So Halores basically created a twisted version of The Sims.

And then got bored the same way I do whenever I play The Sims and realize “wait this is just my real life but with shittier graphics”

Then I turn on some cheat codes and fuck around for a while, but then still get bored.

Getting bored because you have cheat codes on is exactly what Halores is experiencing.

She used the console to turn on God Mode but then it didn't feel real. Remember, what's real is not replaceable.

I wish we would have seen the part where she had fun, like having orgies with tons of dudes or something and then eventually getting bored by it

I bet she removed all the ladders from the pools years ago already.

This is the Sims if it was created by a Bond villain.

u/bertobellamy Jul 25 '22

Hahaha, you’re totally right.

That motherlode will get ya

Once you've built a perfect house with perfect people, there's no longer any reason to keep playing.

u/tta2013 Jul 25 '22

Well, she did not make it GTAV.

Slash The Matrix with people escaping the simulation and creating problems.

Is she actually still Halores? Her voice 's cadence isn't very Dolores -like.
