Besides bringing out the voyeur inside of me, I've found "The Sims" to be the most addictive and wholly enthralling game I've played in ages.
The game is really fun despite all of the tasks you have to remember.
A refreshing and at times thought-provoking human-scale simulation.

The Sims 1 is a groundbreaking life simulation that started it all, offering unprecedented freedom to create and control virtual lives. Its quirky charm, emergent storytelling, and addictive gameplay remain timeless. Despite simpler graphics and limited expansions compared to later entries, it set the foundation for the series’ enduring success. A true classic. 9.5/10

It’s a fairly simple concept but its complexity and the way it draws you in is amazing. And the replay value is through the roof!

The lack of any real objectives becomes somewhat tedious after a while, but it is still hard not to recommend The Sims to everyone.

Original, amusing addictive, and most of all incredibly fun and relaxing to play. If we only had more great ideas like these…

Those who have enjoyed other Sim-style games will enjoy The Sims, but for others, the game may not differ enough from real life to seem interesting.

It does become kind of mesmerising, but like watching waves on a beach, chances are that pretty soon you'll tire of the lack of variety on offer.

Aquele jogo que simplesmente fez minha adolescência feliz junto a GTA e RollerCoaster Tycoon 2.

Es un juego muy original y adictivo pero la IA de los sims es un asco, ademas de que la version de PS2 es superior graficamente y no hay arbol genealogico. Tambien, las barras en este juego bajan muy rapido, siendo un juego muy frustrante.

Origin of the wellknown serie, which invented the whole new gaming genre. The idea of the game is great but in the end, the game is just too shallow or is the only meaning of the life to eat, sleep, work and having sex? But it is a solid base for improving as Maxis Games did with the following episodes.

Very good gameplay, almost innovative for its times. The bad points are the graphics and the performance, since the graphics **** and you still get low FPS on low end PCs (such as PCs of its times). The sound is really boring, except for some tracks. Overall, it's a mediocre game, which could be even better, since the idea was good.
