the irritating details of real life aren't bad enough.

Maybe the key is giving your Sims some kind of actual, serious conflict, like making them homeless with an abusive parent. This makes the game seem actually interesting.
