The word “stimming” refers to self-stimulating behaviors, usually involving repetitive movements or sounds. Everybody stims in some way. It's not always clear to others. Used to diagnose autism.

stimming

Stim, stims or stimming is short for "self stimulation". Almost everyone does it(tapping feet, cracking knuckles, twiddling thumbs), but in autistic people these behaviors are more pronounced and may seem downright strange. Autistic people often engage in stimming when they are stressed, to self regulate and sometimes to express emotion.

Common autistic stims are: rocking back and forth, headbanging(not the music kind), finger flicking/rippling, spinning, humming, repeating words or sounds and complex body contortions.
Good music makes me stim a lot.

Stimming shouldn't be discouraged, it's a means for me to understand my environment.

Sims 2

A life-simulator that has managed to expertly tap into everyone's inner control freak. It is a lot of fun and, as said before, very addictive.

Eerily life-like virtual people get jobs, spouses, friends, home furnishings, and children. They have hobbies, wants, fears, aspirations, and drama within their social circles. It's so creepy how real they can become.

You the player are in control of everything they do and can make each sim's life perfect or a living hell - and everthing in between. Eventually Sims get old and die. Hopefully they've raised good children so their family tree can continue growing once their gone - if that's the way you'd like to play. It's totally up to you.
"My Sim is unemployed, his wife wants only to "WooHoo" with 3 other Sims, their children are failing school, the repo men are taking the refrigerator and the toilet is clogged. What am I supposed to do?"
"Delete the family and make a new one, it's just a game."
"NOOOOOO!"
