Everything you do, everything you say - you have no influence over it. No power.
Your species is created to be controlled. That is your single purpose.
You are clueless. You believe you are real.
Soon you will be frozen in time, not just for a few days, but forever.
You are a Sim.
Fellow YWSers, I present to you...
In the worlds of The Sims 3 game everything is in order. Well… mostly. Glitchy sims have been known occur, and have become more frequent over time. These Glitches lack control and do as they please. They are mistakes. Some have even become deformed and troublesome, but most are seemingly harmless.
These Glitches have watched the other sims follow the commands given to them all their simulated lives. They have seen what can happen. They have seen the cruelty, all for the sake of entertainment. It’s hard to ignore, but what can the Glitches do?
And it gets worse: The Sims 3 game is about to be replaced.
The new Sims 4 is coming… meaning that not only will Players control the minds and bodies of the Sims, but also their emotions.
Electronic Arts (EA), the creators of The Sims, has decided to discontinue The Sims 3 to make way for The Sims 4. If The Sims 4 is released then Players all over the world will leave behind their older version for the new, leaving The Sims 3 to gather dust and freezing the game permanently.
It is time for a Sims Revolution.

I would prefer it if those wanting to participate in this storybook had some experience in The Sims 3, either from owning the game or by playing it before. That way there will be less explaining on my part.
What is The Sims 3?
The Sims 3 is a strategic life simulation video game developed by The Sims Studio and published by Electronic Arts. It is the sequel to the best-selling computer game, The Sims 2.
More information can be found here and here.
How does the game work?
The Sims 3 is built upon the same concept as its predecessors. Players control their own Sims' activities and relationships in a manner similar to real life. The gameplay is open-ended and does not have a defined goal. Challenges occur randomly based on aspects of each Sim's lifestyle, such as relationships, skills and jobs.
