Playing with Dolls started out as a stupid little feature on my personal site, ironcircus.com. It went in the Miscellaneous section, because I didn't really consider it a comic. I still don't. But it's sequential and uses pictures to tell a story, so I suppose in the strictest, McCloudian sense, it might be. Who knows.
The principal characters are named the Experiment family because I never intended to keep using them as long as I have. They were experiments; I was just learning the game. But after a few hours of ordering them around, I got kind of attached. I guess it shows. Lucky them.
I have a lot more screenshots and drivel to put up, since I tend slack on posting the chapters of the story and just play the game. But I always get around to it eventually, so stay tuned. This is going to be horrible.
In case you're interested, Playing with Dolls uses the following third-party hacks, art, and adjustments:
The InTeenimater, which allows for Adult/Teen and Teen/Teen romantic relationships, pregnancy, and marriage.
The Nude Patch removes the censorship blur from bathing and crapping Sims.
Paradise Sims provides the anatomically correct skins.
Hair, clothing, and objects were downloaded from:

- Simtastic

Playing with Dolls is dedicated in spirit to Miami attorney Jack Thompson, for his tireless work in elevating farcical prudishness to a fine art. Thanks, Jack.
