Is The Sims A Virtual Dollhouse?

I played with 'little people' dollhouses all through childhood and Sims is my adult version :) I would very much say that Sims is a virtual dollhouse.

I know that dolls in dollhouses never moved themselves, never grew old etc. except in your own imagination. But Sims is just an updated version of a dollhouse which allows you to do a little more. You still need imagination for some aspects of the game. Yes, there are differences, but it is still a dollhouse just the same. Anyone who says it isn't is just kidding themselves ;)

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with guys, gals, young or old playing with a dollhouse, virtual or otherwise.
