My first experience with the sims was when I was really young and I remember literally not knowing how to play, this was sims 2 on the ps2. I believe I was m have 6 or 7 at the time and ever since then I loved the sims and the whole aspect of it. The idea that you can simulate life in many ways has always been intriguing personally and that's why I love the sims. When I was 10 or 11 I had the sims 3 on my Xbox and I spent all day and all night on the game, I loved creating households and building houses, having sims being brought back home because of curfew and being robbed. It's simple things in the sims that I love and I guess that is why I love the sims 4, I have had the sims 4 since I was 12 on the ps4, I had it pre ordered and all my family planned out, storylines included. I was so excited for the release on the ps4 because I had seen the sims 4 on YouTube for a couple years prior to the console version release. Sims 4 has also been a way out for me to, I have been able to simulate the perfect life and do things that I haven't been able to in real life, which is why I love the game so much, you can do almost anything and it's amazing. When my younger brother got put onto life support in 2017 for the first time, sims was the only game that took my mind off of things and the way the game is structured to have endless possibilities really helped, it's impossible to have nothing left to do on the sims, if you complete an aspiration, pick another one to complete, if you max out a skill, start focusing on another, it's so easy to fall in love with the sims with just the base game alone.
My favourite memory on the sims was actually with my family last year, we had the sims 4 downstairs on the ps4 connected to our TV and my step mum and dad asked me to create them on the sims 4, which I did, then we messed around a bit making them look hilarious, then they asked if they could have a pet each... So my step mum created a nice husky malamute mixed breed, all nice and friendly.... Then there was my dad... Who created his "killer dog" which was a Yorkshire terrior, with traits such as aggressive, it was so funny and what made it even funnier was I left the room for 4 minutes to go help my sister in the kitchen and heard my step mum laughing with my dad because they had managed to drown my step mum's sim in the pool and had my dad's "killer dog" attacking a random sim who was trying to welcome the sims to the neighbourhood, honestly it was so funny.
Which is nice that the sims 4 is actually great for family's to bond over too and have a laugh with, as well as creating opportunities for creativity and happiness in people to increase.
