Electronic Arts is celebrating the ten year anniversary of The Sims, the game that lets players create and live a virtual, simulated life on a computer. Since the original The Sims debut on February 4, 2000, the franchise has produced three core games – The Sims, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3. Lifetime unit sales have eclipsed 125 million worldwide.
"No other game in the history of electronic entertainment has ever had the broad, nearly universal appeal of The Sims franchise," says Logan Decker, Editor-in-Chief of PC Gamer magazine. "Everybody plays it: hardcore gamers, young women, celebrities, conservatives, professors, soldiers, grandmothers, even people who say they don't like computer games. And the game-or, rather, the experience-has thrived throughout ten years of sequels and countless expansion packs because EA has kept the environment fresh and infinitely customizable while never getting in the way of the game's primary focus-the player's imagination and the natural inclination of all human beings to create meaningful stories."
