I just bought my sister Sims 3 on her birthday which was last Wednesday (June 2). This is an onter example of an "virtual" community. The sims are created by the players and are given likes and dislikes, stats, etc. You can speak to other sims and is based off of "real life." What does this mean for someone who is handicapped and cannot go outside to enjoy other people's company? Is the a suitable replacement? I do not believe this is a suitable replacement, but it can give someone enjoyment. Also, it gives people a sense of community, even when nobody is there. Some people can only be active during the night for whatever circumstances and this may be the only way they can interact, even it is "virtual."
