That day, I resolved to be more open and honest with my dates about what I’m looking for to ensure we are on the same page early on, and it has made dating so much easier-and less stressful-already.
#When was the sims 1 released mod#
(Unfortunately, there are no dating apps in The Sims-although you can mod the game to add one-and meet-cutes are harder to come by when you have a specific person in mind.) And that’s when it hit me: I’m ready, like actually ready, for a (hopefully) life-long partner and kids. I then spent more time than I care to mention running the Sim version of me around the city trying to “randomly” bump into him. Then I created my cat, Gatsby, because I can’t live without him even in the digital world.Īfter moving my Sim into her new apartment in San Myshuno, spending hours decking it out to somewhat resemble my current home (shoutout to the money cheats), and immediately signing her up for a career in writing, I did something I don’t usually do-I saved my game and went back to Create A Sim to build myself a partner and move him into the same city. While I have rarely changed out of my pajamas over the past year, and even then have rotated through the same four outfits, my Sim was rocking the latest fashion-from ballgowns to swimsuits. This time, I went with accuracy: My Sim wanted to be a writer and was nerdy, adventurous, and liked reading books. How honest I am with myself when picking these depends on the day and what’s going on in my real life. “Who am I?” is always the major theme during this portion of gameplay.

I spent, as I usually do, a lot of time in Create A Sim picking my interests and outfits for various seasons and social scenarios.

(Shoutout to the versions of me in other dimensions who perhaps made some better choices and are chilling on a boat in the Mediterranean right now!) This time was no different.

I’ve been playing The Sims since the original game was released 21 years ago (on February 4, 2000), and most of my playthroughs involve me building a parallel, alternate, or idyllic version of my own life. Well, more accurately, following Cyber Monday, when I randomly dropped $60.52 on four expansion, game, and stuff packs despite not having played the game for two years. My most recent playthrough of The Sims 4 started at Thanksgiving. What I got instead was unexpected, yet far more important-mindfulness and clarity.
