Sims

I thought this was a very interesting and also a very humorous article to read. While reading it the entire time all I could think about was when I would play the game a long time ago. I did the exact opposite of what he did though. I would never to try to make the character I had anything like me. This might be because I was just a young kid and this guy was a mature adult. Nonetheless, when I played I would just try to create the best sim that I possibly could. I would try to make the house that I bought as big as possible. I would always to have the nicest and most the most expensive things that I could possibly buy. I guess in a way I was trying to make the character be as successful as I would someday like to become in life. I made my utopia in life through a Sims character. I would have an excellent job that would be a super high paying job, so that I would be able to purchase any of the luxuries that I wanted. I would put so much time and effort into the detail of my house. I would go room by room buying some of the items that looked cool to me and things that I would want in my real life. I just remember that I would always be adding and buying things to make my house bigger and more prestigious then ever. I guess the sims was my way of living my “fantasy” life.

  1. Yes, I think more people had your Sim experience, Vinnie. An escape to utopia sounds pretty nice to most of us. Klosterman uses the game as a tool for self-reflection, which is kind of what he does with everything.
