13 Rules of Life According to The Sims

Don't trust anyone. Facts? Don't be fooled. "Facts" are merely a scheme, a global conspiracy aimed at hiding the truth from us. And let me tell you – in post-truth times, the only real source of knowledge about life are The Sims, so pay good attention.

Even if you work as a janitor, a chauffeur will drive you to work

The sun has not yet risen, but the chauffeur is waiting. As you can see, everyone deserves a company car, even the workers who could get to work in their own car, or... I don't know, a horse? - 13 Rules of Life According to The Sims - dokument - 2019-09-23
The sun has not yet risen, but the chauffeur is waiting. As you can see, everyone deserves a company car, even the workers who could get to work in their own car, or... I don't know, a horse?

In the end, the information is especially interesting for people who use public transport, bicycles, and kick scooters (at least those who do it out of necessity, not choice). Here's a chance for you to spend the daily commute at the back seat of the car sent by the employer, with just music, or your own thoughts (this option may not be particularly comfortable for everyone – on Monday mornings, etc.)

For some reason, company and human resources executives are reluctant to share this privilege with their employees. It's hard to logically explain this, because cars are part of house appliances anyway. You just don't know you can enter them. Next time you go out the house or block, pay attention to this fact. There will be a car nearby. If it's not there, you should just wait a few minutes. After it arrives, just sit back and relax.

If there are more cars and you're not sure which one to get into, consider what career level you're currently at. If it's not too high, don't count on a miracle, but remember that a Civic is also a decent car (so says Jeremy Clarkson, so it must be true). The higher you are, the better the car. And that, in fact, is the whole secret.

PROGRESS AND GREEN IDEOLOGY

Currently, the Sims no longer use these services. It's about the environment – you may have noticed that they don't have the slightest problem with smog. That's because they choose to teleport. They leave the house and just materialize at work. That's not something we are able to do, but perhaps when everyone starts driving with chauffeurs and there are huge traffic jams all over the country, entrepreneurs will invest in this innovative mode of transportation. Everything is in your hands.

No that you know what's really important, you can take the knowledge to the world out there.
