I have always thought I would be a good parent - upstanding and wise, like Atticus Finch. But those close to me disagree. The consensus is that I am too career focused, busy, and impatient to care for a real child right now. And as my spider-like offspring scrambles around the fridge, looking for leftover potato chips, while I am busy seducing the widow next door, I have to say - maybe they’re right.
If only raising a family was as easy as it is in The Sims. All you have to do with Sim children is feed them a sandwich every once in a while, wait for the schoolbus to pick them up, play with them every few days, and hire a nanny for when you are at work. Can’t afford a nanny? Pop in the motherlode cheat and you’re sitting pretty for the rest of your Sim’s life.
Unfortunately, the reality is that raising children is hell. If anyone knows this, it is the designers behind the original The Sims, who juggled their family life to bring us our virtual, Stepford one.
Here’s why The Sims 4 is rated 18+ in Russia.
Roxy Wolosenko and Claire Curtin have been best friends for 18 years. They paint together, their daughters often hang out, and Curtin is the godmother to Wolosenko’s daughter. Their friendship was cemented by the time they worked side-by-side as lead designers on the original Sims game - you can blame them for the addition of social services.
