I’ve always played The Sims. When I was 7 years, I used to count the minutes at school, to go home and play The Sims 1. In The Sims 1, the characters weren’t very real, it was like a cartoon, but I loved to take care of “my characters”, build houses, marry my characters, buy new stuff for their house, get money…
There were these things called “Expansions” for The Sims. According to the expansion you bought, you could take your Sims on vacations, buy them Pets, take them on a romantic date outside the house (In the sims 1, without the expansion your sims couldn’t leave their house or even visit the neighborhood).
In 2006, The Sims 2 finally appeared, I was 12 years old at the time. It was the big revolution; the characters had become so real! The graphic of the game was 3D, it seemed just like reality! Besides, your character could look just like you; there were sooo many options, of haircuts, outfits, skin tone… You could even pick your Sim’s biggest dream in life!
This year, I saw on internet that The Sims 3 was coming. I felt really excited, but then, I thought ” Oh my god, I’m fifteen years old, I’ll seem like a baby playing this, or worse, a non-amusing life person!”. One week after the game came out, my class colleague told me that she had played (it was her little brother’s game though…), and it was REALLY nice. I was so curious, but I still refused to buy it. Until, one day, when i was MY 20 YEAR-OLD BROTHER PLAYING IT! He let me play his game, I became obsessed, it was the best game ever. But, he doesn’t live with me so on a few days; I wasn’t going to be able to play it anymore. I HAD to buy it. And I did. I played every time, during one month, after that, I got tired of it, and I’ve never played it anymore… But after writing this post I remembered how cool it is to play, so maybe in a few minutes, I’ll play it!
