Do you play the Sims?

I used to feel bad that I still do.

But I had to realize how much I loved dolls as a child, and how much this game, for me, is an extension of that. It's a virtual doll house

I saw a house just now and I want to build it.
I like creating stories and characters, some original, and some from shows I like.

It's also a way to destress sometimes.

I sometimes see it as a time wasters, but if I'm having fun then I guess it isn't

And I have all the EPs so 🤭

I used to play it long time ago on PS2 maybe in 2004 or 2005

Lol true but we kinda were innocent still
Y’know, when I was 16 I travelled with my family to germany. I accidentally unlocked porn channels on the hotel TV in front of the entire family. I cried a river that night out of guilt & embarrassment

@SW-User Yikes! 😬 I remember having similar guilty feelings whenever I saw something raunchy like that on TV. 😳

@Carver Y’know for a young girl from my background being moroccan & all it felt like a crime. I can’t believe how pure I once was. Then life fracked me over

The Sims gave me life skills. You have no idea how much easier parenting is when you make sure you cover the basics: hunger, sleep, entertainment, bladder, and cleanliness.
I like Minecraft but I spent mannnny hours on Sims 2 for PS2 and The Urbz: Sims in the City for Gamecube ✨ long ago

I haven't for a long time. I hope to get [i]The Sims 3[/i] someday (since I hear 4 is inferior), but that will require a big purchase with a lot of downloads, lol. I want to buy all the expansion packs and whatnot like I did with [i]The Sims 2.[/i] But I did enjoy those games when I played them.

@iamnikki Lol, nice. I tried playing [i]The Sims 2[/i] again a while back but it doesn’t play on Windows 10. 😭
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@Carver oh my goodness. Maybe downgrade your PC to windows 8
Carver · 31-35, F
@iamnikki Nah, I’ll just get the [i]Sims 3[/i]. Someday, lol.
Why would you feel bad? Everyone likes to play with something.

@canusernamebemyusername cause it's old, I'm old, and it's a time water
@iamnikki A lot of "old" people like playing older games to try and recapture their childhood. I like older games cause they come at a big discount. Lol And if it is helping you relax it is not a waste of time. Like I'm not a sports person so I think watching football for 2-4 hours is a waste. But other people are enjoying it.

Yep. Found it quite relaxing as a "people watching" simulator during these times.

Ah I miss playing it like an old hobby but still don't do it, keep postponing it
I played it when I was like 6 or 7 and my dad bought our first PC

I love The Sims

You should try playing Second Life. It's like the Sims but every avatar has a real person controlling it's actions. And it looks way more realistic. And it's free.
