When i was 7-8 years old i wished to play a game where i could build a world from scratch. Every single house, every single shop. I'd furnish them to my liking and be very happy. I had SimCity, i had Zoo Tycoon, but that was different. You couldn't furnish houses in SimCity and in Zoo Tycoon you could only customise the zoo, which was lots of fun at first, but got pretty boring as time went on. Thats' why I was very glad to discover The Sims 3 (and The Sims 4 later on) and thats why right now it's literally the only computer game i play. Because unlike all other games, it gives you freedom. Freedom in everything you do. It's a sandbox! And it's wonderful.
