Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause photosensitive epileptic seizures while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Adults who allow teenagers (or children) to play the games should watch for or ask their children about these symptoms as they are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by playing in a well-lit room and by not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. Play safely Take a break from playing games at least every half hour. Stop playing immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience an unpleasant sensation or pain in your hands and/or arms. If the condition persists, consult a doctor. Use of vibration can aggravate injuries. Do not turn vibration on if you have any ailment in the bones or joints of your fingers, hands, wrists, or arms.

This here is Uncle Hayseed welcoming you to the friendliest little town in the Sim world - SimValley. I'm real glad you accepted my invitation to come and spend the Summer with us. I know you'll have a pleasant stay and I'm sure you'll agree that though SimValley is small and the pace is a mite slower here, there's plenty of things to see and do. You'll see your days here will fly by like a tin-roofed shack in a tornado. Oh - and don't worry about the locals. They're a quirky bunch, but they'll learn to love you if you treat them nicely. Just a few words of advice from your favourite wise old uncle: make sure you take care of yourself and tend to your needs so that you can put your best foot forward. Folks around here don't always take to strangers right away, so it's best to keep yourself presentable. You might think Sims can't smell you over the wafting smell of fertilizer or that anything goes now that you're in the great outdoors, but think again. I know you weren't raised in a barn, so don't act like it.
