My memories of The Sims go back to my college days where I played EA’s life simulator long enough to see the sun go down and come up again without interruption or blinking of my dry, itchy eyes – I couldn’t stop playing.
While the core concept of The Sims hasn’t changed drastically since I spent my nights building ladder-less pools or houses without toilets only to hear my Sims complain in their charming and hilarious simlish language, many improvements have been made over the years that make the latest iteration worth your time.
The Sims 4 is the most ambitious and fun game in the series’ history and EA is making it very enticing to wake up sleep deprived with my head on the keyboard all over again.
When you boot up The Sims 4 you will quickly realize that no one can tell you what to do or how to do it – you are the master of your world. Messing with your Sims is of course still the best thing about the game and being powerful never gets old. In this year’s game you can personalize the Sims’ appearance, influence their emotions and even send them off to travel to new worlds!

Here’s a list of tips on how to build in the world.
