the sims 4
I'm so sad what the sims has become. It was my childhood. I remember going to family video and looking for play station games to rent. My dad said I'd like the sims 3 so I got it. I loved it. Time would literally fly when I played it. I still get way too sucked in and forget I'm real and not a sim lmao. Anyway I had to return it the next week but I got it again. And again and again. Until I saved up to buy it. 2014, I'm 10 years old and have been playing sims 3 for 2 years. I was obsessed with LifeSimmer on YouTube. I really wanted The Sims 4 but there was no console release back then and I didn't have a computer. My Christmas present from my dad was an Asus laptop with the Sims 4 Deluxe edition installed. That was my favorite Christmas I think. I was so happy and felt so seen. I then became a degenerate screen addict but I remember truly feeling so happy and content because of the Sims. Like I remember contemplating death as a 12 year old and being like no then I could never play the Sims or watch Dan and Phil again. Which is kind of pathetic but idc <3. Trauma bonded to it. But yeah I was super obsessed on and off for years. I lost my laptop when I got into a toxic relationship but started on console again. I recreated my ex and I and made a family. I put in so many hours and was attached. But he kept the xbox and I lost the save. Which it would've been weird to keep playing but I couldve divorced him or worse idk. I haven't played since. And now the sims is owned by a very corrupt company and keeps pumping out dlc left and right. And worse, I can't access my DLC. I don't have my old email from my origin account- plus origin doesn't exist. And the console DLC doesn't transfer to my Mac :/. I'm downloading it rn and feeling guilty for supporting EA- I'm just glad base game is free now. I played on Mac once years ago and it was rocky so I'm nervous but this one has better specs or whatever. This is a total rant I'm sorry I was watching the Dan and Phil LP and getting emotional and this is my diary entry about it. I'm not gonna proof read this sorry if you read this.
