How it began and why I like the Sims 3?

By Lola Peach


I've always liked playing simulation games. I could sit and play these games for ages and truly get in the feeling. However , I had not owned a single sims game.

Once when I was leaving a certain company, my team brought me a copy of Sims 1 Pets. Their excuse was I liked pets and I also liked simulation games. They assumed I had already own the The Sims collection. I shortly realised this was an expansion pack and not a stand-alone game, which lead to me buying the first game, The Sims and all expansion packs leading up to the one I had received.

From that day onwards, I have never looked back. It's been Sims all the way. I can recollect being thrilled about Sims 2, we could finally see other lots in the neighbour. By the end of The Sims 2 franchise, sims managed to travel round the area lots, travel internationally to sunny destinations and explore, they managed to have pets, have different season of the year and own their own businesses. I was quite content with all we had, till The Sims 3 was launched.

Sims 3 opened a gigantic door for players. We were able to see the whole area, shops, neighbours, parks, beaches, diners, etc. You could see all the sims of your home wherever they are in the town. I am still annoyed that we can't see within some building (rabbit holes), but perhaps which will come later in another expansion pack.

It's nice to be able go out with your sims at watch them socialize at parties, look in other sim's homes and often be nosey. They can drive automobiles, motorbikes and scooters around town.

I suspect I will be playing sims till a ripe old age.
