6 d. ago The Sims at 25: a terrifying facsimile of life, death and the endless cycle of work

Launched in an era when voyeurism reigned supreme, The Sims was both a curious pleasure and a Lynchian oddity. A new program in Melbourne celebrates its legacyGet our weekend culture and lifestyle email“Who would you put in your pool these days?” asks my friend while we stand in a giant lime-green dollhouse.
