A life-simulator that has managed to expertly tap into everyone's inner control freak. It is a lot of fun and, as
said before, very addictive.
Eerily life-like virtual
people get jobs, spouses, friends, home furnishings, and children. They have hobbies, wants, fears, aspirations, and drama within their social circles. It's so creepy how
real they can become.
You the player are in control of everything they do and can make each sim's life
perfect or a living hell - and everthing in between. Eventually Sims get old and die. Hopefully they've raised good children so their family
tree can continue growing once their gone - if that's the way you'd like to play. It's totally up to you.
"My Sim is unemployed, his wife wants only to "WooHoo" with 3 other Sims, their children are failing school, the repo men are taking the refrigerator and the
toilet is clogged. What am I supposed to do?"
"Delete the
family and make a new one, it's just a
game."
"NOOOOOO!"
