Happy 10th Birthday, ‘The Sims’! Today marks the 10th birthday of the classic ‘The Sims’ game.* It was released in the US on January 31, 2000.* Were you one of the many who picked it up on that day?* I didn’t come into The Sims franchise until August of that year – had no money to afford a $50 game!* It’s a funny story behind how I managed to get a copy.* It was actually a gift from my friend from back in middle school when he felt bad for pushing me out of my chair in band class and flatting my trombone.* There was no way he was able to afford fixing the actual trombone, rather that was worked out between the parents, but he did give me the money to purchase the game * 10 years later I still have the original game – even my old trombone (which was fixed). * Share your story in the comments!
