Overview
Fire! Fire! Call The Fireman! - Ahh Robber, Get The Police! Sounds sort of weird reading online huh? Well trust me, when you play The Sims don't be surprised to have yourself murmuring this. The Sims is a "Real-life simulation" made from, Electronic Arts - the same division that made SimCity. When you first hear of this game you might be somewhat unattractied to the "gameplay". You might think it is as fun as a regular person's dull life, which it is, and that strangely enough is what makes it such a fun game. The objective of the game is to become a successful key in every-day life; you hunt for jobs, keep the kids in control if you have any, and everything else a real person would do in their life. When I say this game is fun, it is definitely an understatement.

Succeed in life; the objective of the game is simple as ever. Unlike other game genres, in this one there is no real way you can win in the game. The game just keeps going on forever. Getting bored? Start a new life and experience the glee again. The Sims creators have been releasing official add-ons every Thursday. The add-ons aren't big downloads either, they usually weigh in at 1 megabyte or less. Modifying the textures on the sim characters is an easy task. I even found myself making skins of people I knew such as a Snicker skin!

Drawing the line between a game and real life.
