If you want something done right...

... do it yourself, right?

Well, as usual, this is just another one of those things that gets taken to the extreme in the world of The Sims.

So this burglar (stylish, isn't he?) breaks into someone's house and is surprised by a state-of-the-art alarm system. It goes off ringing and buzzing and sending waves of whatever-the-hell-that-is through the air and scares the poor guy, er... I mean the stupid bastard half to death.

The police get there soon enough, as he's still too dazed to run away, but at the sight of the uniform he quickly snaps out of it and attacks the officer - no, he's not trying to hug and kiss the policeman... even if he's thinking of diamonds, I don't believe he's about to propose or anything... but then again, you never know with these guys...

Startled and disgruntled, the police officer is overpowered and falls to the ground not so sure about what just happened. Luckily for him, the house belongs to our martial arts expert. She jumped out of bed straight into this mess determined to put an end to it herself - or, at the very least, turn the damned alarm off!!!

The burglar never saw her coming - as you can see, he's still thinking of diamonds... and even looks a little surprised to see the officer's odd reaction to his unusual approach (or maybe he really is thinking of proposing...)

The lady in the pyjamas grabs the burglar by the neck and actually puts on quite a street fighting show which impresses even the police officer! I guess it shows just how ticked off she must have been - who needs martial arts skills when you can just smash the robber's face in and show the police how it's done? Nothing like a good fistfight in the middle of the night to help you sleep soundly till morning...

Now... if only the damned alarm would shut the hell up!

You're in the Army now

At one point in her life, she decided to mess with her Karma and joined the Military career...

I guess she was getting fed up of all that Zen aura she came back with from China and wanted to get the adrenaline pumping back into her system - and she also wanted to mess with her Karma...

To take it a bit farther and really show off her new in-your-face attitude (messing with her Karma and with her superiors at work), she zenported herself right to the gates of the military base she worked at...)

That was fun - soon enough she was taken inside, questioned and water-boarded... well, maybe not water-boarded, but strongly advised to share her knowledge of that obviously alien technology she was using in the name of who-knows-what! 

Zen trance

Now this is a neat little trick she picked up in China... This is Yoga taken to the next level - to the ultimate level!

If she concentrates hard enough she can meditate and float and even.. teleport (or zenport as it's called in the world of The Sims)! This is way too cool!

Here she had just gained the ability and she just couldn't seem to get enough of the stuff... (I'll soon show you what zenporting looks like)

Showing off

No, she isn't celebrating that she just got asked on a date by that handsome lighthouse operator she's been keeping an eye on...

But yes, this display of physical fitness does have something to do with him - she's showing off her martial arts skills (and flexibility) to him.

Let's just hope she doesn't scare the poor guy off (assuming he's not too busy to notice her - or sleeping through the day as he works all night!). After all, what shape would he be left in if he happened to make a wrong move around her? I guess he's got a pretty good idea about that if he happens to be watching her right now...)

Let them fight

While some find the path to enlightenment by kicking everyone's ass on the way there (a perfectly legitimate approach, as long as I don't cross their paths), others evolve beyond that and choose to sit around and call it The Lotus Position...

You have to agree that it's much softer on your bone structure and much better for your life expectancy. It may not be much of an adrenaline rush but hey, who needs that when sitting on the floor and looking enlightened can even score you a few points in the eyes of the opposite sex? (that guy in white doesn't fool me - he's totally checking out my enlightened redhead!)

Sparring in town

This brunette was looking for a fight - and I was kind enough to bring it to her, completely obliterating her in the process! Right there in the middle of a town square in France, complete with an audience and all. See the guy in the upper left corner? No, he's not yawning - he was rooting for one of us, even if I was too busy to notice which one of us he was rooting for.

Anyway, I'm at Level 10 in Martial Arts, so she never stood a chance!
