I’ve been playing The Sims for nearly 20 years now. The franchise released its first game when I was a baby, so in a strange way, Maxis’ flagship IP has grown up alongside me. Just as I’ve cycled through my own phases—bubbly geek, emo wannabe, and now-writer—The Sims has undergone its own transformations. From experimental spin-offs in the early 2000s to full-scale reinventions of its mainline entries, the iconic life simulator has lived a dozen different lives.
