I don't own the SIMS1 and I don't know if I'll buy the SIMS2.
I love the mad scientist lab and the aliens living in the haunted house, but taking care of grandparents, dealing with brothers' brawls, managing the child's cries, coping with my teenager's problems with the police...
Well, I have enough of my life !
I don't watch sitcoms nor "reality" TV.

This said, there is probably a segment of users common to Poser and the SIMS.
Their common interest is simple : sex.

The SIMS2 site makes heavy use of sexy pictures : kisses, women tearing off their bust covers, teenagers kissing, adults rolling on the sofa, teenagers in school uniforms, women's brawl...

On the Poser end, well, we all have seen in the galleries (here or elsewhere) a huge number of terrible pictures whose only focus was to depict a certain number of people (well, mostly people) indulging in various degrees or forms of sexual intercourse.

I think there is definitely a market for a program that would allow one to chose the cast and modify the partners according to one's own tastes (blonde dark skinned alien mixer for instance) and hit the "have sex" button, with the possibility to choose some imposed figures.
A "bondage SIMS" add-on would probably sell like hot cakes.

As Ynsaen put it so cleverly, this is not Art,just entertainment. But Veritas might be right himself when he says that there could be a bunch of money to make in this field.
