Part of my own enjoyment of the Sims is to experience life that I can't in real life due to serious illness. I live vicariously through my Sims - because real life made it impossible for me, especially for the last 10 years.
In the early days before the Sims came out and I first learned Will Wright talking about them - it reminded me of my beloved childhood bookseries called The Borrowers. Then when I first saw the Sims as a tester for his new game - that's all I could think of was a more modern day version of the Borrowers. Instead of little people living under the floor board of human houses - they now got to have their own houses. I never was a big player of dolls and dollhouses even though I had collections of dolls and several Doll Houses - I never played with them - I would decorate the doll houses and make things for it - maybe even make my dolls new clothes - but playing with them like most girls did was never my interest. But I did love to create things for them - and just admire them on shelves - then I'd go read books and tried hard to picture my dolls as Borrowers and it just never worked. Then the Sims became a reality and I got to test it in 1999 - they were my Borrowers come to life.
So I was busy living life, doing everything everyone else did, and in between enjoying playing life with my Borrower Sims when I had the time - lol and then life itself took an abrupt turn - like a real life Series of unfortunate events - no sense rehashing it all - but through out it all - Sims seemed to make it bearable and has kept making it bearable...
