have you ever dreamed of constructing your own mansion? building an empire, business establishments, and other luxury town houses?, going out of town for a vacation, using your own chopper or a sports car? ... of course, who doesn't want those?, but how?, it could be very frustrating though if you would just dwell in your fantasies. Why not take them all with you and explore the world of strategic life simulation.
I remember way back 2005 when a friend introduced a PC game called "The Sims" by Maxis and EA games where you can play God in your own world...How you handle your own life would somehow reflect on how you will play this game.
The "Sims" is a simulation game where you can control your own world. The excitement of this game depends on your interests. You can always build your own mansion with a beautiful landscape for your family to enjoy, or simply live a single life, have a great job, and date someone in your neighborhood. Aside from other cool features, a Sim can get pregnant and deliver a child.. they can grow up, grow old, and they can also die. As morbid as it may sound, there are several causes of death in this game: by accidentally catching fire while cooking, or by drowning in the pool and starvation, but I bet you don't want that to happen.
The "Sims 2" came after Maxis released the last expansion pack of the "Sims" last 2004, and it's far more different from the latter when it comes to graphic designs. You can now zoom your camera to view a closer look unto your Sims facial expressions, and even customize their face on how (or whom) you would want them to look like. You can even copy your own photo! now we're talking... I had to spend a lot just to obtain all the expansion packs, and there are more than 10 expansion packs released in the market. Obviously it's a total obsession!
Because of its success, Maxis has announced an upcoming game called the "SIMS 3" which will be released by June... and it's larger than ever! For example, this time, the Sims can walk outside their house to visit the local neighborhood. I'll be looking forward to check this one out!
Playing this game inspires you to be more creative, and sometimes can influence you to live your life according to your own purpose...
Happy Simming, everyone!
