Happy 9th Birthday Sims 4!

I’ve been plying the sims 4 since 2020. I bought it during lockdown. I guess really that makes 2 and a half years, but at this point, it’s closer to three. In these 3 years, I’ve played more hours than I’d like to talk about lol. I’d heard of the sims before then, but I never thought it would be as much fun as it is! If I’d have known it was this good, I probably would have played sims 3 as well, which I still plan to get one day. I think one of the best parts about the sims 4 is honestly these forums. I’ve never met such a friendly and supportive community! If I had to pick just one favorite part of the game itself, I’d have to say my favorite thing about the sims 4 is the freedom it allows me. After playing the sims 4, it’s very hard for me to play anything else, because I keep thing to myself, “if this were the sims there’d be a pack or a mod for that feature” or “if this were this sims, I could just cheat this” or “why can’t this video game character have this customization? I can change that in the sims!” I love being able to set up my game and tell the stories that I want to tell, not being limited by game rules or time limits. It’s just good, relaxing, stress-free fun.
