Playing The Sims is a right of passage for many young gamers. It’s a game that doesn’t require you to think too much—just live life for other people. It can be a person, a whole family, or a whole town. Go into as much or as little detail as you want. It’s one of the best sandboxes gaming has ever plopped us in.

The great thing about The Sims is that it has so much to offer gamers. You can really make the experience your own, and no two times you play necessarily have to look the same. It’s also a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. From visual glitches to a community that laughs at rosebud cheat codes and the evolution of WooHooing, it’s a pretty fun community to be part of, whether you’re a die-hard fan or just stopping in.

You can’t really know how well you could understand Simlish until you listen to music in it.

It’s safe to say The Sims (or maybe just Sims 4) are here to stay.
