Is The Sims A Virtual Dollhouse?

Yes, it is. I loved playing Barbies as a child. I never got the Dream House, or the Town House. I had 1 pink couch. That's it. Now with the Sims, I got my dolls and the houses!
It's not just for girls. GI Joe was a man "Barbie". He could go out and do his military thing, then come home to Barbie and their one pink couch. With Sims he can really be a soldier and come home to their dream house.
Barbies had a Skipper, a teenager. With Sims there are babies and toddlers and kids. I don't like any of them personally, I hated Skipper. But it's nice to have.
I'm too old to play with real Barbies now. Sims is it for me!

Skipper was Barbie's little sister. I had one. I missed getting her best friend, Midge, though. I had a real Ken Doll, but not GI Joe. I played into my teens, too. :open_mouth: Now, it doesn't matter that my only daughter owns my Barbie collection, I've got my Sims!
