'The Sims' Just Turned 18, Here Are 15 Pictures To Take You Back To Your Favorite Game
One of the biggest spinoffs of the Sim City franchise, The Sims started a massive franchise that people are still playing today. While the new versions have all sorts of fancy stuff (that costs a buttload of money), we still have a soft spot for the original, which came out all the way back in the distant year of 2000. Here are some of our favorite moments from the game!
Building your first house was mindblowing!
Nothing was better than taking yourself and the sim you made of your crush on the hottest of dates.
Not to mention finally getting around to making your house as spiffy as possible.
And using mods to just make everything even more gorgeous.
Though let's get real, the part we all looked forward to was seeing what kind of crazy situations we could put our sims in.
Like lighting everything on fire.
Seriously, everything...
The memories just get crazier from here...
I mean, who wouldn't want a toilet in their living room, right?
Or a pool that wraps around your entire house?

Or getting this super ominous message...

When Death himself came for you...
But of course, the best part was making everything FABULOUS!

Your Favorite 'Mario Kart 64' Character Reveals The Truth About Your Personality
Playing Mario Kart was one of the most important things that you could do as a child. It was how you were going to develop that mental acuity needed in your day-to-day life. Sure, you could learn some things at school, but Mario Kart taught us problem solving in ways that were actually fun.
