Is The Sims A Virtual Dollhouse?

I find this very interesting and funny, I smiled when I read this because once when someone asked why I play the sims, I told them that when I was 10 my mother said I was to old to be playing with my doll house and she took it and put it in the cellar, I remember going in the cellar and finding it and use to sneak down there to play with it. When my grand daughter gave me the Sim 19 yrs ago, I thought now I have a virtual doll house and can play when ever I want. I love the sims. they are interesting and created, I love writing, and in sims you can created amazing stories to go along with you game. they stir up the creative part of your brain I believe.
