if there is one thing i noticed, its that the games are all called SIM becuase they are boring pieces of crap

You know some of these ideas might be worth doing just for the comedy value. Imagine, if you will, an adventure game based around the life of a poor twenty-something who sells meat doughtnuts during the day (Sim Meat Doughnut), works as a doorman at night (Sim Doorman), and must get through traffic to get there (Sim Traffic). Of course, there''d be a larger plot going on, so you wouldn''t be getting nowhere.

Lol Sim Afghanistan, that''s great.

The other day, my friend and I were thinking about how cool it''d be if we went over and started Afghani Online. And when you sign on, Osama would say "You''ve got mail!"

How bout Sim Professional Wrestler Costume Designer. You design the stupidest clothes you can and see how many people like it anyway.

Or maybe Sim Male Cheer Leader. You have to take psychological abuse everyday but after school, you get to look up cheer leaders'' skirts.
Sim Window-Washer;
You live in New York City, you start on the street trying to wash windshields, while at the same time avoid getting run over and putting up with the "finger" all day long, Eventually you move on to bigger and better buildings and skyscrapers, avoid pidgeon crap and wind gusts. Woohoo, you even get to occationally peep into windows and watch interoffice romances? Could be interesting.
Sim Religion - create your own belief and manage to convince others your belief is the true one.

Heh, this thread is funny.

Try Grand Theft Tricycle with babies in diapers and a bottle of milk in their mouth. Who can possibily resist babies? Hey, this could actually attract female players... o_O.
