10 hilariously stupid things we all did in The Sims

Honestly: The Sims was just the shit. One of the best-selling computer game series ever. 200 million copies sold. And the nostalgia that some feel when we think back on it, man oh man. Sometimes I really didn't understand why I did what I did in the virtual world. Just because ‘it could’, I guess. Just look. Because with a new Sims on the way, it's time for good old memories.

1. You built a swimming pool and then removed the ladder, causing your Sim – naaaaa – to drown! Then you immediately regretted it and begged the Grim Reaper to bring them back to life. HAHAHA.

2. Only to later let your Sim die again in a sadistic way. Why did we do this?

3. Or what about just setting your house on fire? The fire department was always too late and then your Sim ran around in panic.

4. In the beginning, you did everything by the rules and made sure your Sim got enough sleep, took nice showers, and had plenty of food in the house.

5. Until you discovered that there were CHEAT CODES that meant you didn't have to do anything but raked in tons of cash (do you remember ‘Motherlode’? OMG.).

6. It was also quite funny to think that you recreated everyone from your surroundings in The Sims to make it really look like reality, but one where you had all the control. Even your crush was recreated. And that one annoying classmate. Everyone.

7. And speaking of that crush: you of course wanted them to go ‘ooh yesss’ with your Sim in the pool. It was definitely very strange that people could have sex underwater for so long and you didn't really see a thing, but hey, it was your imagination that could run wild, making it fun.

8. But because at some point you were doing ‘ooh yesss’ with so many different Sims, serious fights broke out in the village between all sorts of other Sims. Whoooops. Drama for ya mama…

9. Moehaaaa, do we remember this? When you got pregnant, you ate as much cheesecake as possible so you would have twins.

10. Also, let's discuss a little trauma: The Sims gave you an extremely unrealistic view of childbirth. WHY did your kiddo always have to be taken away by social workers? WHY weren't you a good parent? Totally messed up.
