The Sims
It all began in the year 2000. Maxis had been bought by Electronic Arts and SimCity had been a great success. This is when The Sims was born. As a totally creative sandbox game, players could have free reign over their Sims – they would choose what they looked like, where they lived, what job they had and their relationships. Our addiction to the game fed seven expansion packs including the introduction of vacations, magic spells and some seriously hot dates.
Four years later and we got hooked all over again through the release of The Sims 2 – the same game we knew and loved but with so many enhancements. The 3D world was a welcome addition and the varied life stages made us grow more attached to our Sims.
Another version in 2009 kept us entertained until now, where we are now even more engrossed in The Sims 4, where our Sims can think, feel and aspire. The Sims has had incredible staying power over the years; and for its fans, it remains one of the most addictive games of all time.
