Critic Linda Holmes has been playing The Sims since the early 2000s. Twenty five years in, she says she still finds the game charming but puzzling.
When I first started playing The Sims, which was probably not long after it launched in 2000, I wasn't sure what to make of it. I had played the precursor, SimCity, where you build your own little kingdom, which at the time involved a lot of complicated and tedious placement of pipes and wires. But The SimsBack then, at least the way I played it, you sort of plunked your Sim down in a virtual house and things started to happen.
Although, of course, you can decide to be a chaos agent. My Sim recently attended a party where she played the piano badly while someone else was trying to do stand-up comedy in the same room. No one liked it. Everyone was grumpy. Sometimes, you just want to watch a nonthreatening collapse of a simulated social event, I suppose.is still a game that I find charming but puzzling. The Sims are like humans, but ... not really.
