So, what does this entire thing tell us now? We witnessed two different lives, two different fates, both very distinct in the amount of freedom they possessed and foremost, both very entertaining in their own way. But looking back at it in all seriousness for a moment, we have to ask ourselves: did the Sky with the free will REALLY have a free will after all? Or wasn't she rather determined by forces even higher than me? Looking back at what we stated in the theoretical part, there is still another determining factor: the programming. And while the themselves controlled, but still controlling factor (the puppy/me) refuses to act, the higher or superior controlling factor (the puppy's owner/the programming) still has the overall control and the overall say in the given reality (the playpen/the world of the Sims). In easier: even if I don't control Sky, she's still not free of her world's natural law, which is the programming. For example, she may have not been able to leave her home, simply because the programming didn't leave her that option. Maybe it prohibited her from seeing the fences of her own playpen, and it would have been my task to show her a life beyond this very first set of boundaries. She never tried to break free, because she never knew she could. So... does this mean that we need a determining force in our life? Maybe. Is it my fault that she ended up dead? Maybe. Do I feel guilty? Not at all.
