* While most of the game is about how much the Plan will harm humanity, you can see cruelty to ''animals'' become increasing rampant in the later sims. By 2071, the city zoo -- once a guardian of animal welfare -- has "EXTINCT" signs on most of its exhibits... and what few animals remain are tortured in public sessions by the zoo itself!

* The entire story of your son Mitchell under the Plan. In 2061, when he is 21, he abandons you and your wife Jill to go join the Church of God's Word cult, despite Jill's attempts to talk sense into him. In 2071, he ''returns'' with the Church Police to raid your apartment and coldly arrest Jill -- his own mother -- for heresy. You are beaten by the police for even moving, and when they are all gone, you are left alone on the floor, a frail old man in pain, shut off forever "from the son you cannot understand and the wife you will never see again." It's a testament to how well the game is written that even though you only see Mitchell and Jill in a few fleeting moments over the various decades, this event ''still'' manages to punch you in the gut (especially if you're a parent yourself).
