You essentially play God in Sims as you instruct your avatars to use the bathroom, cook food, go to sleep, and find a job. This franchise, in all of its various expansion packs and releases, has been a constant source of entertainment for me to escape reality. The Sims was released in 2000 which means I’ve been playing Sims for 20 years. Building my dream house, making my fake family (with the occasional murder by fire), and forcing everyone to “woohoo” are some of my fondest memories. After popping the CD into my desktop computer in my parent’s basement, hours would easily pass by, whole lives would be lived. I was ten years old when the virtual world of The Sims was released.
