When gaming magazines were still popular, you were able to access gaming codes for The Sims like rosebud ( to add 1000 simoleons) and motherlode ( to add 50,000 simoleons) to increase and add more interesting playability options while you were playing. Soon after, the creators of the famous game announced they were going to release a life simulating game where you would essentially play god in creating and making your characters do everything they need to do to survive. It may sound boring but at the time it was exciting. The last Sim City game I played on the original Playstation allowed users to not just build their cities but to view their creation from the viewpoint of public transportation. If you were really good your city would grow into a metropolis that included crime, pollution and unemployment.Īs the game grew in popularity so did the expansion of the game itself.
I remember when The Sims was still Sim City a city-building where you acted as the mayor to build the undeveloped land into a city. I’ve been playing The Sims forever and if you have been playing as long as I have, you know that The Sims lacks serious diversity when it comes to creating characters.
