Summary

The Sims is a life-building simulation with emphasis on intimate details of individual characters rather than expansion of an entire society or civilization. You are in control of nearly every aspect of the lives of the individuals who make up your chosen population in the neighborhood. Characters are developed from the ground up and you infuse and mold them with personalities, looks, desires, moods, urges, living arrangements, career and personal choices, life styles, and reactions.

This game is addicting.

I spent much of my youth obsessed with this game (and fighting with my crumby old Packardbell to get it to run it). While it may seem old hat to people nowadays, when this was released it was an absolutely mind-blowing experience.

Will Wright certainly had a vision and he was able to create one of the most successful games of all times. Managing sims’ lives was a difficult task but whenever one manages to get the hang of it it becomes a pretty rewarding game. The neighborhood where you start off is small but a bigger one wouldn’t have made sense at the time, because the game develops mostly inside of the sims’ houses anyways. The build and buy mode is great and it features iconic items that will be featured in the following games too. Another great feature of sims one is the soundtrack, the game had and experimental jazz soundtrack in the build and buy modes, which made the experience relaxing for all players. Another audiovisual component which everyone mentions whenever they talk about sims is the fictional language, which makes the experience impersonal, so as to suggest that the sims could be living in any part of the world, to the player’s pleasure. Anyways the gibberish which we all know and love started out here in sims 1 and it’s probably the most well known feature about this franchise.
