The Sims!
Fourteen years ago today, the Electronic Arts gaming company and Maxis released a spin-off to the hit city-building game, SimCity. The spin-off was known simply as The Sims and was considered groundbreaking as it was one of the most successful life simulation games ever released. As of March 22, 2002 the game had sold more than two million copies worldwide, making it the most popular PC game in history.
Since the release of The Sims, there have been two sequels made -- and a third awaiting release (The Sims 4) -- both with multiple Expansion and Stuff Packs, and numerous spin-offs of the original game, including The Sims Stories, MySims, and The Sims Medieval as noteworthy examples.
Due to the game's enormous popularity and success as well as my own love for the franchise, I have decided to dedicate this post to EA, Maxis, and The Sims franchise. With that, I would like say, happy anniversary to The Sims!
