The Sims is like a story that you’re writing and reading at the same time. You can choose to be in control of every element, or you can let the game make its own way – whatever the case, you still feel genuine emotion when you watch it come to fruition on your screen; trepidation at a new birth, elation at a wedding, sorrow at death. You are the one who made it happen yet you still appreciate it like it was a surprise.
