will take from one minute to thirty seconds on 3-star computer (costs
around 2LP). Though, I normally fulfill the fun need by dancing over the
stereo or watching news. They may take a bit longer, but they provide me
enough time for increasing other Sims’ needs. In fact, watching news takes
between five to three minutes, whereas dancing over the stereo will take
three to one minutes. Besides, contrary to the computer, the multiple Sims
