Just another shitty day in paradise

I wonder how many kids will go to college and REALLY think those things are for blowing bubbles.  I didn't think anyone would be fooled by that! Of course, I grew up in the 60's, so I've seen a lot of bongs in my life. *sigh* Days gone by. |

Does it have to have one? This is a game. Not all objects/concepts translate well to RL situations/behaviors.
Well, it should to a certain extent unless rohina is a giant conspiracy to cause mass confusion. As far as I know, I'm not a conspiracy, but I have been known to cause confusion. Especially amongst the bubble-blowing fraternity. (Sorry - I thought the hookah reference was entirely obvious.) |

This is so clearly the derivation of the "bubble blower" that I halfway expected it to lower the Hunger meter.

LMAO!!! I always think that too!!! It would be funny if they got up with their hunger almost depleted and started having wants very much like a sim with a "grilled cheese" aspiration, ie--"serve grilled cheese", "talk about grilled cheese", "draw a picture of grilled cheese", etc. |

When I installed Uni recently, I used Merola's mirror to check out the bubble blowees...assuming it would lower the hunger meter, just to watch.  Meanwhile, aside from being funny, it's pretty useless for my kind of play....and I cringe when my kids use it in their game. ------- OT, what else is new: Elvira! I just noticed/read your avatar for the first time. I'm in stitches! It does look like Michael Jackson!!  That hysterical. MJ, the next and final step. --------------- |

If Sims use the bubble blower too much, it should change them to Grilled Cheese aspiraton! When I first showed my son the bubble blower, he exclaimed, "It's a goddamn hookah!" And I remember seeing real hookahs in antique shops before recreational drugs became really popular. Hook PS. My name isn't derived from hookah, it's part of my real last name.  |

If some is good and more is better, then too much ought to be just about right.

Better yet, a bubble blower aspiration would be realistic. They'd let bubbles and pixie sticks consume their lives, and their LTW would be "live to Elder".

When mine want time wasting items like bubble blowers and mp3 players I set them on fire. |

Well, I considered the bubble-blower a bong from the beginning. Nice try, maxis.  But from my personal experience what I've heard my friends say, bongs do not play "pop goes the weasel" all the live long day. Now, that's annoying! |

Maybe you your friends didn't buy the right bong.

Simslice maybe? Anyway, smoking a joint sure made their hunger go down. I thought the bubble pipe would make them hungry too. |

Oh, it was the right stuff, I assure you they have assured me. I had that same attached to the wall thing in Sims 1. I think that was back when simslice was free. |

With the Jefferson Airplane reference in the name of the thing, do they expect an old hippy not to know what it really is.
Don't remember where I downloaded it from -- but there is a hack of this object that does blow smoke instead of bubbles.
