The Sims is a life-building simulation with emphasis on intimate details of individual characters rather than expansion of an entire society or civilization. You are in control of nearly every aspect of the lives of the individuals who make up your chosen population in the neighborhood. Characters are developed from the ground up and you infuse and mold them with personalities, looks, desires, moods, urges, living arrangements, career and personal choices, life styles, and reactions.

Играла всегда один раз в жизни у подруги. И на тот момент я уже познала все прелести жизни в The sims 3. Сидя за компьютером тогда, я так и не поняла как в это играть. Я не могу сказать ничего плохого, но с точностью скажу что это продукт не моего времени.
What can I say about The Sims? A game genre that dared to be different and was extremely successful because of that, releasing numerous packs over the years that added more items, pets and so much more!
This series ended up being quite the money magnet for it's creators, though only for a niche audience, let's be honest. Not everyone will love this kind of game and to essentially play your own fantasy life with hilarious consequences like trying to make breakfast and causing a fire that kills everyone!
Being the first, it was pretty limited and the additions were pretty dizzying. Especially for a game of it's kind of this time too. This was long before companies were abusing their games with microtransactions.
My ex actually, showed me how you can kill a sim. One popular way I knew was removing the ladder to the pool when they're in it and they eventually drown, but she took pleasure in tormenting the mini version of her brother by having him sealed in a room to starve to death. Pretty funny how this game could allow you to be as sadistic as possible and I often found the personalities of the Sims would reflect their real life counterparts pretty well. To a scarily accurate degree as the series went on.

My sister's family was the Sparklesteins. Mine was the Moorcocks.
The Sims was bombastic, life-changing, even, back in the now ancient year of 2000.
I swear to y'all: I couldn't wrap my childish mind around the idea of a life simulation game hyped to be so deep. It wasn't as deep as I expected back then (I expected The Sims 3 right off the bat), but it was amazing as it was.
The Sims 1 is iconic. Now that I'm balding and getting a pouch belly, I think a lot about Bob Newbie, who was bald, had a pouch, and what looked like garbage juices spread around his clothes. I've never looked as dirty as Bob Newbie, but, who knows? Give me some time.
The songs are a whole thing in this game. Are children ready for jazz? Are children ready for the most melancholic piano pieces since the XIXth century? People at Maxis judged this questions and decided that yes, children deserved to hear amazing, mature music.
I remember the somberest of pieces, which popped in sometimes in building mode. That song made me suddenly reflexive and a little afraid. Sometimes I got a prank call a little after hearing the somber song. "You have been warned. They're coming for you" - said the trickster looking happy mask on the phone. After that, young me could barely move his legs to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. The Sims 1 spooked me like that.
I used a bazillion cheat codes for TS1. If you think that real adults lives are too busy, grindy and unrewarding, you should really experience The Sims 1 to see how bad all that stuff can get. The Sims 1 is a distopic capitalist experience. I'm sure that someone already defended this on some reddit post or youtube video, because it is so true. The Sims 1 is a game in which you NEGLECT YOUR NEEDS in order to PROGRESS at WORK, and you'll HAVE NO FRIENDS.
You'll poop for FORTY MINUTES, cook for TWO HOURS, call someone to your house, and then hug them until your sim FALL ON THE FLOOR FROM EXAUSTION. The time economy is bananas, and it is crooked against you.
Will I ever play The Sims 1 again? I don't think so. But I'll never forget this game and all the ideas and experiences that surrounded it. I love The Sims.
