If there were a president in the sims 2 game, who would it be?

or...

Who would you choose as your two candidates?

This is not pertaining to the recent American presidential election, yet inspired by it - please don't share discourse about the American election in this thread

Sim Sample!



No work and free drinks for every sim!

His sidekick (or first man, or deputy or however you want to put it) would be @andrewgloria , who- whilst not a sim himself, he wants to be a sim, and I'm sure no-one could disagree that the sims in andrewgloria's Veronaville are the happiest and most well looked after sims EVER.

(Andrewgloria would do all the actual work and policy making, and Sim Sample would just look cool. Or something.)

And you know what? You both have my vote

God, yes, please put AndrewGloria in charge! No more poverty or death!

I have a setup that's an agricultural colony that lost contact with the mothership and the leader - an elder when I made the hood - will die soon, at which point I need to appoint a new one. This was part of the original plan. But I was a little vague about how to play the competition for new leader, with a vague idea about the sim with the most friends, or the Popularity sim with the most friends, getting elected and taking over the leader's house and its little extras - a computer and access to aspiration rewards, an extra bathroom. But I didn't mesh that concept very well with other parts of the neighborhood setup, in which each household consists of four adults of varied genetics, each contractually obliged to breed with two other members of the household, with both artificial insimination and anti-jealousy potions available to facilitate the matter. Well, if I go with the Popularity sim with the most friends, that'll be a member of a group marriage that already produced one set of twins and a singleton and is on second pregnancies already. If she moves the whole household over there, the leader's house will be too small, and the house she leaves behind is too big the leader's son's family - which at that time will consist solely of the leader's son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. So she should only take some members of her household and how could she pick? She wouldn't want that and would probably not compete! So I don't know what to do and I'm too depressed after the US election to play it right now anyhow. I will take suggestions for the future, though.

I don't know Sim Sample personally but to me he gives off a Zaphod Beeblebrox vibe, minus the extra head, of course. Who of course was president of the whole galaxy.

Peni, I sympathize with your dilemma, as one of the biggest blocks of my Sims playing is moving house and the hassle that entails. I think a little timeout is the best solution. Come back with fresh eyes and perhaps a solution will come to you.

I could only choose from all the premades I am familiar with. And in accordance with the laws of the universe, anyone who I could think of who actually should be president wouldn't actually want the job, and vice versa. So I think it will come down to a campaign between General Buzz Grunt and Mary-Sue Pleasant, with neither candidate being really ideal.

Well, you know, he is so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in him for a month. He is so hip he has difficulty seeing over his pelvis. Or as The Therapist put it, "Well look, Sim's just zis guy, ya know?"

Oh, if SimSample gets elected, Andrew Gloria would be VP and Peni Griffin can be Secretary of State.

I wanna be Secretary of the Interior, which means that I get to stay inside all day and play games on the computer..

I am honoured to be selected as Sim Sample's nominee for Vice President. It makes me feel quite unworthy. However I am totally behind Sim Sample's bid for the Presidency. I am certain he is the leader that we need to make the Sim Nation great again! And I promise to do my best to eliminate death and poverty among Sims. In the twelve years since I first arrived in Veronaville, no one has died there, nor indeed in any of my other neighbourhoods. Indeed no one has even grown old -- all the Elders in my game are either pre-mades, in-game generated NPCs, or else I made them in CAS as Elders.

I just feel obliged to repost this picture, given the topic at hand...

Then im secretary of cats

Quite motivational...yet what do you and Simsample have to say about the recent skyrocketing rise in alien abductions? I mean...there have been a good few happening in Pleasantview - which could start a war with Strangetown!

Yeah, cool and hoopy!

Is the Presidency inheritable? We might end up with an alien president. XD

Well...that's up for debate

Lets make a poll!
Press Agree - Presidency is inheritable
Press Disagree - Every year we have a presidential election

Presidential elections could still include aliens.

Wheres President Nyssa when you need her?

Both are wrong, in USA

I know that, but lets start reading

Are you team llama or team cow?

? I was not commenting about politics, except to say that THOSE TWO CHOICES aren't possible here> on other hand thought it was a joke

My apologies! I took it the wrong way

Well, if SimNation has equivalent presidency qualifications as the US, aliens would be disqualified on the grounds of not being natural-born SimNation citizens. (That said, Lola, Chloe, and Tycho Curious would be natural-born citizens, as would Johnny and Jill Smith.)

Those Sims who have been following the news of the recent American election in the SimCity Chronicle, might find the prospect of an annual presidential election a bit alarming.

If we're thinking of an inheritable headship of state, why not have a hereditary Grand Duchess like we have here in Veronaville?
