I think that the naming conventions for sims are all wrong. They should be called "slims" to help maintain street cred. Oh, and it would also help if lag was called "lugz", i.e. "This slim is lugz".

Great to see you finally got around to posted this.

SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM... OHHH YEAHHH!!!

Speaking of (jokes about spinning neon signs and particle towers aside), where are all the ghetto sims? It would be worthwhile to have a recreation of a worn-down part of the neighborhood. And you know, have a big ghetto blaster on your shoulder with breakdancers and hopscotchers on the street, and a guy selling bootleg tapes out of his car... the possibilities!

Well, we could have sims named after the members of Wu-Tang Clan. I for one would wanna live in RZA, although I'd imagine some would be more into OlDirtyBastard. (RIP.)

Yeah but see I can point out several things here:


-There are (were) 9 members of Wu-Tang Clan. Again, I will say: Ol' Dirty Bastard, rest his soul in peace. That's good enough to form an entire block of new sims, not unlike previous naming themes we've had.

-In addition, there are numerous associates and distant family of the Wu. These would make for great naming of expansion blocks in proximity to the original Shaolin, you know? We could have a mini-section in honor of the Deadly Venoms, and spin-offs like the Gravediggaz.

-A great name for a vehicle sim in this area would be in honor of 4th Disciple, who is one of the praised practioners of sample stylee and a sometime pupil to the RZA.

-Private sims require... uh... a lot of bling, ya know? And with such a big Wu-Tang family, we might as well grab Magellan's continent and completely "Wu" it over. Plus, Bamboo, Bambi, Wu-Tang -- what's the difference?


Those are my suggestions.

*grins jestingly... sorta* ;)

I would suggest simz, and lagz, or l&g or something. I'm fully prepared to admit that I may be out of touch, however.
