And despite still having virtual bladders, they didn't need to constantly heed the call of nature. Now if you played The Sims and The Sims 2, you will remember that you had to handhold your sims' lives; this includes each and every bathroom break, which seemingly occur every minute or two in game time. That's a lot of flushing. Yet, here I was, at EA, playing The Sims 3 and discovering that what the designers have been promising seems to be true: The Sims 3 is a much broader game than its predecessors, more concerned with telling stories than with focusing on the ordinary minutiae of everyday life.

They all deserve a remaster, alongside the Sims City games. Sims 3 in particular should be looked at more only cause of how hot it makes PC's.

A voice actor for The Sims spoke about his experiences doing voice work for the game's fictional Simlish language, and how there was no dictionary for them

The Sims franchise has been a part of my life ever since the first game came out. It was one of two games I camped outside of a store for, the other one being Black & White.
WHAT??? The toilet was the central concept around which the entire appeal for Sims 1/2 was founded!!!
Will Wright, you have made an enemy today.
it didnt seem too long since sims 2 came out
when sims 1 came out, i thought a sequel was never coming
I'm still waiting for The Sims: 1984
"Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime is death."
LOL MAN U MADE MY DAY BUBBLES FOR THE 1984 COMMENT LOL
is playing as your "everyday life" in, if this feature was taken out or was less focus on, the replay value of Sim is no longer in doubt, therefore you will be bore over time
