I have become obsessed with The Sims lately, after spending hours of watching Sims gameplay and hearing my friends in college talk about it nonstop, I finally ordered it online. I'm currently waiting for it to be delivered, and the whole simulation world got me thinking. I've been wondering why myself (and thousands of others) have been drawn to The Sims like a moth to a flame. I cannot speak for everyone of course, so I have contemplated he reasons why I am so drawn to it.
1) When you're creating Sims, styling them, picking their traits and more or less writing their destiny, it gives the feeling as though your the hand of God, and you have complete control.
2) Designing, I adore the whole making your home in buildmode part of the game. In real life I wouldn't be good at it probably, however on Sims I feel like I'm the best (big headed much) something about being able to place a wall here and allocate a window there, and picking every piece of furniture, it is exciting.
3) This I believe is the main reason for me being drawn to the Sims; Recreating myself, I like to create my future self. Everything I want to be, do and live I can recreate in the Sims. It's almost like a life plan but in a game, also I can make the Sim version of me ideally how I want to be as well as make their life way more interesting than mine.
So I thought I ought to share this with you guys, before the game comes and I spend hours in front of a screen (yes more than usual). Think about something you like, a game or a film and ask yourself why are you so drawn to it?
