Started a new save in The Sims 4. A married couple named Ma and Pa. They live on the largest possible lot with no electricity or running water or internet access. The only thing they're able to eat is whatever they can grow, raise or forage. I'm pretending its the 1890s.
All of their crops are out of season. Their windmill that supplies electricity breaks every time it rains. Every waking hour of their life is toiling in the garden or tending to livestock. They live in a single bedroom sod house with pennies to their name and have to walk to the river to collect water.
They've almost starved to death multiple times. Pa has been electrocuted fixing the windmill several times. The livestock runs away constantly because it can't get groomed in time. The farm dog is sick constantly. They constantly rock uncomfortable moodlets because they're sore from their farm toil.
This is the most fun I've had in the sims in forever. Why is Great Depression Simulator so fun.
They have an infant son now. I feel like the mom sim hates him and resents him because she randomly gets "very angry" moodlets whenever she's interacting with him and regularly leaves him outside in the rain where he's stepped on by farm animals. Slow down there Casey Anthony we need him to survive the winter so he can be forced to toil the land like his father before him haven't you seen Little House on the Prairie
