I've been reading up on the posts and I have to admit that I have most of the simstoms listed :p
Dreaming about Sims - Check
Analysing people in terms of Traits and Moodlets - Check
Jealous cat who likes to sleep on my Keyboard While I'm playing -Check
Denial about being able to quit at any time (yeah right
) - Check
Talking about my sims families to "normal" people and getting weird looks - Check.
In other words this game should be banned as something that creates dependency
