The Sims turns 20 today – and fans are feeling very nostalgic about the game
Here’s one I wrote a few weeks ago while I was working for the Daily Mirror.
Here’s a peek.
The Sims, the popular life simulation RPG turns 20 today, as fans look back on two decades of the franchise.
On 31 January 2000, EA and Maxis released a life simulation game called “The Sims”.
It was a “sandbox game”, with no real objectives and near infinite different things to do.
Players could make their characters simulate daily activities in a suburban area.

I am a journalist who’s passionate about climate change and climate justice. For me that’s the most important story I can write about and contribute to fixing. As a journalist, my way of going about it is to educate people about this existential threat that’s bogged down by skepticism, denialism, lack of comprehension of scope, and general apathy.
I also write about a lot of other things, like social justice, protests, pop culture, lifestyle, and esports. Albeit these stories won’t be as frequent as they depend on what I find fascinating and meaningful to write about at the moment.
This website is both my portfolio and my space to share interesting information- about myself or climate change. Any time I’m commission by a publication (fingers crossed) I’ll crosspost it here for all my audience to see.
This site may even turn into an actual blog from time to time. If I have any personal revelations that my audience can learn from, I may share it here
