OMG this so much...I have challenge ADHD, and almost always have like 7 going on at a time...and ironically, have yet to finish one due to computer malfunctions or what have you.

Also, I have totally dreamed that I was a sim - in a LUCID dream....and yes, I kept checking the color of my plumbob.

When you have to stop yourself from calling someone by their well-known sim doppelganger name...like I know a guy who looks just like Goopy in real life...but that's not his name!

Oh, my gosh! Challenge ADD!

I'm only going to actually POST my Badass Alphabetocalypse until I finish it, or my computer explodes. However, I now have a whopping 10 neighborhoods, all with different challenges! Some of them I won't finish, of course, but...

Right now, I'm playing "Murder is Sweet" with my founder, H.P. Lovecraft, who is gearing up to join the secret society, so he can swipe the bone phone and cow plant, and then kill all his dormies as soon as he graduates. Hahahahahaahaaaaaa! I'm so blood-thirsty. I even put clip-art of dripping blood on my presentation background for that one. FUN!

And have you ever been asked to describe someone you know to another person, and said, "Hmmmm, kind of face 1, but with Komei's nose, and Benjamin Long's hair."

Precisely!!!

Oh, yeah! And "Don't Ya Wish Your Girlfriend Bo Cheep Bo Cheep!" or whatever it is in English.

When you read Sims legacy stories, and try to move the camera around, so you can get a better angle to see the person standing juuuuust behind the character getting the face time, because he's your favorite. "Why won't it... Oh, flergle!"

Also, when "flergle" becomes your swear-word of choice.

THIS!

You read a name and instead of the name think of the name of a favorite legacy/family. This just happened to me, I read Alana Massey and it got transformed in my head to Almassy...yeah.

When you occasionally have to squash snicker at introductions to new people, because you're thinking of a sim from someone's legacy.

When the only way to get through clothes shopping is to remind yourself that you'd like all these items for your sims...

This!
There's an estate agent in my town called "Gage" which is ordinary enough, but I will always associate it with Gage Uglacy!

When you delete your downloads folder at least once a month and go on a download spree, taking up most of your week. xx

When you say "nooboo" instead of baby.

When you've been up simming for almost 24 hours straight but can't tear yourself away from the computer...

Waitwait! You mean "nooboo" is Simlish, and not something that people say in real life, that the game creators added to the game for increased verisimilitude? Because I could swear I hear people using it in real life, and have, for at least a decade.

Wait...

Define real life, please?

You know you're addicted to Sims and Boolprop when: this is a real conversation that happens...

I was out with my friends at a trivia game night thing (lol) and we were talking about responsibilities...

And I was like "well English isn't even my biggest concern, I've been neglecting my internet obligations for months now-"
And all of my friends there, almost in perfect unison said, "YOU MEAN THE SIMS?"

Don't know if any of this has been mentioned yet (and I don't recall posting this myself) but:

When you spend all day at work just waiting for time to go home and be with your sims.

When you actually develop a fondness for names, especially odd ones, and realize it's because you're always needing/wanting names for your sims.
Bonus points if you actually get this seemingly golden "ah-ha" moment when you find that special one that you KNOW you'll use ASAP.

When you drag people at work into a game of who can come up with the worst names. And insist on playing even when everyone has grown tired of this "game" a.k.a. plot to find new names.

When you're constantly on the lookout for a fun new naming-theme for another gen. of legacy kids, even compiled several lists of various themes, and haven't gotten out of the first generation yet.

When the homework just keeps piling up...

When you have sim nightmares.

I had a dream the other night that my sim was in a small room with only one exit and a fire happened. She couldn't get out and she died! I was devastated!

You seriously consider building yourself a plumbbob so you can go to ACEN as a sim.

(You also procrastinate packing and stuff so you end up not having the time to make anything anyway...)

When you spend your lessons at school browsing CC ;_;

When you start playing in the morning after a little while you think "I'll take a break" and it's been 13 hours.

OMG YES.

You make sim versions of your friends, family and their pets.

When you intend to buy a xylophone, shape box and talking crank toy for your baby.
