@ZazzyKittyn Hi! Thanks for sharing your view it’s interesting to hear (I think there have been a similiar comment before from another simmer?) and it got me thinking… This is my view on issues / life struggles in a game:
We all have struggles in our lives, that’s a part of being a human being. But I believe that ”play” can be a way of process our experiences. Your always in control in a game, it’s a safe space where you are the director of your/your sims life. It’s a place where you can be who you are and discover who you are. It’s a place where problems easily can be solved, and maybe that can give us a feeling of encouragement and control?
Children do play to process their self and their surrounding. I’m much (MUCH! :) ) older than that, but I do think that “play” is something we need to do all our lives.
I really sorry to hear that you struggling with mental illnesses. I do hope that I can send some strength to you and others that struggling out there.
Take care and stay safe out there. <3
