The Sims 2

I liked the first Sims and then eventually got the Sims 2 and all the various expansion packs. You can design people, design houses for the people, and control (to some extent) what the people do. It's quite fascinating. You get your people jobs and then you can buy more stuff for their houses. Of course just like real life stuff can happen like job losses, other people not liking you, fires, burglars coming and taking stuff. The goal is to keep your Sims happy and help them achieve their aspirations. I guess I find it fascinating to be able to create this whole little world and people. Hey, it's a nice little break from life. It's very engrossing, and once you get into it, you can find you've spent hours playing.
