      Absolute foresight from the matrix to say 1999 was as good as it gets.

        Oh, totally. I’m a child of the 80s and remember them fondly. I just thought it would be a funny comment.

        Man, some of those ads were the epitome of sex sells!

    All those bottom ads are crazy, too.

    “Age 23: (sleep?) your way through the phone book. Twice.”

    “Age 40: have a midlife crises for your 40 year old with two 20’s (in a hot tub)”

    Age 100 something about spending your time reading books. Like the Kama Sutra

      Are you some sort of pixel oracle? I could not read that, even if my life depended on it.

      Given the year, this probably came from one of those “Playboy lite” men’s magazines that were popular at the time, like Maxim or FHM.

      Ironically, that is the only option you cannot do in the Sims 2.

      Screaming and Punching are both under the fight submenu, with Divorce being under its own.

      Crying is fully autonomous, and they will do it for potentially the rest of their life.–

      Several couples have selected the “divorce” option and passed those lamps on in the intervening years. You’re next, bub.

    I dated a girl in college that would have selected “all of the above” except Divorce. Why not Divorce? Because one should never marry crazy.
