Its sequel, The Sims 2, is considered a kind of magnum opus of the series and spawned somewhere in the region of one hundred and thirty million DLC’s and stuff packs, and it’s all available for free, until the 31 st July on Origin, EA’s distribution software. It’s a life simulator, where you control families of simulated humans – sims, and lead them along the winding, fraught path of life to whatever bizarre ends your fevered mind can dream up. The Sims, for those of you who’ve recently awoken from cryogenic stasis, is one of the seminal pc games of all time. Then presumably somewhere in the universe of The Sims, Sim Will Wright made the version of The Sims they play in The Sims, and that, as they say, is history. On the eighth day, God made Will Wright, who in turn made The Sims.
