20 Games like The Sims

Ah, The Sims - the game that allows us to simulate a whole other life and ignore our real-life problems. For those who don't know, The Sims is a life simulation game where you can create your own Sim (aka virtual person) and guide them through their lives. You get to control their career, relationships, hobbies, and even their bathroom breaks. Sounds creepy, right? But that's the beauty of it. Players love The Sims because it offers a sense of control over something in a world where we often feel powerless. Plus, who doesn't love watching their Sims woohoo in a hot tub or start a heated fight with a neighbor? And on this website, you can find games similar to The Sims so you can continue living your virtual life to the fullest. Enjoy, my fellow Simmers!
