I understand why people play it but I really don't find it fun. I had the first Sims game and I played it for it about an hour and got bored of trying to improve my sims house and job.
I even tried making it more fun by creating a family that lived around the corner from my mates that were dirty scumbags and just left them to **** themselves to death but still, it wasn't that fun for me.
At least you enjoy the game though, that's all that counts.
