Tolkien Sims!

[THE Ka]

What's guinea pig disease?

I believe it's only in the first Sims, and it occurs when you buy a guinea pig with cage. If you're lucky enough, you might have your Sim survive at least a few days before they finally announce their new found speciality. Or, you buy the one guinea pig that isn't in a perpetual bad mood.

The Sims 2 Pets (I love this expansion, though I really wish they had horses, or the vet career at least. I mean, pets, come'on...) has a wombat instead. I've had practically every kid in the sims bitten by one (because Sim children are obsessed with wombats for some odd reason. Your Sim family can have a parrot, three dogs and a million odd cats, but that kid still has a 'want a wombat' aspiration that: Won't. Go. Away.), but no disease as of yet. In the second Sims, they will randomly catch an illness ranging from 'cold' to the ever so popular 'flu'.

Though, I kindof wish they'd throw in a 'Wombat Disease' for good measure, since you can have your Sims turn into Werewolves (I've been trying to turn some of my LOTR Sims into wolvies, just for the comic aspect of merging Werewolf with them). Apparently the Nightlife expansion has vampires, but we all know werewolves are much more fun.

One of them had Arwen's pointed ears, and one didn't. Weird.

That is always annoying, but I guess it helps to tell them apart until they can change their appearance in the mirror. Though, methinks they have inherited something from their grandfather and grand-uncle *dun dun dun*.
