Aug 28, 2023Iconic and revolutionary, it's a very good game with some limitations that made it a little tedious late game. Difficult to get all options because of the DLC politic.
Also fun to play as a house builder -
Oct 1, 2022As the first of series, the sims 1 do have some flaws, but over all it's okay, some features can only found in this game, and people like me still finding some tricks and funny animations in the vanilla game.
Sure the score is affected by my childhood memories, but not too much.
7/10. add extra 1 score for my childhood memories. 8/10 final. -

Jun 4, 2022a fun computer simulation.
The game series went to a horrible pay to win direction but whatever -
Mar 13, 2022This game should get a 10! It was released over two decades ago and marked an entire generation. Everyone knows The Sims. Everyone who owned a computer in the early 2000s might have played. I remember I had such a bad computer when I was young, I even deleted files in Windows 95 to play The Sims.
The Sims was one of the most remarkable games in the history of computers! -

Nov 1, 2021The Sims. The beginning of the great series of life simulator. It is amazing. This is amazing. You are an ordinary person playing the life of an ordinary person, and it's interesting. Of course, you can easily become a superstar or a great sorcerer, but these are little things.

Unashamedly used this back when I was at school to make the girl I fancied fall in love with me. Certainly an original game unlike any other, a lot of fun. -
Oct 10, 2020I have played The Sims a few times as a kid, and I remember never getting bored with it. It has its charm, but the limitations of not dying of old age, there being no weekends make it shallow compared to Sims 2 and 3.

Sep 28, 2020One of my favorite computer games ever! The sims is so fun, classic, and nostalgic for me as well. Although the graphics of the game aren't exactly spectacular compared to today's standards, the game is still impressively entertaining and fun. What more is there to say, it's a classic and it will always be an iconic and fun game for many generations to come.
