I've read quite a few of these and now I can honestly say I'm hooked ^^ This is a brillant way to study the behavior of sims in different enviroments.
That is really interesting. I wonder what else you could potentialy do with the Sims? Mabye you could create a senario where an older brother is forced to take care of his younger sister after both their parents die?
This is so sad! I got to the part where Alice sends money to a charity ;_;
Now I want to play Sims 3

Ben PerLee, it makes me want to get Sims 3 as well :) I never played Sims 2.
I've just finished them all and they are grrrrrrrrrrreat! :]
I can't wait for it to be updated again :]

@Wandering Pixel - That actually happened inadvertently in my game. It was interesting because the older brother had to let his grades suffer by sleeping or slacking school and work in order to have enough energy to take care of his younger brother. And the ghosts of the parents (who were buried in the backyard) would keep them both up at night.
This is the first Sims game I've played and so far I'm very impressed by how simple real-life stuff translates to game mechanics. For instance I had a character who's lifetime wish was to be a great surgeon, but I had her get pregnant at the beginning of the young adult stage. Now her day to day wishes are to be a good mother, but she still wants to be a top surgeon. It's really interesting managing the resources to try and do both. Her husband is a childish loner, so he tends to play video games or frolic in the sprinkler instead of taking care of the baby :\

I'm impressed with how emergent gameplay like this can create such poignant stories. Fantastic. i might have to buy this game now.
I'm amazed at Alice's response to her first salary. Specially the fact that it was the Sim him self that did it.
I began following this a couple of days ago. I strongly suggest to anyone interested to get into it as soon as possible.
I find part of the brilliance in this heart-rending tale is that it's still in the making and we aren't promised anything, just like our own lives. I'm sure the majority of us will like this story to have a happy ending, but if it doesn't, tough shit, that's life.

I remeber a bud telling me about this a while back, not being much of a sims fan I ignored it. After reading it now though, gota admit I couldn't stop until I reached the end, an intresting little experiment.
JosephLeray, that was the most inspiring read I've had all week. I did the same---read through all of it in one sitting---and at the end, I was card-in-hand at a local charity here in Tampa. The experience is a soul-searching consideration of Games As Art, and I feel better for having stumbled upon it via Destructoid; thank you.
A local charity site, I should clarify. As much as I love to spend on myself in pursuit of gaming, I felt I could easily match the amazing generosity of Alice. $25 that I hope makes life just a little better for someone, via Metropolitan Ministries. The fact that she kept doing it was just heartbreakingly inspiring to me.
