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

Fico tão triste da galera não gostar ou nunca ter jogado o milenal dos The Sims

Increible, lo jugue cuando tenia como 11 años en un pc super viejo y lo disfrute demasiado, obviamente ha avanzado mucho pero este realmente tienem ucho que ofrecer.

It made a difference in the gaming **** was really exciting to do things in this universe that you couldn't do in real life. When I first played it, I lost track of time.

My childhood vibes have come! Oh I spent hours in this game... I would like to try it now. I wonder if I would enjoy it as much now...

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

Iconic and revolutionary, it's a very good game with some limitations that made it a little tedious late game. Difficult to get all options because of the DLC politic. Also fun to play as a house builder

As the first of series, the sims 1 do have some flaws, but over all it's okay, some features can only found in this game, and people like me still finding some tricks and funny animations in the vanilla game. Sure the score is affected by my childhood memories, but not too much. 7/10. add extra 1 score for my childhood memories. 8/10 final.

greattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

The Sims surely a mind blowing games. We just remembered playing tamagotchi, Pokemon etc But now we play a human being with all them needs. One of the best games concept and experienced on its era.

a fun computer simulation. The game series went to a horrible pay to win direction but whatever

This game should get a 10! It was released over two decades ago and marked an entire generation. Everyone knows The Sims. Everyone who owned a computer in the early 2000s might have played. I remember I had such a bad computer when I was young, I even deleted files in Windows 95 to play The Sims. The Sims was one of the most remarkable games in the history of computers!

Huge sims fan and remember when this first came out. Spent hours on this but not easy to manage everything as you can expect.

Um game tão revolucionário em sua época que ainda permanece incrível nos dias de hoje!

The Sims. The beginning of the great series of life simulator. It is amazing. This is amazing. You are an ordinary person playing the life of an ordinary person, and it's interesting. Of course, you can easily become a superstar or a great sorcerer, but these are little things.

The Sims is an iconic piece of gaming history. Though its isoThe Sims is an iconic piece of gaming history. Though its isometric fake-3D world may not appeal to gamers today, its charm lives on and its playability remains in tact.

the game that started it all! sure it hasn't aged well but it is 21 years old and thats to be expected (my car is 25 years old and it gets the job done lets just say). they'res still a nice amount of custom contents available online and depending on what kind of simmer you are you might just get a few clothing items or get objects, skins, walls, floors and more. It's best enjoyed when you take it as seriously as possible or you take it as UN-seriously as possible! or at least in my experience. The base game isn't much to write home about but expansion packs add more fun stuff to play around with, the sims was revolutionary then and even now can be respected for what it was, it may be 21 years old but dang i bet someone has been playing it constantly for 21 years (at least a few) i bet it'll live on for an extra 21 years too.

Игра как будто урезана контента не хватает, задумка офигенная управление камерой отстой полный неудобно, Все на экране такое мелкое что ужас!

Отличаная игра своего времени, которую просто не за что было ругать, кроме хардкорности.

I fell in love with The Sims as a child. I spent tens and tens of hours playing this game. I was simply fascinated by the fact that I have the opportunity to create a sim, get him a house and then live my virtual life. It may sound silly, but in my opinion it worked and it was one of the best simulators I've ever played. The game has its own atmosphere and I just love the music that plays when creating a sim. In the game, after creating Sim, you have the opportunity to buy or build your house. Building a house is really great and I can imagine that a lot of people will play this game only through building houses than living virtual lives. Living life here is quite similar to the real one. You have to eat, drink, sleep, have fun, go to work and earn money. Just life, you just control it through the screen with the click of a mouse. Whether you enjoy it or not, you have to judge for yourself. I've heard that the game is enough for girls, but I personally enjoyed the game. Great game for me, which I recommend.

Начало великой серии игр. Играл в детстве с одноклассниками и получал удовольствие.

life simulator, what could be worse, right? You have little to do in real life? So are you still going to play life simulator? Well, you are sick! Симулятор жизни, что может быть хуже, правда? Тебе мало чем заняться в реальной жизни? Так ты все еще будешь играть в симулятор жизни? Ну ты болен!

My favourite game back when it was released. It was such an unique experience, but also had its limitations. Great start to the formula.

A revolutionary game - best in its genre, which has drawn millions of players to the screens

One of the games that I played a lot in my childhood, and also a guilty pleasure because I wouldn't tell any friends that I enjoyed it so much xD

OVERALL - 89% Gameplay - 6/10 Graphics (for time) - 6/10 Story - 5/10 Game Length - 9/10 Characters - 6/10 Level/Area Design - 9/10 Atmosphere - 7/10 Sound Effects - 7/10 Soundtrack - 8/10 Replay Value - 10/10 Unashamedly used this back when I was at school to make the girl I fancied fall in love with me. Certainly an original game unlike any other, a lot of fun.

I have played The Sims a few times as a kid, and I remember never getting bored with it. It has its charm, but the limitations of not dying of old age, there being no weekends make it shallow compared to Sims 2 and 3.

Лучшая игра в своем жанре, которая затянула у экранов миллионы игроков, в то время просто была невероятной. 10/10 серия живет и развивается

One of my favorite computer games ever! The sims is so fun, classic, and nostalgic for me as well. Although the graphics of the game aren't exactly spectacular compared to today's standards, the game is still impressively entertaining and fun. What more is there to say, it's a classic and it will always be an iconic and fun game for many generations to come.

I have so much memory with this game. The fact that this game was the first in the franchise and had this great fresh idea make it a masterpiece for me.

Why only 7.9 user score? This game was revolutionary. It's a simulation of everyday life. It's fun to create yourself in-game and even recreate your own house.

Just brilliant and unique game, great if you where a kids around this time!

It was revolution of gaming. I remember that everywhere were advertisement of this game. I played it with my cousins every day and every night it was so better than other games and more fun.

Forse avrà una grafica troppo semplice, non c'è un numero spropositato di opzioni e la possibilità di sapere di tutto e di più dei ****, ma è stato veramente un gioco innovativo. Avere la possibilità di creare una casa, una famiglia e semplicemente vivere, ha veramente messo in chiaro cosa sia un gioco di simulazione.

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.

At the time this game was very good, however, it has not aged to badly. However as in every game there has to be some flaws. The graphics have not aged well and the objects are 3D, but the sims and the camera perspective are not the best. You are locked in around a 45 degree angle. The game is a blast though. Highly recommend!

man.. do i have great memories playing this game. it was such a unique and fun experience when it came out. it was just such a blast building your house, starting a career from scratch, and slowly improving the life for the sims, or destroying it - if that was your thing. to this day, I prefer it to the newer games in the series. it is just simple, relaxing fun.

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.

Hikaye = 0 Oynanış = 8 Grafikler = 7 Sesler = 8 Keyif = 8 Atmosfer = 6 Süre = 6

This game was very different from the norm when it came out, Very fun and addictive to play even still to this day. Still worth a look in even if there is newer versions out.

Incredibly innovative game that captured the attention of even the most casual gamers. This game brought virtual pet to a whole new level: you are not managing a pet but families of human and you can even build your own house and live your dream in it. I think you can even say that this the game that broke the gender barrier. Without this game, there might not be as many female gamers as there are now.

Nostalgic as it is it is Sim 1's 16th year since being released. This game is proved that EA isn't fully all trash. This game is fun where you create people and your house and everything else this game is really awesome! Nostalgic is the word that it takes and keeps.

Easily the second best sims game in the sims series to date, and it even gets better when you have all of the expansions installed. Now the CAS is the simplest in the series, like there is no fitness level but who cares there are some awesome bodies and heads to chose. so what are you waiting for get the game now and if you cant find it at any store just pirate it with all of the expansions

A good game for its time. It also created a whole new genre. I remember playing it for 2 weeks with 1 character in a small house who would learn stuff quickly and progress thru jobs with the only difficulty of getting more friends for promotions. Soon you find out that sleeping is not needed and you can just drink Espresso 3 times in a row and visit VC instead of a night sleep. After I reached the best job and was earning $1k per day, and sold my paintings a couple hundred bucks each while at the same time increasing "fun" need - the game was won or something. I tried a married couple, then 8 guys all sleeping in the simplest beds and working as construction workers - and that was it. Unfortunately, for a gamer, this game gets boring after 1 or 2 playthroughs. As it turned out years later, this game became extremely popular among women and girls because they could build a doll house there, buy furniture, choose wallpapers etc. And more importantly - play with "relations" between these characters (who are all very ordinary, mediocre people), and make babies. Unfortunately (for male players) that's the direction in which this game evolved later: more furniture, more wallpapers, more relations, more babies, more parties, and again, more junk you can buy for the house etc. The first Sims game can be played as an optimization game where, e.g. you try to reach the best job in minimal time, or build the best house in minimal time or whatever, like in an economic simulator. The other games in the series with all their expansions aren't really games. They are doll houses for girls and glorify suburban mediocrity.

I grew up with this game. I played it for years and years and years. I loved every moment even if EA published it. If you want to get into the Sims now and understand why it has a place in the hearts of many, then definetely consider buying this title.

Playing The Sims is a unique experience. In my opinion, neither the competitors nor the 2, 3 and 4 sequels have caught the perfect, rounded formula the original Sims had. Newer versions are more fancy but gameplay was way better and faster in that game.

The game is a classic, and still holds up to this day. The game is very dated, and there is a distinct lack of good cheats, but it is entertaining when you get down to it. The gameplay is entertaining, but keeping the Sims happy can be frustrating, since there is always something going on. The houses, the music and the characters are very memorable by Sims standards. Playing with all Expansion Packs is a great experience and there are so many unique things in the expansions. The base game is lacking in content by itself. Despite this, the game has a timeless look and the fact that the game isn't in 3D keeps the textures from becoming ugly with time. The technical aspects of the game are lacking; the game does not work on all systems, the game is susceptible to stop working after system updates, and installing the Expansion Packs is an absolute chore that can **** out several hours of your time. Overall, the game is a great classic, that holds up quite well, but getting it to work is a chore, and the game might not even work, but it is worth it, at least to me.
