The Sims - PC

I Own You

This is a no-brainer... I get to play God?!?! Yes, I've been owning, torturing, and caring for my little Sims since 2000. They've been living large for years now and it's been awesome to build them up and bring 'em down...

Get Your Sim On

The original is still the best! If you have never played The Sims you create characters, get them jobs, and watch the chaos ensue. Pit your characters against each other or make them fall in love...basically play God. Direct your sims in the most minuscule tasks and even watch them pee. Why is this game so good you ask? And my answer: who doesn't like to play God?

The First Sims Game I Played

The Sims has gotta be my favorite of all The Sims games that I played and how I discovered The Sims was I was stuck at home with a bad cold and Mom had just gotten Dad The Sims as a surprise and once I was well enough and recovered from my cold I came into the living room I spotted my father playing The Sims and I asked my father what he was playing and he told me he was playing The Sims and he asked me if I would like to try it and I said yes. And I fell in love with the amazing gameplay and neat things you could do with your families in The Sims and Dad was so amazed at how well I played The Sims and he soon gave The Sims to me. My favorite part of The Sims is the Create-A-Family feature and I had loads of fun creating my own families and naming them too and this part I think is the best part of The Sims in my opinion. I loved The Sims so much that I have now graduated to The Sims 2 and love that as well. I think Will Wright who created The Sims really hit a home run with The Sims and I think it's the main reason why The Sims was the bestselling PC game of all time and really spun off such cool expansion packs. No wonder why it's no secret that The Sims is the bestselling PC game to come out in years. If you are a Sims fan or a newbie to The Sims Series I recommend you start with The Sims and you will be shocked at how great a game The Sims is, Rather
