MICHAEL (blonde guy with blue/ green top and shorts): Dude... wassup?

Hi! Are you guys ready?

ELEANOR (blonde in blue jumpsuit): No-- actually this is freaking me out! I've heard about this Study before. The last group of Sims who did this had to live in really crappy conditions for a few days.

You're right-- but what's a little discomfort for a short while? Besides, would you rather be back in university, listening in on another one of Professor Heissman's boring lectures, or here being part of a historic study?

GERALD (black dude in khakis): Got a point there! I'd rather experience water torture than be in his class! Since this isn't water torture, I guess I can handle this!

That's the spirit! So let's begin, shall we?

CREATING YOUR FAMILY

Okay, now-- first things first: your family. When you first create the members of your household, make sure some of them have Super Neatness points (Virgoes). The reason why is simple: having too many Sims with low neatness points can be a chore, what with having to clean up after them all the time. But if you have a lot of Neat Freaks, the house will practically clean itself. You don't have to make all of your Sims Neat Freaks-- just enough of them so that you won't have to waste time cleaning up after everyone on a constant basis.

MICHAEL: So, Emma-- with you being such a neat freak and me being a slob, I guess that makes you my personal maid-- tee hee! Hope you'll enjoy cleaning up after me for the next two weeks!

EMMA (nerdy girl with glasses): Cleaning up after you? Would that include laundering your bed sheets? I mean, you do have that little bedwetting problem, right?

EVERYBODY: OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
