I find playing the sims it takes away stress from work and other real life stuff. I enjoying making movies and stories with the sims as well

You can do things that aren't possible in real life like getting a job or buying a house.

I've seen this meme so many times.

It fulfills my need to create stories. I keep a tumblr blog for it and that really helps my enjoyment of it. I love that it's such a quick and easy way to create a story when I have no ideas of what to actually write. It's a relaxing past-time from more serious worldbuilding. I let the Sims make their own story and I just document it. Such as not pre-planning spouses for my heirs. Just going with the flow with whoever they're attracted to. I love it when they find someone at the prom~

Also the obvious answer: escapism. We're not allowed to have pets right now, so I give all my households a species or two to raise and breed. Mostly dogs. I very much live through my Sims.

I like the Sims to re-create real places with a symbolism of history to it such as Pyramids of Meroe, located in Sudan and gardens resembled where I visit for inspiration. I love adding some type of realism to the game for others, but also creating crypts for Sims and to challenge others to read the descriptions in my builds, which provide you with hints on where to find death flowers, in case you run into cow plants.

So I can be creative and emerse myself in a world which I can mould.

I like the sims because I can escape from reality. Enjoy creating stories or adventures, I can get lost.

One reason I like the Sims is because I can bring my characters to life and play them how I think they'd act. Also, one of my best friends is good at being creepy, so as a result I play creepy female Sims quite often. I'm weird lol.

I won't get arrested for killing old people with too much sexy time then "inheriting their fortune".

Build Harems.

Making gardens of living statues out of paparazzi.

Travelling to Space to smuggle illegal aliens.

Obtaining immortality then replacing my head with furniture(Managed to replace it with a massive black void once)

Normal stuff




But in all seriousness building houses was what pulled me into Sims.

I like playing games with brightly colored worlds that feature lots of customization. I'm a fan of more cartoonish looking games as well.
Some of my favorite games are:

White Knight Chronicles 1 and 2
Suikoden 1 and 2
Dragon Quest 9
Ledgend of Zelda OoT MM and BotW
Sim 2 and 4

I'm currently enjoying Skylanders Imaginators, and even though it's a terrible cash grab of a game you can make some really awesome looking heroes.

I don't like FPS and difficult platformers because they are really frustrating for me. I also don't like games with depressing themes or game worlds (i.e. Fallout, The Last of Us)

I don't know what else to say so I'll end by posting a picture of a cake.

Basically, it is fun. I enjoyed trying out the CC costumes and building houses. I'm disappointed with the artificial intelligence of the sims. If the sims were smarter, there would be a lot more fun. But anyway, fun enough as a game.
