What would life be like if Sims never existed?

I was still a gamer before the Sims, so I'd still be playing something, but this game really is the largest part of my life in terms of what I do for fun. I was a pretty big fan of StarCraft back in the day; who knows, maybe I'd have been more invested in StarCraft II when that came out. I'd still be gaming for sure. Never not gonna do that.
