The Sims franchise has provided me with emotional support through some very difficult times in my life. Difficulties which have affected me physically and mentally. There have been times when I have dragged myself to my laptop to play, to have the distraction and to at least feel better mentally for a while afterwards. The value of the Sims to do this should never be underestimated and there have been times when I have been very grateful for my little pixel friends. Enough said otherwise I shall start crying.
I no longer use Origin or My Page. You can find me on YouTube or Twitter as Bettyboop711000. You are welcome to contact me as I explore options for a PC sandbox life simulation game.

Honestly, it has helped me enormously with stress. Through Sims I can focus on something fun and creative and it is the only thing that relaxes my mind.
I did get The Sims when I was suffering from depression for which I got early retirement. It helped me through a bad time and I also got a dog which helped by making me walk miles and meet new people.
Much, much later I found all my troubles were due to Coeliac Disease (gluten intolerance) and useless GPs & works doctors who hadn't even considered it until a brilliant woman GP gave me a test. Luckily it was past retirement age and I saw a consultant who told me it causes a lot of symptoms of other diseases and I found that my complete life changed after. Depression, aches all gone.
I am still addicted to Sims games though and had two dogs in the meantime!
