"Fun to play, that teaches you about life"

User Rating: 9.6 | The Sims (DVD) PC
This strategy game is the closest to teaching you about real life. In the game you have a home, and a family if you choose. You have houses to choose from or you can build them,but first having to create your self. Now that part about life that comes in, you hav to get a job, to pay bills. Maintain a good mood, like eating, using the bathroom, showering,ect. If you dont let them use the bathroom and stuff they will get angry, not to mention you should study. You can reador study the books to lern mechanics, cooking, talking skills and so on. If you dont know how to cook, there is a chance your sim will burn down the house, or at least everything in it. Now having a job, you will need to raise your sim's skills anyway, if you want premotion. When you get premoted their are certain skills you will need to raise, and after time you will start to need friends. What makes that hard is your work hours, when your job changes, you hours change,which is kind of hard because when your off, your friends might be working. You can go to malls and things to buy clothes, and gifts to give to neighbors and friends. If you eventually meet someone you like, you can have a child eventually, and if you neglect them childservices will take them away. So it teaches you about life, trying to maintain friends, or make enemies(lol). I think this is what makes the game so fun, because it is so close to real life. It is addictive, and you will want to play constantly, but it is a time killer if you are bored and have the time. This is a great game I think everyone should enjoy.
