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.
