Why Do You Like The Sims?

> Well, as I child, I always loved playing with dolls and Barbies. Playing "House" was always my favorite. Doll houses made me scream with delight. Sims is like virtual Babies/doll house. Also, a part of me enjoys control of people. Of course, in real life, this doesn't happen. lol But in my off time, I enjoy leading virtual lives as I see fit. Endless entertainment.
I completely get that too, I love being able to customize them, they're like walking, talking dolls lol.
Well I was a big fan of The Borrowers books and movies for years - so my first thought when I pre-tested Sims 1 for Will Wright was this was much like playing the Borrowers but them finally getting their own homes and not having to live under the floorboards of the humans. It was sort of like my dream came true - as I always hated when a Borrows book or movie ended - I wanted more - and now there was endless adventures for my Sims (Borrowers).

I believe I read them all many times and as an adult even still enjoy seeing the movies made about them. I find them just magical. These books made boarding school bearable for me for some reason even I cannot explain - so you can imagine what it is like to play the Sims with that background in mind.
I, unlike many simmers never looked at the Sims as a dollhouse - seeing I was not big on playing with dolls. I learned to read at 3 thanks to my grandmother who was a Teacher. She once told me I would never be bored or lonely once I learned to read and enjoy books. So I was eager to learn and my grandmother was a master at teaching youngsters. But I was 8 and at boarding school when I received a Christmas package from my Grand Aunt who lived in England with a set of these books. Literally mesmerized me. When I grew up and had kids of my own I also read the books to them, relieving the joy these stories gave me as a child. - So the Sims to me is not about a dollhouse but my Borrowers - lol. And they never get old to me...

In REALITY, I simply exist.....

i've always been a simulation person. i love to control people, and how they live their life. but the sims franchise was far beyond that! i became addicted, and here i am todayz :p
Also, I love "simulation". It's like doing something but not really doing it
It's funny, because when I think about the basic Sims 1, before all the expansion packs and downloads and whatnot, it wasn't really that much to do. You were pretty much trapped in your house, you couldn't go anywhere, all you could do was to hang around in your house and keep yourself entertained.
> I love everything about The Sims, but my absolute favorite thing is the soundtrack!
THIS! I play the soundtrack at work sometimes because it's really beautiful.
Sorry, I can't edit my original post lkl

Beautiful, confident, skillful, and not to mention, intelligent.
Aaaaand I can kill sims and pretend like they are the actual people I hate in real life :D :D :D
