A fantastic article on GameSpot predicts The Sims to be one of five games to change gaming as we know it.

The "Real World" Gone Digital! Will Wright's new game doesn't involve creating streets and shopping malls. The Sims is a home simulator. Players have the ability to manipulate not just the house but the people that live in it.

Or starve them of social interaction and stimulation and watch them smack the earwax out of each other. Realistic!

A brand new graphics pack awaits you on our tools page. OK, it is not a tool, but it sure looks good there. Pack3 includes three large screen shots from our game and a Sims logo JPG made for tiling.
