I think I've always been drawn to Sims because I love creating and playing out stories. It's basically my virtual dollhouse - my love of pretend play that I've never grown out of. Pure escapism. I also love drama, whether it be sims, books or films. I always torture my favourite characters...but I also always give them their happily ever after! Well, mostly...
I personally wouldn't want to live in the Sims, although it's probably a lot nicer than our world! I mean, you're being controlled, and then there's the risk of alien impregnation etc. No, I'm far too much of a control freak. However, I have read some theories that we ARE sims or someone's game or experiment (gone horribly wrong, if you ask me :D ), so maybe it's already happening? :#
