Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you create this blog?
I've seen other Sims 2 stories based on TV shows, and as an avid watcher, I thought Jon & Kate Plus 8 was ripe for parody.

Have Jon & Kate seen it?
I don't know. I did post links to a couple of online forums known to be frequented by Jon. I'm sure it was just coincidence that I was quickly banned without explanation from one of them. :-)

Why don't the Googlers have eight children?
In the Sims 2 game, you can have a maximum of eight people per house. So I had to choose between having twins and quadruplets, or having sextuplets. I could have downloaded a hack to get around that, but ultimately decided against that while planning this blog. I do try to keep this a parody, not a documentary.

Is this all that you do with your life?
No. I know how and when to turn my computer off.

Why don't you update more often?
I do have a life and I don't want this blog to eat up my free time. That's why I update once a month. I work on it one week out of four.

What Sims 2 expansion packs are you using?
All of them. I have all of the stuff packs except for the Christmas one.

Where did you get the activity table and the violin?
The children's activity table and violin came with the Free Time expansion pack. Click Here to Read More..
